The WFUV Feastival Returns For 2017

WFUV (90.7 FM/wfuv.org) continues its annual tradition of a marathon of exclusive live performances over the Thanksgiving holiday. Starting at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, November 22 and continuing on Thursday, November 23 and Friday November 24, the WFUV Thanksgiving Feastival will air over 25 hours of FUV Live concerts recorded over the past year from venues both small and large, from Rockwood Music Hall to Forest Hills Stadium.

The Feastival kicks off Wednesday at 6 p.m. with a Little Steven FUV Live session, Lo Moon at Rough Trade NYC and My Morning Jacket at Forest Hills Stadium. The second day of the Feastival begins at 10 a.m. and will include Laura Marling (at Rockwood Music Hall), The Lone Bellow (at Rockwood Music Hall), Dan Auerbach (at Electric Lady Studios), John Prine (at the Newport Folk Festival), The War on Drugs (at Electric Lady Studios), Josh Ritter (at Gibson New York Showroom), and more between 10 a.m. and midnight, including the ritual playing of "Alice's Restaurant" by Arlo Guthrie at noon.

On Friday, the Feastival continues from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., with sets from Lake Street Dive (at BRIC Celebrate Brooklyn! Festival), The Shins (BRIC Celebrate Brooklyn! Festival) and Kurt Vile & The Violators (at Solid Sound Festival). The Feastival then resumes from 6 p.m. to midnight with performances including sets from some of this year's Holiday Cheer for FUV lineup - Randy Newman (at Electric Lady Studios) and Jeff Tweedy (with his band Wilco at the Newport Folk Festival) - as well as The xx (at Forest Hills Stadium), Grizzly Bear (at Electric Lady Studios) and Strand of Oaks (at Rockwood Music Hall) "This year's Feastival is bigger and better than ever," said WFUV Program Director Rita Houston. "It reflects not only the quality of our in-studio performances, but our partnerships with venues and festivals throughout New York City. It's pretty amazing that we can bring our listeners everyone from Randy Newman at Electric Lady Studios to My Morning Jacket at Forest Hills Stadium."
