I desperately want to go to this. Muse, MGMT, Spoon, Phoenix, Porcupine Tree, Yann Tiersen... and a few others. Thom Yorke would be nice to see as well.

I likely won't go, though. I'm already spending a lot of money to go to Infinitus this summer.

I can't go and wouldn't if I could (there's only maybe.. two or three in there that I'd see) but I strongly urge anyone going on Saturday to see Faith No More. They are breathtaking live.

I hate that the festival is so far away from L.A. Seriously, could the location be any more obscure? :grumble: Then there's the fact that it's expensive because a person has to attend all three days. Gah.

I would do anything to go, however. :( Such great bands will be performing.
