I’m wondering if they have released details as far as what time the bands will be taking the stage, it’s coming up pretty quickly now and I’d really like to know what time the Black Keys will play so I can plan ahead. Anyone know anything?

My vote goes to Things Fall Apart. I’m from Philly and that album feels like Philly the most to me and therefore remains my favorite.

I’d say less only because I love The Flaming Lips, but this lineup offers a bit more variety (which is always a good thing).

@Christopher: I’d respectfully disagree. Tipping Point is their biggest jab at becoming radio friendly and really lacks the neurotic ennui that makes the Roots so seductively exciting. I’d say the latest two albums, especially Game Theory, are their albums that I listen to the most, but Phrenology is a great starter Roots album. Illadelph and Things Fall Apart are excellent to gain some perspective on their development.

Awesome…

When I saw them at ACL a few years ago, they were the only hip hop act in the lineup and they out-rocked everyone.

Captain Kirk is the sh*t!

That is great news! The lineup this year is starting to look fantastic.

Cowboy Mouth pretty much was one of the worst bands I’ve seen in some time at last year’s show.

Wow, this thing is stacked! Rumor has it there is one more gnarly act to be added too…
