How the hell do Los Lonely Boys get billed above Los Lobos?

If Vampire Weekend wasn't the same night as REM, I'd go to that. I'll definitely go to the Stephen Lynch show.

not really anything to brag about this year.
Posted by Anonymous | April 16, 2008 4:38 PM
question-
how is the venue? packed? how many people do you think will be at the Vampire Weekend concert, and what time would someone need to get there to have a reasonable view?
also, is the summerstage the venue with the Ampitheater? Or is it just thousands of people standing in Central Park?
Posted by Anonymous | April 16, 2008 7:07 PM
its the amplitheatre...nothing on here looks that great at all except Los Lonely Boys and Stephen Lynch/Mike Birbiglia

Um, what happened to the rest of it? Neko Case? Yoko Ono? Annie Lennox? They definitely advertised other artists that are now not in the lineup.

Neko Case was last year I think.
