Anyone ever been? Know anything about it? The lineup is pretty much like they got together and asked themselves what would Baloo and his wife like to see? (Well, if they could add the 'Mats).

Just saw it and it looks really great


Never been though. This may be my first year if I can convince some friends to go with me

Would really like to see white denim, Charles Bradley, deer tick, blitzed trapper, Portugal the man and lord Huron and there are several others on there I've never seen that look interesting. I'm assuming the third headliner will be outkast or maybe queens of the Stone Age


Basically, it is hangout with all the crap like tegan and Sarah (sorry T&S fans)

Tegan and Sara is one of the few Hangout bands I'm really interested in other than Modest Mouse. But this has a who's who of my iPod:

The National, Modest Mouse, Spoon, Gaslight Anthem, Violent Femmes, Cage the Elephant, Dropkick Murphys, Isbell, Trampled by Turtles, Dawes, Foals, Deer Tick, Hold Steady, Blitzen Trapper, Tokyo Police Club, Man Man... this is my kind of lineup.

I went last year and had a blast. Poured down rain both days, but it was an awesome music festival. It was held at O4W park in Atlanta and this year they are moving to Atlantic Station. Not sure how that is going to be, but they did add a third day. Looks like a great lineup once again.

White Denim is great, too. I skipped a few bands, the lineup is so good. Apache Relay is way down the bottom of the bill, and I think they rock.

This is definitely the best lineup that's been announced, just sucks it's so close to hangout. Can't compete with the atmosphere. Hopefully hangout can share some of these (Spoon!!) for their last 12 announcements.

No, I live in Dallas. But I'm tempted to fly to Atlanta for this. This is a great, great lineup and for a pretty good pricetag.

Great lineup but Atlantic Station will be an interesting spot. I'm not sure how it will be set up but most likely it will be entirely on concrete.

that sucks. i was looking forward to riding my bike over. bailed last year due to weather.

Great lineup but the third "headliner" they announced today blows. i mean i don't HATE Alabama Shakes but they do nothing for me and certainly aren't headliners. oh well. so many great acts that it doesn't really matter.

Yeah I was a little disappointed in it being Alabama Shakes. I like their music but I definitely don't consider them a headlining act at this point, there are bands below them on the bill that I would think are much more popular.

I'm still going to be buying my tickets today. I would love for it to still be in the Old Fourth Ward Park but this location will be ok I guess. The lineup is still amazing and a lot less expensive than Hangout. I just wish they had been able to get Outkast instead of Counterpoint getting them. But I get that Outkast doesn't really fit with the rest of the lineup.
