Heaven isn't too far away:
Primus opening for Radiohead?

Behold a fleshed out Outside Lands lineup, August 22 through 24, yup: The Good: Radiohead, Primus, Beck, Wilco, Dredg, Cold War Kids, Broken Social Scene, Lyrics Born, Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings, M. Ward, The Cool Kids, Two Gallants, Black Mountain, The Coup, Bon Iver The Bad: Jack Johnson The Hippie: Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Ben Harper, Manu Chao, Donavon "Who the hell's this guy?" Frankenreiter, Widespread Panic, Rodrigo Y Gabriela, Steve Winwood, Cafe Tacvba, Regina Spektor, Devendra Banhart, Andrew Bird, Steel Pulse, Galactic's Crescent City Soul Krewe, Drive By Truckers, Alo, Matt Nathanson, Little Brother, Grace Potter & the Nocturnals, The Mother Hips, Sidestepper, Nellie McKay, Goapele, Ivan Neville's Dumpstaphunk, Sean Hayes, The Felice Brothers, Rupa & The April Fishes, Back Door Slam, K'Naan Kinda added a whole buncha nothin' if you ask me - 'cept for Primus etc. No telling which bands play which days, but it's not like that matters because you can't buy single-day tickets anyway. Another Planet Entertainment: Clever little bastards, aren't they - lumping all those bands on the back of Radiohead. Like a West Coast Bonnaroo Birkenstock bonanza with a bit of brilliance thrown in. And what's up with the ticket price, previously announced as $199 on Ticketmaster and now $225? I reiterate: This ain't Coachella.
