It's good, I'm def thinking of going. It doesn't seem amazingly deep for my tastes but enough to keep me busy. Wondering if Bjork and Paul will have la dates.
Looks like a lineup that everyone could enjoy. Nuttin wrong wit dat.
How is Pretty Lights so high on all these festival posters? I must have missed something.

This lineup is very good. I would love to be able to swing this as well as Primavera and Coachella, but those take priority. I hope this means more David Byrne & St Vincent dates because I missed that last year.

I'll stick my neck out there for abuse: for what it's worth, and this is coming from someone who thinks their studio albums are pretty mediocre, Mumford are good live. They're good musicians--never any issues staying together, they don't get out of tune which is impressive for a group that relies on multi-part vocal harmony so much, they play a really energetic, entertaining live show, you never feel like they're phoning it in (unlike many bands people cannonize--anyone catch Ariel Pink's meltdown at Coachella?)...I don't think they've brought anything special to the music table, but they have mass appeal and can actually hold their own on stage, so I'm not surprised at all to see them getting headlining status slots. Doesn't mean they deserve it over other bands, but they won't crash and burn up there.

Lineup so goddamn stronk.
It is absurd how badly Bonnaroo beat the piss out of Coachella this year in terms of the top line acts.
As always, a littering of some nice bands in the undercard, but there is just never enough of the intriguing and unique acts that would actually draw me to the humid hellhole that is Tennessee in the summer.

Nothing on the lineup is making me scream FUCK i must attend this, like Coachella did with getting Violent Femmes, Eric Prydz, Blur. Tons of solid names on this lineup though that the indecision is making me rip my hair out.
Upcoming Shows:
Pitchfork Festival: 7/19 @ Union Park
Mountain Oasis Festival: 10/25-27
Coachella: 4/11-13 @ Empire Polo Fields
That is a really good lineup. Something for everyone.
We're here to play some Mississippi Delta Blues. We're in a horrible depression, and I gotta admit - we're starting to like it.
Whats the over/under on a sell out? Less than a week?
What is it about Paul McCartney has people so excited? He can hardly hit any high notes, nobody really likes any of his new stuff, and his set is predictable. If I hear Live and Let Die one more time I'll puke asparagus spears. Is it because he's a bucket list item?
