VFest USA by Virgin Mobile
By: Thomas Hannan
Venue: Pimlico Race Course, Baltimore, MD
Dates: August 4th and 5th 2007
Tickets: Weekend Pass for $175 (approx. £87.50) / Single Day for $97.50 (approx. £48.75), available here.
Why is this worthy of my time and money?: For the second year, Richard Branson takes his mighty V Festival (which you'll be more than familiar with, what with Rockfeedback's coverage stretching all the way back to 2000) to the US of A. Brought to you by Virgin Mobile, the weekend's line up is the best you'll see in America all year.
Don't believe us? How 'bout The Police, Beastie Boys, The Smashing Pumpkins, Interpol, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, LCD Soundsystem, TV On The Radio, Modest Mouse, Spoon, Regina Spektor, CSS, Bad Brains, Wu-Tang Clan, Panic! At The Disco, Sasha & Digweed, Felix Da Housecat, The Fratellis... and more. In fact, that puts a lot of UK festivals to shame. Check out the full lineup here.
Rockfeedback will be providing exclusive coverage of the event for the first time, and we're pretty super excited. We'll see you down the front.
