To me…this lineup looks fantastic. Hell, I’d go for Bjork, Beastie Boys, and The Slip alone — but every other band is a bonus and there are plenty of other must-see’s on this bill. Fantastic, I say!

I’m personally stoked on the line-up and happy that the organizers added some diversity … yeah so maybe this will draw a different crowd, and I can only see this happening to the better – people who enjoy different genres of really good music and love to dance – now that’s love. Bjoerk, Michael Franti & Spearhead, Manu Chao, M.I.A., Ozomatli, Mix Master Mike, Blackalicious … I’m so glad there’s more than Indie Rock … it’s good, just the performers mentioned above got a bunch more flavour!!!! Excited to Be There!!!

There are a lot of names I don’t know also..but am willing to check out, and maybe learn they are amazing..isn’t that the beauty of festivals, instead of one-headliner concerts?

um… last year they had alot of untapped talent…. or i guess bands that were still building a fan base… i don’t like the headliners this year… maybe next year will be better

If you don’t like the lineup, don’t go and don’t bitch. There are wonderful bands playing. If you simply opened your mind and expanded your musical repertoire beyond Metallica and Madonna, then you may find something you really like. Also, music is about expansion. It is created to make our simple lives as humans more bearable and understandable. That is why I cannot comprehend the thrashing most people are giving this year’s fest. I’ll be there in the front row jumpin up and down to the BBoy trance and you’ll be sitting at home beating something that should be left alone and singing to Michael Jackson. Thanks for the extra elbow room!

I would be lying if I said I wasnt dissapointed in this years line up last year and the year before were the best two festivals I have ever been to and I’ve been to cochella and bonnoroo. I just wish the line up had a bit more ummphh to get people excited maybe Andrew Bird, Of Montreal, brig bloc party back they cant be that hard to get there opening for f***en panic at the disco, love to see sufjan come back, and if you were considering any big names THE STROKES and SHOUT OUT LOUDS would probably make it as good as if not better then last year

aw man, hoping for some more, but i’m still exited.

i am quite dissapointed. i wanted some more big names like sufjan, beck, flamming lips etc. To the people that have gone every year not everyone can afford to go every year so we like to see big names for the times we can go. That said I have checked out some of the smaller bands and some are sweet ghostland observatory,grizzly bear, lonely dear, the thermals, minus the bear and aqueduct are all good. Add in some of the others i am looking forward to. Bjork, arcade fire, interpol, maybe bboys (depends what they play), spoon, the hold steady, tokyo police club. still hoping for bigger names. I also heard cold war kids are going to be there? is this true?
