Providing the world with succinct music reviews, tailored to your genre and scene of choice

The Big Gig July 2, 2008

Summmerfest is the world’s biggest music attracting almost one million visitors every year. Summerfest LogoWhile gigs like Bonnaroo and Virgin Fest last a few days at most, Summerfest is 8 days of musical craziness from every genre you can think of (well… maybe not Danish Death Metal but you know what I mean). Seriously, The Roots, The Polyphonic Spree, Matisyahu, Pat Benatar, Rodrigo y Gabriela, and even The Jonas Brothers – all at one event. Granted, they’ve got bands seprated into different stages to create some sembelence – emo bands Alkaline Trio, Dashboard Confessional, Plain White Ts at one venue and ska-kids Goldfinger and Less Than Jake at another.
