The Festival Thread

[Kid Charlemagne]

what the fuck is up with R. Kelly showing up as a headliner at these festivals this year? Did I miss something? Last I heard, this guy pissed on children and his music was bullshit.

Hehe, you know I actually kinda dig him. I think he's probably going to blow off these performances and they'll be trainwrecks but for me it's about just seeing him. I know all of his songs and it's ballsy booking, but it's definitely head scratching.

Metallica's festival looks amazing though, I'd go to that if I weren't going to Bonnaroo.

Also, Free Press Summer Fest in Houston is going to be pretty awesome!
