Looks like Al had such a blast at Bonnaroo, he decided to do another festival!

Al will be playing the Governors Ball at Randall's Island Park in NYC this June 5-7, along with Drake, the Black Keys, Florence + The Machine, Ryan Adams, Bjork, The Decemberists, and even Charli XCX! Whatta lineup!!!

Anyone going?

[OneWAY]

I kind of want to, but there is no feasible way for me! I can cover a ticket, but travel and stay costs are way out of the question.

What an amazing line-up!

How fast do tickets sell for this? I may go. It really just depends on Al's schedule. If there is a break and I can make all three days, I definitely will. But, if it's like Bonnaroo, and there are concerts before or after Al's date, it's not economically feasible to buy a three-day pass, and only use one day. Either way, I plan on being somewhere by, and at least hear it.

I could conceivably cover the ticket, but food/drink/hotel-living arrangements for the three days is where it's hectic.

A mere 15 miles away from me. I'd kill to go, but it's NYC in the middle of tourist season. GAAAAAHHHH!!!

I think I'll wait until the full tour is announced.

Jeremy, I think the tickets will probably go pretty quickly for this. It's a pretty solid lineup in the biggest market. You may be able to get single day passes though.
For those worried about cost of accommodations, I went to Lollapalooza back in 2006 with my now wife and we stayed in a hostel a few miles away. It was really cheap, and a lot of the people there were also going to Lollapalooza. NYC has the best subway in the world, so you wouldn't necessarily even need to stay uptown.

Oh, that'd be awesome if there were single day tickets sold eventually! Right now, all they have on the website are three day passes. The one-day passes & transportation from Nashville was one of the best things about Bonnaroo.

So, I just found this picture online...should be an awesome crowd!!!

Alright, I will be very excited to hear this setlist, because from a picture I saw, he looked to be wearing his FWP outfit for the polka, and he has already done Amish Paradise, only 40 minutes after the start of the show...

[Muppetboy09]

Alright, here is what I dug up. Al walked out in his FWP/Foil costume with his accordion, and the set went as followed:

Now That's What I Call Polka!
Foil
Fat
Medley
White & Nerdy
Word Crimes
Amish Paradise
Yoda

EDIT: Billboard just posted an interview video, but it includes some live clips (directly from the soundboard) including Foil, which sounds very nice!
