I was a huge fan of each and every one of those artists/bands before they became all mainstream and started playing festivals. Now, meh, they're all sellouts.
 
That's an excellent lineup this year. For whatever reason, the big concerts (Bonnaroo, Coachella, Sasquatch etc) are all pretty poor. There's a number of bands I'd want to see.
 
Holy crap! How long is that concert supposed to last? Are they going to do one song each and share instruments? The set-up and take-down for each band put together will last a week alone.
 
2 Day and 2 stages. Goes on well into the night. Most sets are 30-45 minutes. We went last year to see the Ghetto Boyz reunion and they got busted for smoking and the po po wouldn't let them on the stage. A huge issue for this festival is that June can be pretty hot in Houston and I don't like to sit with the poors, so I have to buy the VIP tent tix.
 
Skrillex
Major Lazer
Ben Harper & the Innocent Criminals...
St. Vincent

I'd like to see these guys.
 
Skillex is still around? Dubstep has to be the biggest d
Fad in music..

Haha and last year when that massive storm rolled through on Saturday and the park had to be evacuated and people were pissed. That was kind of funny actually.

I'm not that big of a Skrillex fan.... Saying that, Skrillex and Diplo put on a great show as Jack U.
 
I think it's a decent but not great lineup. The undercard Interests me more than the headliners. I'd probably be going myself if I didn't already have plans to be out of town that weekend.

As for whoever said that Sasquatch has a bad lineup this year, you're insane. I have a wedding to go to that weekend otherwise I'd be headed west, love their lineup.

Festival Lineups always make me feel very musically out of touch. I've only heard of about 3 of those people/bands and dont know them well enough to name any of their songs. I guess I'm too stuck in my ways of listening to all the good music from the 60's and 70's to venture out and check out the new stuff

same here except that I am mostly 80's.

I have no idea who most of those bands are, what genre of music is it?
