Nice lineup.

I'm Krallum and I approved this message.

sweet lineup, excited for kurt vile, ty segall, pere ubu, Adult., lapalux, etc.

as big a spiritualized and big boi fan as i am (and i do legitimately love both those artists and am very excited to see them), i imagine ticket sales won't be as high for the city plaza shows this year, but i could be wrong. i hope i'm wrong.

4/24/2013 11:36:34 AM

most excited for Kurt Vile and Big Boi

4/24/2013 11:39:06 AM

when i said ty segall i meant mikal cronin haha

also, Big Boi is super entertaining live for those of you who haven't seen him. Doesn't shy away from playing Outkast shit.

Where? Last time I remember her being here was March 2011.

PS this lineup rules.

4/24/2013 12:23:20 PM

Awesome, psyched for this year

4/24/2013 12:30:31 PM

Even if she did, I haven't seen her since 2011

4/24/2013 12:34:43 PM

Holy shit that show was 2 years ago. I haven't been drinking that much

4/24/2013 12:57:48 PM

i'm entertained that chronicles of marnia has her dog on the cover, after all the banter about the dog at that show

i am not entertained that the album isn't very good

4/24/2013 1:14:22 PM

Best lineup since ought 10 in my opinion.

4/24/2013 1:20:35 PM

agreed

I love Waxahatchee

4/24/2013 3:16:10 PM

Okay so I'm familiar with about 8 of the bands of the lineup. Give me some artists/songs to check out so that I will share in the excitement about this lineup.

Or, if you'd prefer, just condescend in regard to my previous lack of awareness of all these artists.

4/24/2013 5:15:16 PM

or you can go to the hopscotch site and listen to clips of them all

4/24/2013 7:59:35 PM

I've only heard of 5 of the acts

4/24/2013 8:39:58 PM

Big Boi and Spiritualized at Hopscotch?

first time i wished i still lived in Raleigh

4/24/2013 8:51:51 PM

A redditor created a grooveshark playlist of all the acts

I saw Big Boi at Memorial Hall in 2011 and it was so bad. He just played the videos. Bring a band if you're gonna do a live show, b

4/26/2013 12:35:11 PM

oh nice, Sleep.

4/26/2013 4:52:01 PM

New Mikal Cronin! http://www.npr.org/2013/04/28/179052744/first-listen-mikal-cronin-mcii?sc=tw&cc=twmp

4/29/2013 1:29:05 PM

been trying to listen to all the bands on spotify. some really good artists. was surprised to learn that earl sweatshirt and action bronson are both rappers.

5/13/2013 6:14:13 PM

Went ahead and bought a VIP wristband. Definitely liking a lot of these bands as I check out their music.

5/16/2013 10:24:55 AM

Wow, nice. Future Islands sharing the City Plaza Friday stage with Big Boi.

6/26/2013 2:48:44 AM

I thought that was already known?

6/26/2013 10:43:09 AM

I didn't know it. Some of you that are personal friends of FI probably knew it.

They also just posted the full schedules today, for anyone that didn't already know them all (such as myself)

http://hopscotchmusicfest.com/schedule/

Friday looks nuts.

I'll probably catch, in order: Gross Ghost, Future Islands, Big Boi, Big Black Delta, Local Natives, Mikal Cronin

6/26/2013 4:29:12 PM

Gross Ghost plays too often for me to put them in my schedule. I know not everyone follows that rule, and I don't follow it hard, but I see them enough.

or maybe because it was announced in april at the same time as the lineup...

6/26/2013 6:47:32 PM

^^ FWIW, they won't be playing any shows until Hopscotch. I realize that's only 10 weeks, but still.

Obviously I missed that, but thanks.

and ^^^ with Gross Ghost opening the city plaza set, there isn't really much else going at that time slot on that they'd be competing with.

6/27/2013 12:32:16 AM

^True enough. It's not that I dislike them (though I think there were better choices), just not amp'd at the "chance" to see them. This year my schedule is leaning more towards seeing bands I wouldn't be able to see otherwise. I think in the past I made the mistake of seeing bands I've already seen before and enjoy--but have experienced and will probably see again. Not that everyone has to do that.

6/27/2013 1:32:18 PM

I'm looking for some recommendations for who to check out between Body Games and Marnie Stern/Kurt Vile on Thursday night. I've popped around on the website checking out the bands and nothing is really jumping out at me.

7/3/2013 2:48:56 PM

I guess I need to buy one of these shits

I'm Krallum and I approved this message.

7/3/2013 3:13:54 PM

I love everything that Kurt Vile has ever put out, but with that said, I'm nearly certain the Matthew Dear set will be the can't-miss set of the two

7/3/2013 3:16:57 PM

yeah I was disappointed they were at the same time. I knew I wanted to be there for Marnie Stern and I like Lincoln Theatre, so I figured I'd stick around for Kurt Vile. But yeah, is there anything decent to check out before Marnie Stern, or should I just head to Lincoln Theatre after Body Games?

7/3/2013 3:26:22 PM

even with VIP, i'm gonna try to get to Mikal Cronin extra early.

that's still my favorite record of the year.

7/3/2013 5:40:08 PM

^^ Sylvan Esso is a really good new local band

I'll probably be checking out Lapalux and Dauwd, but then again I love electronic music so I'll probably be at the Pour House all night on Thursday

Pharmakon should be pretty good too, if you want to see something completely different and loud

7/3/2013 6:34:32 PM

thursday: dreebs > pharmakon > merzbow > wolf eyes

no question.

7/3/2013 8:32:02 PM

and if you like rock n roll music, go see protomartyr on friday. they put out one of my favorite records in the past few years.

7/3/2013 8:36:24 PM

^^^ good call, I just checked out Hey Mami and it's pretty rad. that might do the trick.

7/6/2013 1:37:46 AM

gotta figure out how to convince the wife to see pharmakon & pissed jeans
