added Michael Franti & Spearhead...nice one.
Also The Waterboys-they were the first concert that I went to without my folks back in the youth center! Great show.
Rachel Allen? does she sing while cooking? ;)

My tip is to eat lots of pies. There were great pies there last year.

Got my ticket, looking forward to My Bloody Valentine. Hopefully they'll add some more quality to the lineup too.

you got to pencil in
