For the first time in a long time, there are more shows I am excited about than festivals. Hopefully, Silversun Pickups will be at a festival (or added) that I am going to (since I am not going to Hangout for like 5 bands) or will play the Civic. :)
Agreed! David Gilmour, Roger Waters, Will Smith, Van Morrison, Tool and Primus, Bruce Springsteen, Coldplay, Duran Duran and CHIC, Dead and Co., The Cure, Black Sabbath...That's a lot of good, big name tours.
Free tip, don't waste your money on Van Morrison. He's a mess.

Thanks. I would still go for a reasonable price, but $60 for lawn tickets on the other side of Atlanta like he just announced....no thanks. Good to know that waiting was the right call.
Well, it doesn't look like anyone is going to drop a lineup that I like this year. Bummer.
Don't forget about Levitation.
This is just the first wave of a few...
And Moogfest did really well too earlier today...
And Levitation said they're full lineup announcement was just around the corner. Not sure if that means before year end, but it wouldn't surprise me with how early lineups are coming out this year.

I've always heard it's feast or famine with him...reviews I've seen in passing the last few years have been good...as yet there are not a lot of shows so hopefully he stays in whatever state he needs to be good.
What are the highlights of the Moogfest lineup Radius Claus?
It's pretty stacked. Quick initial run through of the lineup:
Disclaimer: I am not radius clause and no one asked me.
Empress Of Grouper Oneohtrix Point Never Tim Hecker Blood Orange EITS Sun Ra Arkestra Laurie Anderson sunn O))) GZA Ben Frost SMD Moses Sumney Laurel Halo The Orb Julia Holter Floating Points Bicep Dawn of Midi Daniel Lanois
Got my Wilds mixed up. I love Wild Child and looking forward to seeing them on the beach, or across the street from the beach, but the band I was confusing them with was Wild Fruit out of I think Tuscaloosa or Birmingham...
What are the highlights of the Moogfest lineup Radius Claus ?
This is why I like it:
Gary Numan is phenomenal live.
Gza was my favorite show at roo a few years ago.
Same with Son Lux at BIG EARS a few years ago.
Explosions in the Sky, Blood Orange, Reggie Watts, Sun Ra Arkestra, actress, Ben Frost, Grouper, Julia Holter, Laurel Halo, The Orb and Bootsy Collins are all cool to me.
And Daniel Lanois has produced some of the biggest names of all time and is great in his own right musically.

My lack of interest in Moogfest is rooted in ignorance of the bands playing, not disdain. I've only ever listened to three of those so I'll give the rest a listen. Thanks for the suggestions.
And in my house Pops was Radius Clause, so it's cool.
beachbob That makes sense now that you mentioned them being a "couple" and having a female drummer, which Wild Child does not. Gonna checkout Wild Fruits anyway.
Another Wild for ya and FFF throwback for me ne215 and myself. Not sure if they ever replaced the rapper.
There is some really good on that lineup, but like everyone else has said, we have all seen them a bunch. I love Glass Animals, but the need to see them for a fourth time on the same album tour doesn't appeal to me. Their first three sets I saw, were all exactly the same. Sylvan Esso same thing, I LOVE them but I saw them three times last year. The set was varied but not by much. There is only so much variation on one album you can do.

I would add that Laurie Anderson is the shit live. She did the score for the movie Birdie with Nicholas Cage (probably my favorite movie he starred in). She had sort of a minor-underground hit in the mid 80's with Sharky's Day which featured Adrian Belew (then of King Crimson and The Bears). She is an exceptional keyboardist and violinist. Strange, but great.
Also I saw Daniel Lanois' first show ever right after he released Acadie. It was at the Jazzfest back stage which I think goes by Gentilly or whatever now. It was on the heels of the production of U2's Unforgettable Fire and Joshua Tree (both co-produced with Brian Eno). He had a studio here in New Orleans where he was living at the time and put together this sort of French Canadian tribute album to the future (e.g. Louisiana). That's Acadie. We saw him a year or so later also at Jazzfest again, and that show was also pretty special. It's more of listener music than getting down stuff obviously.
She also did that duet with Peter Gabriel (Flying Birds/Excellent Birds)

cmack, is Levitation the fest you posted a video of panties or something being dropped?
That was UtopiaFest Sept 29th-Oct 2nd. That is the same weekend as ACL 16' which will be interesting but I have my ticket purchased already. Here's another video! RAAAAHHH

He didn't mention Silver Apples and therefore is not to be trusted.

I can't tell because almost all of whoever is DJs on that list would be sort of abstract. None of the top 5 are unless you count Odesza. Quintron and Miss Pussycat sort of is, but that's more sound invention. Obviously Ryan Hemsworth is. Blood Orange is Devante Haynes solo project but I don't think edm (could be wrong). Silver Apples is as old as I am practically. As best as I can tell, most of the production work would be more sound engineering than typical party DJs. I'd dig closer if I lived anywhere remotely near Durham.
The Bluesfest down under looks amazing. If only Bonnaroo could snag some of those I'd be soooo happy. I'd scam a car parking deal for a day ticket. I'm done with flying long distances so not going to Bluesfest. Great lineup though.
Jazzfest always seems to book my kind of music. Anybody travel to Jazzfest from out of town, do the hotel thing, and only drop $1000 or less?
Anybody have a good experience lately with blues fest in Memphis? Last time I went to Memphis in May I got food poisoning. Not good. I heard Memphis is hosting a blues contest in January that might work.
Watched Ellie Goulding on The Voice last night. Hmmm,. Just ok. Her really breathy vocals were fine for TV, but hope she brings the harder stuff for the beach.
She sounds great on the Victoria secret thing tonight. Weeknds there too.
