Virgin Fest


Some of the initial players at the 2008 Virgin Mobile Festival in Baltimore, MD have been announced. The list will be much longer but the bill, according to Pitchfork Media, is thus far made up of: "Kanye West, Nine Inch Nails, Foo Fighters, Jack Johnson, and, for your nostalgic bemusement, Stone Temple Pilots". Virgin claims that within the next few weeks they will announce the rest of the lineup for the Festival.

"Virgin Festival is also making a note of its efforts to go green, with the goal of minimizing carbon emissions. Says Virgin Group Founder and Chairman Richard Branson, 'Virgin Mobile USA will again host a wonderfully eco-friendly event that's light on carbon impact but heavy on the rock and roll.'"

The festival will take place at Baltimore's Pimlico Race Course the weekend of August 9-10.
