V-Fest Prediction / Wishlist

[SacredxSuperman]

any idea on what time the line-up is going to be up. Is it going to be like exactly at midnight as all the others have seem to be announced at.

[DeathFromAbove1979]

Odds are he'll delay again.
 
 Dammit.

[SacredxSuperman]

I hope not, I've been waiting too long for tomorrow to come. Also umm someone go to wikipedia and tell me whats up with the random weird additions of bands that don't exist at all with weird names ... someone is having too much fun with that.

 I do like this

[Here's the thing]

Chuck Berry with the Silver Beats is going to be very fun.

[hutch]

the lineup is much weaker draw wise on saturday than sunday! i'm pretty surprised..having said that  i will be there saturday because the only act i really want to see is chuck berry and with the silver beats who kick ass..
 
 but to have one day be jack johnson wilco offspring and the other day be kanye dylan stp iggy pop nine inch nails
 
 its kinda crazy if you ask me..
 
 as i say though i'm grateful to seth for finally bringing chuck berry back and putting him with a great backing band.... thanks! and about time!

the go! team
 
 yay

[serpent boy]

It's OK. I was hoping for a better mid-level bill, but they can't ALL be great.
 
 I was pretty certain I'd go to Lollapalooza instead, but then Seth pulled out Dylan and She & Him. Hmm.
 
 Pretty weak Saturday. Only Foo Fighters, Bloc Party, and Cat Power really interest me.
 
 Sunday's looking worthy, though. NIN, STP, Dylan, BRMC, Iggy, Zooey, Shudder to Think, Black Keys. Nice.

[slappy]

shudder to think - didn't see that coming!
 glad to see the NYC shows really weren't just a quasi-reunion.

[bkrome]

Dylan!  I think its a good lineup.  Iggy, Kanye, Black Keys and Dylan Sunday will be a lot of fun.

[Smylie]

I'll be buying my Lolla ticket today.  Oh well

[Youenjoy]

its alright... would have liked to see some more big names, but ill be there.

[PigIron]

Still passing and going to Lollapalooza.  But nice job placing everyone worth seeing (in my opinion) on Sunday.  Maybe when I get back, if I have money left over from Chicago...although it will be pretty embarrassing paying 100 bucks to see a show that features Lil' Wayne.  I wanna be as cool as ever and say that Chuck Berry is really, really awesome, but I can only name a few songs.  Would he gain indie-alternative cred if he just rolled out obscure singles and new material instead of the radio hits at the festival?
 
 Bummer Moby is only doing a DJ set.
 And who the fuck are the Silver Beats?

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

Much better lineup on Saturday. If tickets were $60 per day, it would be tempting.

[Here's the thing]

The Silver Beats are 4 Japanese guys that play Beatles covers. It sounds crazy, but they are a good time. They seem like really humble guys on stage, and a great part of the whole thing is seeing their reaction to the crowd when they play really happy Beatles songs. I just have a feeling that they will be in their glory when backing Chuck Berry, and it will be heart-warming to see. In addition, it is pretty exhilirating to sing along with all of the old Beatles songs in a big crowd. I just hope Chuck is nice to them, because I have read that he can be a grouchy old guy sometimes. If he is into it, the dynamics of the five of them on stage could be a cool concert moment.
