So Moogfest and what-the-fuck-ever in Helsinki easily beat the lineups of Coachella, Sasquatch, Roo, Outside Lands, Lolla...
Oh and Primavera.

Ok, this festival completely wins everything: Hopefully AC and NMH are both heading down to New Orleans the following weekend!

It's a good thing I love the location and production of Coachella enough to blindly buy another pass for 2014, but if they put out another fucking lineup sans some of the gets that you would THINK they should be able to pull off, I'm going to definitely consider abandoning it for a new "destination" festival.

Daaaaaaaaaamn that lineup is incredible. And that's not even a full announcement yet! That is packed with so much that I've been obsessed with over the last year.

Am I missing something about that Mountain Oasis lineup? Aside from NMH there isn't much to lose your shit about. NIN is playing lots of other fests this year (and I've already seen them twice anyway), Bassnectar, PL and HTDA were at Coachella, AC is at other fests too.
It might be unfair to compare Coachella and Bonaroo to this fest because of the size difference, but there's no way this lineup beats either of them.

Don't forget Gary Numan, The Bug, and Bosnian Rainbows. Three names I haven't seen anywhere else this year.
It's a matter of uniqueness and concentration for me. No throwaway acts (coughLumineerscough), all killer no filler, and totally unlike what any other festival is offering.

There are just so many bands this year that I consider lazy bookings, like The Lumineers, Vampire Weekend, Marklemore, Phoenix...not that those aren't good shows, they're just not inspired bookings.

Coachella at least had a hefty dose of creativity. Nick Cave and Grinderman, Violent Femmes, Dead Can Dance, Moby, Blur/Stone Roses - those were creative and made Coachella great in spite of generic shit most everywhere else. Most American fests don't even have that level of creativity, just throw shit against a wall and see how many tickets sell.

Word. That Tim Hecker curated night is going to get weeeeeeeeird. I'm probably going to have a panic attack.

I'm in to that lineup because almost every artist listed is someone who I would absolutely love to see. Most festivals have a good chunk of names I don't know (which usually ends up being a good thing) or names that I just plain don't like, but that poster is fantastically suited to my musical tastes.

No throwaway acts (coughLumineerscough), all killer no filler, and totally unlike what any other festival is offering. I don't know The Bug, I had no idea Gary Numan was still around and my knowledge of Bosnian Rainbows is pretty limited. As far as I'm concerned Bassnectar and PL are lazy bookings since they are everywhere always and neither really do much for me live. It will be interesting so see how this fills out. I would totally go if this was an hour from where I live, but I'm not about to start checking plane ticket prices.
