Road Trip to New Jersey!
Friday, January 29, 2010 12:50
Although I’m a huge music nerd, I never have been one to flock to the mega-super-massive type concert/festivals featuring every band to ever produce a myspace album (Lollapalooza, Warped Tour, etc.). Too crowded, too many bands I don’t care about, too wild. Today while I was browsing MC Chris’ tour schedule I realized the only other date that he was scheduled for was this concert called “The Bamboozle”. I remembered the name vaguely but was immediately hesitant because it gave off the super-concert vibe. However, after reading the lineup, I know now there is no way I cannot attend this gathering.
The Bamboozle is an annual concert held in New Jersey (specifically East Rutherford, NJ, about 9 hours away from Dublin, Ohio). Since the original Bamboozle, there have been many spin-off concerts (there’s one in Anaheim, CA as well). Bands play for two days, and concert-goers can pay for both or either of those days ($104 and $57 respectively), or look at one of the larger concert packages. Their lineup this year is sweet:
- Paramore
- Weezer
- MGMT
- 88 Keys
- Eye Alaska
- Hey Monday
- Ke$ha
- Ok Go
- Steel Train (my personal favorite)
- Angels and Airwaves
- Hanson (…I still love them)
- The Maine
- Bullet for my Valentine
- Angels and Airwaves
- Girl Talk
- Matt & Kim
- Mute Math
- Motion City Soundtrack
- and of course, MC Chris
