Tickets start at $50 for one day. I wouldn't pay HALF that to see the majority of the people in this line-up. Sad.

At those prices, you might as well buy the three-day pass for $80.

i can only get excited about michael franti & spearhead and the long winters...hope they're on the same day.

Agreed, this lineup is mostly boring. I missed Raphael Saadiq earlier this year, though, and heard from a number of people that it was the best show EVER OF ALL TIME... so I might have to hit that up.

Sheryl Crow? Whose sponsoring it this year? 103.7 the Mountain?

If Modest Mouse does another jazz tempo set because they are so bored with their own songs I am going to storm the stage. Bumbershoot needs new blood behind the scenes, these headliners are tired.
