@ZackTeibloom Times are tight and it can be hard to pay for your festival tickets. Rothbury’s making it easy on you. We can’t all crash festivals.

Festival Crashers’ favorite festival just announced the two-day pass for July 4th and 5th for $149.50* (plus ticket fees and shipping.)

The headliner schedule were announced today as well. Friday July 3rd brings String Cheese Incident, The Dead take the fireworks spot on the 4th. Stick around for Sunday’s big bill of Bob Dylan and his band in addition to Willie Nelson & Family. Personally, I’d much rather see The Dead and Dylan, so the two-day is a great option if you can’t get away for the full weekend.

We hope to see you there. The Festival Crashers need more friends we can yell “ROTH-BURRRRRY” at any time something good happens. It’s a surprisingly effective catch phrase.

Tickets on sale now at www.rothburyfestival.com and at 1-888-512-SHOW (Open Mon-Sat 9am-9pm CDT).

@ZackTeibloom What they lack in headliners, they make up for in supporting acts. Lollapalooza’s line-up is finally out there and official. It looks a lot like the leaked line-up a few weeks ago with a few unfortunate subtractions and some exciting additions.

I did call that Tenacious D wasn’t going to play and sadly they’re not. Same with OK Go, Regina Spektor, Lily Allen and Franz Ferdinand.

Those are a few acts I really wanted to see, but there are a batch of new additions worth getting excited about: Snoop Dogg, Lou Reed, Dan Auerbach, STS9, Los Campesinos, Rise Against and Of Montreal.

So, what does the final line-up look like?

@ZackTeibloom Outside Lands Festival announced their line-up with a cute little video today. Actually, the novelty wares off almost immediately as they incorporate the band names into a lame song, but the line-up has the opposite effect. It grows on you.

You may see the main three headliners and think Really? Again? Dave and The Beasties and Pearl Jam headlining another festival? There’s a reason they keep getting these gigs.  The Festival Crashers have seen all of them headline a festival and own it.

Dave Matthews was the undisputed king of Rothbury. The Beastie Boys were the face of Langerado. Pearl Jam closed Lollapalooza with authority two years ago and thrilled everyone at Bonnaroo last year with a three-hour set (except Kanye…) These headliners are top-notch. And Jack White will be there. Count me in… Read the rest of this entry »

@ZackTeibloom Pitchfork filled out their line-up today with a bunch of bands you’ve probably never heard of. Personally, I’ve heard of Matt and Kim and M83 and … no one else. I started checking out some of these bands on YouTube and was mostly unimpressed. Some I can’t even find. I’m looking at you, Fu**ed up. Let me know who you listen to on this list.

Saturday additions: Matt and Kim, Charles Hamilton, Fucked Up, Wavves and The Duchess and the Duke 

Sunday additions: M83, Black Lips, The Very Best
