Some great acts. Anybody saying this fest isn't incredible has got to be in denial. I'm not a huge fan of some of these bands, but they are all top notch performers and very well liked by a lot of people.
That's poor form. They had one ah-mazing album (and one great single) at the end of the 80s and have released no good music since. However, they deserve to co-headline a night.
Phoenix does not deserve to headline, but they have some great tunes so good for them. I'd have thought Modest Mouse or even Vampire Weekend were bigger.
I would strongly consider flying to America just for this line up but I'm too poor at the moment, sadface.
I was going to say the same thing about Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds.
I thought you were from Australia for some reason but obviously not. They released a bunch of good (overrated in my opinion though) albums back in the day. Were probably Australia's biggest indie-ish/alt band for a long time. Nick Cave sang a duet with Kylie Minogue for god's sake!
Cave has more recently fronted Grinderman; I believe their latest album was reviewed on here.
You people need to get a grip! If this festival was within 10 hours of me I'd be there. People have different tastes but basically a third of these bands would come close to haedlining smaller -- but still big -- festivals in their own right.
