The dance music lineup is weak, but there are some good bands playing.
Gorillaz, Thom Yorke, Fever Ray, Mew, Flying Lotus, and Muse is all I really care for. Probably not worth the trip for me.

one of the main reasons i do like it is because it doesnt have many dance music acts. its a good mixture of different types of music:)
its a nice way to see lots of groups that are otherwise very hard to see.

There seems to be one common complaint every year for the last few years; the Sahara lineup is weak. Of course it is, it's a massive festival that caters more towards the indie rock side of things and, thus, needs to book EDM that arcs moreso in that direction.
I went in 2008 and had an absolute blast. That said, with the effort and finances involved, I'm not going to go unless the lineup is spectacular. Gil Scott-Heron (easily THE best act of the festival), Sly & the Family Stone, Talvin Singh, Les Claypool (yeah, I know...), Plastikman & Orbital are all acts that I would love to see. I just can't justify blowing a load of money just for them.
Jay-Z would've been cool to see maybe five years ago or so. I wouldn't waste my time now that Kanye has teamed up with him.
DEMF for me this year.

It sucks because opportunities to see some of those artists are hard to come by...but as much as I would love seeing them, I just can't justify traveling across the country right now.

Yeah, same here. I'd love to see Muse and Mew again, and I've never seen Thom Yorke (looove to), but I will be in school for finals.

Who are all these people!? Are they famous? Except for a few dj's and bands (Orbital, the Raveonettes, Tiesto, and the like), I've never heard about them...
