@LostTurntable i think the presence of Tool and the Beastie Boys might nullify your argument.

Great line-up this year. Last year was too huge with NIN/Kanye/Radiohead/Rage and attracted far too many douchebags. I think the d-bag quotient will be a little lighter this time around.

Are The Killers a bigger act than both the Beaties and Jane’s at this point?

I have a feeling I’m going to be seeing a lot of the daytime shows…the headliners not so much (except for Depeche Mode, the BB’s, and Lou Reed).
Perry’s dance tent seems more promising than usual though. Maybe it’ll be bigger this year…and not under a tree?
It’s weird, this year’s lineup is just off for me for some reason. It’s probably a bunch of people’s dream lineup…

@drunkwithpowerBummer, neither are coming around me (NYC) though I think a date might be announced once the Bamboozle (which Rise Against is playing) concludes (due to the out-clause thing festivals have)

@2ironic4uYeah, I thought that was weird about Rancid. I live in Chicago so I hope they just play a show somewhere else since I think this line-up is pretty whack.

Seems to be the most well-rounded lineup of the bunch in terms of “alternative” music (whatever that means) without having all those jam-band or boomer-rock detours. I’m surprised Rancid isn’t on the bill considering they will be touring w/Rise Against at the time

I for one am very excited. Lykke Li, Fleet Foxes, IDA Marie, even Depeche Mode.
