Hot off the heels of the Coachella 2020 lineup release, music fans everywhere are rejoicing about their favorite bands taking the stage in the desert. But for some obscure bands, the ones which you think you’ve heard but haven’t actually listened to any of their music, this is their chance to prove to the world that they actually exist.
We’ve assembled a bunch of questions to test your knowledge of whether these are real bands or simply fake names we threw together to fool you. Some band names are so weird that they must be fake, but they’re actually real…and on the other hand, some band names are so bad that they must be made-up, but surprisingly not!
This is not only a test of your music knowledge, but of your common sense and gullibility! If you make any mistakes, go back and see which answers you missed, and don’t forget to share your results with friends!
Mic check over. It’s time to play!
