the VIP section last year was a fenced off section - where the soundbooth/lighting stuff was basically. THen I think there was another VIP only section that had picnic tables and tents that was off to the side.

Will former VIP get the password emailed again?

In an interview either Seth or Richard Bronson or Branson or whatever said they would expect 100,000 people over both days. And it has yet to sell out any years so far, although last year's first day was FUCKING PACKED compared to the first year.

God damn Police.

One of my comments last year to Seth was that there were lousy/nonexistant sightlines from the two VIP bar areas. I'm hoping that that this will change for 2008.

One change that they've noted is that there will be a separate viewing area for BOTH stages (unlike last year) which is a definite improvement!

I want Beck …

Beck would be perfect for mid-afternoon on Sunday, and a great act live to lead us into the night

Lets just hope Beck is one of those bands that might be added, along with Kings of Leon, but more so Beck.

Please give us Beck Seth, please!

For any fans of EDM out there…

That is one seriously stacked EDM bill. Underworld, RITM and Pendulum doing a live set, Soulwax, Moby, Deadmau5, and Chromeo? Count me in.

Here's to hoping that on Sunday, NIN and RITM don't conflict.

Don't be surprised if Radiohead and Grizzly Bear are added to Sunday and one of Sunday's headliners pushed to Saturday.

Somewhere in the greater DC metro area, David Malitz is text-messaging J. Freedom furiously.

While masturbating.

Pitchfork is reporting Deerhunter is on the lineup, but does not say which day. Good addition.

EDIT: Probably Sunday since they're on tour with NIN. The whole thing could be a giant assumption on p4k's part, tho.

That would be a bizarre place to see Deerhunter.

really? so when someone is playing the main stage, there will be no one on the second stage? this would be a first…

I'd say Springsteen has a better chance of being added. There's a big gap between their Foxborough show 8/2 and Milwaukee 8/30

He's saying they're staggered so you could "see" every artist. Not that you could "see the entire set" by every band.

ah, thanks. silly me.

i like it when festivals have two stages side-by-side or facing each other (like lolla), and as soon as one band stops on stage 1 the next starts up on stage 2. all music all the time.
