Will be interesting to see what kind of acts they can pull in for this.....
I'll try to update in the spring and early summer with info on bands.
Summerfest officials announced on Friday the creation of a new alternative and modern-rock festival that will be held Friday, June 4 and Saturday, June 5 at Henry Maier Festival Park.
The yet unnamed festival is intended to kick off the summer festival season and appears to be a replacement of sorts for the now defunct RiverSplash festival, which had a 20-year run.
Summerfest producers will plan, promote and produce the festival, which is expected to feature a lineup of national and regional acts, action sports competitions, shopping and interactive exhibits.
WLUM-FM (102.1) will be the presenting radio sponsor for the festival.
Organizers say they will stage a contest to name the festival. The content begins immediately at
www.yourmusicfest.com/">YourMusicFest.com.
Tickets for the festival will be available beginning March 10 at 10 a.m. at
www.yourmusicfest.com with no incremental fees and on Ticketmaster via phone at (800) 745-3000, online at
www.ticketmaster.com, and at Ticketmaster outlets.
Advanced single day passes are $25, advanced two-day passes are $40, and day-of admission is $35 per day.
