]]> Fest Intentions: All Things Go Festival 2025 is a fucking beast https://vanyaland.com/2025/04/15/fest-intentions-all-things-go-festival-2025-is-a-fucking-beast/ Tue, 15 Apr 2025 15:18:54 +0000 https://vanyaland.com/?p=10041193 It’s a tale as old as time (well, at least since 2014): All Things Go announces its festival lineup, and we here at Vanyaland HQ agree that it’s pretty much the best thing ever. This year’s fest, going down September 26 to 28 at Maryland’s Merriweather Post Pavilion, packs in an absolute motherfucker of a lineup headlined by Noah Kahan, Lucy Dacus, and Doechii. But it’s the undercard here that really shines, as the 11th edition of the festival welcomes […]

But the white-hot Toronto band isn’t worried about any of that, as the unfuckwithable guitar-pop unit is purely concerned with what’s up next, and fast on the agenda is a night out soundtracked by boisterous new bop “Last Girls at the Party.” This firecracker dropped yesterday (April 3), and it retains the playful […]

In some ways, 2023 flashed by in a blink of an eye, and in other way it dragged on seemingly for forever, as evidenced by the sinking feeling we get when we look at headlines from January and February. Perhaps the past 12 months will not go down as the greatest year ever for music overall, but it did deliver some pretty […]
