    I gotta see Girl Talk live! toooo dope!….I also wanna see Passion Pit, MURS, Brazilian Girls…the one time i saw MGMT was a diff festival where they were having technical difficulties so their set wasn’t as good as it could’ve been =\

    I have been desperately waiting for a year for GIRL TALK to return to the bay area!! ahhhhh!! I heard he’s killer. I cant wait to break out the body paint!!! I’m moving to Japan in a few months and this is probably going to be my last chance to go to the Treasure Island music festival. I’m also dying to see MGMT, MSTRKRFT, The Streets, MURS, Flaming Lips, MGMT MGMT!!! I just want to dance alllllll day! Awesome line-up. These tickets will definitely be in good hands!!!

    I’d say I’m definitely most exited to check out Girl Talk again, but the line up looks like so much fun, I;m actually probably more exited to get my mind blown by one of the lesser known groups and perhaps get a new fave! Everyone on Treasure Island is gonna shake it for two days straight! yessssssss

    MGMT is the shit……

    If only you know the things I would do to see Beirut live, I already have the suit picked out in my mind. It’d be a classy number; a raspberry shirt and light blue jacket, with a nice pair of white shoes to top it off.

    hot damn i would love to see, EVERYONE! but the Saturday line up is kind blowing my mind right now. Not to long ago i bought a 50 dollar ticket to see MSTRKRFT here in San Francisco and it was very crowded, i ended up knocking someone over with my backpack while letting loose on the dance floor. A bouncer saw the whole thing and as i was helping the poor person up, i was then rushed outside, where they kicked me out! They thought i was to drunk with wasn’t the case. so i would love the chance to see them for real this time, since i was ejected about 20 minutes after i got in. Also i am a huge fan of passion pit and my friends (who are all going) have told me that girltalk was the best show they have ever seen!! in all please PICK ME

  10. Amanda says:

    MGMT, Mstrkfrt, Flaming Lips, Grizzly Bear = ♥
    Would love to see bands at either day, but I must admit my current favorite album is Oracular Spectacular by MGMT. Can’t get enough!! Flaming Lips are always sweet to see live too, last time I saw them at the Greek and they had Santas and aliens on stage, nice!

  11. Jon says:

    PASSION PIT. FLAMING LIPS. MGMT. Oh yeah!

  12. Stephanie says:

    MGMT, MSTRKRFT,Passion Pit, and Girl Talk! I wanna get my dance on plz.

    i like to tie bows.
    i like to sing in the shower.
    i enjoy cupcakes.
    i even adore cats.

    but most importantly,
    i love / j’adore / jag elskar …. MUSIC FESTIVALS!
    (and i’m poor and have no “fun money” so help a sister out)

    I daydream about seeing wayne coyne float on people in his space bubble.
    I want grizzly bear and yo la tengo to serenade me.
    I want to see the walkmen play “New Year”
    I want to yell at Spiral Stairs and beg for Pavement to get back together.
    I imagine myself dancing silly to Girl Talk and Dan Deacon.
    I love how Brazilian Girls got their name.
    and
    I want Beirut to impress me, like I know they will.

    Yes, pick me. OH AND… i’ve been living in San Francisco for 10 years and have never been to Treasure Island. This is the perfect reason. Let me add some spice to that island.

    :) ME < MOI < tickets.
    yesss!

  14. Ash says:

    Grizzly Bear and Edward Sharpe!!!

  15. Howard says:

    excited to see a lot of them, but most excited to see BEIRUT!

  16. Jeannie Nguyen says:

    I’m MOST excited to see BEIRUT

    I want him to nantes my panties

  17. Kat says:

    I would be most excited to see Beirut because I would like Zach to write a song about me titled “My Night with the Prostitute from San Francisco”. :)

  18. Grenard Madrigal says:

    I would say MGMT, Flaming Lips, and the Decemberists as I have not yet seen them at past festivals. BUT, Girl Talk will undoubtedly be the most fun

  19. Jason Felix says:

    My god, I can’t believe that I still haven’t been to a single Treasure Island Music festival after living in the Bay Area for over three years. Oh wait, I CAN believe it since I’m a BROKE ass starving musician. This year’s lineup is the best yet. I’m most excited to dance to the beats of GIRL TALK, PASSION PIT, and MSTRKRFT as well as bob my head to the beats and lyrics of MURS and CROWN CITY ROCKERS. It would be awesome to finally see some of my musical influences live such as the WALKMEN, GRIZZLY BEAR, and the FLAMING LIPS. Please send me to Treasure Island before I move away from the Bay in December! Thanks!

  20. Candy says:
