#MusicMonday Wrap-up: Sept. 24
Local
Severe storms on Friday caused Thrival Music X Arts to temporarily shut down for hours. As a result, Matt and Kim, along with a few other opening acts were cut, and headliner Dillion Francis performed an abbreviated set. Those who came for Matt and Kim were a bit disgruntled.
Refunds? @mattandkim are the only reason I bought a ticket.

I originally bought my early bird ticket because of @mattandkim but when Dillon was announced it was quite the surprise and a bonus ... I’m happy because I saw Dillon, but also disappointed I didn’t see the band i originally paid to see before any announcements 😕

But those who stayed through the storm were treated to an amazing set from Dillion Francis, who performed a tribute to Mac Miller.
It rained. It stormed. But Pittsburgh finished strong. Thank you to everyone who stuck it out tonight and to @DILLONFRANCIS for your tribute to our own @MacMiller #thrivalfestival

How much do you love “Africa” by Toto? Enough to listen to it for an entire night? Exchange nightclub in the UK announced that on November 30, the venue will play the popular track on repeat for an entire night to raise funds for charity.
Some love the idea.
Which song could you happily hear on loop? https://t.co/u0Gb7Mgxuz

Don't you hate it when clubs play songs that aren't Africa by Toto? https://t.co/TmjWqlxSmv pic.twitter.com/ThPJnyayKo

While others are not fans ...

While others liked the idea, they were not impressed with the delivery.
Good idea but trash😷😷

So happy about this, my choice all the way! Well done guys ♥️♥️

Congratulations @wolfalicemusic Amazing news! Have a blast @RockingTheDaisy see you in Cape Town #CapeTown #SouthAfrica #mercuryprize2018 #winners

Well done wolf Alice great band, and what a voice. Happy days👍
— Nigel (@notnuhniggie) September 21, 2018
Even though the congratulations rolled in, many were upset about the choice.
I’m sure as a wolf Alice fan you are pleased that they won, but as someone who is familiar with the nature of the mercury prize historically, I can tell you this record does not fit the bill
— Michael Hunter (@Michael4Ubabe) September 21, 2018
wow. congrats to them but i think this was a huge blunder. @JorjaSmith, archy, @ArcticMonkeys were all far more deserving in my eyes. don't see the logic here.
— Adam Ouriel (@adamouriel) September 20, 2018
Great band. Seen them a few times. Still ignoring rock and metal tho ? Same old same old ay mercury
