you know, first of all I am pretty sure the festival organizers are pretty proud that Phish is playing their festival since they are the first band ever to be billed as playing two shows on the main stage. This festival would not even exist if it wasn't for the inspiration of the festivals created by Phish that led to superfly deciding to have festivals in the first place. Which, I might add, started the festival movement that we are so happy to finally have in the US. Just because a band doesn't fit into your hipster bullshit idea of what cool is doesn't mean that people aren't excited to see good music.

You posted the Lollapalooza lineup under the Bonaroo lineup also. (I know that's easy to do when festivals are so incredibly repetitive, but I thought I'd point that out)

Phish is playing (twice), but it looks like they're a bit prouder of Bruce.

I thought Phish was headlining Bonaroo?
