live wongie: virgin festival 2007 full lineup announced

i actually had a really fun time last year at the inaugural virgin festival in which my friends and i hung out, danced, watched the killers and gnarls barkley back to back, laid out on blow up mattresses (i think i actually fell asleep during the brazilian girls performance) and went loopy when the flaming lips ended our evening.

imagine my pleasure to find out that this years V fest is not only two days worth of musical celebrations, but packed with diverse acts that span the return of the police to my darling amy winehouse! if you see a wongie sleeping on a mattress come over and say 'hey' will ya?
