Re: Maha Festival - July 28th & 29th @ Aksarben
Comment of mine from the 2015 Maha thread lol. It will fill up around 6-630 for Atmosphere and will be crazy packed by the time Modest Mouse comes out. Maybe it is wishful thinking, but I do think this will be the strongest day crowd to date. Ex Hex and Alvvays are really really good bands to be pla...

Re: Maha Festival - July 28th & 29th @ Aksarben
Alvvays played Maha in 2015 (I haven't been to them all, but still claim that year was Maha's peak) they were really good. Going to be an odd lead into Turnstile. Big Thief used to be a Saddle Creek band. Black Belt Eagle Scout is currently and Icky Blossoms used to be (may still be), I don't think ...
