I am actually amazed at how fast the tickets are selling this tme around. Every year I went, it didn't sell to capacity. I even lined up outside to get my tix in 1999 and 2001 thinking "it's gonna be so massive it'll surely sell out in 10 minutes!!" I was so wrong! The first year I went in 1999, it wasn't near capacity, especially on the Saturday (Sunday drew a larger crowd) and people wondered if Goldenvoice might have lost money taking on something so huge. With each year, it seems to gain a bigger draw which is good in some ways, bad in others. There's nothing worse than scrounding up for something only to find out you're 2 cents too short, and 2 seconds too late.



Glad to hear you got your tix, Bosco. Better to plan ahead and better safe than sorry.



I will not be making it out to the fest this year, but I still would love to meet up with you and irish fan and whoever might be pooling together for this. Maybe on a Saturday night after the show, stash and I can come knockin on your hotel room door. We can bring booze, and party like rock stars!!

That would be super cool if we could meet up on that Saturday night! I might just get out Coachella earlier on Saturday night if it ends up being Red Hot Chili Peppers and Tiesto closing the night .



Hey Irish Fan whats your plans? Are You Still going? And Same with you Madpooter, whats the dillio?

can't make it this year even though 2 of my friends are heading over as my final exam is on the first day of the festival

awww... too bad man, would have been cool to meet you.

OMG, i think im gonna hurl! They're putting Titso on the main stage

That is the best news you could possibly have! That means you're going to get rid of all the trance-pansies and have a packed Sahara Tent full of nutters for whoever closes out the night. And, given who else is on the Saturday lineup dance-wise, I think they'll be looking to make a big addition. I can't see Justice, LCD Soundsystem or MSTRKRFT headlining the tent, regardless of how good any of those three would be.

True.



Plus, according to the chemicalbrothers myspace, they are gonna announce new tour dates next week!

The more I look at the lineup for all three days, I just want to cry at not being able to come. So many bands I want to see. So many up-and-comers who are going to have their moment in the sun (literally). I think most of the main stage acts will be weak, but the Mojave Tent and the Sahara are going to be freeking pumping all weekend. Seriously, stake out the tents like your life depends on it once you've got a good water supply and a cup to pee in.

you might see alot of those up and coming groups at that toronto V festival... depending on the lineup I would like to go....never been to Canada

When's the V Festival? (And to be honest, Toronto's a lot closer to you than it is to me. But if you were heading out there and the lineup was good and I had some spare cash I'd give it consideration.)

its september 8 and 9th



they snagged Massive Attack last year, but they had to cancel due to a delay with receiving their visas.

I'm back in school then, but depending on who's on the lineup I'd consider missing the first week of class.... Hopefully Branson makes it interesting.

o god, just checked out what tickets are going for on ebay and a 3 day pass is going for $700 and up. 8O Thats just wrong! Im so glad I bought mine early.



1 sunday pass is going for $300 and up :o 8O NUTZ!

Wow. That's amazing. I feel very lucky things worked out as they did in 2005 for me. It was nearly a last-minute decision. I think I made my arrangements about 3 weeks before the festival.

BTW, Im going to San Francisco after the festival. Any cool bars/clubs I should know about? Im going to be there from May 4th to May 14th. 8)

Recommendations for San Franciso:



When the time gets closer, check out who's spinning/playing at Ruby Skye, The Mezanine, and Club 1015.



Other than that, eat at Restaurant LuLu.
