Official Virgin Festival Commentary Thread

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

That's my gripe about V-Fest: taking club shows away from us so that the performer will be exclusively at the festival. Though my compaint is not about Interpol specifically.

Great lineup, Seth, and a fair price.
 
 Day two seems a little better then day one, personally.

[Seth Hurwitz]

No, thank you!
 
 P.S. If you could see to it that IF Chris Cornell has to play the second stage he goes up against 311 or Wu Tang Clan, that'd be super for me.

I think overall it is a very fair price and there are some great bands going, Seth, it's just i know for me personally I can't justify paying -that price- for two or three bands. I'd gladly pay $50-60 at the 930 for Interpol alone, but to deal with traffic + downtime + festival + people (when you've worked too many festivals you tend to shy away from them.. that's the problem with working venues in my experience) it's very hard to justify. If that makes sense.
 
 Me personally, I prefer club shows and smaller venues, and thusly would pay the price for those. I'm an enormous DMB fan and coughing up $150 for (notably, guaranteed awesome seats) Nissan might make it my last DMB show unless tickets go down.
 
 I think it'll be a great fest and I wish you all the success in the world. I'm hoping I'll get to go, but if I can't, it's really solely about money over anything else.

M.I.A., Spoon, CSS, LCD Soundsystem, Girl Talk, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, TV on the Radio, Incubus, and Amy Winehouse...PLUS the Police?
 
 Yeah. I'm sold.

It's 87/day.  That's a pretty good price for all of the artists mentioned.

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

Are you going for the tickets that don't have extra fees tacked on?

last year i bought tickets at the merriweather box office, i dont know that there was a service charge at all, if so, it was like $1 a ticket.
 
  930 club was also sellling virtually-service charge free tickets.

I think the line-up is fascinating.  If I weren't going to be on vacation, I would go to V-Fest -- if only for the great people-watching potential that lineup brings.

Are you going to PEI again?
