I liked this thread:

I guess we could start a new one now though.
hey everyone. here is some rumours that are surrounding the festival so here we go:
announcement: sometime in april.. (apparently they are waiting for the state budget to be finalized so they can negotiate the final fees to the park. for sure the city wants it back)
headliners they are going for as top priority:
Pearl Jam-friday
Bruce Springsteen-saturday
The Dead/Phish-Sunday
other top bands they are interested in:
Santana
Faith No More
Beastie Boys
The White Stripes
this is basic rumored stuff from radio people in the bay area so ill keep digging to see if anything sticks.. but its nice to know it looks like its back and they will improve from last year with alot of additions since last year went well financially....
strictly rumoured
sword fight!
I wonder how much of festival whores the Beastie Boys are gonna be.
Upcoming Shows:
Pitchfork Festival: 7/19 @ Union Park
Mountain Oasis Festival: 10/25-27
My Morning Jacket and the Flaming Lips are my bets.
Tommmmmmy OSL is a must. I hope they figure out some of the issues with the first one, such as sound...but besides the fest there is a whole weekend livin' it up in SF, eating at good restaurants, and plus I have a lot of friends there so housing is free.
I agree.....the board feels like its been ruined since that thread took off
I'm a reasonable man, get off my case.
im with you.. that other thread took a life of its own...... it was pretty fucking nuts!
this thread will only have the initial rumor from me then hopefully everyone will just post articles and other info regarding the osl that somewhat legit..
the info i got came from a radio exec im friends with for years so he is cool enough to say that is what he is heariing.. i just want the festival back. i could only afford saturday last year and although the layout was a but rough, it had alot of positives and a great party vibe so i think they wil improve on it..
this thread wil be basic... just waiting for some more info....
Scoop49er is so misunderstood.........
*sigh*
tommy,
we must smoke a bowl at bonnaroo my friend....
I miss scoop's Killers avatar![]()

Brilliant retort. I'm trilled this is starting up again.
Last year, I went to Coachella, Primavera, Radiohead 2x, Nick Cave 2x and a bunch of other shows and went to Prague, Barcelona, Stuttgart & Florence. I own a house and have 2 cars.
If you are clever with your money, you can make it go a long, long way. Most people though prefer $4 coffees and blowing $90 a month on cable.
Priorities people!
