tomorrow we'll know for sure

[Sushov23]

FUCKING WHACK

[Ritestyl]

thats what the internets said

[Young blood]

boooooooorrrrrriiiiinnnnnngggggggggg.

[Young blood]

Really though, it could be cool if the get good headliners.

[chiapet]

Not a reason to go to Michigan

[Sushov23]

There is NEVER a good reason to go to MICHIGAN

[Ritestyl]

hey, it might be sweet

[chiapet]

Hey, I even like Detroit. Michigan just isn't much of a destination.

[psychic friend]

Ritestyl means well.

just saying

[menikmati]

oh man Primus, Mars Volta, and DMB...can't wait! Actually, nevermind, I can.

[luckyface]

Ok so you weren't bullshitting. Nice find.

[Ritestyl]

i was so sure it wasn't going to have Jack Johnson... and instead... John Mayer...

[Ritestyl]

hmm...

"Rothbury's performance lineup has a decidedly earthy focus, with its hippie- and jam band-leaning roster reminiscent of early Bonnaroo bills."

[boarderwoozel3]

Um..... how about no?

[Ritestyl]

i didn't mean hmm in a good way

[paulb]

"More than 70 artists and bands -- including the Dave Matthews Band, Widespread Panic, John Mayer, 311, Modest Mouse, Snoop Dogg and Primus"

At the moment, why did you waste our time hyping this? Gogol Bordello and Crystal Method are probably the best acts playing...not worth a trip to Michigan though.

[menikmati]

wow, another langerado, big deal...

[Boourns]

Langerado actually has a good headliner.

pf = dmb, ds iacs!!!

[Ardentbiscuit]

On the flipside, the jam fans are going bonkers with excitement...

Scroll down for the comments, one poster even said they blew their load on the keyboard from excitement.

[chiapet]

The lineup isn't bad for a festival in the midwest though. I mean, compare and contrast to that festival STP is playing in Columbus. I bet this will get "local" people - WI, MI, OH, IL, IN.

[Ardentbiscuit]

The press releases, news sites (billboard, etc.), the actual event site all have the same artist count and under the list on the event website it says, "And more to be announced".

But seriously, thank you for posting this Ritestyle. Seeing weak lineups like this makes me feel a lot better about Coachella.

[Ardentbiscuit]

I like the whole concept of being environmentally conscious...

And there are some really good acts in there...

But this type of festival isn't for everyone...

[vinylmartyr]

Holy Bonnaroo!

[woogie846]

If they nixed John Mayer, Dave Matthews Band, and 311, it would be a decent line up.

[Sonicifyouwantit]

HEY, I though secret machines broke up...
