Goldenvoice presents its newest festival for 2022: “This Ain’t No Picnic,” coming Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 27 and 28, to the shady oaks and parkland of Brookside at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena.
The team behind Coachella, Stagecoach, Cruel World and Just Like Heaven said “This Ain’t No Picnic” features six stages of artists from the past, present, and future spanning cutting-edge indie, hip-hop, dance, underground and everything in-between.
Headliners The Strokes and LCD Soundsystem will joined by Le Tigre, who are reuniting for their first performance in 12 years; hometown hero Phoebe Bridgers, IDLES, Courtney Barnett, Caroline Polachek, Honey Dijon, Four Tet and Floating Points in a rare combined DJ set, Yves Tumor, Descendents, Wet Leg, Genesis Owusu, Turnstile, and Hana Vu.
The sixth stage is for Despacio, a custom-built disco sound system designed by James Murphy and team.
“This Ain’t No Picnic” offers a unique setting for both icons and new discoveries, bridging multiple genres, and mirroring the wide but discerning tastes of Los Angeles music fans. The name is a nod to one of Goldenvoice’s earliest festivals, launched in Irvine, California in 1999, the same year as Coachella.
“This Ain’t No Picnic 2022” brings together the talent buying team of Goldenvoice’s Stacy Vee, Jenn Yacoubian and Rene Contreras to celebrate all of the artists they love across one glorious weekend.
Two-day General Admission tickets start at $299 + fees, and two-say VIP passes are $799 + fees.
