No, she's not on the lineup anymore. She's opening for Coldplay at Verizon Center on August 3rd

I'd have to go with The Weakerthans. I seriously doubt you'd be disappointed.

Hilarious - we choose almost exactly opposite of one another on almost everything on day one, most things on day two (yes, I am serious about Brand New/EITS - EITS doesn't strike me as something I want to see at a festival, and Brand New rocks), and we're in line on day three. Given every other choice you made being opposite the one I was leaning toward (almost), I'd say you should go see the Whigs.

my real conflict (and there might be others im forgetting) is:
The Enemy (UK) vs The Go! Team
toadies vs sharon jones (im seeing her at summerstage - so i guess if i love her its a no-brainer)
Margot vs the Postelles
and The National vs Mark Ronson
i guess my decisions arent too hard, but honestly i forgot what half the other bands sounded like so i might have other major conflicts.
cant wait to see love & rockets!

according to the EITS website, "We plan on laying pretty low for the next year or so as we work on new songs for a new record. We have no idea how long it might take us, but it will probably be awhile."
i'd go with EITS if i were you.

The after shows are really good this year. Much better than last year.

new lolla map need to consult last year's set up, but it looks like there is a stage or two less this year - cool, less sound-bleed. might mean that crowding will be a tad worse, tho, given that the same amount of people have less places to go. addition of a beer garden serving craft brews is a nice touch. glad to see the wine bar is back.
only 2 weeks to go - woohoo!

I think I am going to do Lollapalooza this year instead of V Fest. What a line up… It also helps that i have a free place to stay the whole time.
Really excited for Mates of State. They are not playing many shows this year.
Anybody have two extra tickets to sell for the Mates of State/MGMT after show?

sorry, can't help you there.
just bought some battles/foals tickets earlier today. would have preferred a full set from BSS, but it's sold out. by going to battles/foals at night, i've at least freed myself up to see BSS at the festie.

Love and Rockets isnt a "black" band.
Black Keys, Black Lips, etc…
I might do the Foals/Battles as well. I missed Foals earlier this year in DC and really want to see them in a smaller club type venue.
