Does It Bore You? Yeah.

*Yawn*
Wake me when MMJ, The Verve, Portishead and Spiritualized all do proper tours.
Otherwise...meh.

Not that there's any chance of me going, but that lineup doesn't inspire me a whole lot. Too much blah indie rock that I have already seen or have been so bored listening to that I don't want to see.
The headliners make me think the era of the middle tail (no, not the long tail) is officially here for rock music. No current band can draw much of a crowd. The rock market is too fragmented to find a headliner that can adequately represent the spirit of today's generation. (Sorry, Dan Deacon, you cater to a niche of a niche.) So out come the middle of the road guys (Jack Johnson, Death Cab For Cutie) and the old guys (Love and Rockets, Roger Waters, Kraftwerk, Verve) to save the day. Groan. I know there are typically some older acts as headliners, and reunited acts tend to top the bill, but it seems more pronounced this year.
