As the title says, Chapel Hill/Durham, NC based Merge Records will be throwing a festival from July 22-26th, to be held in the wonderful state of North Carolina. No other info at the moment, so all we can do is speculate. One thing we know is that I surely will be there. The other thing we can guess is that it will be in the Triangle region of NC, since Merge is based here. Lineup guesses, “past and present Merge artists” include Arcade Fire, Spoon, Dinosaur Jr., Magnetic Fields, and label founders Superchunk. Anyone hoping for a Neutral Milk Hotel comeback will seriously have to cross fingers.
In other Merge news, Holy God, this is awesome.
