Dickson St. Music Festival is Pitchfork-Approved
With all the criticism that Pitchfork is so famous for dishing out, sending a staff member to Fayetteville to cover the Dickson Street Music Festival could’ve been disastrous, especially given that our weekend was severely overshadowed in terms of the music festival scene.
Instead of going all Travis Morrison on our asses, Pitchfork’s Joe Tangari had nothing but good words about the Dickson Street Music Festival.
Tangari wrote, “While the cool kids spent the weekend at Coachella, a little piece of the hipster stratosphere broke off and fell on Fayetteville, Arkansas.”
Later when commenting on the seemingly bizarre lineup he had this to say, “At a glance, the bill for the festival looks incongruous: Shooter Jennings, .38 Special, and the Charlie Daniels Band on the first night and Little Feat, Michael Franti & Spearhead, and Sonic Youth on the second. Strange as it is, though, splitting the acts like that made it a lot less so.”
Here’s to a good review for both the festival and Fayetteville in general.
Oh yeah, and here’s the full story.

woot to fayettenam for producing some good results. and yes the event was incredibly overshadowed with everyone else going on…perhaps next year the lineup will improve as well as the scheduling. it was still fun…
