All Things Go

Head to Merriweather Post Pavilion on Saturday, October 1st for All Things Go:



Lorde, Pavilion Stage, 9:30 PM – 10:00 PM

It’s been fast and furious, the success of Lorde (QRO live review). The New Zealand songstress (QRO photos) is barely out of her teens, but blew up in a huge way in 2013 behind Grammy-winning single “Royals” and Pure Heroine, to should-be-headlining festival status (QRO photos at a 2014 festival). She’s become such a megastar that her actually being Randy Marsh was a season-song story line on South Park (“I am Lorde, yah-yah-yah…”). Lorde managed to even avoid the dreaded ‘sophomore slump’ in 2017 with her strong, much anticipated follow-up, Melodrama (QRO review), and comes to headline All Things Go (QRO photos headlining a festival) behind last year’s brighter, if more divisive, Solar Power (QRO review).

Bleachers, Chrysalis Stage, 8:00 PM – 9:15 PM

Once upon a time just the guitarist from fun. (QRO live review), Jack Antonoff launched his own indie-pop side-project, Bleachers (QRO photos at a festival) that has quickly become his ‘main’ gig – when he’s not producing pop hits for the likes of Taylor Swift, Lorde (see just above), St. Vincent (QRO Antonoff-produced album review) & more. He returns to All Things Go (QRO photos at a festival) behind last year’s Take the Sadness Out of Saturday Night (QRO review).

Bleachers
   

Mitski, Pavilion Stage, 6:45 PM – 8:00 PM

Gotta love anyone who names an album after a Milhouse Simpsons quote, like Mitski’s 2014 Bury Me at Makeout Creek. Since, then she has only grown in acclaim & success (QRO photos at a ’22 festival), and comes to All Things Go (QRO photos at a festival) behind last year’s Be the Cowboy (QRO ’22 photos).

King Princess, Chrysalis Stage, 5:45 PM – 6:45 PM

Yet another finds by big-name producer Mark Ronson is the young Mikaela Straus, a.k.a. King Princess (QRO photos at a festival), so catch her on her king-sized couch as she comes to All Things Go (QRO photos at a festival) behind this year’s sophomore full-length Hold On Baby (QRO photos at a ’22 festival).

Lucy Dacus, Pavilion Stage, 5:00 PM – 6:00 PM

Norfolk’s Lucy Dacus (QRO photos at a ’22 festival) has found lots of new fans during the COVID pandemic, like her fellow members of boygenius, Julien Baker & Phoebe Bridgers. She comes to All Things Go (QRO photos at a ’22 festival) behind last year’s amazing Home Video (QRO review) and finally putting out her single “Thumbs” (QRO review).

Hippo Campus, Chrysalis Stage, 4:20 PM – 5:05 PM

From up in St. Paul, Hippo Campus (QRO photos at a festival in the Midwest) have made quite a splash in the indie-rock world, and come to All Things Go (QRO photos at a festival) behind this year’s LP3.

Hippo Campus
   

Faye Webster, Pavilion Stage, 3:35 PM – 4:25 PM

Atlanta’s Faye Webster (QRO ’22 photos) has been releasing her dream pop folk records since she was sixteen, and now comes to All Things Go (QRO photos at a ’22 festival).

Peach Pit, Chrysalis Stage, 3:15 PM – 4:00 PM

The “chewed bubblegum pop” of Vancouver’s Peach Pit head across the continent, as they come to All Things Go (QRO photos at a ’22 festival) behind this year’s third full-length, From 2 to 3.
