New Colossus '26 Tuesday Recap ft. Star's Revenge, Ski Club, and Meskerem Mees
This year’s New Colossus Festival was a whirlwind. We laughed, we cried, and we spent way too much money on frozen margaritas (thank you, Pianos). But more than anything, we made many new friends, and experienced a ton of incredible shows.
Our Tuesday (Day 1) recap features some of our favorites; including MAGDA, Ski Club, Sexverbot, Run Remedy, Star’s Revenge, and many more. We highly recommend keeping up with each artist via their Instagram links, listed below.
