We speculated. You speculated. And we’re SO PUMPED to let you all know that Virgin Mobile Free Fest finally announced its line-up for the October 6th festival–with much of our speculation in tact.
Head to Merriweather Post Pavilion to hear:
Jack White (!!!)
Skrillex
NAS
M83
Plus Das Racist, Alabama Shakes, Santigold, Ben Folds Five, Portugal. The Man, The Dismemberment Plan, Penguin Prison, Nervo, Allen Stone, ZZ Top, Trampled by Turtles, Thomas Gold, Above & Beyond, Perter & Zedd, Justin Jones, Future Islands, and Alvin Risk.
“We’ve had a really big year at Virgin,” said Ron Faris, head of brand marketing, Virgin Mobile USA. “Now it’s time to celebrate. FreeFest is back – bigger than ever. We can’t wait to share this free day of music with all our fans, especially the ones who helped us announce it.”
Tickets go on sale free on Friday, August 24th at 12:00pm EDT. You can access the mysterious August 23rd pre-sale by following Virgin Mobile Live on twitter at @VirginMlive. We will see you there.
Jack White and Billy Gibbons at the same place at the same time? May the gee-tar gods give us a duel for the ages. Will never happen but happy to see ZZ Top on the lineup for old time’s sake.
