single day tickets don't go on sale until May 19th though and only if they are still available.

I'm awfully tempted by a one day VIP pass for the first day. Wonder if they have to be bought in pairs like last year, if it's will be even available when it goes on sale.

Do you think it will sellout in two weeks seeing as last years festival never soldout…

Thanks Seth! Great lineup this year!

What does a VIP ticket include?

My interest levels just went way up. There are definitely enough acts there that I'd love to see to make $200 bucks worth it.

I know it's much much too earlier to expect it, but any idea when the schedule is made public?

I totally agree, I mean… I had to hold in my cream when i saw the YYYs. Oh, baby. Totally going both days.

thats pretty gross.


but i think its a good lineup, and if i wasnt in Jamaica, i'd be there both days for sure.

nothing i'm going to regret missing for the rest of my life, but definitely two days of good sounds.

hope it sells well and goes off fabulous!

so i can go next year!

YYYs? or my cream?

interpol… check.
yeah yeah yeahs…check
MIA…check
AND pumpkins?

moisture achieved.

so does this mean they are kinda doing a "buzz life" tent like they use to do at the old hfstivals, hence sasha and digweed, crystal method, etc? DEEP DISH! now that's some rockin' news. i haven't seen them dj in a long long time.

The "buzztent" alone is amazing.

Who do we think are the mainstagers? I can see some heartrending choices between bands. There's easily 8 "can't miss" acts on day 2.

According to 311's myspace page

DC/BALTIMORE
8/5/07 Sun
Pimlico Race Course, Baltimore, MD (DC)
Virgin Festival
311 headline South Stage (75 minute set)
On-Sale 5/5

so it looks like thier set is the same time as the pumpkin's set?

I would guess they will play prior to the pumkins, not compete against them.

I'm hoping they compete. It would make the headliner decision so much easier than last year.

What is included with the VIP ticket? Anyone know?
