Aside from headliners, any smaller bands people are looking forward to seeing? I'm hoping for Alt-J or Grimes, I could easily see both of them as either Panhandle closers or mid-day at Twin Peaks

I'm hoping for Mumford to be there. Have yet to see them and they seem like they would be a perfect fit for this festival; either subing or actually headlining.
I agree, it seems likely too.Quote:

Sunday like Death Cab I bet.Quote:

I'd be down for some Kanye though!
Bruce Springsteen, Green Day, Kanye West, Phoenix, Mumford & Sons, Yeah Yeah Yeahs
I can definitely see OSL being close to this in 2013.
^doesnt sound too great. especially considering last year had neil young, sigur ros, stevie wonder,etc...
Hoping for the YYY's and The LumineersQuote:

Dare to dream.
If Bruce is there, I would think he would get the Phish treatment and have a double headliner set or at least 3 hours.
If Tom Waits is there, Bmack is there.
I'd think they'd go younger Saturday...and Green Day does seem like a reasonable guess.Quote:

Springsteen's third trip thru the bay area in 16 months aint happening. Not sure he's ever done 3 trips through a region in California on a single tour.
As for Clapton, i've actually fallen asleep at one of his shows. Is he really a desirable headliner? Though the 121212 performance was good.
What about McCartney? Isn't he heavily rumored for Bonnaroo?
You gotta figure with the extra 10,000 tickets per day they have to sell this year they need to keep it strong at the top to bring in the casual music fans.
Because you somehow manage to fall asleep makes him not a desirable headliner for others? One of the best shows I've ever seen. Music wise of course because he doesn't move and nothing more then a thanks as far as crowd interaction. Either way Clapton won't be there. Has he even played any festivals that wasn't crossroads recently?Quote:

McCartney would be a great headliner! you think OSL can afford him?Quote:

He did just play Hardly Strictly this year though. That probably eliminates him.Quote:

You might be right, but has there been a band that has played at OSL the year after they played at HSB? I don't think so but I'm not going to spend an hour double checking. They definitely have us guessing this year.Quote:

They're called Arcade Fire, the Black Keys, Muse, Gorillaz, Phoenix (remains to be seen I suppose), Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and within a few years acts like Frank Ocean, Grizzly Bear, etc. They're out there, they are draws, but we don't have the homogenized culture of decades past where people unanimously agree on what is good. The fact that a band like Arcade Fire can headline a festival is more impressive than someone like Paul McCartney in my eyes.
