2008 Virgin Mobile Festival Lineup

[Chulahoma]

I know there is a thread for the wishlist/predictions, but i thought another thread would be nice just for the confirmed lineup..
 
 Virgin Mobile Festival
 August 9 & 10, 2008
 Baltimore, MD
 
 Foo Fighters
 Jack Johnson
 Kanye West
 Nine Inch Nails
 Stone Temple Pilots

I was wondering when the Foo would show up in DC.  I'm hoping for everything I want to see to be on Saturday... That means STP and Kanye should play on Sunday.

[Julian, Alleged Computer F**kface]

STP is Sunday; Jack Johnson is Saturday.

[sweetcell]

yes, johnson has to be saturday as he's headlining APW on sunday.
 
 if NIN are also saturday: does this mean they'll be playing the small stage?  i'd hope not, they have a huge light & laser rig that requires a big stage... in which case it would be NIN before jack johnson.  what a seemless combo!
 
 the alternative wouldn't be much better: kanye + jack.  angry ranting dude vs. chilled-out zen dude.  dream ticket for the ladies   :roll:

[K8teebug]

Trent Reznor=dream ticket for me.
 
 I could give a crap about Jack Johnson or Kanye.

I guess I'm the only person excited about Kanye. *shrug*

Well, I would be, save for that I did see him at HFStival and Lollapalooza 2 years back and I doubt he's doing too much different.
 
   Both shows were good though, especially Lolla, as he brought out Lupe Fiasco and i believe Kano, or someone else.  
 
   He puts on a good show, I'll probably skip it at VFest but only because I've seen it before.
 
  He'll be better than Jack  Johnson thats for sure!

I have a feeling Jack Johnson headline the second stage for some reason. Also, I think STP will be in the Beastie Boys slot (next to last band on main stage) before either NIN or Foo Fighters.

I had to sit through a  Jack Johnson set in 2003 at Coachella as he was sandwiched between Sonic Youth and the White Stripes.
 
   oh it was bad, and to make matters worse, he brought G Love on stage for a few songs.  ugh.

It depends on what's going on in the dance tent/second stage.
 
 Ive been listening to his latest cd a lot in the past 2 or 3 weeks.

[manimtired]

what a terrible line up. do not want.

[proudestmonkey22]

Hey Seth, if you're checking this out, could you tell us when the rest of the lineup is going to be announced?

[HoyaSaxa03]

Alternative Rock!!

[distance]

maybe there can be a jack johnson/trent reznor collaboration.
 like on the bowie/nin tour they can perform their songs together.

As a self-congratulatory hipster, I can say that this lineup wasnt what I was expecting, but its nothing that Jamiroquai cant fix
