ACL is almost here....

A look back at last year's looks.

10,000 Lakes Festival on Hiatus

The 10,000 Lakes Festival is off for 2010 and at this point there are no plans to revive it later.

“At the end of the day, not enough people bought tickets,” said Rand Levy, an owner and promoter of the festival that has been held at the Soo Pass Ranch outside of Detroit Lakes. Levy said part of the problem was the start-up of several competing festivals around the country that stole audience from the Minnesota venue.

You can still go to the festival Web site, 10KLF.com, to “relive memories, photos, etc.”

Fugee Reunion of Sorts

Rumor has it that former Fugees Wyclef Jean and Lauryn Hill are scheduled to perform at the Ragamuffin Music Festival, in Rotorua, New Zealand. The estranged former groupmates are scheduled to perform separate sets at the festival on Jan. 23, marking the first time they've shared a stage in years.

Happy 26th Phaniversary!!

We hear die hard phans were handing out fliers to remind the sold out crowd at MSG that it was the 26th anniversary of Phish's first concert and they should sing Happy Birthday before the 1st set in unison. That didn't seem to catch on... we guess they were just too excited for the band to start their first appearance back at the garden since NYEve '02.

Playing some old favorites like 'Sample in a Jar,' 'Golgi Apparatus' and 'Tweezer' and covering the Beatles 'A Day in the Life' to kick off the encore, the boys did not disappoint with a 4 hour show. The phans are sure excited for tonight, the 2nd of a 3 night run in NYC but clearly the anniversary celebration will have to hold off until next December.
