I'm really glad Muse has embraced the buttrock circuit. It just feels right. At some point the lead singer will leave to record a solo album and the last 2 Muse guys will probably form a band with some other free agent singer (Scott Stapp plz) and play even lower on the bill on seedier regional HARD ROCK fests with a knock-off name like "Amused" and talk about how they are "getting back to their roots." And i'm here for it.

these lineups are all depressing. I think it’s what’s to be expected of most big fests at this point, though I am curious to know what would make these lineups less depressing to you?

1. Not recycling the same 5 headliners 2. Not being almost uniformly white/male 3. Not stacking the middle tier with the same middle tier from ten years ago

That's been the case for a couple years at least.

From a gender perspective The National festival is diverse with The Breeders, Feist , Julien Baker, Alvvays and Big Thief. That’s 50% of the lineup.

Not stacking the middle tier with the same middle tier from ten years ago I definitely agree, and while I benefit from the last point you made since I wasn’t going to fests 10 years ago, it does isolate a very specific group of people who would be going to more if they didn’t feel like it was full of rehashed artists. Here’s hoping Lolla decides to deviate from all the same white dudes.

I like Rival Sons more than Greta, but both pale in comparison to Kingdom Come in the off-brand Zep replacement game. everyone forgot about Parlor Mob, huh? I still listen to the Parlor Mob a lot for some reason.

The more depressing thing with that is the had the opportunity to book literally any act they want and just booked 10 acts that could play lollapalooza.

It's basically a mini Eaux-Claires I'm really not sure what you were expecting.

I would take good 2009 rehashed artists over the majority of current acts that populate major festival lineups.

I was hoping for a more diverse lineup for Homecoming, and hopefully any adds reflect that. The focus on women is a nice change, though, and does parallel the efforts that ExC has made.

Oh well. Y'all have fun experiencing that fest from a port-a-potty because you decided to eat Skyline chili.

Eaux Claires had like 6 bands of that ilk and the rest were acts that would not be playing other festivals I went I'm aware who played

I feel like this discussion is pointedly ignoring the MusicNow sets.
Also, Alvvays only just put out their second/best album in the fall.
