Festivals keep booking the same 12 names. The rest of the scene is starving.
Most festival lineups look like a streaming homepage. Same headliners. Same posters. Same $400 weekend that treats independent artists as filler between the two acts everyone already knows.
The fans who actually follow those artists — the ones who know the B-sides, who show up on a Tuesday in a 200-cap room — get priced out of the field and ignored in the booking.
Wildlight is the opposite bet. We start with independent artists and the people who already care about them, then build the night around that. No algorithm. No "special guest TBA." If you're on the bill, it's because someone in this community would travel for you.
Early bird GA is open at $89. Members get lineup drops before anyone else. If you know an artist who should be here, bring them.
