High Sierra Music Festival just dropped an initial (abridged) lineup as the fest prepares to move to a new location for the first time in decades. Fans on Reddit called the bill “outstanding,” pointing out deep cuts like Cymande and surprise additions like Rose City Band.
The fest’s rep for spotting rising talent and delivering intimate, high-energy sets popped up in the comments — longtime attendees praised the vibe and small-stage discoveries, and locals say the new site (Redditors mentioned Quincy and nearby fairgrounds) should add more shade, grass, and town amenities.
Early highlights people are excited about: Cymande, Rose City Band, Billy Strings, The Revivalists, Grace Potter, Gary Clark Jr. — plus the usual crop of up-and-comers High Sierra is known for. This is an initial/abridged list, so expect more names to arrive.
Heads-up: fans are already asking about family-friendliness and logistics. If you’re planning to go with kids or need specific camping/amenity info, check the festival’s official channels for the full lineup, ticketing details, and site maps before you buy.
