[UPDATE:They've added The Roots] The Great GoogaMooga has just released the lineup of bands for the two-day food & drink festival in Prospect Park and Daryl Hall & John Oates are at the top of the bill. Damn! We hope they play "You Make My Dreams (Come True, Except For the Dream Of Seeing Us At GoogaMooga, Sorry Babe)."
Other noteworthy acts include Holy Ghost!, Bear Hands, Fort Lean, Lez Zeppelin, and The Preservation Hall Jazz Band. Unfortunately, those who have tickets to Saturday's event won't be able to catch Hall & Oates: they're on Sunday's bill.
Another allotment of free tickets are available tomorrow at noon, with a limit of two per person. The event's website adds, "We anticipate a high demand on Tuesday at noon ET. Be patient, and get excited!"
But hey, if you're a Rich Girl (sorry, we're sorry, OK?) you can still pick up extra special VIP tickets that cost $249.50 (plus $17.71 in fees) and allow you to shoot water balloons at people waiting in lines and sing background vocals and play bocce with Hall & Oates (or at least it should). Expect Sunday's allotment of those to sell out quickly. Below this stellar video of Chromeo and Daryl Hall performing "I Can't Go For That" at Hall's upstate home is the entire lineup.
