Treasure Island Music Festival 2012

[xanman86]

Hopefully Grizzly Bear will be ready to tour around this show

How does Bon Iver fit into this fest? Their site says the tour only goes until late September, could they possibly a Sunday headliner or are they too small?

[guedita]

Bon Iver would be the Sunday headliner for sure.

And, that would be AWESOME.

[Vasoline Groove]

John Talabot and School of Seven Bells will be at Filter's Culture Collide in LA, which takes place October 4-7th. (hat tip to fikus in the mnml-tech thread)

I would be elated if they popped up on TI's lineup. Those 2 alone would be enough to ensure my attendance.

I could see of Montreal being at TI as well.

[Ross1492]

I once again have unjustifiably high hopes for this festival.

[zachyd]

Wait for it. Fall tour news coming soon.

That'd be one of the highlights of my year. Although Treasure Island would be an awesome venue for them. They'd definitely headline too.

Would Orbital be too much of a reach for TI?

[suprefan]

Hopefully Grizzly Bear will be ready to tour around this show

Theyre playing Pygmallion Festival in Illinois in the fall....

[Egull]

How bout The xx as a possible headliner?

Any hint of US dates in the fall after euro fest appearances this summer?

I have been told that they will be there from a very reliable source.

[Ross1492]

Yes! Jamie xx said something about club/dance music influencing the new album so I assume they'll headline saturday if this pans out.

[Ross1492]

Would Orbital be too much of a reach for TI?

If they snag The xx I doubt that leaves sufficient funds for Orbital on the same day.

[Ross1492]

Hoping we see minimal Coachella 2012 acts.

[stochasticism]

This year's lineup will be announced early/mid summer. Get excited!

Not that that tells us anything that we didn't already know.

[andyforpeace]

The xx would not be the headliners. If they could afford deadmau5 and LCD soundsystem. They can get the xx and aphex twin : )

[Ross1492]

Guess I figured The xx as a top-3-liner at coachella the next go round and therefore a sensible TI headliner. Could be way off as I'm pretty guff at accurately gauging popular appeal.

Think someone recently posted something in the Aphex thread along the lines of "no US dates in 2012 per management".

But will take Underworld! Though that's prob just as unlikely.

[andyforpeace]

I would think the xx would fit somewhere in line with cut copy/beach house's billing. I understand that empire of the sun only had one album and headlined, but they put on one hell of a show.

[Ross1492]

Well, if they do get The xx, would love a lazy Jamie xx booking for good measure.

[fikus222]

I'd feel underwhelmed if The xx were to headline. And I like them too.

I'd also like to see a set by Jamie xx. Night show!

[Ross1492]

Really? I'd much prefer that to a Coachella retread. And I like M83.

I don't think this fest is capable of going much bigger w/ respect to Sat. headliners. And the pool of potentials is pretty tiny.

[luckyface]

The xx as a headliner at TI or a top 3 at Coachella?? Where the fuck have I been? When did the xx get that popular?

Dreamers can dream right? : )

The XX sold out the Hollywood Palladium a couple weeks before the show. I mean that is about 4500 tickets, and they had already done 3 shows before that in June of that year. I'd say they are a subheadliner at Coachella, and a headliner for Treasure Island(Empire of the Sun did it last year).

But don't they only have one album that's about 40 minutes? How are they going to fill a headliner's time slot? Do covers for half the set?

[luckyface]

That and just about every song sounds the same: meandering back and forth between the male and female voice. I'm really surprised they are supposedly this big.

[concertgoer]

Well they have a new album coming out this year so.............

[Ross1492]

Right. Giving them more material to work with than EOTS, last year's headliner (at the time seemingly on year 5 of touring the same fucking show).

[CrystalCastlesFreak]

God I hope The XX don't headline, and I love those guys. Chemical Brothers please

[shakermaker113]

that was so last year.

[frizzlefry]

^ Unfortunately yes, buy Don't Think and rent a movie theater

[xanman86]

Wow you actually provided useful information! WOOT! I can't wait to see them again, at Coachella some ass with a huge cowboy hat made out of a Coors light box was in front of me and it kind of cheapened the experience a bit.

If not at TI, I hope they end up at the Fox Theater.

Is it just me or was "Intro" from the self titled album the main song of the Olympics one year?
