Hinterland

The Japanese House, the solo musical project of artist Amber Bain, sat down with IPR to discuss the role her pets play in her music and writing her next album.

The five-member indie art rock band played Hinterland for the first time this summer. They chatted with IPR about the success of their debut album, Prelude to Ecstasy, and their decadent sense of style.

Hinterland brought one of its buzziest lineups in years, and fans responded in droves. The first and last-day crowds blanketed the hills at all hours and sold the fest out of merch early. On Sunday, the GA pit bobbed with a sea of hot pink cowboy hats, as fans from all across the U.S. bopped to Chappell Roan’s set. It was, without a doubt, a fest to remember.

The Theatrical Shop in Valley Junction, which sells costumes, wigs and stage supplies year-round, got an urgent message the night before the artist's Hinterland Music Festival set. They met the need and rented out nun costumes to her bandmates.

Headliners include Vampire Weekend, Hozier, Noah Kahan, Mt. Joy, Chappell Roan and Orville Peck.

It's important to pack well to enjoy your summer festival experience! Take it from IPR's Tony Dehner - who has a few useful tips to share on what to take with you.

IPR's Tony Dehner interviewed Sunny War on her recent stop by the Mission Creek Festival in Iowa City. Beyond being a great person, she also kindly spent some time explaining a whole music subgenre to us.

Despite a rainy, muddy weekend, Hinterland 2023 hit just right. The acts were stellar, the crowds were into it and it was just an all-around great weekend. To celebrate the fest, this year we decided to give virtual awards for our favorite sets.

Hinterland announced its 2023 lineup months earlier than usual. Sam Summers, owner of Hinterland's operator First Fleet Concerts, chatted with IPR Music host Mark Simmet about what to expect at this year's three-day music festival.

With climate change, extreme weather events are becoming increasingly common, and extreme heat is part of the package. Some humans are coming up with creative and sometimes expensive ways to cope, but many more are vulnerable.
