 Music Midtown 2005 Featuring Interpol + The White Stripes + Bloc Party + More - PopMatters Concert Review
Thankfully, Atlanta's Music Midtown provided a way out: not only did this year's lineup -- including Bloc Party, Louis XIV, Interpol, the Pixies, et cetera -- outdo Bonnaroo's, but I have a friend with an actual house: walls, roof, running water, the works.
Unfortunately, Music Midtown had a few drawbacks -- the city of Atlanta, for instance.
The Pixies's performance is what gave me the confidence to come down so hard on the Music Midtown crowd, because the venue emptied before they even went on.

 Review of Music Midtown 2005 - Atlanta, GA
If you have been to a large outdoor music festival you know the drill: overpriced food and drinks, being left to the mercy of Mother Nature (two rainy days and one day of sweltering heat), those refreshing portable toilets, and waiting through acts you don't care about to see the bands you wanted to see.
In all fairness to the Music Midtown organizers, the bands seemed to run more or less on time; at least for the bands I saw.
Musical answer to the question "How many Gang of Four clone bands does the world need?" Their drummer was way too eager to show the world all the drum lessons he had taken.
