Remi Wolf, Caroline Polachek, Westside Cowboy, and others also set to perform at Iowa fest
Phoebe Bridgers, Slayyyter, and Billy Strings will headline Iowa’s three-day Hinterland Music Festival next summer. The fest will take place in Saint Charles, Iowa, from July 30 to Aug. 1.
Other performers include Remi Wolf, Malcolm Todd, Stephen Wilson, Jr., Caroline Polachek, Westside Cowboy, and Haywire, the last of which are slated to perform “in a cornfield.” Pitchfork first reported the lineup. Ticketing details will be available on the fest’s website.
The fest had previously teased Bridgers’ announcement on social media with imagery of the ghost on the cover of the artist’s Stranger in the Alps album in cornfields and hanging out with concertgoers at the fest. But because it was around Halloween, some fans couldn’t decide if it meant Bridgers was performing or whether the fest was just feeling festive.
The announcement of Bridgers’ headlining slot comes on the heels of news that she’ll also be appearing at Coachella in April, positioning for a year of visibility after months of concerts where fans had to pack their phones in Yondr cases. She’s also slated to perform on Saturday Night Live this weekend, when she’ll be musical guest on an episode hosted by John Mulaney. Remi Wolf and Caroline Polachek are also crossover artists from Coachella’s announcement.
Both Slayyyter and Billy Strings have had big years, which will be extending into next summer. Slayyyter put out Worst Girl in America this past spring, earning her a Number One album on Billboard’s dance chart and she has a follow-up “sister” album, Worst Man in America, slated for Dec. 4. Strings put out So Much for Goodbyes this past August, and the album was the bluegrass artist’s highest-charting LP to date, bowing at Number 13 on the Billboard 200.
