More on Solid Sound Festival
Solid Sound Festival was first organized by Wilco in 2010 in association with the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art (Mass Moca). The festival's initial edition featured Wilco as the main act, with side acts from the band members forming the rest of the lineup.
Mass Moca director Joseph C. Thompson spoke to The New York Times about the festival in August 2010. He said that the band and its lead singer were interested in something that was "more than a concert."
"I had their records and liked the range and the literacy and the deep musical knowledge, and in a way it reminded me of Bang on a Can — that strange triangulation between new music and classical and rock," Thompson noted.
Over the years, Solid Sound Festival has featured performances by artists such as Japanese Breakfast, Courtney Barnett, Kurt Vile, Yo La Tengo, and Low, among others.
