Jugs, I completely agree with you. My only problem is that with Grizzly Bear, Animal Collective, Deerhunter, and Tame Impala all on the same day, I would have to make some seriously difficult decisions. Please, Bonnaroo, just give us half of this..

Choosing between a great band and a great band is a much better problem to have than having to choose between a great band and sh*tty band. Or having to settle for something you don't really care about.

also P4k 2010 did rule. I originally only had Sunday passes and ended up hopping the fence Saturday and it was such a great time those two days. 2010 was the year I graduated from high school and got obsessed with festivals. I did Roo, Lolla and P4k that year and all three of those lineups were really really really good. Great time to break into the festival scene.
Gus walks into the retirement home where he gets blown up. Anybody that knew Apparat's music knew Gus was going to die because the song is called "Goodbye."

Ok. Suspense over. I was given the choice between this or p4k/Hopscotch/Mt Oasis. One trip. 5 days. Thats it. Ultimatly I decided on other trips. Budgets are tight and I'm gonna need to blow off steam.
I decided against it. While I'll salivate over the lineup, I'm gonna be pissed if I miss everything else going on in my life. Seems I'm growing up. :p
This is the most amazing lineup since Roo '11. Which is a shame because with all those guys being up there in Europe 2 weeks before Roo, it's unlikely that they'll make it all the way to the U.S. in time for Roo. My guess is most of them will stay there for touring/festival season, but who knows.

I know I'm in the minority, but this is what I think a perfect festival lineup looks like. The "big" names aren't that big - just really good. And then it's stacked top to bottom with great acts, many of whom aren't that common. Much better than the standard U.S. Big Festival pattern of "mostly the same subheadliners who are touring that summer, then a rotating cast of arena acts."
I see people on this board freaking out about Paul McCartney or the Rolling Stones. I couldn't really care less about seeing either - one of those acts atop a typical summer festival lineup does nothing for me, I'd much rather see something like this.
Which acts on that lineup aren't that common? The only ones I see are The Knife and Blur, both of whom might be at Coachella as well. I think The Postal Service will be everywhere this summer, Nick Cave just toured across the country, and MBV has been consistently touring the past few years.
Most of the undercard names are names I wouldn't be surprised to see on numerous festival bills this summer.
Um. Well, half of these bands I don't even recognize, so I won't mention those, but the following aren't typical festival acts, at least not fo U.S. festivals:
Apparat - Bob Mould - Blur - the Breeders - Daniel Johnston - Daphni - Dead Can Dance - Dexys - Four Tet - Goat - Hot Snakes - James Blake - Jesus and Mary Chain - John Talabot - the Knife - Liars - My Bloody Valentine - Neurosis - Nick Cave - Nurse With Wound - Postal Service - Shellac - Simian Mobile Disco - Solange - Swans - Wu-Tang Clan
Some of these may play in the United States. Hell, you might even see a handful of these acts at Coachella, or Bonnaroo, or Lolla, or whatever. But the fact that this many high quality, not-all-that-common bands are on one lineup is pretty awesome. And I've barely scratched the surface here.
