thanks to Pfork for the handy list

GUYS

vote for yr favorite summer festival lineup,
THEN post about festival experiences here! (esp. for small fests w/o their own threads)

so, what's everyone going to see??

stephen, Saturday, 24 May 2008 22:09 (seventeen years ago)

can somebody compile a list of all these that are in the south so i know where to road trip this summer

and what, Saturday, 24 May 2008 22:34 (seventeen years ago)

you can search by state abbreviations with a comma in front, it works well; for example ", TX" without quotes, brings up all the Texas festivals for me.

stephen, Monday, 26 May 2008 20:55 (seventeen years ago)

Indietracks Indietracks Indietracks Indietracks Indietracks.

I may even actually go.

Dom Passantino, Monday, 26 May 2008 20:57 (seventeen years ago)

Supersonic

Herman G. Neuname, Monday, 26 May 2008 21:01 (seventeen years ago)

Primavera looks pretty good this year, too bad I'm on the other side of the world -- Young Marble Giants, Public Enemy, Animal Collective, Dirty Projectors, Boris, Dr. Octagon, Mission of Burma, Clipse -- I'd love to see that lineup!

stephen, Monday, 26 May 2008 21:03 (seventeen years ago)

or how about Meltdown? -- Massive Attack, Gang of Four, George Clinton and Parliament-Funkadelic, Dälek -- not bad!

stephen, Monday, 26 May 2008 21:05 (seventeen years ago)

Roskilde has a formidable big three -- Radiohead, MBV, Jay-Z -- and a bunch of great support acts too!

stephen, Monday, 26 May 2008 21:10 (seventeen years ago)

Supersonic Festival (Birmingham, England) - Battles, Earth, Merzbow, Harmonia, Max Tundra, Parts & Labor, Oxbow, Dälek, Efterklang, Harvey Milk

WOW

stephen, Monday, 26 May 2008 21:11 (seventeen years ago)

supersonic's lineup is officially the best lineup ever. Asva, Guapo and Keiji Haino are playing too...

m the g, Monday, 26 May 2008 21:13 (seventeen years ago)

I'll say Primavera, as I'm about to go to it and it is stupidly good. Indietracks has a largely fantastic lineup too (and I will be at that).

Mister Craig, Monday, 26 May 2008 22:37 (seventeen years ago)

melt! and redfest look cool as does primavera but i think i'm voting for sonar

J0rdan S., Tuesday, 27 May 2008 00:20 (seventeen years ago)

in actuality if i was anywhere near baltimore i'd go to virgin fest cuz i'd take one set of kanye and one set of lil wayne over most of these whole lineups

J0rdan S., Tuesday, 27 May 2008 00:21 (seventeen years ago)

if the pitchfork v. atp fest was on this list i would've voted for that tho

J0rdan S., Tuesday, 27 May 2008 00:23 (seventeen years ago)

in actuality if i was anywhere near baltimore i'd go to virgin fest cuz i'd take one set of kanye and one svelte of lil wayne over most of these whole lineups

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

ILX System, Friday, 30 May 2008 23:01 (seventeen years ago)

Demf was the shit this year, if you count the afterparties. It really made me fall in love with electronic music all over again (cheezy to say but it's true).

Mutek line-up seems kind of boring and nothing you wouldn't expect. I'm passing on that one this year. Going right from Detroit to Montreal made me koo-koo last year anyway.

Next year we should have a demf fap!

saudade, Friday, 30 May 2008 23:31 (seventeen years ago)

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

ILX System, Saturday, 31 May 2008 23:01 (seventeen years ago)

At least we've solved that

Dom Passantino, Saturday, 31 May 2008 23:05 (seventeen years ago)

worst poll i've ever made
