I wondering this too, we have some pretty damn good acts but not a lot of big ones. Especially compared to last year
I am also with you there. No one seems to have an answer for it either. She doesn't have to give names, but out of curiosity I wish insider would come back and at least explain what happened.
My guess is they fell through and they're going to use money to book mid-level bands. Maybe it's wishful thinking, but it seems odd Insider hinted a major act was taking awhile. I doubt it was the Beach Boys, as AC already signed them for JazzFest so they've been down that route only a month or so ago.
And I still find it odd the lack of 2nd tier names. Last year we saw Primus, MMJ, SCI, Wayne, PL, Bassnectar, Girl Talk, Strokes, Iron & Wine, Alison Krauss, Decemberists, Ray Lamontagne, Florence, Plant, Mumford, Buffalo Springfield, etc. which went way longer than this lineup in terms of big names after the HLs. Avetts are #6 this year...they were #17 in 2010. MMJ was 6 last year. What happened?
I think they spent way more on the headliners this year. I would guess eminem costs around the same as radiohead, but rhcp cost a hell of a lot more than AF and phish cost more than WSP. So they couldn't afford such a great 2nd tier
sooo i was reading through old posts here and saw a ton of people listed as guests. is inforoo broken or did some sillyness happen?
A handful of members deleted their accounts. There are a couple of threads in The Other Tent section of the board that will explain everything. Hopefully they come back at some point.
