Well this is interesting. In the same spot as FMMF. Thoughts?

At least if ticket sales are low they can move it to A&R Bar..

I’ll be more interested when they reveal a lineup and more details.

Here’s some information:

Pretty lame to not announce a lineup. I feel this festival and Bunbury are really the only major festivals in the country who haven’t announced their lineup.

This will be successful and hopefully will put FMMF out of business.

What good would that serve?

Wouldn’t Columbus residents be better off having both events be successful?

The city isn’t big enough for two music festivals. I would rather see the one being run by people who actually have experience in the music business (PW) work instead of the half assed one being put on by guys in it for a cash grab.

Lollapalooza hasn’t revealed their lineup. They like everyone to buy tickets before knowing. It sucks.

Better call for the cancellation of Rock on the Range while you’re at it then.

Austin, TX is the same size as Columbus and has SXSW, ALC, Fun Fun Fun Fest, Austin Psych Fest… I think we’ll be okay.

Fairly long delay on finding a replacement for WTM…Flaming Lips will headline Friday night. They just said they will be offering $20 off on single day passes through May. No word on how that impacts the 3-day passes people bought.

Honestly, Forecastle Fest in Louisville that same weekend is the same price/cheaper and looks a lot better.

Don’t forget to factor in travel costs and hotel pricing if you plan to stay overnight in Louisville.
