Not sure how i feel about this lineup... i'm kind of meh on Jay Z and RHCP, very high on Gorillaz, don't care about Future, Bassnectar or Weezer, interested in Nas, RTJ and LL... MIA, Badu are good, Migos and Foster are bad... TV on the radio good, Two door cinema club bad......... and its pretty much like that for me all the way down the lineup. this is going to depend on the schedule for me. I hate how hip hop heavy this and Gov ball are turning out. just not my bag
TDCC are absolutely great live get outta here
Last album was really fun too. One of the remixes to Bad Decisions have become a party playlist staple of mine:

Im a pretty big fan of TDCC and I saw them at Echostage in DC and I was a bit disappointed. However I imagine they would be much better in a festival environment.

i wouldn't count on it. most bands i've seen are better at their own shows

I dunno, I saw them at a festival last summer and it wasn't much of a departure from their old shows. Plus they play heavy on their last album that was nothing special imo.

Echostage is probably the worst venue I've ever attended.

i saw RTJ down there, didn't see anythign wrong with the venue.. its no 930 club, but better than lots of places i've been to
This will sell really well. It'll probably attract a large number of NYC locals, really not much on here worth travelling for that you couldnt catch cheaper locally. I'm surprised they booked any alt/rock acts at all so enjoy the few that are there.

I dont understand how the IMP guys dont realize that the stage is way too low for people to be able to see the show. Im 6'3" and if im 25 people back even I am having a hard time seeing it all
can bassnectar be dropped so the awful bassheads can go elsewhere?
Just a prediction, but I dont think many of them will show up. Last year not many Pretty Lights fanboys came. Theres not much else on the lineup for them. Chances are theyll catch him at Bisco and save some coin.

Sound quality wise the venue is fine, but the overall experience there for me was really poor. Maybe it's just from being short but when I saw Chvrches there, I was nearly all the way in the back and couldn't see the stage at all. The venue was also so crowded that people were constantly bumping into me and just made me feel claustrophobic. I'm not sure if it's that crowded for all the sold out shows there. I saw TDCC at a sold out show at the Fillmore in Philly, which is a similar size, and it just felt more open there. More just a personal experience for me with Echostage.
Too hip-hop/rap heavy for me. I've seen RHCP before, and I'll be seeing Gorillaz in Philly. And there are only a handful of undercards that I wanna see here (Badu, TV on the Radio, Blood Orange, Broken Social Scene). So I'll possibly pass.
I still believe three festivals are too much for New York. I know it doesn't work that way, but If Founders is gonna have two festivals, maybe one of them should focus on hip-hop/rap/shizty EDM, and the other one should focus on having acts like Beach House, Badu, Blood Orange, Air etc. But I know it's never gonna happen.

i think i might just hope for a good single ticket for Gorillaz and call it a day
for the record, i think this is a good (if dated) lineup, just not a good lineup for me. its fucking stacked for hip hop
seriously though, RHCP, Weezer, Foster, TV on the radio, Two door ... Tegan and sara, none of these bands have done anything interesting in YEARS... wtf is goign on?
I really enjoyed the TV on the Radio album from like 2 years ago.
TVOTR still put on good shows. I think part of the problem with the majority of these alt acts is that you either just don't like them or have seen them at any of the hundreds of fests they've been at over the last several years. The clear winner here is rap.
Especially if you take into consideration the final two Outkast albums. Speakerboxxx is way too overlooked and imo was solid all the way through (unlike TLB). And the Big Boi songs on Idlewild were better than the Andre songs.
And of course Sir Lucious was a banger. Not a huge fan of Vicious Lies though.
They really need to drop that new album and give us a real tour. The show I saw them do for their Forgiveness Rock Record Tour, somehow that was almost seven years ago, was a real treat.

Guessing the new album will drop in the next couple of months. Edit: well slap my ass and call me Charlie.

Yeah, I kinda block out out Vicious Lies and Big Grams. But Sir Lucious and some of his various other singles, and you know, Outkast, should make him way more popular than he is.
how are these hip hop acts live? i think my main issue isn't that its so hip hop heavy, but most hip hop i've heard live is terrible to me. i liked RTJ live and Kendrick, but just about everything else i've seen has been awful to ok (Wu was awful) does anyone here play with a live band? i'm hoping De La will be good but they're up there in age
and wasn't Actin Bronson the guy who just asked for weed his whole set?

I actually think the way they're doing it is smart, they just could've booked some better acts for the indie/alt side of this.
