Pretty good line-up.  That kicks last years line-up azz.  m83, santiogold, protugal, the man, jack white, and future islands is a prett good day.  Never heard of Skrillex or nervo. 

checked out the names i didn't know….most of those appear to be DJ's or some shit….seems like the dance forest is really going to blow this year - just boring dj types, no interesting bands (like holy fuck for example)

edit: General Admission On Free Friday, August 24 at 12PM EDT on Ticketfly.com

also other than the no name dj types, pretty strong lineup i'd say

21st century a celebration of the lame

I like it.  Jack White and Nas were enough to get me excited about this, the rest is just icing.  Hum must've been busy; maybe next year.

Now to figure out how to get tickets.  Anyone know if it's safe to say there will be some pre-sales(frees) like in years past?  I remember seeing them, but never bothered trying as I wasn't able to go regardless, so I'm not sure well they worked for boardies anyway.

I would rather them have no name dj's and save the money for better live acts. 

Skrillex is probably free, considering he doesn't do anything on stage.

Otherwise, nice line up!

Just really REALLY hoping it's not through Facebook like last year. It says follow them on Twitter for the pre-sale information, I hope it's through their website or something, I wasn't able to get tickets last year through the Facebook thing. Such a pain in the dick.

See you guys tomorrow…I'm obviously not seeing anything better online the rest of the day.

i'm going . . . just to see zz top.

Sethy was on the air this morning talking about the logistics of the festival.  Said at first he wanted to make a latin rock festival but only one person in a million would show up being Hutch.  Also it's not a natural show for DC only if it was in Zimbabwe
;D
