The Lady is right, and I am with her! I really like R.E.M. and The Cure but find it hard to get excited about bands that have been touring for 1000 years. Hope those 40-year olds with all the moolah are jumping up and down with glee right now.

Let’s hope some of those rumored local performers show up- now THAT list is something to get excited about!

Maybe this is the year that I go. This lineup looks incredible. I might even say it rivals Austin. Jules?

The one thing I’ve learned (painfully) about festivals like this is “F^CK the headliners”. Last year I got my panties all in a twist about friggen Fergie-the-Turd headlining Bumbershoot. So much so that I boycotted the whole damn thing (Thanks again, AEG… http://www.nwmusicblog.com/2007/07/12/bumber-poop/) as a result I missed a ton of great bands that Reel One slipped under AEG’s radar. I don’t know why these big wig promoters insist on getting the revival tour bands to play the festivals, I can only assume it’s because the 40 yr old who loved R.E.M. in the 90’s has 10X more scratch than joey barista who loves modern music. Chances are, someone NOT headlining actually IS in their heyday.

Oh, I love the matte stephens’ artwork they got for the flyer!

Maybe it’s just me, and I know the logistics (read $$$) behind bringing in the headliners, but I long for the day when these festivals no longer go for the 80s, early 90s nostalgia for the big draw. Believe me, I love the Cure, am a fan of REM and have a music collection that consists of more albums from the 80s and early 90s than I’d like to admit (or OK, I like to admit it), I just think it’s much more exciting to go see bands during their heyday, not 15-25 years later.

That said, please disregard all the above if the Smiths ever reunite.
