Post by: AbeFroman on April 25, 2011, 12:00:07 PM
New Lollapalooza/bonnaroo/Coachella type fest in Kansas City on August 5th and 6th. Muse is headlining, rest of bands TBA in 2 hours. Free camping, free parking, no service charges on tickets.

To give many of you youngsters a glimpse of your future:

I'm 40.  I'm a man.  If I go that festival and Eminem plays "My name is" it will be the only song I have ever heard before.   

But I can sing the words to a half dozen Justin Beaver songs.   :goodbyecruelworld:

And it's: Can Rocks Ass. You didn't get it? I guess that's a pretty cool name if you are a 50+ year old fan of Superman hoping to make a pile of cash on this thing.

There are so many EDM artists that would be better than Tiesto, my god. Just saying if those are the 3 big names then its a garbage lineup compared to 2011

I have no idea why A) you assume Tiesto being there eliminates the possibility of other EDMs, and B) you assume the first 3 names they supplied are the 3 headliners. Especially considering last year they announced the main headliners LAST.

Most places announce headliners first to push ticket sales and because their schedules are usually the toughest.  Avett Brothers are very good live.

Kendrick Lamar had the biggest hip hop release of 2012 and The Avett Bros. are probably second to only Mumford when it comes to popularity among the folk crowd.  I'm guessing Tiesto is kind of a big deal, so these aren't bad headliners. I mean, who do you expect? Radiohead, Metallica, and the Rolling Stones?

Its a good thing in my original post I said "IF" these are the headliners then it's pretty weak imo. Pretty Lights or Bassnectar would be better choices if they're looking for an EDM headliner
