Bamboozle Announces 24 More Bands!

Bands announced are highlighted in blue. Click the photo to look!

Yesterday The Bamboozle Festival announced 24 more bands to their growing lineup, including BRAND NEW headlining on Sunday!!! I found out from my Brand-New obsessed boyfriend that Brand New was not originally asked to play, but at their latest show in England Jesse Lacey drunkenly told the audience they were playing Bamboozle, when in fact they weren't.

Bamboozle's creator John D had no choice but to offer them a spot on the lineup. Jesse Lacey told him they were either headlining or not playing at all, hence their headlining spot. There were rumors the Sunday secret headliner was supposed to be AFI based on the clues given by the festival, but I guess now by accident it's Brand New. Regardless, I am PUMPED.

For any Brand New lovers or pop punk kids: you should follow my boyfriend's Tumblr, Deja Entendu

He has gained a ton of followers lately and has been noticed on some straight edge websites. Check him out!!

For anyone who has never given Brand New a listen, DOWNLOAD THEIR ALBUM DEJA ENTENDU RIGHT NOW. Seriously one of my favorite albums of all time. Here's one of my favorites songs from it:

Bonnaroo's Overwhelming Ticket Rush!

As I stated in my last post, Bonnaroo's 4 day lineup is the talk of festival-goers right now. However it seems to be TOO MUCH of the talk. According to The Associated Press, Bonnaroo has HALTED tickets sales due to unanticipated high demand! Tickets were supposed to go on sale last Saturday the 18th, but the organizers suspended the sales due to technical problems (a.k.a far many people trying to buy tickets at once!). They did state by the end of today they would announce the day they will become available.

I have no idea how they're going to launch the ticket sales in a way to keep people from crashing the site. Ticket lottery maybe? Either way, I'm sure a lot of people are getting way too anxious!!
