V Fest

[biga0u812]

i think im might just go and buy the parking pass

Ok Seth well that sucks that Chris Cornell decided not to do it.  Did he say why??  Also anyone going to fill his slot and are there going to be any more additions?

[Seth Hurwitz]

premium parking will definitely sell out, but there are plenty of options beyond that...again, check the festival site
 
 there will be additions in lieu of Chris Cornell

[wml7]

Oh, ok cool so Silverchair will be added.  You saw it here first guys Seth said it.

i think alice in chains might play the fest because they will be touring in august with velvet revolver and playing the virgin music fest will just be the reason they wont play at merriweather or nissan pavilion

Hey Seth,
 I know this is might not be realistic, but how about the Arcade Fire?

I wouldn't mind seeing that addition.

Based upon the boardie reviews, I think the headliners would object.

Great point, but I am still worked up over the show from Friday night. I would love to share that experience with a huge festival crowd.

no, it's not... i was trying to figure out where VFest is positioning itself.   it's not a hipster/indie fest, at least not on the whole.  it's not a classic rock fest.  it's not a frat-rock fest (although it might be heaviest on this genre).  it's not a hard-rock fest.  as far as i can tell, the most specific and distinctive thing it has going for it is the dance tent - but it's not a dance fest, and these acts aren't on the main stage so that's not the main draw.  my conclusion: VFest is a something-for-everyone festival, where there are enough big names to draw everyone in and enough quality to (most probably) keep everyone entertained.
 
 but that's just me putting on my marketing hat.  thoughts?

[Seth Hurwitz]

what I want the Festival to be is...
 
 the best of what's real...a snapshot of the times... what's coming & going & here now
