"Though promoters around the country report strong early ticket sales for festivals and summer tours, the recession is causing jitters. This year Coachella, which has the most glamorous reputation of all American festivals, began selling tickets on layaway, and 18 percent of its customers took that option, Mr. Tollett said.With all the leaks of bands playing Lollapalooza this year, there are almost no surprises in the official lineup announcement, except maybe the Animal Collective DJ set... The whole thing below...The proliferation of big festivals, like Bonnaroo near Nashville and Lollapalooza in Chicago, has not been without casualties. This year Langerado in Miami shut down, citing the economy. The Pemberton Festival in British Columbia is on hiatus after only one year, although its promoter, Live Nation, said the problem was permit delays." [NY Times]

ABOUT BROOKLYN VEGAN
BrooklynVegan is a NYC-centric mostly-music blog that focuses on reporting international music news, live show reviews, pictures, tour dates, gossip, tips, MP3's, videos, and just about anything else a music fan could want. Non-music news finds it's way on to our pages as well, and every post comes with an open exchange of ideas via the public commenting system.
Though still primarily run by one person (often reffered to as "Brooklyn Vegan" and/or "BV"), we've (I've) recently expanded to include regular and semi-regular contributers. Contributors include:
BrooklynVegan also sponsors and produces events, and can be heard on Sirius satellite radio station 'Left of Center' every Wednesday @ 12pm EST (noon), and again @ midnight (EST).
The best way to contact us is via e-mail.
