    Getting my tickets soon.

    Flaming Lips are worth the ticket price alone.

    I also love Ra Ra Riot and Stars, so thats great.

    Don't know much about girl talk, but looked up a live performance, and it looked really fun and energetic. Looks like fun, even if the music sucked.

    As far as other bands, the only ones I have on my list to see are Uh Huh Her (Listened, sounded decent), Lucero (Heard decent things), and Slim Thug and Bun B (Just because). I don't really know the other bands there well, anyone else I should check out for sure? I'll probably just check out whoever has the coolest names if no one is playing that I know :p

    just FYI...there's a blind presale going on right now...$15 for a two day pass...$32.50 for "fancy pants"...in other words, around half off (more like 2009 prices).

    i'm going no matter what the lineup is, so it's a pretty nice deal.

    Yeah, gonna buy my tickets like tomorrow.

    Considering fancy pants is the same price as normal tickets this year (And the festival is more than worth 30 bucks judging from last year) and the lines to get in last year were awful, we decided to go with fancy pants.

    This years line-up was fantastic for a festival this cheap and I had an amazing time.

    Seriously this is one of the best values you can get as far as festivals

    Blind presale started. It's getting stupid expensive.

    Paid $20 a ticket for blind presale 3 years ago.

    These prices just don't seem worth it to me considering that:

    1. It's a two day festival (I paid $220 for 3 days of ACL 2014).
    2. All the big headliners making this year's festival rounds are committed to Governor's Ball on the same weekend.
    3. It's too damn hot.

    I'm going to hold off until I see a lineup, and even then, I might just try to find a good vantage point from my apartment parking garage.

    Got through on the $90 GA ticket. Fancy pants not really worth it to me. Entry wasnt any quicker (went later in the day) and I don't think i even took advantage of the A/C tent.

    Not a bad lineup but I'll pass on being in 100 degree humid swamp with Aderall'ed up Skrillex fanboys.

    I would love to see Future Islands though.
