I'm really excited to hear that The Jesus and Mary Chain will be there. This year's lineup is great. I can't wait to go.

RAAAAAAGGGGEEEE!

the lineup is so badass ... as it is every year. i should try to go someday, but it is so damn far in the middle of nowhere

is this the real lineup? id go this year if it was

You should go. It's well worth it. I'll be there all 3 days. I wish Smashing Pumpkins would have been added to the lineup, but oh well.

I just want to go Sunday. Do I have to buy tickets for all three nights? If I don't get tickets when they go on sale, is this a hard ticket to score?

there is a rumor the Smashing Pumpkins and The Police are performing. I think the presale word is "Roxanne"

Tickets aren't hard to score at all. But don't wait 'till last minute. I remember 3 years ago I waited last minute and they sold out. I had a hard time finding tickets for the day that Radiohead played. Single day passes are available, but I think you get a small discount if you purchase the 3 day pass.

Bjork

holy shit, so rad!

where's all the black metal?

Norway!

not anymore my friend

now it's California

Sunshine and Black Metal, I gotta check out this California place.

Good God, I wish I could go to this...

Does Cornelius have a new album out?
If he's playing anywhere in a 150-mile radius, I'm goin'....

it's easy to hate all the hippies

Jarvis Cocker, Gogol Bordello, The Good The Bad And The Queen, LCD Soundsystem, Regina Spektor, Hot Chip, MSTRKRFT, Peter Bjorn and John, Fratellis, Air, CSS...

you bastards

jesus and mary chain would be awesome and jarvis too.

I have attended every year, including the first year where it was pure pleasure to walk up to uncrwoded stages and see the likes of SuperFurry Animals midday and be able to sit in the sun and still see the stage right there.

After years of Euro fest, this can't be beat!

Not into the headliners, luckilly, but Arctic Monkeys, Jarvis, Sonic Youth, We are scientists, Silversun Pickups, Arcade Fire, Travis, Kings of Leon, LCD, Blonde Readhead, PB and J, Fratellis, Cribs, Pop Levi, Air, Kaiser CHiefs, Placebo, Soulwax, Lily Allen, Kooks, CSS, Klaxons, Tapes n Tapes, Teddy Bears and Lupe are all calling my name.

Not an amazing line-up, but still pretty damn good for 3 days of fun and temps.

mm, Hot Chip too, and Kings of Leon, Peaches, SPARKLEHORSE - woah - killa line-up!

I'd just like to see Richie Hawtin! Great lineups.

for all you rage fans...it's the o.g. rage lineup too...with zac.

does willie nelson seem out of place? He's awesome but i just don't think coachella when I think willie. rage is pretty bad ass too

Interesting. As with most of these festivals, a lot of it is stuff I'm not much interested in, but this seems to have a higher percentage of interesting artists (scattered among the nuevo-hipster acts) than many similar fests.

For me, the downside is that I've seen most of the groups I'm interested in in small venues in the past, so it might not be as exciting watching them struggle with the "fill the massive stage" problem.

JAMC and Happy Mondays might be good if they can hold it together long enough to get through a set, and Sonic Youth, New Pornographers, and Tilly and the Wall are always fun. I'd also be interested in seeing Peeping Tom, Silversun Pickups, Sparklehorse, and Jarvis Cocker (none of whom I've seen yet). Good to see Willie Nelson and Roky Erickson in there, but as far as I can tell jazz doesn't fall under the heading of "music and arts", which is a shame.

Oh yeah - and Sonic Youth billed lower than Interpol and the Arctic Monkeys? What the fuck is up with that?
