Anchored by muscular sets from Interpol, Modest Mouse and Franz Ferdinand — and jolted by electric ones from M.I.A., Peaches and the Hives — the Just Like Heaven festival returned for the first time since 2019, bringing together Coachella alumni for a day in Pasadena.
The Just Like Heaven festival, which debuted in 2019, returns next May with a lineup topped by Interpol, Modest Mouse, the Shins and M.I.A.
Live streams from Foals, Blue October and Neil Finn, plus a listening party with Franz Ferdinand, in today’s quarantine roundup.
Franz Ferdinand’s explosive sold-out show at the Wiltern included a couple of tributes, a plea for human decency and music from their new album “Always Ascending.”
