Yeah Yeah Yeahs To Headline Just Like Heaven Fest 2023

When I think fondly back to the 2010s, I think about the bands that saturated my Tumblr feed: Metronomy, M83, Empire of the Sun, Cults, STRFKR — a golden age for indie rock and electronic dance acts alike. These bands are all still active, of course, and even thriving. But you’d be hard pressed to find their names on most of the biggest music festival lineups these days which are starting to look more and more like carbon copies of each other. Just Like Heaven Fest, yet another festival put on by Coachella promoter Goldenvoice, however, is giving a space for these biggest names in indie with a 2023 festival lineup that’s a refreshing change from the usual, megapop suspects.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs are headlining the festival’s 2023 iteration, playing alongside MGMT — who is performing its 2007 record Oracular Specatular in its entirety for the first time ever — Future Islands, Empire Of The Sun, M83, Hot Chip, Caribou, The Walkmen, Fever Ray, Cults, and more, with Azealia Banks thrown in there as a wild card. It’s one of the most exciting festival lineups we’ve seen yet of 2023, featuring band reunions (The Walkmen, The Bravery) and rare performances stateside by some of indie’s most beloved acts.

The 2023 festival will be the third iteration of Just Like Heaven Fest which kicked off its inaugural event in 2019 and aimed to showcase the best of the “era-defining indie artists from the 2000s.” The one-day event will take place in May at the Rose Bowl in Los Angeles. Below, find everything you need to know about the festival including the complete lineup, location details, and how to buy tickets.
