Treasure Island Music Fest Lineup: MGMT, Beirut, Girl Talk, Griz Bear, Flaming Lips

| The Flaming Lips |
Here's the official lineup for Saturday: MGMT, MSTKKRFT, Girl Talk, Brazilian Girls, The Streets, Passion Pit, LTK Bukem feat. MC Conrad, DJ Krush, Federico Aubele, Dan Deacon, Murs, Crown City Rockers, and the Limousines.
Sunday is all about the indie: The Flaming Lips, The Decemberists, Beirut, Grizzly Bear, Yo La Tengo, the Walkmen, Bob Mould, Thao with the Get Down Stay Down, Vetiver, Spiral Stairs (of Pavement), Sleepy Sun, Tommy Guerrero, Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros.
From my end, I'd say this is a pretty great spread of the old school (Flaming Lips, DJ Krush) and the heavy new(er)comers (MGMT, Grizzly Bear, Beirut).
My criticisms are for the smaller end of the lineup: there could be more locals playing the festival (especially on the electronic side, and especially with our dancefloor-focused culture) and some of the sleepier live acts (the Walkmen, the Streets) could be replaced by artists that are on the rise.
Overall, though, there are plenty of reasons to hit the Island again this year--Flaming Lips and MGMT being two big ones.
