Here's the full line-up. Well - not totally full. They tend to add a few medium-sized to headliner-sized acts each year after the original poster (if it appears white or blurry - click on it):

Karen and I have been 4 years in a row. Every year I'm usually underwhelmed by the poster, but then gradually get more excited as I learn more about the smaller acts. And then when they add their last suprise or two - I'm good to go.
