Wow, nice headliners, especially at the price P4kFest usually runs.

That is kind of fitting.

"The artists joining this year's already-stacked bill are: Canadian guitar battalion Broken Social Scene, Animal Collective's own Panda Bear, infamous garage-soul
power trio the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, underground hip-hop warrior El-P, West Coast indie heartbreakers Girls, Jersey ragers Titus Andronicus, Brooklyn
synth-rock crew Bear in Heaven, Indiana rap bruiser Freddie Gibbs,  glam-garage upstarts the Smith Westerns, L.A. roller-rink funk visionary Dâm-Funk,
experimental psych band Cave, and krautrockers Allá."


I'd love to see Panda Bear again but have trouble believing a festival set would work as well as a club show.


Then again, 99.999999999% of bands are better in clubs than at festivals. And that is why festivals suck.
