Check out our three cool new features at Festival Preview. Together, they provide an unmatched capability to browse videos and photos of performers appearing at 2009 music festivals.

• Lineups. We have artist lineups available for all the top festivals that have announced their 2009 lineups. You can browse among festivals with lineups, click a link to see just the lineup or go to the festival page and see the lineup in place. Headliners and acts with major billing are given prominent display. Check out Coachella as an example, or pick your favorite from the list.

• Artists. For the first time, Festival Preview introduces artist pages, one for every artist booked at one or more 2009 music festival. The artist page displays an ordered list of festivals where the artist is booked, including performance dates where available. Here is a list of all artists. We've also added an Artists link in our main navigation.

• Photo and Video Feeds. FP artist and festival pages come alive with photos and video sourced from Google, Yahoo and other search engines and displayed inside the Festival Preview environment. Here is an example of a video feed for Neil Young, who was just announced as the festival closing act for the upcoming New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival. Hover your cursor over any thumbnail image to view the video.  Read more »
