This was probably the last decent travelling lolla. Any of these bands would be a fine addition for vfest. The Flaming lips were the highlight for me. Beautiful day at Starlake Ampitheatre, shrooms, bubble machine and killer Lips live for my 1st time seeing them. Been a fan ever since. If there was one band from the above list to be at Pimlico please, please Shonen Knife!!
Im not sure what the overall consensus on modest mouse is in terms of popularity but I would hope they do not headline the indie stage and go up against the police.

I would consider it far more likely they're the "second" headliner behind SP on day 2. But we don't really have any idea which day they're playing.
i went to vfest last year and decided to upgrade to vip. wasnt worth it really. we had port-o-potties like everyone else. we were able to use the bathrooms in the grandstand and have air conditioning, but you couldnt see the stage there. also everyone that was in the grandstand area wasnt vip, luckily everyone didnt know about it. we could use the bleachers, but they are too far from the stage. the area that was roped off wasnt raised, it was the same level as everything else. i was lucky enough to grab a good spot not to far from the stage and had a great view of the peppers so i wasnt pissed about the waste of money.

i would love to see incubus at vfest

Where did you hear Modest Mouse was playing? I can't find info on the stuff anywhere. Has anyone else been added?

In the "Hey Seth" thread, people asked Seth to bring Modest Mouse to DC since they're skipping the area this spring, and Seth - who's booking VFest - responded that they were coming "in early August." People have taken it as a de facto Modest Mouse @ VFest confirmation.

LOL u guys are crazy…

i dont know who idlewild is (do not throw rocks at me)
I didn't think Incubus were all that popular these days. If they play, great. It'll free up the hour that I can spend drunk in the batting cage, if they have that feature again this year.

They had batting cages?

Where?
the batting cages were by the smaller stage
According to pollstar, Booka Shade is booked (no pun intended) for day 1.

I'm assuming the tent? Great techno/electrohouse act!

Silverchair and now Velvet Revolver confirmed. Yuck.
Are we sure this isn't a late April Fool's joke?
Where's the Silverchair confirmation exactly?
This was so promising with the annoucement of the Police and the Beastie Boys that I gobbled up a hotel room next to the racetrack. If they fill in the rest of the lineup with crap I'm going to be heartbroken.
It would be cool to add BT to the Dance tent but a Dance tent alone will not get me to the festival.
