I don't wish it would "go away", but it does kinda stink that bands play it and it is considered their DC/B'more tour stop (e.g., The Police).  There are a lot of cool things about festivals, but sometimes I'd rather see a band's full set in a slightly smaller setting. [/b]

Calm down, man. The Police will be back in the fall. They'll come thru DC on their 2nd go-around for North America. At this point, I'd bet money on Verizon . . .

i personally would rather see most bands i like in a larger setting with more people, more fun, more craziness.
 
   smaller settings are cool for some bands. but i like the large setting just as much most of the time.  plus you get to see 9 bands in one day instead of only 1 or 2

Yeah, there's a link on the previous page of this thread to their booking agent's calendar.
 
 For those who missed it, Seth confirmed Fountains of Wayne for day 1 in the Hey Seth thread.

Yes, I thought that had been brought up in this thread already, though. Good reminder though.

Thank you Virgin Festival Gods.  
 
 They could stop now and I'd be pretty happy.

so cool.
 
   can we get Fishbone too?  
 
 you all better go to this show so there'll be an even better one next year!!!

Wish you could have gotten the White Stripes, but oh well.
 Would LOVE to see Queens of the Stone Age added.
 Maybe even Eagles of Death Metal. Don't think they have a new album coming out, but they fit in so perfectly with the atmosphere of V-Fest.
 Other bands with new albums in 07:
 RadioHead, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Gnarls Barkley, Oasis?  I know all of them outside of Gnarls Barkley are probably a pipe dream, but one can wish.
 Please don't add Panic at the Disco, or any of the bands like that with new albums coming out.
 GREAT JOB SO FAR, can't wait for the rest of the lineup!!!!!!

[sonickteam2]

didnt Gnarls Barkley suck enough last year?
