comedy lineup just announced headed: Conan O' Brien, Margaret Cho, Aziz Ansari, Doug Benson and a few others. Conan being announced is a pretty nice addition.

3/11/2010 4:38:46 PM

not bad considering there was already enough comedy associated with this lineup with tenacious D, ween, GWAR and kings of leon headlining.

i feel like the lineup is kind of weak this year, but at the same time i want to go so bad.

3/12/2010 1:50:39 AM

the lineup could be better but there are definitley enough acts there to keep me occupied the entire time

3/12/2010 3:35:52 AM

It's weak this year?

All I've heard about is how this is one of the strongest lineups in years or some shit. There's one guy that won't stop talking about it to the point where I probably won't go just because I might have to see him there.

3/12/2010 3:11:10 PM

well i'm just not thrilled by DMB and kings of leon as headliners even though dave matthews was one of the headliners in 05. and i cringe every time i see weezer on the lineup. what are the chances jay-z closes out the festival on sunday? in 2008 jack johnson was the third name on the bill, but widespread panic played sunday evening.

the more i see the overall lineup, music and comedy, i just keep seeing more bands on there that i wouldnt mind checking out. i think there will be no way i will see everyone i want to and that is not necessarily a bad thing. the experience plus everything else is worth every penny to me. summer festivals are never a bad thing if done right

3/12/2010 6:39:00 PM

i'd really like to see my morning jacket and/or monsters of folk added

3/12/2010 8:10:34 PM

^i'd go if both were added. as it stands right now, it will take some serious convincing to get me to go this year.

3/13/2010 12:12:57 AM

MMJ is touring the southeast and then playing sasquatch festival in washington at the end of may. then they don't have anything scheduled til august. i don't see why they wouldn't be able to show up on the farm for a night. they should be the god damn saturday headliner after that shit they pulled in 2008.

3/13/2010 12:25:19 AM

Jay-Z is playing Saturday night.

And I like the lineup. Not the headliners, but I really don't mind that it's not as stacked as last year.

Hopefully there won't be any ridiculous conflicts like last year as a result (ANCO/TVOTR/YYY's vs. St. Vincent/Grizzly Bear/Grace Potter/Santigold)

3/13/2010 3:14:31 AM

well typically the first name on the lineup plays the saturday night headlining spot, so i guess he could be the lead-in to DMB. or i guess late night is an option too.

[Edited on March 13, 2010 at 2:35 PM. Reason : late night]

3/13/2010 2:32:32 PM

he'll likely be latenight saturday

dont forget he's headlining isle of wight that friday

3/13/2010 6:24:08 PM

^^I'm just stating facts.

Jay-Z. Night of Saturday.

3/14/2010 10:43:32 AM

^^ yeah, which i guess is the reason why he'll be doing late night. that'll probably be a kick ass show. hopefully it wouldn't be at the same time as dark side of the moon.

3/14/2010 3:51:12 PM

i downloaded the flaming lips' dark side of the moon cover. it's pretty out there, but i expected as much. "money" is pretty bad though. as much as i can't stand peaches, she actually does a pretty good job as the screaming female singer on "great gig in the sky." i'm not sure how many times i'd listen to this rendition of dark side, but i still think it'll be great to see it done live.

3/15/2010 1:31:42 AM

^does it sync with Wizard of Oz?

3/15/2010 2:11:32 AM

haha no. "time" is only a little more than half the length of the pink floyd version.

3/15/2010 3:09:13 AM

Great Gig in The Sky is the only track on that album I like.

On the cover album, not the real one.

3/15/2010 11:57:08 PM

i like "on the run" and "any colour you like" better than the floyd versions, but i could do without the rest. i still plan on seeing the show, and i doubt it'll go over an hour unless they just go off making noise for extended periods of time.

3/16/2010 12:27:42 AM

^^Dude, Us and Them is one of their best songs ever...

why would you expect fl to not do so

at a latenight show

of course they will

3/16/2010 8:52:14 AM

it's getting so close

5/12/2010 8:26:46 PM

does anyone want my ticket

5/12/2010 11:25:58 PM

i need to get mine, but i kind of want to wait and see if i win the barn contest even though i know i probably won't.

5/12/2010 11:32:43 PM

Might sell mine.

I dunno.

5/12/2010 11:41:28 PM

i'm lowballing the shit out of people in cl now.

if i cant find one for ~$100 i may hit you up, with a more fair price.

5/13/2010 9:19:13 AM

i think our group has an extra rv and companion vehicle pass if anyone wants to buy that off me at a discounted rate

5/13/2010 3:37:14 PM

Anyone going to this from Western NC that plans on getting there Tuesday night? Think I'm gonna volunteer, so gotta be there Tuesday, but looking for someone to split the trip with.

5/27/2010 6:48:32 PM

friday is gonna be almost non stop for me from 4pm til 4am

5/27/2010 8:46:23 PM

^So fucking excited for that late LCD Soundsystem show. Sooooo excited. He's my #1 must-see of the whole lineup.

