After I attended Lollapalooza in my favorite city last August I was eagerly anticipating the 2008 music festival line-ups. So far so bad. Here's a look at two of the more prominent festivals line-ups Coachella, and Bonaroo.
Coachella = Worth Seeing-Death Cab, Racounters, My Morning Jacket,The National,Animal Collective,Cold War Kids,Stars,Vampire Weekend. Now for the Big Headliners Roger Waters performing Dark Side of the Moon(I'm good on aging rock stars cashing in on past glory), Portishead(??),Jack Johnson(snooze), Kraftwerk(??), The Verve(lol).
Bonnaroo = Worth Seeing-Pearl Jam, Kanye West, My Morning Jacket, Racounters, Death Cab, Vampire Weekend. Big Headliners-Metalica(rock and roll!!), Jack Johnson(snooze again), Robert Plant(see Waters comment), Allman Brothers, Willie Nelson, Phil Lesh. WOW! Organizers may want to move the date up to, oh i don't know lets say, next weekend. after all, Phil Lesh,Nelson, and The Allman Bros. are a combined 776 years old and who knows if they still be with us in June. Apparently, Death Cab,Racounters, My Morning Jacket,and Vampire Weekend are on a quest to play every domestic festival this year. But I still can't believe it, Metalica at Bonnaroo!! What once started as a hippie festival on a Tennesee camp ground has now become Headbangers Ball. I'd rather pay $175 to watch radiohead on-line then deal with these crap events.
