1:55, totally agree! I live in Philly and I watch this lineup decrease in value every single year. 2009 had Public Enemy and Black Keys. 2013 has Grimes. Sad

this festival is like $40 for early tickets. why are people hating on this? if you like the roots then go and see a bunch of other bands as well. if not then don't.

How is the hummus in Philly? I was thinking about attending. Should I pack a lunch from Mamouns or is there something decent down there?
