    Oh man, if they somehow did get Arcade Fire, how big would it be to announce that the day after they win a grammy for album of the year?

    Oh, by the way. Price goes up tomorrow with the line-up so buy now while its ridiculously cheap.

    Seriously, 20 dollars for a 2 day festival that pulls in headliners like the Flaming Lips is probably the best deal I've seen for a music festival.

    Yeasayer puts on an amazing live show. I've seen them like 5-6 times over the past 4 years and they are always great.

    Yup! Cut Copy, Yeasayer, and Smith Westerns all confirmed via Pitchfork! I'm really excited

    Is Cut Copy big enough to be Saturday headliner or not? I'm not really sure how big they are.

    Have only heard a couple songs by Yeasayer and Cut Copy but have certainly heard those names a lot.

    CC is huge. They are more popular overseas though. They regularly have to play 2-3 back to back nights in places like NYC, DC, Chicago, LA b/c they sell out those 2,000 capacity venues. They never tour through the South at all, except for their rare SXSW performance in 2008. So this is rare indeed.

    CC is by far my most favourite indie band out there today.

    Line-up is being announced at 10:45 I head (11 at the latest). So you'll know in another 10-20 minutes

    Still checking twitter furiously, a couple people said they have it and are getting it up. Should be within the hour.
