V-Fest Prediction / Wishlist

How so?


Remember all the bitching everyone did re: RHCP taking prime headliner slots at festivals last year and the year before that should've gone to more deserving bands?

I think the Chili Peppers are just a tad better then JJ.

Some time ago, maybe.

Well you haven't seem them all yet have you

Haha, I love how Seth is always keeping us in suspense and dropping hints about how good the lineup will be.

I trust in Seth that he'll bring all the best to the V-Fest. I had a ton of fun last year, and I'm already excited about this year.

My only concerns are: 1.) not getting some of the "smaller" acts who are on most of the 3-day festivals (Nicole Atkins) since V-Fest is only 2-day, 2.) a lack of British acts (my favorite part of last year). Only Bloc Party is rumored so far; hopefully we can get Kaiser Chiefs or Paolo again.

I'm pretty disappointed with this year, honestly. I don't care for most of the headliners at all. Maybe Clutch will play the festival.

You are right we haven't seen the whole line up yet. So when the heck can we see the whole line up??? haha. I plan to go anyway but just wondering how it will compare to Lolla. I'm going to Lolla too so it will be a crazy two weeks. Going to APW on Friday then Vfest for Sat and Sunday. Bring the lineups!!!!!!!!!

me too

Yeah I'm driving into Baltimore early friday morning and taking an amtrak to Newark NJ. It's like 150 bucks total. I haven't bought it yet but should soon. With gas prices going to be 10 bucks this summer haha, I think this is the best way. Also I don't feel like driving to NY with that nut traffic.

i'm doing friday + sat at APW, and am seriously considering sunday at VFest.

taking amtrak up to APW is a great idea. from newark railway station, they claim to have a direct shuttle/rail to LSP. alternately, it's a short walk from the PATH train. question is, how will you get home? last train back to bmore/dc isn't that late, would require missing some of the radiohead set. you'd need a hotel, or a ride back.

single-day ticket for friday are still available, but i wouldn't wait too long before buying them. saturday single-days sold out the day the went on sale.

I'm going home that same night or morning really. I'll have to rough it out at the train station I think the first train to leave is like 320 am. I figure the concert will be over at 11 or because thats what everyone is saying. Maybe if I have time get some food to eat after concert then head back to train station and wait in agony. Thats my plan

And by meaning heading back home I mean back to my car haha. Because I'll be coming from Charlottesville, VA and my car will be at the Baltimore train station. From there I'll head to vfest or maybe get a hotel room haven't decided yet.

well, i am in baltimore and seriously like 3 blocks off of 95 so i couldnt be more on the way.

i am waiting to hear on a new job this week and if that pans out we could probably rent a van with like 7 ppl and it would probably be less than 50 a person. oh how green of us.

Keep me in the loop on this, if you're willing to include me in your group.

Someone HAS TO FILM THIS! Message board indie dorks in a madcap road trip to go to two festivals in one weekend? Classic! Oh, the self-referential dialogue! Oh, the pointless discussions of coffee and TV shows you watched when you were 10! Oh, the sudden, awkward political rants! And the sexual tension? OFF THE CHARTS!!! It's like the movie "Fanboys." You should call yours "Hipsters." You can even get Miss P to play the Kristen Bell part!

thom would be very proud of you, sonick :)

personally, i'd get a hotel room in jersey and get a full & proper night's sleep. the alternative is waiting 2-3 hours in a train station, then 1.5 hours sleep on the train, then a subsequent 4-5 in a hotel in b'more.
