V-Fest Prediction / Wishlist

It was posted on the Washington Post rock blog, so it could be fake, but this one seems far more likely than the previous one, since Seth said in an interview that Dylan would play right before Kanye.

lolol @ lil wayne following she and him.

Sandwiched between She & Him and the Black Keys

Which one does not fit with the others? Ha
I don't see S&H or Black Keys fans being particularly into a guy like Lil' Wayne

chromeo and the go! team at the same time. ahhh
what da do.

Any bets on Kanye getting pissed off that NIN gets a much longer set?

Or if Dylan plays longer than his scheduled time, Kanye launches an anti-Dylan rant via his "macbook air"?

6:20 - 7:35 – Stone Temple Pilots
6:45 - 8:00 – Bob Dylan

Well that's just f–king great.

As much as I love Dylan, STP might be more logical. Dylan tours every year, wheras STP might not make it through this tour, let alone another.

awesome. Only real complaint I have for it is why RITM is going on so early (I was hoping for sometime after 5).

But other than that, awesome!! 2 hours of Underworld!! YESS

wow, cant believe brmc are on first. well i should be able to get a prime viewing spot.

well, glad the sched. finally came out.

I suppose i was hoping for a miracle or some kind of perfect scenario that would make me want to attend but with the lineup not "lined-up" to my tastes and the fact that probably the band i like the most on that lineup playing at noon….this is where i fold…i'm out

hope for better luck next year.

(anyone have any spare pavilion seats to the 8/12 Radiohead show they want to part with?)

seeing the line-up finally posted makes me realize how few of the acts i actually want to see… oh well hopefully Underworld and Sharon Jones and the Dap-Tones will tour some more… and see iggy going up against hawtin made me cry inside…

Hmm. That first day is really sparse. I could only think of 5 bands I'd be interested in, and two of them (Swell Season and RyG) I'm not even all that interested in.

The second day is definitely worth it, even though whoever picked BRMC to open the day is a moron. They should get 1 hour, not a lame 45 minutes opposite a band playing their first show.

My potential schedule:

Saturday:
12-12:50 Cat Power (nice slot! she's shy)
2:15-3:05 Swell Season
3:45-4:35 Bloc Party (very nice)
4:35-5:25 Rodrigo Y Gabriela
8:15-10:00 Foo Fighters (a full headlining slot)

Sunday:
12:-12:45 BRMC (how can they fit everything into 45 minutes?!)
12:45-1:30 Chromeo (wow. great start to the day)
1:30-1:55 Shudder to Think
2:35-3:25 She & Him (looking forward to Zooey)
4:50-5:15 Iggy Pop
5:15-6:15 Black Keys
6:20-7:35 STP (might leave early for Dylan)
7:35-8:00 Bob Dylan
8:05-10:00 NIN (wow! I hope the visuals are the same as they currently are using)

Ouch, BRMC first thing and only 45 minutes? Damn, that hurts. I wonder if it has anything to do with them needing to be in Toronto the next night.

I have a feeling that BRMC is early as a ploy to get people to show up early to the festival.

I wonder if Chuck Berry's health problems will come into play for V Fest? He skipped out on 2 concerts this weekend. Let's hope if he can't go there is a backup.

I'd go with STP. It's hard to understand Dylan when he's singing nowadays….

Apparently Berry skipped those concerts because of an argument he had with his daughter. One article I read said that he was "sulking" after his daughter told him not to drive so fast.

I love the way Dylan sounds these days, but I've already seen him lots of times. I've only seen STP once, and there's a good chance they won't be around much longer. STP is the obvious choice for me, but it's still disappointing I can't see both.

Mega-lame question, but is it possible to get the FYE tent autograph signing schedule before the show? Lollapalooza released theirs.
