V-Fest Prediction / Wishlist

[wml7]

You are kidding right??  I've never even heard of any of those bands.

Must be a really really deep deep indie festival.

There have been other threads about it on this board but they didn't go anywhere.
 
 But yeah...out of all the festivals in the US this summer, this one does have the highest percentage of acts I'd like to see.

Me either, but only because they're too mainstream.

wrong, very very wrong

[azaghal1981]

How so?
 
 
 Remember all the bitching everyone did re: RHCP taking prime headliner slots at festivals last year and the year before that should've gone to more deserving bands?

I think the Chili Peppers are just a tad better then JJ.

Some time ago, maybe.

Well you haven't seem them all yet have you

Haha, I love how Seth is always keeping us in suspense and dropping hints about how good the lineup will be.
 
 I trust in Seth that he'll bring all the best to the V-Fest. I had a ton of fun last year, and I'm already excited about this year.
 
 My only concerns are: 1.) not getting some of the "smaller" acts who are on most of the 3-day festivals (Nicole Atkins) since V-Fest is only 2-day, 2.) a lack of British acts (my favorite part of last year). Only Bloc Party is rumored so far; hopefully we can get Kaiser Chiefs or Paolo again.

I'm pretty disappointed with this year, honestly.  I don't care for most of the headliners at all.  Maybe Clutch will play the festival.

You are right we haven't seen the whole line up yet.  So when the heck can we see the whole line up??? haha.  I plan to go anyway but just wondering how it will compare to Lolla.  I'm going to Lolla too so it will be a crazy two weeks.  Going to APW on Friday then Vfest for Sat and Sunday.  Bring the lineups!!!!!!!!!
