Langerado regulars are going to have some initial backlash with the news of this year's festival: it has been cut back down to three days and worst of all camping has been eliminated from the equation! Also the location has changed from the Big Cypress Indian Reservation to Bicentennial Park in Miami. But don't get too down: the initial lineup looks spectacular. Girl Talk, Slightly Stoopid, and Umphrey's make returns, plus tons of newcomers. I expected bigger headliners than Death Cab and Snoop Dogg, but this is quite pleasing for the first announcement.

Tickets go on sale December 12 at noon ET at Langerado.com.
