I'm too lazy to figure out how to post a picture so here's the list I copied and pasted. Spoiler'd for size.

Spoiler for 2013 lineup:

The Black Keys, The Flaming Lips, and Bombino would be my top choices to see at that fest. Bob Mould Band might be worth checking out and I've been hearing some good things about Alabama Shakes, so I'd probably check them out also.
The rest would probably be an audio crapshoot for me.

Agh I know, I'm not entirely sure what I would do in that situation, especially if it comes down to two artists I really want to see, I'd probably go see the first half of one and the second half of the other.

I think I'd like to see ALT-J, I've heard some of their stuff and they seem really good, I'm going to try and listen to bits and bobs from everyone who is playing so I don't miss anyone that will end up putting on a great show. Defo going to see Rihanna so I can eyegasm at her.

Do yous have any festival tips? Bearing in mind I'm in Scotland and it could either be ****ing roasting or flooded or just damn freezing haha.

Yeah, the Black Keys and the Flaming Lips are who would interest me in going. Alabama Shakes are pretty good, and I like the Joy Formidable and Foxygen's albums so I guess I'd want to see them. I've seen a few of the lesser known indie bands (ex. A Lion Named Roar) and they aren't bad. But there's still a good number of bands I don't - or haven't - listened to... ex. String Cheese Incident, Animal Collective, etc.

Whatever, I'll probably end up going anyways, haha.

The T in the Park lineup a few pages back looked pretty epic, for you people who are going to that or live over there.

A couple of local gigs are on the horizon with an 11 piece Reggae band called Mizzizi on Friday. Gotta support small local venues!

Gojira on the 23rd March too (me Birthday!).

ATL and Pierce the Veil in Chicago!

On April 17 I'm seeing Bonobo

July 4-8 I'm going to Ottawa bluesfest, a week long outdoor festival that hasn't been dedicated to blues in a very long time, however, B.B. King will be there. I'm also seeing El-P, Killer Mike, and Bjork. Needless to say, I'm stoked.

Madam Butterfly · 03-07-2013, 11:27 AM

KASABIAN in June, oh and PAUL WELLER in July! Can't wait. Foals aced it last night, great gig

Koan Sound and Opiou (hopefully) on the 27th of this month, just after Gojira on Saturday.

Saxon at the end of April is also penciled in.

I heard Foals don't really put on too much of an energetic show. They just stand around playing their instruments. So tell me, how are their sets brilliant?
