Hopscotch Music Festival

Potential for an Archers Of Loaf addition?

I kind of figured it was a misunderstanding. Weeknd would be super raw anyways and Weekend is cool as well.

Very solid lineup, if I was living in the south I'd be in. OPN, Ford and Lopatin, Barn Owl, Flips, Weekend....

It just seems to link back to the homepage, and I didn't see anything on etix site yet, but my overlook was brief.

I'll be holding off on tickets for a little while, for now, until I get the logistics of this wedding business down.

Did it sell out last year? If so, how long did it take? I would anticipate it to be sooner this year.

VIP wristbands, All Show wristbands, and Clubs Only wristbands all sold out last year. VIP within a couple weeks, All Show and Clubs Only I want to say mid-summer. By the end of the summer, the only thing left were tickets for the Plaza shows

Oh yeah, a night with GBV and DBT means I may or may not remember that show after it's done.

Beautiful.

Oh shit, I didn't see Lost In The Trees on there...

All of you, check them out... I saw them last year and they put on an amazing show. Great group of musicians. Must see.

Is VIP worth it? Were there any problems getting into the clubs shows last year?

EDIT: I'm actually considering going cheap and getting the clubs-only pass. The all-show pass is basically the $65 clubs-only pass, plus $20 each for GBV/DBT/Dodos and Flips/Superchunk/Light Pines. I know that's a bargain for both of those shows, but I will be seeing GBV and Superchunk at Pitchfork, and I'll cross of DBT and Flips at Hangout. I'm just a casual fan of all 4 of those bands, so once this year might be enough.

Are there other club shows going on during the Plaza shows? That might be the deciding factor for me. Odds are that I would opt for a club show over one of the Plaza shows anyway.

Prurient is definitely your kinda thing, Bishop. Brutal and noisy. There's a lot of artists on here that are probably your kind of thing, in fact (Rhys Chatham G3, Oxbow, Barn Owl, Liturgy, etc.). Just head over to the website and click "lineup," they have songs up from most of the artists on the lineup.

And yes, kyejwe, VIP was insanely worth it last year. It was a long wait for some of the biggest club shows last year, VIP more or less got you right in (sometimes you had to wait in a line a few people long). If you're going to be seeing a lot of the avant-garde/noise shit, though, I don't think you'll need a VIP ticket.

Hahah, I just checked out Prurient... they seem like direct descendants of Einsturzende Neubauten. I'll definitely have to see them.

kyejwe: Club shows start at 9, plaza shows end at 10

Thanks for the info, karosko. I've got a decision to make.

I feel pretty ignorant looking at that lineup...I only know a few bands and the Flaming Lips. I'm going to have to do some research I'd hate to miss out on shows just cause I don't know who any of the bands are yet.

I was there for both Best Coast and Future Islands! Admittedly, I did want to see Cults who played before Best Coast, so I was at that venue about an hour and a half before Best Coast even started. Future Islands was not a problem to get into. I maybe waited 3 minutes for it.
