This is a sick lineup. After all, these festivals are not about the headliners. We spend most of the day watching the other bands and I have no idea how I’m going to fit so many incredible acts into my schedule. The Pogues, Tricky, Flogging Molly, Bad Brains, Against Me!, George Clinton, The Gaslight Anthem, Lucero, K’naan, Public Enemy, Thievery Corp, Franti, BSS, Randolph, DeVotchKa, etc. Sick!
im still feeling like there are headliners on the horizon. but that’s just my optimistic viewpoint.
These might not be strong headliners, but almost all of these bands are really strong live. Last years concert was made by the mid tier bands more than the headliners(IMO) and Thievery corporation was certainly the best band I saw that entire festival. 120 bucks for all these bands, if I lived nearby, I would be ALL over this.
I agree that these are not super strong headliners, however Thievery Corporation most certainly was the highlight of last years Langerado for me. I would not consider myself a huge fan of theirs either, but they stole the show from any and everyone and really impressed the hell out of me. In fact, last years show was really made by the mid tier and not so much the headliners.
deff a step backwards
If the headliners didn’t look like they should be middle tier as well this would be a good line-up.
The middle tier of the lineup is not bad at all. It is just the headliners that are the problem.
It’s a bummer, but mainly because of the headliners. This is still a great festival with some excellent, excellent mid tier bands. If I was still living in Miami, I’d be ecstatic about this, but I wouldn’t travel for this… yet. I still think there are some headliners to be added.
talk about not worth the wait.
