sorry. on a coachella hangover right now!!!

[BlackSwan]

oh, and since there is a new thread let's get this out of the way... where is the electronic music or djs they mentioned in the press release?

thanks suprefan!

i think they will have all those acts play the treasure island festival. so its a good thing for 2 different fests but sucks for the outside lands cuz it would be nice to see a few.

doesn't change the fact that in their press release it says...

"With five main performance stages, the music programming will represent a wide range of genres, including rock, blues, reggae, jazz, hip-hop, world, soul, Latin and electronic music. From singer-songwriters to roots acts, rock bands and DJs, major national headliners will perform alongside exceptional emerging talent, making the event a substantial celebration of the established and the cutting edge."

why say it if you are no going to deliver. dick move.

[bballarl]

This was only the first round of additions.

[woogie846]

Even though Friday is a short day, it sounds awesome.

[suprefan]

They need to add like 3 or 4 more to friday to make it justifiable in price. With only 10 acts, and possibly seeing like 5 of them only, that kinda sucks. Yes RH is worth about $70 of the $100, but come on...

[chiapet]

Give it time guys, it's still almost 4 months away. It's SF, there will be electronic acts.

[kroqken]

I only really like the Friday lineup, I am not thrilled by eithere Saturday's or Sunday's.

[woogie846]

With single day tickets now, I might just have to skip Sunday to hightail it back to the Bowl for another Radiohead show.

[Wheres the beef?]

Isnt there a huge thread about this already? What makes this Official?

sunday doesnt have alot for me to want to spend another 85 bucks on tickets but fri and sat for sure. sun might be a chill out day....

[fiyahhh!]

cuz the other one had a ton of ramblings and its nice to get back to the lineup only stuff for now:

[ThomThom]

[Cdubby]

[fiyahhh!]

if you're in a jack sparrow costume, then it must be wednesday.

[BlackSwan]

I had pizza today too. 4 slices... all free, my favorite kind of pizza.

[Goodtoknow]

i want pizza for dinner now ...:/

[ThomThom]

I had pepperoni & mushroom pizza with crushed red pepper.

[BlackSwan]

I had one pesto, wait two pesto and then one with mushrooms and spinich and a fourth with eggplant.

[tubescape]

"you say potato" slice from Escape from NY pizza ftw. When you all come to town for this festival, try this place out and try out the slice I mentioned. Roasted potatoes & roasted garlic over pesto and cheese.

Getting pretty excited for this festival even though its several months away. Friday looks to be a campout at the main stage. Saturday will offer a little bit more chill time, and Sunday will be just a day to take it all in, stroll the park and really enjoy it all.

[BrettShipes]

I like Zachary's Pizza in Berkeley...

I'm also going to Outside Lands and look forward to friday and saturday...

If they add Cake and Flaming Lips to Sunday I'll be happy. Or maybe they can just get Fatboy Slim to play against JJ...

And then we'll all get Zachary's when it's over.
