Really? why?
A quick glance at the line-up and I came up with these highlights for myself:
Ghostland Observatory, People under the stairs, tv on the radio, girl talk, fleet foxes, crookers, lupe fiasco, public enemy, okkervil river, the knux


I do agree that Bonnaroo does look better though.

Not this year, supposed to again next.
I heard something about getting rights to use the land again.

It's got the land but may have been too late to get it. The last I heard they said they might not have enough time to book quality acts.

I was actually going to make a thread like this. I've been thinking about going to Coachella again this year. I really want to see McCartney, last year I was so stoked to see Justice and they were so f****** awesome.

Coachella seems a bit weak this year, IMO. There are definitely some acts I'd like to see, but it could be much better. Bonnaroo looks pretty good though. I think I may be only able to see one music festival outside of Calgary this year, so I have my fingers crossed that Lollapalooza has as good of a lineup as last year!

The link below lists pretty much every major music festival around the world for the year, if the dates beside the name is '09 that means its updated with the 2009 line up and its pretty much confirmed, if the year is '08 then it means the acts have yet to be announced of the festival itself isn't confirmed quite yet.

Pemberton has been cancelled from everything I have read and heard.

You know what else really grinds my gears? The fact that edmonton doesnt have stage13 anymore. Greatest 3 summers of my life at those festivals.

I went to Miami with some buddies for the Winter Music Conference 2 years ago and if you like the genera of music its worth the trip 10 times over.
