Dfest

Surely they'll have a better headliner.  Sounds like Davit Souders' personal interest and not anything that will really drag people downtown.

I'll go see Zappa.

The local selections are excellent as well.

wow, as a huge dfest fan, i'm a little disappointed in this line-up... underwhelming... i hope the other national acts will be more exciting...

[kylieosu]

If anything, GO SEE GHOSTLAND OBSERVATORY!!! I am SO pumped to see them on the list. They are amazing live.

[sgrizzle]

I like it being more diverse. I like DFest and I understand the flaming lips are a big draw, but I just never liked them personally.

[brunoflipper]

while some are pretty decent, almost all of the local/regional acts can be seen any given weekend in t-town...

and dweezil doin his dads stuff is just, well, pathetic...

THE DISCO BISCUITS.

And Zappa Plays Zappa?

Better than last year already.

Count me in, tDB will be an absolute raging dance party.

Disco Biscuits - Skip to 2 minutes. Enjoy.

Helmet and Paramore is also worth a look. Will we   see SGrizz at these shows?

ghostland observatory should be very cool...
while paramore is cute and mildly entertaining and ,back in the day, helmet could rock... the line-up still just seems lacking to me... but then again, i hate jam bands... hopefully, the numbers will turn out...

Jam Bands fans are willing to travel to see shows.  This line-up will be a huge draw.  ZPZ is one of the best live shows going right now. If you think it is pathetic, then you haven't seen it. Flaming Lips are wildly popular - hard to find people who don't like their live shows.  Disco Biscuits, I'll admit, are an acquired taste (not a fan of their vocals), but they have a VERY dedicated fan base and are a great dance party.  I have friends already planning a drive from Albuquerque this year to see the shows.

I'm a little under-whelmed so far, however the Zappa thing sounds very interesting.  This is only the first round of listings, so hopefully they will announce a big-time headliner in the coming weeks.

i realize the dedication of jam band followers... that is why i said "hopefully" they'll turn-out... ****, i'm stocking up on pbj right now and will sell them in the parking lot for 50cents a pop... i'll make a fortune...

as for zpz? yikes, you are correct i have not seen him nor would i... a d-list musician playing his dead fathers music? sounds like a crappy vegas show...

never liked zappa but what in the hell do i know...

want an impressive line-up with zpz?
this line-up rocks

I am just happy I got tickets to go spend an evening with Ween at Cain's.
