[Got Haggis?]

presales on friday

[JohnnyBaconbitz]

Pavement and LCD at the top of the bill is as close to perfect as you can get.

I'm pulling the trigger on the the reserve tickets and I'm not looking back....

I have to hand it to Seth this line-up is crazy good.  I am so happy.  Really I skipped Lolla this year and was sad about missing Edward Sharp and Matt and Kim.   I was supposed to go to pitchfork but relationship problems led to me going home before the festival and now I get to see LCD, Pavement, and Neon Indian anyway.   Plus seeing Yeasayer, MIA, and Sleigh Bells again is wonderful as well.

I didn't care about most of the bands last year, but ended up having a fantastic time. it was great to see the few bands I did care about seeing and to lounge around in the shade (and the bar) with friends.  As long as I am able to get tickets, I plan on going this year as well, regardless of the lineup.

thanks, seth & everyone at IMP!  i'm looking forward to another delightful day of music in symphony woods.

MIA has never been a good live act. Lower your expectations, monkeypants.

agreed, MIA does nothing for me but i'm not in to her music either.  last time i saw her, at vegoose, the fans seem to be eating it up and dancing up a storm.  plus, she had this ridiculously HAWT black backup singing who was wearing a skin-tight silver suit and shakin' it like nobody's biznatch.  almost made it bearable for me.

Thanks to everyone who made this festival happen!

I'm really glad Seth and company decided to focus on a ton of solid bands instead of focusing on a few really big names.

[Vas Deferens]

I doubt they will play in the pavillion

So Seth...when's the forum presale?  I'm out of town on Saturday...

[sweetcell]

so who's on which stage?

gawd i hope LCD and pavement are the two headliners... that would be cruel.

maybe having a big-name puffball like blink-182 is a good idea.  ensures that you don't have to choose between headliners.

so who will?  not sure that MIA is headliner material (although i hope she is, that way the choice is clear).

[Bags]

Temper Trap = Bronski Beat 2010?

Just listening to some of these bands on myspace now...

[Vas Deferens]

I'm hoping MIA and Ludacris are in the pavillion...

[azaghal1981]

Pavement will probably go on opposite MIA.

Joe and I were just debating whether LCD will be on stage 1 or 2. I'm going with 1 prior to MIA.
He thinks they will go on before Pavement on 2 but I think LCD are a bigger draw than Pavement these days.

[DeathFromAbove1979]

Has everyone hated on MIA this much before? I thought she was amazing when I saw her at Sonar like 3 years ago, granted the videos Ive seen she isnt the best voice or anything, but I love her energy and her music is amazing, I cant WAIT to see her, I hope shes not on the fucken main stage. I missed the anouncement because I, hungover, whats the final?

OH and Chromeo

Am I wrong in assuming that the bands on the left side of the screen are playing in the pavilion, and the bands on the right side are paying on the other stage? I just assumed they were laid out like that for a reason.

And the top of the left group says "Merriweather Post Pavilion" while the top of the right group says "and surrounding grounds."

Just a thought.

MIA has never been a good live act. Lower your expectations, monkeypants.

They should just distribute Lynn Hirschberg masks to everyone.  That should get her fired up.
