This rumour has made its rounds in the SP community as well, for what it's worth.

Oh, speaking of V Fest and the Pumpkins:
Bjork and the Pumpkins are confirmed as the headiners for V Fest Canada, in Toronto, Sept. 8 & 9.
search "smashing pumpkins" in ticketmaster for more complete lineups for each day.

I've heard 9/22 & 9/23 somewhere, which makes sense because I think V Fest Baltimore was 2 weeks after V Fest Toronto last year.
I wouldn't go booking a hotel room on a vague rumour though.

Because it's so hard to get out of a booked hotel date….

If you get a cheap rate through travelocity or something like that, you often cannot get out of it. Obviously a normal "call the hotel" reservation is easy to get out of.

hotels in "bawlmer" are pretty cheap already, actually!
and if you are looking for a room for VFest, i'd actually try towson. cheaper and just as close.

That is Yom Kippur. Don't think Seth wants the same headaches as last year.

2 days?
Camping there is a negatory and there's 0 hotels anywhere near Pimlico and the traffic getting to a from the course would be an incredible headache. But it comes with a 2 day festival.
Pumkins = $$$
Police = eh.
I mean i love The Police but i wouldnt be super psyched to see them. Rage!!!

Anyone know if the Police are coming to this area solo? Looks like Hershey is the closest so far.

i'm afraid of what the inlcusion of the police will do to ticket prices. i'd be interested in seeing them, sure, but they wouldn't be the main reason i'd hit vfest. if the police add $50-60 or more to the price of each ticket - i'd rather do without. i might be wrong here, but last year i believe there wasn't much difference in price between a one-day vfest ticket and a 2-day lollapalooza ticket. vfest draws bigger names that demand more $, so it's not quite apples to apples, but it does add a little perspective…

I believe a 3 day pass to lolla last year was somewhere between 250-300 or something…i think thats way off, but V Fest was 100 bucks a ticket.

I think you're way off. If you waited till the last week and bought a pair of 3 day passes, it might have approached 250.

Union Station, Washington, D.C.: Have you heard ANYTHING about a Police date in DC? I'm dying over here. Thanks.
J. Freedom du Lac: Sure, I've heard lots. So far, it's all rumor, speculation and so forth. Not that we're above trading in that sort of pseudo-information or anything. The date that keeps coming up is Aug. 4. If you're really dying to see them, don't book a vacation for that weekend.

I would love to see Daft Punk play the V-fest. Same with the Smashing Pumpkins. Also, add placebo to that dream list.
I have a feeling whatever seth is cooking up, it's gonna be awesome.
