Schellraiser Music Festival recently announced the lineup for its third annual intimate music festival (lovingly referred to as a “micro-music festival”). It’s scheduled to take place from May 30th to June 1st, 2024 at the McGill Pool Park in McGill, Nevada. McGill is about five hours east of Reno and just over three hours from Salt Lake City.
The 2024 lineup includes Ladytron, We Are Scientists, Mercury Rev, The Raveonettes, Sonido Gallo Negro, No Joy, The Jins, Sinkane, The Besnard Lakes, Miki Berenyi Trio, The Paranoyds, Molly Lewis, Plague Vendor, Wild Pink, Chokecherry, Daiistar, Everyone Is Dirty, Deserta, Ritmo Cascabel, Abronia, Soft Science, Mylo Bybee, Utah’s This Valley Glow, and more.
Rudy Herndon, founder of Schellraiser, expressed his excitement for the upcoming festival season. “We are so excited to be bringing more of our favorite bands, like Ladytron, We Are Scientists, and Mercury Rev, to perform in this beautiful mountain desert landscape for the third year in a row,” he said. “Our small-scale event is the perfect mix for obsessive music lovers, outdoor aficionados and adventure travelers who want to experience all that Eastern Nevada has to offer.”
Schellraiser was founded in late 2019 as part of a privately funded effort to revitalize McGill’s historically significant downtown. To accomplish this, the festival has developed the 80-acre Schellraiser campground in the Steptoe Valley. Provo Music Magazine was able to attend the 2023 festival, and boy did we have a good time. Art for this year’s festival is provided by Provo’s own John-Ross Boyce.
