It seems like just yesterday we were scratching our heads and wondering what this mythical “v fest” creature we’d heard of could possibly be. A large-scale music festival that doesn’t require a plane ticket? Our brain grapes were smashed at the thought! The first year (a one day event headlined by The Who and the Flaming Lips) went over well, and last year’s bigger, better and greener approach was another notch in Richard Branson’s belt. We already knew that this year’s festivities would happen on August 9 and 10, once again returning to Pimlico racecourse in Baltimore. Now we’ve got the first signs of life: a list of headliners.

This year’s event will feature the Foo Fighters, Jack Johnson, Kanye West, Nine Inch Nails and Stone Temple Pilots. Wait, what? STP? One of the Virgin Festival’s favorite tricks has been a big reunion (see: last year’s Smashing Pumpkins performance). This will also be the second year in a row Scott Weiland comes to Charm City; his other band, Velvet Revolver, knocked DCist Kyle’s socks off last summer. Of that lineup, I’m personally most excited about Nine Inch Nails. Trent Reznor’s “hot because he’s kinda scary” appeal hasn’t dwindled in the past decade. I’m also kind of hoping Kanye is still giving out those venetian blind shades at his shows.

The remainder of the lineup is still a mystery. Any tour-checking detectives out there care to warrant a guess? (We’re looking at you, The Upstate Life.)
