No wonder tickets jumped up twice as high this year. My wife adores Postal Service. I was hoping for Purity Ring.
That is a pretty sweet lineup. The past couple years have been weak, imo, but this is the best one yet.
The original 09 lineup with Explosions in the Sky, Broken Social Scene, and Of Montreal was pretty sick. Flaming Lips the next year was awesome. Last two years I've had no interest in going. This year they must have gotten some real sponsors.
Does anyone run a booth at Summerfest? I seem to recall maybe somebody here was a vendor. If so, please send me a message or email, I'm interested in knowing more about it.
This line up is crazy good. Haven't been in the past couple of years, but I definitely won't miss this one.
