Terrible. I went to this a few years back. They have beer garden "prisons" way way back from the stages and won't let you leave them with drinks.

Lineup looks pretty decent. I mean, if you ignore Black Eyed Peas. But some of the smaller names are pretty good.

Where's AFI, Animal Collective, Social Distortion, Thrice, Taking Back Sunday, or Tiger Army?????? They don't even have good hip hop acts. The Black Eyed Peas???? Really. The only good bands on this list r silversun pickups and band of horses. Everything else is terrible. What a disappointment.
