Very Very nice lineup. Doesnt that make APW and Coachella look even more like shit even with Radiohead. They should have a festival like this in Ithaca NY. They have beautiful gorges in wide open areas. Would be beautiful.
Oh and J Tillman is so fucking good.

"Doesnt that make APW and Coachella look even more like shit"

Wait until Lollapalooza, Pitchfork and Virgin are announced. It will then make APW look like the weakest US festival lineup of all time.

im hoping all of you stay home for all points west now so i can have some wiggle room for radiohead...have fun in washington...

Excellent lineup. I hope Pela is back in action by then. they can definitely rock a festival crowd, and I think it is their first big festival show.

Kind of funny to hear all these comments on APW. I don't really look at it as so much of a festival. Just Radiohead with a shitload of openers really. Some good some bad. If you think back to 2001, Radiohead sold out two nights of that place with just the beta band and kid koala as openers. It's not more of a festival then one of those radio showcases that happen in other markets.
