V-Fest - A Decision to be Made

So in case you didn't see it elsewhere, the full lineup for this year's Virgin Mobile Festival in Baltimore has been announced. And it's turning out to be a pretty respectable lineup.

Now I just need to decide whether or not to go to this or just go to Delaware to see Wilco on Sunday. I suppose I could do V-Fest on Saturday (8/9) and Wilco on Sunday (8/10), but the Saturday lineup is pretty thin compared to Sunday, and the main attraction for me on Saturday would be Wilco anyway.

Saturday V-Fest Lineup
Bloc Party
Cat Power
Chuck Berry and The Silver Beats (!!)
Citizen Cope
Duffy
Foo Fighters
Gogol Bordello
Jack Johnson
KT Tunstall
Lupe Fiasco
The Offspring
Paramore
Rodrigo Y Gabriela
Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings
Soulwax
The Swell Season
Underworld
Wilco

Sunday V-Fest Lineup
Andrew Bird
The Black Keys
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
Bob Dylan

Chromeo
The Go! Team
Iggy and the Stooges
Kanye West
Lil Wayne
Moby
Nine Inch Nails
She and Him
Shudder to Think
Stone Temple Pilots

Taking Back Sunday

Decisions, decisions...

Oh, and for those deciding at home, V-Fest tickets go on sale this Saturday, May 3rd at 10am via Ticketmaster. There also appears to be a pre-sale starting Thursday, but I haven't seen anything about who's eligible for that.

Two-day passes are $175, and one-day passes at $97.50. Ouch. That's pretty steep when compared to the prices for the 3-day Lollapalooza and ACL festivals, and especially compared to Pitchfork.
