American Festival Outlook
2-14 Florida fest news: Langerado's cancellation had some effects on Harvest of Hope. Broken Social Scene, The Faint, and DeVotchKa dropped, but they added Mountain Goats, Black Kids, and Tilly & The Wall. Langerado's cancellation had no effect on Ultra, however, cause they just added Black Eyed Peas and Shiny Toy Guns. Yeah man, I dunno.
2-12 Wakarusa added some artists. They're in competition with Summercamp for boringest lineup ever.
2-10 Stumbled upon McDowell Mountain Music Fest, this year headlined by The Flaming Lips and Michael Franti & Spearhead. Also added Deftones to Bamboozle Left, the funniest lineup ever.
2-6 Les Claypool and a bunch more added to Summercamp. It's still all jam bands and Girl Talk.
2-5 Langerado was cancelled. Looks like Death Cab and Snoop Dogg will have to find another project to work on together this year.
2-4 Fall Out Boy and 50 Cent to headline Bamboozle Left.
2-3 Bonnaroo lineup added. This one's a doozie. Bruce Springsteen/E Street Band, Phish, Beastie Boys, NIN, Al Green, everyone who's ever played Pitchfork, and many more.
1-31 Coachella, Bamboozle & Bamboozle Left, New Orleans Jazz & Heritage, Harvest of Hope, Ultra, Mountain Jam, Wakarusa, and initial lineups from Warped Tour, Summercamp, and ATP New York under the cut.
Sigur Ros Watch: looks like they're taking 09 off... or playing Lollapalooza.
