Way better than last year (minus fri/sat headliners)
Best lineup since 08... even with the underwhelming headliners. The festival is back on the right track for sure.

I am really really ridiculously excited for Blur and The Stone Roses. The other headliners are pretty weak, but the undercard is fucking top notch. That Violent Femmes reunion, in particular, came out of left field.
Dude!!! Trent Reznor, Maynard, Ian from the Stone Roses, Beach House, the XX, Passion Pit, Modest Mouse, BLUR!!, Sigur Ros!!, New Fucking Order! Grizzly Bear, Nick Cave!! AMAZING FUCKING LINE UP!!!!!
Best lineup in years. The AF, AC, BE, BSS thing was pretty cool but this lineup is some serious business.
Not to sound like a broken record, but yes... best lineup in years. I don't care if Saturday and Sunday has weak headliners, it just means that I can get out of the parking lot quicker![]()
"The Future is Unwritten"
This lineup is fucking awesome.
The amount of people i'm friends with on Facebook who said "WHO THE HELL ARE BLUR AND THE STONE ROSES" is insane. I'd guess 25 people posted that exact status.
But ya, weak/weird headliners and billing at the top, but overall very solid undercard.

At first - I was PISSED. But now that I've looked past Phoenix and RHCP, I'm stoked to be a music fan.
But, where's the folk? usually there's at least a little folk - I've seen Gillian Welch, Nickel Creek, Trampled By Turtles at Coachella...maybe I'm missing something, but they don't seem to have much this time around.
Janelle Monae, Spiritualized, Loco Dice, Cloud Nothings, Paul Kalkbrenner, Blur, El-P, Kurt Vile, Nick Cave, Sigur Ros, Moby, Grizzly Bear, The Shouting Matches, Four Tet, Modest Mouse, Japandroids, Savages, Jessie Ware, Booka Shade.
I cant really be the only one excited for RHCP? Am I? I mean, if you don't hop festivals around the country when else will you get a chance to see them?
FUCKING INTENSE. RHCP can go fuck themselves. Everyday is fully stacked, to say the least. A little choked there's no The Knife, but i'll get over it.

Biggest disappointment is the massive amount of conflicts. I need this to start this weekend.
Underwhelming headliners for sure...but still excited to see most of them, and the undercard is just fucking phenomenal.
Friday: Blur, Modest Mouse, Lou Reed, Passion Pit, Of Monsters & Men, Divine Fits Japanroids, Alt-J, Jake Bugg, Skinny Lister, FOALS
Saturday: Phoenix, The Postal Service, Dropkick Murphys, Two Door Cinema Club, Franz Ferdinand, Violent Femmes, SMD, Allen Stone, Ben Howard, Vintage Trouble, Reignwolf
Sunday: RHCP, Vampire Weekend, The Faint, Tanlines, Rodriguez, Pretty Lights, La Roux, Tame Impala, Father John Misty, Hanni El Khatib
Props GV for bringing Jake Bugg in. I think he's only 16 or 17. Very dylanesque.
Hella Stacked. I just don't get how they couldn't get a real headliner considering Pearl Jam, The Rolling Stones, Depeche Mode, Tool, Neil Young, Eminem, Black Sabbath were all available
This is one of the strongest undercards I have ever seen. Props to GV. So much amazing punk