5/27/2010 8:51:59 PM

i might catch the tail end of that after galactic. i don't really listen to lcd soundsystem, and galactic never disappoints. what would you recommend from lcd's catalog? maybe i'll cut out from galactic early.

[Edited on May 27, 2010 at 8:59 PM. Reason : .]

5/27/2010 8:58:27 PM

All three of his records are fantastic, really, but most agree (including myself) that the best is Sound of Silver. I'm sure Galactic will be awesome, and I'll catch as much as their set as I can, but can't miss LCD...this will be their last tour, supposedly.

Also gonna have a tough time deciding between the Flaming Lips, the Black Keys, and Hercules and Love Affair. If it was a regular Lips show, it'd be a no-brainer, but they're just playing Dark Side of the Moon all the way through, and that record wasn't that good. Ultimately, though, I've seen the Black Keys before and I'll probably be able to see Hercules and Love Affair at another time, I think I'll probably end up seeing the Flaming Lips.

[Edited on May 27, 2010 at 9:10 PM. Reason : .]

5/27/2010 9:07:08 PM

^ i'll check that out. i thought the late night schedule was gonna be a disaster, but i'm not gonna have a hard time picking my spots at all. i've never really been into electronic stuff, but i might check out a little bit of some of them since the electronic sets tend to be some of the wildest ones at bonnaroo every year.

5/27/2010 9:15:51 PM

i know you're a black keys fan, are you gonna watch the flaming lips or the black keys?

5/27/2010 9:23:10 PM

black keys. never seen them. i like the flaming lips, but i don't like them enough to miss black keys, and i don't like their rendition of dark side enough either.

5/27/2010 10:39:40 PM

god dammit daryl hall and chromeo are in that slot too.

5/30/2010 3:01:03 PM

^I know...sucks considering there are several two to four hour slots where I have little interest in the shows going on (Sunday comes immediately to mind). Just schedule the Black Keys during the fucking Dave Matthews Band. I know they didn't schedule shows during headliners on purpose, but I feel like there will be a lot of people there that aren't into seeing Dave Matthews at all.

Probably catch one or two of those Aziz Ansari/Human Giant comedy shows on Sunday, though.

[Edited on May 30, 2010 at 3:06 PM. Reason : .]

5/30/2010 3:06:18 PM

LCD Soundsystem is at least 2000 times better than Galactic

that's a no brainer

Sunday's lineup is pretty weak... i'm guessing a lot of people will bounce early

5/30/2010 3:10:32 PM

The only band/artist I've heard a single song from on saturday before about 5PM is Norah Jones.

^and yeah.

LCD Soundsytem easy.

I'm pretty stoked that they're late-night and not pre-headlining or something.

I've bounced before the sunday headliner all three years I've been. But I might check out DMB. I don't listen to them, but I have a friend who seems to know his shit who loves them as musicians, and vehemently hates the BRO culture that surrounds them.

[Edited on May 30, 2010 at 3:21 PM. Reason : .]

5/30/2010 3:17:17 PM

^True about Saturday, too...Although I'd see Jimmy Cliff...and the Conan O' Brien thing might be cool.

There are three bands total that I have any interest in seeing on Sunday (aside from Aziz Ansari)...Tinariwen, Japandroids, and Phoenix.

i'm not sure if you're familiar with any of their stuff, but i would highly recommend seeing ween on sunday. and at least you'll get a good spot for phoenix afterwards too since they're both playing on the which stage. i think ween might be the band i'm the most excited about, and i just saw them in april. they're seriously one of the most talented groups on the lineup.

and i kind of want to head out after ween since i don't really care for phoenix or DMB too much, but one of my friends wants to see both. sunday just sucks because you're so drained from the last 3 days and get to a point where you're like "fuck all this. i wanna go home."

6/3/2010 10:31:47 PM

there are mad tix on the CL.

6/3/2010 10:32:32 PM

initially i didnt want to go, after having been most of the last several years

and never bought a ticket, with the lineup being not all that exciting

the gf and friends bought tickets, she goes every year too

now that its the week before, and i'm laying here with a broke ass leg and cannot go

i'm sad to be missing it

just for the fun and experience

6/3/2010 10:39:49 PM

rolling this year for the first time, not worried about "the lineup sucks/it's the weakest ever". gonna have a good time.

6/3/2010 10:49:49 PM

6/3/2010 11:28:13 PM

i listened to some lcd soundsystem and watched a couple live videos, and while their live stuff sounded really good, that dude has like, negative stage presence from what i saw. probably won't pull me away from much of galactic though. i've been wanting to see them for a while, and i was livid in 08 when i found out they randomly showed up for chali 2na's set because i missed it.

and holy shit i might have to see some of the gossip before dr. dog on friday. look at what their singer wears

LCD Soundsystem is pretty incredible live. everyone is super tight musically.

my friend saw them in Brooklyn last week and said the light show was pretty crazy also

isn't Galactic like a shitty jam/funk band? seems like an easy choice to me, but to each his own, i guess

i just found out today i could have had a free ticket to this, but i have to work
