RHCP-Bjork
Phoenix- Stevie Wonder
Pretty Lights-Basement Jaxx
Dropkick Murphys- Ocean Colour Scene
Vampire Weekend-The Knife
scooped a ticket for this. Cheap, local and reasonably solid for what it is. I saw this article that has aerosmith in the title but no other mention. Typo or late announcement? Would rather them than...
good point. Mumford have 4 sold out shows in NY/NJ this month.
My money would be on either Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Postal Service, Mumford and Sons or the Strokes.
final headliner tomorrow
Can I play?
got my tickets! missed out on the early birds but nbd.
'cause going from Chicago to Toronto AND Connecticut to Ottawa both via Southern California is perfectly logical.
your theory is that Fleetwood Mac will travel from Boston to Connecticut via Southern California?
04/18 – Boston, MA @ TD Garden
04/20 – Uncasville, CT @ Mohegan Sun Arena
lol all I was saying is that Beyonce's glasto appearance offers some degree of evidence that the "cliche/choreographed" style of live performance can work in a large festival environment. Again, I...
Neither has Usher.
I think another comparable act would be Beyonce, who successfully headlined Glastonbury. I personally think neither properly fit into the Coachella headliner demographic but both are capable of...
just get an armband.
electric zoo is also on randall's island and they have four stages... one main stage and 3 tents setup like this.

it's basically like Coachella 2011. Would be happy if they got arcade fire to fill that TBA slot.
went to this last year and it was actually really fun. Seems like the upped their budget by a lot this year.
yeah I'm actually pretty deeply pissed off about this. Considering not going at all but I guess the bonus is I'll save $$ on accommodation.
Louis CK drop confirmed then. Shit.
shit, that sucks imo. I liked Asbury, can't imagine anywhere in Manhattan with the same character but hopefully I'll be proven wrong.
just grabbed a pip ticket. Went last year and had a blast, super fun festival.
The Stone Roses sold 150,000 tickets in less than 15 minutes for their first comeback shows. I don't think it's that unreasonable that they'd get the first sub-headline spot. They're certainly bigger...
Absolutely no chance. They'd be billed where Pulp was this year if not higher.
What were we doing before?
Being able to pick any spot you want to see Outkast in the Sahara Vs. Being able to ingest any substance (inc. alcohol and caffeine) all weekend long.
(if you see Outkast you have to be stone-cold...
They had $6 pitchers @ wonder land on Sunday. Being from Boston I don't think I've ever seen a $6 pitcher of anything in my whole life let alone @ a music festival.
Saturday's Portishead was hands-down the single greatest concert experience of my life. Through a combination of waiting from the beginning of Ultramagnetic MC's and a couple of little miracles (one...
This is mine at the moment.

Got 3 day pass. First weekend of each month looking great from here on out
Sept: Electric Zoo
Oct: ATP NJ
Nov: FFF
ha yeah it was a huge relief when I got it back. Bummer that everyone else in my crew usually just relies on me for documentation, so the only thing we had for sat and sun was my phone (didn't work...
posted these in the wrong thread earlier here's a couple I shot before I lost my camera on Friday (got it back Sunday though!)
...
Sorry I didn't mean to jack your thread, and am def. not concerned w/ getting credit, frankly I'd be flattered if anyone confused any of my pics w/ any of yours.

Magnetic Man was so bad, I was so excited to see them too. Only redeeming factor was that I left to go check out crystal castles who were actually way better than I was expecting. Also Caspa's MC...
Hey I actually need a couple of Indian Wells Tennis Garden passes. PM me if you've got a couple.
yeah I totally agree. I'm particularly concerned with Friday night, I can envision a schedule where 4 acts I really want to see are on simultaneously. No danger of that on Saturday.
I've been on the board longer than any of you, and do not have the entitled attitude Coachellean has. I just need one shuttle pass, willing to pay for it.
CB, dude, I think you're alright.
This "best planet in the universe" poll is heavily biased toward our own solar system. I am writing in Gliese 581 c.
I can see this going well.
I could see axwell but I'd be very surprised if Bloody Beetroots did it. Wouldn't shock me to see them in mojave a la major lazer last year.
I actually wouldn't be shocked to see either leftfield or trentemoller close sahara.
one time, at a middle school dance, I leant up against a curtain and the whole thing fell on my dome.
I was 12. I was embarrassed by this.

They headlined Electric Zoo last year and will headline Ultra before coachella.
for some reason headed over there expecting some new material. bummer.
ha no, but only 'cause I'm originally from Ireland. Everyone else in Boston; also no, but only 'cause they're all buried in snow.
Boston reprazent
OR are there way more tickets available than we thought? I guess they're pretty expensive and if you're not a magnum/portishead fan there's no real draw yet. Still perplexing.
I'm really stunned that they are still available. Are we the only ppl in the world so excited for this?
