@nah these bands simply haven’t gone on to become as popular as the bands you probably recognize from recent years’ lineups, young freshman or sophomore
@yeasayer is pretty lame.
@Conor This lineup blows in comparison to recent years.
@#26 but it will happen
and then next year someone will make that same remark etc
@Yeasayer Can we get Yeasayer in this lineup? Pleeease?
@naysayer yeasayer is on tour
@meh I heard that they are having a Vampire Weekend tribute cover band – “holidays for werewolves” or something like that. Should be rockin.
@Campire Beacon The cover band is actually called Campfire Beacon and they are pretty good. They even dress up like all the boys in the band and talk like them. Sometimes, it is hard to tell the difference between these amazing cover artists and the artists they are imitating. If one looks closely, however, the difference is obvious.
@this is not the time/ place for kitchen cabinet and secondly, vampire weekend played the bbq last year.
@mek why can’t they have a jam quartet or something? I can probably pick 5 people out of a lineup of 10 and have better sounding music than some of these guys
@and seriously, a jam quartet? that must be funny
@Win Butler Takka Takka has the date listed on their myspace. They’re going on after Daft Punk. Does anyone know what time Daft Punk goes on?

@I heard... They’re going on right before Led Zepplin.
@me wants the kitchen cabinet!
@The Miracles I second that emooooootion!
@however, I do not want the kitchen cabinet. i stored all my SPLENDA in there, so its just over-sweet, and a little fake seeming.
@also win butler is a talentless hack
@who said takka takka was playing? not on that lineup.
@GROUPIE WIZARDZ OF DA COAZT IS DA HOTTEST BAND EVA!!
aesthetic sense rox my sox!
@yesss megafun is kind of akron/family and awesome!
@the special guest is Daft Punk
@yeah if only!!!
@hniuk wizards of the coast is queerz
@fan Pretty impressive lineup. Dunno how good Japanther’s gonna be outside of a dark, enclosed space, but Videohippos and Takka Takka are both money. Great job BAR!
@Win Butler Bwog —
Can’t be Vampire Weekend. They’re at Coachella that weekend.
@Win Butler And isn’t it on the 26th?
@wait wizards of the coast? a band named themselves after magic the gathering?
@Win Butler Why isn’t Takka Takka listed?
@Takka Takka coz they’re gay
