Kanrocksas Music Festival
Awful, awful name, but it's a new music festival that runs August 5-6 at Kansas Speedway in KCK. Lineup includes Muse, Eminem, The Black Keys, The Flaming Lips, The Arctic Monkeys, A Perfect Circle, Kid Cudi, Girl Talk, Flogging Molly, Jack's Mannequin, and apparently there are more that they haven't yet announced.
$179/ticket ($159 early bird) and they go on sale tomorrow. Parking and camping are free. I figured it would be a much cheaper alternative to Outside Lands, which I was really considering going to. The lineup isn't as good, but I can deal with that since it's 20 miles from home. Anyone else interested? http://www.kanrocksas.com/ |

I just can't stand the indecipherable shouting into the microphone with like 3 or 4 other members of the posse alternately shouting equally indecipherable accompaniment on every other word. Even rappers that I like seem to suck live for the most part.

You have some gangster wannabe rapper up on stage singing to a backing track with a giant posse of reeruns doubling every 4th word. Most of the time you are witnessing them pulling up their pants, and watching the long dangling chain swing back and forth while they throw gang signs. Now, would I love to witness an 8-Mile type rap battle? Sure. |

Eminem is great live. Gives it his all. Plus he doesn't perform much so he's fresh and full of angriness.

$180 isn't worth it considering who's all gonna perform there.
I paid $30 for my Rockfest ticket....and the band lineup is going to be much better. Winner = Rockfest |

You said a friend of yours did the booking for the artists performing at the festival huh? Well I sent them (Kanrocksas) a general email inquiring on if I could get my artist booked to perform. I was told there will be more opportunities coming up for this and to stay tuned to their social networking sites for more details. Now what I'm getting at here is if you know the promoter who did the booking, is there anyway you might be comfortable sharing here email address with me? What I would then like to do is send here an EPK for my aritist, as that would be the best way to actually try getting my artist booked.
