The myspace page says that lineup and presale start tomorrow (Tuesday).

I'm guessing many of their top myspace 'friends' will be playing, so that would be Vampire Weekend, USE, Devotchka, Kimya Dawson, Les Savy Fav, Girl Talk, The Dodos, The Cave Singers, Common Market, YACHT, etc etc etc...

But I guess we'll know tomorrow.

Five bucks says that the Capitol Hill Block party has a better line up for your money than Sasquatch or Bumbershoot. Or is that a given?
