there are going to be a ton of people who would spend way more than $40 for one of the headliners

just throwing it out there

4/7/2011 3:47:53 PM

omg I can't stand the suspense anymore

Hopscotch anticipation has filled the empty void left by the end of the coaching search anticipation

4/7/2011 3:53:01 PM

^^definitely

4/7/2011 4:03:14 PM

Can we get a moratorium on people talking about how awesome one of the headliners is going to be until yall man up and let us in on your secret?

4/7/2011 4:13:41 PM

it's a secret for a reason...

4/7/2011 4:15:06 PM

Two weeks. Then we can all talk about how fucking awesome the headliner is.

4/7/2011 4:22:15 PM

^OMGZ. that is a TELLING statement! (right, WolfMiami?) Grizzly Bear is headling!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Man I hope OFWGKTA is there

pavement would be sick.

4/7/2011 4:47:36 PM

Pavement is a terrible live band.

I say that having seen them twice, ten years apart.

With that said, it's not Pavement.

There's a clue in my first post about the headliner.

Nothing "telling" about that statement. He was just merely pointing out when the lineup will be announced to the public and an open discussion can be had with the secret info that only a few currently possess.

4/7/2011 5:04:51 PM

well, thats a dead giveaway.

4/7/2011 5:05:01 PM

i didn't say it was a good clue

4/7/2011 5:10:52 PM

damnit... i hope the VIP's don't sell out too quickly.

4/7/2011 6:36:12 PM

oooooooohhhhh i think i might know

4/7/2011 6:40:03 PM

i would be less forthcoming if a certain someone wasn't the worst secret keeper on earth

note: i am not referring to a TWWer

4/7/2011 7:31:43 PM

I wouldn't be very good at cryptanalysis.

[Edited on April 7, 2011 at 8:07 PM. Reason : That was an invitation for pm's]

4/7/2011 7:49:26 PM

I'm hoping they'll announce all the bands at the beginning rather than waiting several months to reveal the full line-up. I want to be able to make as educated a decision as possible regarding my ticket purchase(s)

4/7/2011 8:02:33 PM

considering that the lineup was pretty damn good last year and the festival was a huge success

i'll say that you should buy the best ticket you can afford knowing that the lineup will be top notch

VIP was more than worth it last year, and will certainly be worth it this year, even at a higher price

4/7/2011 8:15:25 PM

well, i feel dumb

4/7/2011 8:22:14 PM

Yeah, I wouldn't necessarily let the lineup make or break your ticket-buying decision.

What y'all don't know is that vinylbandit originally typed "One week.". That's right. You guys heard it here first. Saturday night's headliner is....

If I had a million dollars I'd buy 6000-7000 wristbands.

4/7/2011 9:15:02 PM

And, look, if anybody's underwhelmed by this announcement, I mean, think about it. What would have actually impressed you? It's all been done before.

4/7/2011 9:24:16 PM

eh... they're no Brian Wilson

4/7/2011 9:29:18 PM

OH-- I get it. Brian Wilson is headlining! Sweet.

Clues:

vinylbandit said "prepare to flip your goddamn lid" in his post. "flip you lid" is a lyric in Little Deuce Coupe by the Beach Boys.

wilso said "eh... they're no Brian Wilson"

Done, and done

If Brian Wilson circa 1968 was the headliner I would actually be impressed. I'd probably poop my pants (and not just cuz of the time travel stuff).

4/7/2011 10:33:05 PM

billy corgan solo. haha

4/8/2011 1:30:03 AM
