WHERE IS THE MARS VOLTA, DAMMIT!?
WTF? Not a single established electronica artist but yet they think we give a flying F*%& about KISS? Kick Gene Simmons 60 yr old ass off the stage and pay the money for Ferry Corsten, Markus Schultz, Tiesto, oakenfold…I will be spending my money in Dallas to see Tiesto this year.
they need avenged sevenfold or maybe coheed and cambria
Marshall: Street Sweeper Social Club IS on the lineup, check out the official site
Anonymous, if you want to get rid of them, let me know, just email me at jkimbrell@live.com since i won’t be checking back on this forum too often.
I might go to this next year. New Orleans is just that amazing.
A Lot of stuff is puzzling…
Why is the street sweeper social club/band just recent friends with voodoo on myspace but yet they aren’t on the lineup? Puzzling isn’t it.
Please note, the inclusion of Beastie Boys on the lineup posted above was an error. While there is evidence they may be playing, nothing is confirmed.
What an awesome line up! BEST ON YET, FOR SURE!
where’s Metalica?
Eminem and KISS, though not my favorites, would be an entertaining live show. Beasties and Jane’s will be great. Middle lineup is decent…and of course there is all that zydeco and jazz and shit that would be a blast. I’m giving this a little thought…mostly just cause I love being in New Orleans.
I should say that the beastie boys are not on the official list released by Voodoo as they are on this one
The Beastie Boys are not on the list there bud. I find it to be a disappointing list. Em and Kiss as headliners would have been great 10 years ago. Anyone reading reports about the Janes reunion should be worried that they can make it for 4 more months. They certainly didnt pull out all the stops
i’m pretty impressed just between the beastie boys, the black lips and the eagles of death metal i want to go. to bad proof is gone i would like to see a full d12 set
