Tim Sweetwood, the founder of the Shaky Knees festival, elaborated on the lineup hiring process in an exclusive interview with Blank News on March 22, 2015. He stated that he tried to go after his "personal tastes" before getting at "least half the ones from my wishlist." He added that the other parts "just fall into place" following this.
"The one thing I won’t do is compromise on the genres that I don’t want on the festival. I won’t compromise on bands that I just don’t care for," Tim said.
The founder went on to elaborate:
"...with Shaky Knees we’re trying to establish something this year from a band that played last year and that is playing this year and will play every year from here on out. We’re working artistically with them to make it so that from year to year they are creating something completely different..."
The Shaky Knees festival has grown considerably since its origins in the early 2010s, with its current venue of Central Park giving it a crowd capacity of 40,000 plus people.
The festival has expanded not just in size but in editions as well. Shaky Knees has a number of sister festivals currently on the roster. These are the country music festival Shaky Boots Festival, established in 2015, and the electronica music festival Shaky Beats Festival, established in 2018.
