festival season
Three places that are way cooler then Monolith:1.Lollapaloza $190 Featuring:Rage against the Machine, Radiohead, Kanye West, Wilco, Black Keys and many many more.
Formerly the brunt of many jokes because of lackluster line ups and failed attempts to make it a moving tour, but getting radio head makes this the one to be at. The price is almost comparable to Monolith because there are no service charges. If you go out this year this is the one for variety, location and bang for your buck.
2.Bonnaroo $229 Featuring: MGMT, Battles, Chris Rock, !!!, M.I.A, The Fiery Furnaces, Two Gallants, Pearl Jam and many others.
Any festival that features B.B King, Death Cab for Cutie and Metalica has to be worth a look. Price is much higher (plus fees) then Monolith or Lolla and it is in the middle of nowhere, but the line up is dancy and also features some very cool stand up comics which looks to be the way of the future.
3.Sasquatch $154 Featuring: R.E.M, Modest Mouse, Cold War Kids, Flaming lips, Built to Spill, Flight of the Conchords
Most reasonably priced show, but also features some of the most unimaginative band selections. Most of these cats are playing other festivals and have been around the block already. I have to say i like the comedians they are bringing and i have heard good things about the venue. Course at this point it happens tomorrow so....hope you are on your way.
