Pickathon is the best weekend a music-lover could ask for, but wouldn't you rather see and hear it from the performers themselves? ARTISTS LOVE PICKATHON "This is the most amazing place I think I've ever played before." - Neko Case on the Wood Stage "I get it now, I get it, I get why Pickathon is what it is." - Andrew Bird on the Wood Stage "Pickathon is the best...I've been taste testing festivals around the world...This is what they're all trying to do" - Feist on the Wood Stage "This might be the best air I have ever breathed." - Bill Callahan on the Mountain View Stage "It's like today is the last day of summer camp, you know?...We all want this moment to last forever." — Sharon Van Etten "Pickathon is the only festival by the fans and for the fans, and it really makes you feel a part of something special." - Adam Granduciel, The War on Drugs "I've got to say this is probably the best festival I've ever been to. I feel so relaxed, and everybody is so nice. Maybe I'm too relaxed, I don't know." - King Tuff on the Mountain View Stage "You can do whatever you want, to try to dampen our moods...to try to pick away, chip away, erode the positive energy vibrations, the happiness we've absorbed over the past few days. Do what you will! It will not affect us.... We are in the bubble. Like John Travolta." - Bonnie 'Prince' Billy on the Mountain View Stage "I have never been this excited about attending a festival, let alone playing and I'm so ready to bust out my tin cup and climb up and down that unparalleled weekend." - Shakey Graves "No advertisers, no waste, just music. This is what all music festivals should be like." - Andrew Savage, Parquet Courts "We sort of had an amazing year. The best year we've ever had as a band, and in my mind it started here." - Lake Street Dive "Best American festival period." - Ty Segall Subscribe to Pickathon's Youtube channel if you want to continue to see the original content that Pickathon will release throughout 2014.
