Virgin Music Festival


Recommended Posts

Looks like a great lineup, I guess it ruins any chance of the Pumpkins at Lolla though. August 4-5 Pimlico Race Course, Baltimore, MD

 

The only thing that sucks about this is that it is the same weekend as Lolla.

 

The Police

Smashing Pumpkins

Beastie Boys

-more bands to be added later

The other thing that sucks is that it is outdoors...in Baltimore...in August...with almost no shade. That's gonna be one hot day.

 

We went to the first Virgin Fest last year and had a great time. I gotta say though, I hope they come up with a lot of great bands to fill out the lineup. Last year's festival was incredible top to bottom (started the day with the Drive-By Truckers, ended it with the RHCP). If you compare this year's bands so far to last year's top 3-4 bands (RHCP, The Who, and the Flaming Lips), they've got a long way to go to match that this year. I loved the Smashing Pumpkins growing up, but I can't say I'm pysched to see them at this thing. It also sucks that bands will have to choose between playing Lolla and the Virgin Fest. Either way, I can't wait to see what they come up with.

 

At last year's show this is what our day looked like (it was incredible)...

 

Drive-By Truckers

New Pornographers

The Raconteurs

Gnarls Barkley

The Killers

The Who (easily the best part of the day)

RHCP (it killed me to not go see the Flaming Lips, but we figured we'd see them next time they came through town, but probably wouldn't make it out to see the RHCP at their own show)

this sounds like an AWESOME festival to me. There seems to be a lot of diversity and I really think thats what festivals should be about.

 

Question for the VC? Does anyone out here like drum n bass music? I saw dieselboy and andy c where playing at this and almost creamed my pants. REALLY wish I lived in maryland....really wish it wasn't same weekend as lollapalooza.... BUT IT LOOKS AWESOME!
