[.]

Wow, great adds...

AnCo, FlyLo, Jane's, Peter Murphy, Wild Nothing, Tanlines.... damn.

[Yo Soy JBoy]

This lineup is actually starting to look pretty good, but it's been a promotional disaster. Truthfully though, it's a pretty interesting, eclectic lineup at this point.

I would love to go to this but I am going to be out of $ and vacation days after voodoo>FFF>bear creek. If anyone here does go, do not miss Dead Can Dance. Saw them at the Ryman last month and that was one of the best shows that I have ever seen. Lisa Gerrard voice is absolutely incredible. I get goose bumps just thinking about it.

They released a $99 pass valid only before 2:00 pm.

This is starting to look more attractive for sure, but unfortunately I just ran my credit wayyy up with Ultra tickets. So it's not in the cards for me right now. If the prices stay the same I might nab one in Nov.

[hiddenzombie013]

Wait, so you can buy the Art Pass, and it's only $99 for two days as long as you enter the grounds before 2 PM? That makes this a lot more attractive.

[Sgt. Blotter]

Damn I want to hit this up!
Furthur NYE in Frisco and WSP in the Dominican Republic in January makes this impossible.

GREAT lineup full of stuff for the old school goths.

[laggy]

I got a coupon code in an email today
Use "POPLIFE" for $25 off

That brings it down to $75 before fees.
I'm inches away from buying a ticket now. I'm going to give the weekend to think it over.

[laggy]

Is the billing wierd on this lineup or is it just me?

Is fun. really that big to be billed so high?
And, this is probably just me, but I've never even heard of Keane or Dead can Dance. Do they really merit billing above animal collective?
It's funny to me the highest billed artist I give a crap about is billed 10th (besides I guess kanye, though I'm not a huge fan)

[Phi]

Keane and Dead Can Dance have pretty big followings but arent very mainstream. You've def heard these 2 songs from Keane.

[hiddenzombie013]

Fun. is totally big enough for that slot by now. They've blown up big time, with We Are Young being #1 in the US for six (?) weeks, and Some Nights still at #4 after being on the Hot 100 for 34 weeks. I love Animal Collective too, but at this point, Fun. is the bigger name (remember, bigger doesn't mean better).

Also, I didn't know the first Keane song you posted Phi, but the second one was a total "OH, THAT SONG!" moment for me.

Wow $75 almost makes it worth it for me. I can't go Sunday but at that price may be worth checking out Saturday.

[schlonginus]

I paid $55+fees and drove 7 hours just to see Dead Can Dance 2 months ago, you cheap quuacks.

Good point. However cheap and broke are two different things.

FWIW that promo code is only for $15 off not $25

[hiddenzombie013]

The question for me isn't really a matter of price, but rather just making sure I have that weekend available. Once I get the go ahead, this is pretty much a guarantee for me to go. Especially at that price! And the drive is only 4 hours for me.

It was $25 they must have changed it.

[laggy]

screw it... I made the dive. I'll be there.
I hope they book a dubstep arena, as previously promised.
Future Sound of Breaks signed on to "collaborate" with UR1, and they usually book bass-music heavy line-ups
(https://www.facebook.com/FutureSoundOfBreaks?fref=ts)

I also hope they add more to the current top and middle of the line-up. It seems wierd having Lou Reed be number 2 (and on the second line).

[laggy]

We have our other headliner.....


Lenny Kravitz

....

[Sgt. Blotter]

Dead Can Dance is easily the best act on the lineup.

They have barely toured since the mid 90's and have a major worldwide following. They also haven't played any US festivals. I doubt the crowd will give them the respect they deserve and will probably be yammering throughout the concert. The show at the Ryman I saw this fall, you could have heard a pin drop in there.

Def in my top 10 concert experiences (out of like 400-500 shows)

[beachdreams]

Still deciding whether or not to just go to this. Lenny Kravitz, though? Wut.

I'm sure I dont have to tell you this, but, DO NOT miss Flosstradamus and Photek

[easymorningrebel]

FYI...No re-entry, just emailed them to ask... they responded right away.

No, there will not be any re-entry.

Thanks

[laggy]

I should have seen this coming.
There are rumors afoot the festival is cancelled

www.dubstep.net/blog/ur1-festival-to-be-cancelled

and it's all over twitter.

After this and Langerado, I can't imagine South FL will ever have another large scale non-EDM festival

[.]

wow

[Phi]

Hahahahahahaha so the rumors we started all those months ago were true?

[.]

Phi's self-fulfilling prophecy. Ya guys cursed 'em.

[iamthehorn]

Yo Phi, prophecize me up a 4 hour Prince set at Roo.

[Phi]

Sorry, I'm only seeing a 4hour Skrillex What Stage set in the stars!
