Jack White and who else? Guided By Voices?
Virgin Freefest 2012
so i'm seeing Sept 8 as the date… a lot. but no one has a source. everyone just seems to know/agree on 9/08. is it some sort of "worse kept secret" situation here?
haven't seen about JW headlining. can't say that White is a big draw for me, but i'll be there regardless. freefest is always one of my summer highlights. they could switch to an all-polka format and i'd still be there. i'd spend less time at the main stage, but i'd still be there ;D

beach house?
Is it bad that I would actually be excited about an all polka day at Merriweather?

I've missed free-fest every year because of weddings I could not get out of. A month ago, my sister announced she's getting married the weekend of September 8-9th in Las Vegas.
I'd say that's concrete proof V-fest is that weekend… if there is one.
Let the planning begin.

i can't hate - i'm half slavic, so i'm genetically predisposed to the 1-2-3, 1-2-3, 1-2-3…
I have to skip it if it's on the 8th.
Mission of Burma day!
Unless I could find someone willing to leave early enough to do both.

Gotchya is already playing MPP on 9/30
My one request…..AT THE DRIVE-IN
they are teasing "exciting news". Tweeting things like "Stay tuned for Transmissions"
Fingers crossed for Free Fest!

Seriously!? I missed that tweet…
Okay, so no Jack White, I guess. How about the Flaming Lips? Have they played a Freefest before?

they played the first Virgin Fest, at Pimlico. their last show in the area was at MPP - i wanna say 3 years ago? would be a solid headliner, IMO.
tool, if possible

Sounds like you might enjoy the Firefly music festival. I am guessing no band playing that festival would be allowed to play free fest.
Flaming Lips at festivals take way too long to set up. Saw them in a park in Chicago in 2003 and they played a full set then, but only played 5 songs at Coachella. Maybe they're a little more timely now since it seems like they only play festivals and the occassional one off show now…

I saw them there too! Cubs Care Park next to the New City YMCA next to the still standing Cabrini Green near Division and Halsted! That was pretty sweet, that was the third time in one month I saw the Lips.
Not real keen on seeing them again, unless they play tons of Soft Bulletin.
Awww, come on! Not even a hint? A tease??
