2007 Virgin Festival Lineup Announced

The Police and Smashing Pumpkins are headlining the 2007 Virgin Festival on August 4th and 5th at Pimlico Racetrack in Baltimore, MD but who else will be playing?  Only some of the premiere names in rock, hip-hop and electronica.  A few of the most noteworthy acts include 311, Wu Tang Clan, Chris Cornell, Modest Mouse, Beastie Boys, Incubus, Ben Harper, Cheap Trick and Fountains of Wayne.  Not too shabby… the entire lineup can be found below.

 Tickets go on sale at 10am on May 5th and cost $175 for the two-day tickets; VIP tickets are $450.  If the show isn’t sold out by May 19th, then they will begin selling single day tickets for $97.50.  A single day VIP ticket, if made available, will cost $250.

The Virgin Festival chose Baltimore as it’s first United States tour location in 2006 and after a tremendous first showing, Richard Bronson’s brainchild is giving the city a second go.  Last year’s event headlined The Who and The Red Hot Chilli Peppers and recieved a rave review by music fans who traveled cross country to get in the gates that are also home to one of the Triple Crown Horse Races - Preakness.

This concert is bound to be one of the hottest of the Summer, so leave your calender open on May 5th and pick up a few extra VIP tickets for us!
