Desdemona. Can't vouch for it, as this is the first year, but the lineup is very promising. A few of the same acts as Intonation. posted by cramer at 10:45 AM on May 30, 2006
Bonnaroo in Tennessee, though I don't know how alternative it's considered to be. posted by joannemerriam at 11:02 AM on May 30, 2006
AthFest Austin City Limits a bit large, but they're branching out ever more into more "alternative" areas. CMJ Music Marathon Since last year has been geared much more towards fans than industry types. LadyFest SummerFest Emergenza ResFest Music The closest this seems to come to you is Los Angeles and it's more on the electronic side, but they might add a date nearer to you in the future.
There's always the UK trio of Reading, Leeds and Glastonbury, if you feel like getting out that way, or Pukkelpop in the Netherlands, if you feel even more out of the way. posted by Captaintripps at 11:29 AM on May 30, 2006
There's also Street Scene in San Diego in August. Moderately alternative. posted by addyct at 11:45 AM on May 30, 2006
There's also the Pitchfork Festival in Chicago. Although Pitchfork curated/sponsored last year's Intonation, this year they have their own. It's kind of confusing. But not too confusing. posted by ruby.aftermath at 11:47 AM on May 30, 2006
