 With one of the more solid lineups of any festival this year, Download Festival (San Francisco Edition) was a day full of indie rock's coolest bands, e.g. TV on the Radio, Muse, and Beck. The main stage even had the looney Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Cali-favorites The Shins and Rogue Wave. They all pulled off a solid show, which included Beck's puppets, Muse's lightning in a bottle, and Karen O's psychotic look. Each band played for roughly an hour, and Beck finished everyone off with a multi-media extravaganza.

delivered to a rockin' crowd in Portland.
Those lucky enough to
enter the House of Blues Boston took a spacey journey
that felt like one long dream starting with opening act I Break Horses.
The student-filled O2 Academy in Manchester started heaving
forward the instant the visual art showed "The Cribs" on the backdrop.
