Kanye West, Kings of Leon, Pharrell and a Bunch of Bands You've Never Heard of are Playing the Made in America Festival

Actually, you probably heard of them. My knowledge of indie rock stops at Fitz and Tantrums… because HBO used them in an episode of 24/7 Flyers/Rangers. I’m old.*

The lineup for the Made in America festival – taking place August 30 and 31 – was announced today via odd Twitter videos that made it extremely difficult to, you know, just get a list of who’s playing. Here it is:

Kanye West
Kings of Leon
Tiesto
The National
Steve Aoki
Pharrell
Girl Talk
J. Cole
Spoon
Chromeo
City and Colour
Grimes
AwolNation
R3hab
Gareth Emery
De La Soul
Tommy Trash
Mayer Hawthorne
Baauer
Kongos
3lau
The Neighbourhood
Danny Brown
YG
Holy Ghost
Penguin Prison
Destructo
Bleachers
DJ Cassidy
Cherub
Will Sparks
Young & Sick
Vacationer
Cut Snake
Kaneholler

My analysis is as follows: So, uh, that means Kim Kardashian will be here, right?

*It just dawned on me that, soon, waxing poetic about Green Day’s Dookie, which I’ve been known to do, will be akin to your father waxing poetic about the Eagles’ Hotel California.
