Virgin Festival set times?

[serpent boy]

Does anyone know when set times will be posted?
 
 Every other major festival has had their set times posted a month prior to the show. I had hope that an update would come last night when they announced the "Book the Band" winner, but no luck.
 
 I think we know that The Police/Modest Mouse is one major conflict, and I'm assuming that 311 will go head-to-head with The Smashing Pumpkins since 311.com has the band headlining the South Stage (75 min. set).

Commence the bitching!
 
 (I'm going to lunch...)

Wow, that's the first festival line-up I've seen where I'd have no conflicts, except maybe TVOTR and the Beasties.  Everything else lines up perfectly.  Shame I'm out of town.

FUCK @ the SP/MIA conflict.

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

Me neither. But that's because I can count the number of bands I'd actually want to see on one hand!

[Julian, Alleged Computer F**kface]

Kinda sucks that Modest Mouse and the Police are the same time, but no real bitching. The four bands I really wanted to see on day 2 (SP, Spoon, YYYs, Interpol) are all mainstage, so that's good. I can go see half of EITS and Bad Brains during Panic at the Disco too.

[nkotb]

See, I'd think the Pumpkins would be skip-able, due to the fact that you saw a full set on a much smaller stage.  If you've never seen MIA, seems an easy choice.
 
 Any other Virgin Festival planning needed?  I'm happy to help.

[miss pretentious]

that's what it's looking like for me.
 PLUS i can still catch like 30 mins of the SP set before MIA anyway.
 
 i'm also torn between amy winehouse and paolo nutini, but maybe amy won't show up and that'll make things easier.

The Police the same time as Modest Mouse does suck. Guess I got to go with the Police since Modest Mouse will be back again at another time, probably a smaller venue. Other then that, everythign looks good. Can't really complain. Last year was Chilli Peppers vs Flaming Lips, and i still had a GREAT time.

[serpent boy]

Thanks for the set times! I've been checking the Virgin Festival Web site about 20 times a day for these.
 
 I expected a few conflicts, but everything is going to work out just fine.
 
 Saturday, I'll check out Fiction Plane and a bit of LCD Soundsystem and Paolo Nutini in between sets; North Stage the rest of the day. I'd love to see TV on the Radio and Modest Mouse, but they're just not as important to me as Beasties or Police.
 
 Sunday, I'll probably show up later and skip CSS/Aiden. Regina Spektor/Spoon interest me, then Explosions in the Sky/Bad Brains while I find food. Yeah Yeah Yeahs have a pretty nice set while South Stage takes a break and then it's Interpol and the Pumpkins! It sucks that I won't get to see ANY of 311, but I just saw them last week. No biggie.
 
 Good work, Seth and whoever else is responsible.

I'm surprised mia is playing so late.  I'm glad because i was afraid css and mia would be playing at the same time.
 wee
 fun times on sunday.
 can't wait.

Pumpkins - MIA conflict suuuuucks, but I've never seen Corgan and company live. I guess it'll be Pumpkins to close out the show for me.
