[Boogahz]

Yeah, it is more obvious which festival got the "better" lineup this year. Having the same agency handle both sucks.

There is no way I could make myself buy a full pass to ACL

[Gzette]

I told my friend that I thought the lineup was worse than last year, but he thought otherwise. He's a hip-hop fan, and that genre has been largely underrepresented in past lineups, so I can see why he was excited.
