not enough to make me deal with the travel, heat, and sea of hippies - but at any other festival, i'd be happy with that line-up.  plenty to keep one entertained over 4 days. 

Daryl Hall & Chromeo  - wtf?

[betao]

Very subpar lineup for Roo. Coachella killed them this year.

[sweetcell]

good point - 'chella is damn close to putting me on a plane.

roo's headliners seem especially weak.

[Chulahoma]

the lineup is indeed weak, but

daryl hall and chromeo....together???

[kosmo vinyl]

It's weakened by the fact that several unlegends are headlining over legends.

[Mr.Whippy]

Wow Coachella absolutely killed Bonnaroo this year.  LCD Soundsystem is probably the single most exciting thing on there.

Still going to Bonnaroo due to it being a tradition with a group of friends, but very glad to also be going to Coachella.

One positive thing about the Roo lineup is the relative lack of jam bands! 

[kosmo vinyl]

Isn't Stevie Wonder one of the original jam artists?  I'm sure the DMB fans will Masterblaster(jammmin') during his set.

[betao]

Stevie Wonder might not know he's billed behind them.

 

[Mr.Whippy]

I'm actually pretty excited about seeing Stevie.  My guess is if he is playing Roo he will probably do other shows. 

LCD Soundsystem will probably be late night, which would be really fun.  I guess the Flaming Lips late night thing also has potential.  Those seem like the unique things Roo has to offer this time.
