AWS re:Invent re:Play pre:Spoilers

Via some re:Invent promo materials, the musicians playing at the re:Play party, except for the headliner, have been announced! I was waffling on attending re:Play, as the conference week is intensely exhausting, but the Linda Lindas are an amazing punk band and it's worth going just to hear them (but note that none of the band meet the age requirement of 21 to attend re:Play!)

Two stages will rock with seven acts throughout the night. Our Live Stage will be headlined by Grammy-winning band Portugal. The Man and will feature performances by The Linda Lindas, Colony House, and King Youngblood. Over on our Main Stage, the re:Play All-Stars will return to kick us off, followed by Grammy-nominated DJ A-Trak before our DJ headliner closes out the party. Can you guess who will take the stage as our main headliner this year?

Past re:Play headline acts that I recall vividly are Martin Garrix (2022, 2016), Thievery Corporation (2022, 2018), Zedd (2021, 2015), Jen Lasher (several years--not the headliner, but my favorite out of these DJs), Skrillex (2018, 2014), deadmau5 (2013). I'm not much of an EDM fan but still enjoy the events, so Thievery Corp was particularly fun to see perform.

Really looking forward to the Linda Lindas this year, and Portugal.The Man also is sounding good (you probably know their one big song). Oh yeah, and the rest of the conference should be a blast as well. I will be speaking this year at an AWS Dev Chat, Thursday Nov 30, 1:30 PM, on the expo floor, next to the AWS Developer Lounge and Modern Apps area!

See you all next month in Las Vegas--and don't forget the #1 re:Invent tip--avoid walking through the smoky casino floors!
