Moogfest just announced their (mostly) final lineup for their keyboard-heavy jam festival set for Halloween weekend in Asheville, NC. They’ve added Panda Bear, Pretty Lights, Girl Talk and more to the lineup this year, a seriously awesome-looking festival based on the artist roster attached. Read on for the full details… READ MORE

The lineup for the Voodoo Music Experience was just announced. Experience, festival, whatever — it’s a music festival. The annual music experience festival has tapped Muse, Ozzy Osbourne and Weezer to head up the lineup set for New Orleans on Halloween weekend. Read on for the full massive list of artists set to play. There’s definitely some good stuff in there and could well be a good music festival to hit if you’re unlike me and eagerly awaiting any news of a potential Phish Halloween festival this year.

The schedule for Lollapalooza 2010 has been released, and there will be some tough decisions to make if you’re planning on attending the festival.
You’ve got a few of the following schedule conflicts to decide between:
- The Black Keys vs. Hot Chip – Having seen the Black Keys in the Lollapalooza setting, timed to coincide with the hottest part of the day on the biggest stage farther away from me than I had ever wanted to walk, I found myself blown away by their ability to captivate a rather large crowd. Many of us sat in the trees at the edge of the park and listening attentively to some dirty, blues rock to get us through the heat. If you’re at a point in your intoxication where dancing is your vibe, then you’ll be at Hot Chip. But I’m guessing a lot of you will be relaxing somewhere to take in The Black Keys, which is likely where I would be if I was going to make it to the fest this year.

Announced late last week, the Treasure Island Music Festival lineup looks pretty exciting, especially for someone like me who just moved to the Bay Area. I don’t remember hearing much about this last year but this year looks like a doozy. Check out the lineup…

I’ll definitely be there for this. Day one features one of my iPod favorites for the past year or so: TV on the Radio. These guys have a haunting sound that just becomes so infectious to me, and I end up getting struck on a few of their tracks before moving on days later. It just really grabs me. Plus, I’m excited about getting to see new stuff for me like Justice, Hot Chip and CSS.
Day two is an obviously strong one with The Raconteurs slotted as the headliners, and add Fleet Foxes, Spiritualized and Tokyo Police Club and I’m set. I’ll wonder if Vampire Weekend is worth skipping, then I’ll let go off my nonconformist side and just enjoy the light, airy pop music (with African rhythms! it’s world music!). I really can’t wait for this festival, though. We’ll be planning on covering this day in and day out.
