Christmas Present Gone Bad.

[abcredundant]

Having Kings of Leon headline, is like getting a present on christmas you really dont care for and wish you could return, but unfortunately you dont have the receipt for it.

[rage patton]

But then you get an awesome Death From Above 1979 wrapped in a tiny package and you are so stoked when you open it up that you forget all about that Kings of Leon you got.

everybody must throw something at these dumb fuckers.
a laser pointer straight into their faces would be good too

[concertgoer]

Kol are just one of over 150 acts. Get over it

except they get to play 50% longer than the rest of them. And last.

And odds are, someone else will be playing in the Sahara at the same time.

[nbvcide]

no, odds are Chemical Brothers will be playing the Sahara at the same time

...now if only they don't suck balls like they did with their dj set in 09

Personally, I really enjoyed that set.

Either way, The Chems vs. KoL is a wonderful conflict

[kuuguy]

On the topic of Christmas presents, it would be the greatest gift if Goldenvoice swapped KOL with Kanye.

And the '09 Chems set was torturous enough I had to leave halfway through. I will add however that I saw them perform a live set in SF I believe in '08 and that was incredible. I'm sure this year will be a live set and incredible again.

[DeepFriedSushi]

While this lineup may indicate otherwise, Goldenvoice is not MR.
They won't "force" anyone to see KoL. There will be a great alternative.

[LunaVC]

can someone explain to me why KOL are all of a suddent not a good band?

you guys loved sex on fire!

now you've changed your mind

THIS. Kanye is a performer - why give him a shorter set on Sunday when everyone is worn out. He'd be better in the Jay-Z slot from last year.

Even better would be if KOL was on Saturday because I have so many conflicts that day.

I have personally never liked KOL but this is the music cycle - Become a popular indie band and have the respect of music fans and then you go pop, get played too much, new music doesn't live up to expectations but popularity still lingers and people get annoyed.

[greenbored]

but then you revisit your stocking and realize there are tons of cool presents you never even thought about or asked for

This made me laugh. Isn't that just called a normal headlining slot? If anything, shouldn't it be the Paul McCartney slot?
