Lineup dropping sometime on Thursday. For those unfamiliar with this festival, it takes place about 1 hour north from Vancouver, BC in a rather pristine location surrounded by the mountains. Squamish is known as one of the best places on earth for outdoor activities and is the Outdoor Recreation Capital of Canada.
They had a very strong lineup last year so hopefully his year is a repeat of that. They fall on a bit of an off weekend so hopefully they can rope in some top acts. Only a few days wait to find out. Should be interesting!
Has anyone been in the past? Would love some feedback as this is one I'd consider flying out to attend depending on the lineup.
2017 Shows Sam Roberts Band, Wilco, Local Natives, Ryan Adams(!), Chance the Rapper, Future Islands, Frightened Rabbit, TOOL, Field Trip Music Festival, Gary Clark Jr., Arkells w/July Talk, Gorillaz, Tom Petty, Metallica, Muse, Incubus, Lollapalooza (!!!),Kings of Leon, Deep Purple & Alice Cooper, Father John Misty, War on Drugs

Haha, why the hell is Brandon Flowers in the top 6?
Is this a serious question? There is way too much killers hate on this forum. His only other solo album Flamingo topped the UK albums chart. Not to mention the 4 killers albums that accomplished the same feet. The killers were putting out quality top ten hit after hit when everyone else in the US was still stuck on the likes of nsync and good Charlotte. The killers stayed true to themselves and have put out quality music for a long time. How many times did you hear "runaways" or "miss atomic bomb" last year? The killers are far from irrelevant, and Brandon Flowers writes the lyrics for those songs. Even if you don't enjoy his music, I don't see how any music fan can't appreciate what he's done.
Now go grab you a lady, turn the lights down low and let Mr. Flowers take you to the promise land.
I for one am excited about his upcoming solo album, hate on...

Take a deep breath, buddy. I wasn't "hating" on The Killers. I'm just surprised to see Brandon Flowers so high on a festival lineup. When a band's lead member tour his/her solo material, he/she usually doesn't show up very high unless he/she is more of a legend act. To answer your question, I heard "Runaways" maybe once or twice on the radio, and I never heard "Miss Atomic Bomb" on the radio. Mentioning those songs doesn't help your argument (whatever that even is) because they were weak singles from a weak album. I happen to be a fan of The Killers, but they are far from a spectacular band. They've done a great job of putting out good singles, but only have one great album. And by the way, Brandon Flower's last solo album sucked.

Damon Albarn wasn't even in top 6 at Roo. That man solo was quite amazing. I saw Killers at Lolla in 2013, and they were solid but after that set, they definitely made me realize that I don't need to rush to see them or Flowers solo.
Must See 2018 List: 1. Drake 2. The Cure 3. David Byrne 4. King Krule 5. Moses Sumney 6. Dua Lipa 7. Mount Kimbie 8. Perfume Genius 9. Yaeji 10. Big Thief
So obviously my musical taste is different than yalls, cool. Who should be ahead of him on this lineup? The only groups I could see would be hot chip,and maybe adventure club, porter Robinson, DFA1979, and slightly stoopid.
Here it is...
