for you fest has a lineup now. here's what we know and what we still don't.

a few weeks ago we were all processing the news that trisha paytas is doing a live nation festival. now the lineup is out, per billboard, and the event has graduated from announcement to actual thing that has names attached to it.

so. what we know. what we don't.

the lineup is real and it exists now. billboard confirmed the inaugural for you fest lineup is out, featuring podcasters, influencers, and musicians. trisha paytas is in it. this is no longer a press release, chat. it has a lineup.

what trisha's role actually is. the initial announcement connected her to the festival but her exact billing, headliner versus performer versus curator, hasn't been spelled out in the signal we have. the billboard piece names sets from various creators but the specific tier trisha occupies is not confirmed here.

when and where this is happening. the known signal doesn't include a venue or date. live nation is involved. that's the floor of what we have.

what the lineup actually looks like beyond trisha. billboard says it features sets from podcasters, influencers, and musicians. that is a very large tent. the actual names on the card beyond trisha are not in the signal we're working from, so we're not going to speculate about who else showed up.

whether any of the other current arcs connect to this. trisha is currently mid-glp-1 journey, mid-colleen-response cycle, and allegedly attached to a memoir called crying on the kitchen floor. whether any of that figures into the festival programming is unknown. it would be very on-brand if it did.

the broader context here is that the new york times already named her in that piece about youtube stars crossing into mainstream industry infrastructure. a live nation festival with a real billboard-confirmed lineup is a data point in that same argument. make of that what you will.

anyway. the lineup is out. the questions outnumber the answers. totally normal festival behavior.
