You know that summer is approaching fast as summer music festivals start announcing their lineups. Last week was no different as Cincinnati's Bunbury lineup was officially announced after many clues and guesses. And as hoped it is basically perfect.
This festival has become a main staple to summer's in Cincy and I, for one, can't wait for the first weekend of June. It all starts with the main stage acts. This year's are The Killers, Florence + The Machine, and Mudcrutch. I am a huge fan of the first two. The Killers have been popular for over a decade from the early days of "Mr. Brightside" to now they have always had a place in my heart. Then there is Florence + The Machine who I personally am most excited about. Florence is one of my 80 or so spirit animals. Her music always puts me in a better mood. Everyone knows them for "Dog Days are Over," but I highly encourage people to listen to their newest album. It is magical!
Along with the headliners are the long list of acts that accompany throughout the day. These include some bigger names like X Ambassadors, Elle King, and even Ice Cube, but also includes some smaller lesser known acts like The Mowgli's and Mad Anthony. I am super excited to see Cincinnati-native Cal Scruby on the set list with his songs like "Fux with Me" and "Midwest City".
Overall it is a well-rounded lineup and Bunbury is going to be amazing.
So... "Bee here. Bee you. Bee free"
