Pumpkins, Police, Beastie Boys for Virgin Fest

News



Recently reunited alt-rock touchstones the Smashing Pumpkins and punk infused reggae trio the Police will join with the Beastie Boys to headline the U.S. installment of Virgin Fest, scheduled for Aug. 4 & 5 at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, Billboard.com reports. The festival will go down the same weekend as Chicago's Lollapalooza, a departure from last year's event -- held in September -- which concert officials attribute to the Police's solidified concert schedule. "It's not ideal [to be the same weekend as Lollapalooza], but given the choice of booking the Police or not we had to go for it," producer Seth Hurwitz told Billboard.com. A complete concert listing will be announced as the festival date nears.

Fans can also catch the Smashing Pumpkins at the Toronto installment of V-Fest, scheduled for Sept. 8 & 9, also featuring performances by Björk, the Killers, Interpol and Amy Winehouse. The Killers and My Chemical Romance will headline the Vancouver bill, slated for May 20.

Sorry. Insanity in individuals is something rare - but in groups, parties, nations and epochs, it is the rule.
I am from Suriname and bad know English, tell me right I wrote the following sentence: "Work at home, she contains a income with her receptionist."
