I guess there are just too many festivals....

Klein's having a great day

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

Have you ever seen the line ups for this? it's always complete shit every year, not sure what you were expecting.

[TheRotten42]

The year Motley Crue played was pretty good with Matt & Kim, Public Enemy, and for a much lesser part Bush. Bad Religion, Offsping, and BLS would have been fun to have caught last year, but we ended up spending the night at Hollywood Forever that night for the summer camp triple feature. But yes there are usually only 2 or 3 note worthy acts each year.

So is this just a Linkin Park concert this year?

[Ardentbiscuit]

This mom next to me almost passed out when Kim undid her pants to show a tattoo and everyone saw her, well you know.

that was funny as hell. Kim just seems like the type of chick I would want to drink with.

I think the line up might be better now they are partnering with Nederlander....

[Ardentbiscuit]

Line up for 2014 is Monday!

$125 for 2 days or $75 for 1. Wonder if the radius clause spreads to Pomona, would rather see EOTS at the Fox vs Sunset Blvd. Fenech-Soler and Big Freedia would be cool too, I'll wait for the Groupon.

[thepiratepenguin]

Wow, they actually churned out a non-terrible lineup for once. Not quite enough to get me there for the price, but I hope it continues moving in this direction.

[silver06]

If I can get a ticket for less than $50 for one day I'd probably go. Not sure its in the cards for $75 single day though.

[kvnty]

wish Cold War Kids and EOTS were the same day. wah wah waaaah ...

[Corona89]

I'll probably go on Saturday.

[Ardentbiscuit]

This is way better than previous years!

[TheWatcher]

Meh

[Ardentbiscuit]

I saw they added Destructo and a stage curated and MC'D by the Murs (no acts listed yet on this stage).

[Ardentbiscuit]

They announced the line up of that stage..

[icedKeg]

I have a co-worker offering me tickets to this. Can't go Sunday cause of prior obligations but am considering Saturday. Would love to see Jane's Addiction and Cold War Kids are fine.

[ocbruin84]

I think Kitten was added as well.

[Ardentbiscuit]

I think they were added because Kaiser Chiefs cancelled.

[icedKeg]

This was seemingly well run and a lot of fun. Jane's Addiction...first time seeing them and they exceeded expectations. I'm also happy I got to experience the spectacle that is Riff Raff. Really a must see.

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

I saw Riff Raff at Jubilee last year and after a couple songs it got boring and frankly was a little sad to watch. I'm glad he has stepped up his game though.

[Ardentbiscuit]

Minus the Bear cancelled too.

Ended up with free tickets and saw Empire of the Sun. Agreed that this was organized and well run. Small, but it was nice to be able to go into some of the bars and other businesses that stayed open along that stretch of Sunset.

Ate the best pupusas at a stand run by a girl named Delmy. She does the Silverlake, Echo Park and Atwater Village farmers markets. Get on those, they were delicious.

small as in low attendance? I almost went but couldn't quite rally. was the set/production similar to theirs at Coachella? I would have loved to have seen that again on the Strip.
