Interpol @ the virgin fest

The Virgin Mobile Festival in Baltimore is giving All Points West a run for its money this weekend. It’s also making me question when the next time I’ll get a good night’s sleep. In addition to all the All Points West coverage we’ll (attempt to) have here over the weekend, Bao Nguyen will be on the ground in Baltimore (again).

To compare: All Points West is three days. Virgin is just two. Both fests have three stages. Both fests have Jack Johnson as a headliner. Both fests have Chromeo, Duffy, Andrew Bird, Cat Power, Rodrigo y Gabriela and Underworld. All Points West has Radiohead – twice. Virgin has Wilco, Sharon Jones, The Swell Season, Foo Fighters, Iggy Pop, Kanye West, STP, NIN, Bob Dylan, CHUCK BERRY, and everyone listed in the schedule below…
