Pearl Jam, N.I.N. to headline 2013 Voodoo Fest.

So, is this it? I mean, I'm ok with spending the money I did just to see Pearl Jam, Nine Inch Nails and Desaparecidos, but I kinda felt like they were going to put together a better lineup than this. Is there no third headliner? Beats Antique is cool; the Revivalists put on a good show; Macklemore and Ryan Lewis put out an intelligent record, but as far as wanting to see it as a live performance, I don't know if it will be any better than listening to it in my car. Other than that...I think I liked some of Cults stuff but not enough to really care.

Is there anyone whose in the lineup that I should see?

The Gaslight Anthem is one of my favorite bands, even though I think their most recent effort is subpar by their standard. It's not for everyone though, admittedly. I'd probably not have bought tickets if they weren't playing as I just saw PJ at Jazz Fest a few years ago, and at the Lakefront Arena circa 2004.

I agree that I thought more would eventually be released, but it certainly seems late in the game to be adding any major acts. Unfortunately, I think the festival has been slipping for a couple of years now. I really like that the city has three major festivals that typically appeal to three different listeners at three different times of the year, so hopefully, it isn't an indicator of what's to come.
