So theres a thread for what looks like each year. I say we create one in general and we just discuss whatever the next one is.

I'm a little hit-or-miss this year. The three headliners are Radiohead, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Phish. Thats roughly 1.5 acts I'd sit through. Beyond that there are a smattering of good acts interspersed between things I'm not really interested in. Here's the 2012 lineup: (in alpha order)
