Sallie Ford and the Sound Outside and Off! have been added. Both are awesome live. The lineup is still a bit disappointing. I have very little interest in seeing Explosions in the Sky, Band of Horses, or Iron & Wine again, but I guess I'll go.

I sure picked a bad year to convince myself to buy VIP prior to the lineup being announced. In the years past, I've bought the wristband to get me into the shows that won't sell out, and bought a hard ticket to the shows I couldn't miss (that would sell out). I ended up spending less than the cost of the VIP pass, but not by much. Having a ticket that guaranteed me entrance to Major Lazer last year was worth the extra $20, so I could catch Ted Leo at the Crystal Ballroom, and some no name at the Ash Street Saloon, then walk past the huge line of people waiting to get in for Major Lazer. If you aren't interested in the openers, it really is nice to wander around downtown and see other acts instead.
The VIP pass is over $50 more expensive this year though, so I'll have to wait until the schedule comes out to see how much bouncing around I need to do.
Anyone else attending this year? Sounds like Gramma/Stormy are in for at least a day, and Geno goes to every show. Even if I don't do the VIP, I'll be out ever night of the festival. There are enough local acts I would like seeing again.

It's not 100% that I'm going, due to my money problems. I'm gonna try to get a wristband though. I am NOT missing Brand fucking New though. I've been waiting so long to see them.

I'll probably just buy individual tickets for Olivia Tremor Control and the Butthole Surfers, and maybe Sebadoh. That lineup is seriously for shit.

You can pick up a pass at Jackpot Records. Last year I saw Washed Out, Phantogram, Ra Ra Riot, the Black Lips, and Surfer Blood, all for what would have been free had I not purchased the wristband. The first day of the festival, I showed up early to wait in line, guaranteeing I get in (it's only free to capacity of course), and the staff at the Wonder mistakenly turned away everyone wearing a wrist band. I had to walk downtown to Jackpot records to get the free pass. Luckily, the venue wasn't at capacity when I got back (an hour later).

Well Brand New is a lot bigger than those bands, so it might be different.

Brand New is bigger than those bands but the year before I saw the arctic monkeys for free and they're comparable in popularity. Another sign is that fact that you can buy tickets to all the other big shows (crystal ballroom and roseland) right now but the wonder shows aren't for sale

I firmly believe that the Arctic Monkeys don't actually exist unless they are actively being over-hyped by NME.

MSTRKRFT added to the lineup! I missed them at Sasquatch so I'm glad I'll be able to see them. And it's another NIKE sponsored show, so if what Know says is true, it will be free.

I would love to see Iron and Wine again. However, Band of Horse would be amazing to see for me too... I'm not sure which to pick or if I should go with the more expensive passes... decisions decisions...

Upon looking over the lineup again last night I realized that they really knocked it out of the fucking park this year. Very sad I can't go.
