We should be announcing quite a few more fests soon. Stay tuned.. Thanks
Their playing Waka the week before so while it's definitely not a confirmation I see it as positive. Or maybe he was just trying to deflect the question. Probably that.

hahaha i couldn't imagine living anywhere outside of good ol' Kentucky...or atleast no where near the north. I like being able to take a piss off my backporch while simultaneously poppin' off rounds.

I've only been emailing bands that I like that nobody else seems to have reached out to but so far I've got "hopefully in 2013" from Great Big Sea and Bleached.

Backporch? In Tennessee, we piss off our FRONTPORCH, and we don't give a fuck who sees! YEAH! BONNAROOOOO.
Oh man! I'm a few pages late but I am super psyched about the Avetts. Now if the rest of the line-up falls into place for hubby and I, we are definitely going.
Bigtime props to all you people getting this info.
But back to the Umphrey's McGee thing, Inforooster tweeted saying they are confirmed but I don't see anything in this thread, no e-mails or anything. What's the deal??
There was also some poster on here who claimed to talk to someone in the band or something like that.
Yea, I guess I was just subconsciously combining information that has been gathered across the board. I'll move them to unknown, since this thread is only supposed to be based on their email/twitter responses.
The old website couldn't take all the sources. Now they can lists as many as they want.
He was able to start listing us after we started feeding him fake info on purpose and laughing at him. Like ITM said at least he now cites us, before it was all take and no give, and it got obnoxious. People on here are dedicated, and tireless in finding this stuff out, to watch someone sit around and reprint it like he did all the work gets old fast.
This is why he should probably refrain from snarky little remarks about our ethics. He has certainly had his share of ethical issues himself in my opinion.
Oh yea....let's not forget he came here and told us that Neil Young would likely be playing Bonnaroo and then that didn't happen.
He did explain himself and all that but there was a lot of negativity over what happened in the past. I don't think people hate on him because of his site now. It's a great resource. There were just things that rubbed people the wrong way.

I like CoS. I never took things personal like some people did on here. And I won Bonnaroo passes from their "guess the lineup" competition last year... sooo... big fan.
-When I Hear My Name -Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground -Blue Orchid -Passive Manipulation -Red Rain -Death Letter -My Doorbell -Hotel Yorba -Same Boy You've Always Known -Lovesick -Little Ghost -We're Going to Be Friends -The Hardest Button to Button -Black Math -The Nurse -I Just Don't Know What to Do With Myself
Encore: -Ball and Biscuit -Seven Nation Army -Screwdriver
Bassnectar will not be playing this year. I talk to Lorin myself. Basically, AC doesn't book artist two much less three years in a row. He said he and the whole Bassnectar crew will be back soon. Just passing along info for anyone wondering.

Certainly agree with this^^, rdk, if the pretense for contact is that we're promoters/booking agents. That would just be wrong. I haven't read all the blast queries, so I can't be certain, but most that I have read come from the standpoint of prospective festival-goers, just trying to gain a heads-up on where to spend their bucks. Hard to take issue with that, alone.
Personally, I have no dog in the hunt either way. Several members here have done some really good work digging for line-up info, and I appreciate their effort. On the other hand, it's kind of pointless to perpetually hate on Alex and CoS for things that may (or may not) have been misconstrued a few years ago.
The people who do the heavy lifting rightfully deserve credit for it. But it doesn't have to strictly come down to Inforoo vs. CoS. Germany was run under an evil, totalitarian regime many years ago. But that would be poor reason to hate all Germans in the present.
Alex and company will (hopefully) become more amicable, as we become more amicable.
I think it's good, though, that you framed the question. Friday, comin' at ya.

Not a yes or no for Ben Harper: All of Ben’s shows are announced and posted on his web site. Best to keep an eye there for all show announcements. Thx.
What happens if my tee shot lands on a bird's back and he carries it out of bounds but then is attacked by a larger bird who grabs the ball and drops it in the hole? Is that still a hole in one? 'Cause that's how I'm gonna play it.

In those chats where people can pick any name they want?
No I don't think he ever came to any of our chats but he used to do a COS chat every once in a a while. I believe in one of said chats he called My Chemical Romance "the hottest band in America right now".
