I thought it was funny that The End leaked a poster missing two band just so they could get firsties. O well, thanks again for being there for us. It's not so much they leaked it, so much as that I (and anyone else who posted it) jacked it from a page where they're having a contest to win tix. They're probably not getting a new poster for ages, so that's the one that'd be up there regardless of who got firsties.

O HAI GUYS. Sorry for that clusterfuck of a launch party haha Thanks for your effort even if it did leak on The End. What was the reaction to the lineup? People were cheering for pretty much everything. The video presentation was pretty cool too. Good way of announcing the artists.

Also fuck The End for posting the lineup 5 minutes before the lineup video played...We were both going wtf. Yeah, what the hell was that. I would be pretty pissed if I was at the official line-up release and I get a text from a friend with that poster from The End before it was announced at the gig. Lame sauce.

Sunday has been the double headliner night in the past, and the Lips are at Primavera, so I'd guess they'll double with Wilco or DCFC on Sunday night.
Wait...does that make sense? I'm so tired.

I was thinking that maybe on the first day they will only have bands playing on the mainstage? opinions?

I think they'd have to have other stages, it at least give people options instead of them paying for a festival and on the first afternoon they don't get a choice on who they want to see.

Remember that they add a bunch of names from now until the fest. The undercard will grow. 88 bands played last year.

89 on the poster right now, 91 if you count DFA79 and Tokyo Police Club

I might be mistaken, I didn't go, but the first year they had 3 days, wasn't day 1 mainstage only (that day being one that started in the early afternoon)?

Was pretty bummed the End broke the poster before the live announcement. But was worth it when I was handed the DFA news from a livenation rep. I owe her a beer.

I doubt we can make guesses about how this year will be formatted based on previous years.

Surprised how low they're billed, especially compared to Coachella

Guided by Voices should be WAY higher. To see Chromeo before them makes me cringe.
