cryptique Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Wow. Nothing there that's must-see for me. I suppose I should see Waters sometime, but I'm not going to do it in a festival setting. Aside from Waters, none of the headliners interest me in the slightest ... except, just from the standpoint of curiosity: Portishead. Really? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
insideoutoflove Posted January 22, 2008 Author Share Posted January 22, 2008 none of the headliners spark any interest (the verve? wtf?), but i can count 15 or so bands that i wouldnt mind seeing..considering im out in cali now, i figure its an easy trip and would be as good a way as any to spend a weekend. then again, depends on prices..how much did tickets go for last year?

Sir Stewart Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 So, Kim's back to The Breeders now, huh? http://www.noaloha.com/breeders/index.php?page=9 Apparently. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
solace Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 So, Kim's back to The Breeders now, huh? http://www.noaloha.com/breeders/index.php?page=9 Apparently. yep, new album out in April i believe. The Pixies, other than possible future live shows (doubtful) are once again laid to rest, not surprisingly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

auctioneer69 Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Wow..I went last year and had made some preliminary plans to go this year but what a terrible line-up. Jack Johnson, Rogers Waters, The Verve, Death Cab for Cutie all have no right being anywhere near a main stage. Portishead I just can't see as a mainstage act. Most of the fun is seeing all the smaller bands and at first glance I am disappointed that while there's a lot of good dance stuff unlike last year there's isn't that much up and coming talent from over the pond. Last year you could see the Fratelli's, the Arctic Monkeys, Amy Winehouse, Lily Allen, The Kaiser Chiefs, Jarvis Cocker, the Cribs etc. Unless you count Madness in that category. On the mainstage last year you had the reformation of the JAMC on Friday night, the Arcade Fire on Saturday night and the Roots on Sunday night. But the headliners - seriously - W.T.F? Where is REM who release a new album in April or maybe Franz Ferdinand or a Beck or dare I say it, Radiohead. Given that Goldenvoice are launching a headlining festival in New Jersey in August my guess is they signed all the best contracts for that event. Given that this is the premiere music festival in the most populous state in the Union makes the realisation that the headliners stink even worse. I really thought there was a good shot that Radiohead, REM and Wilco would all play. Bummer... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That is the only year I went to - they don't have it on the official line-up, but I also saw Beck, Kool Keith, and MF Doom on Saturday. Beck played an impromptu show at a small stage at 2pm and Kool Keith and MF Doom played after Radiohead on a nearby stage. I am pissed I missed The Black Keys...oh well - I plan on catching them at First Ave this spring. Great lineup indeed!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sureshot Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Wow...that is a crappy lineup. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
quarter23cd Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I used to listen to Portishead all the time in college in a "its late and I have studying to do" kind of way. Good stuff, but I guess I don't see 'em getting the party started for the festival crowd. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Duck-Billed Catechist Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Waters is the most innovative live artist in rock history. This is definitely a "must see". Far, far superior to last year.lol@essox Quote Link to post Share on other sites

trevor Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 yeah, this lineup is pretty lame. i actually LOLed when i saw jack johnson as a headliner...i mean, i like him as much as the next guy, i've even seen him live, but there's no way the guy should be headlining a fest such as this one.
