I just have a bad feeling about this. I'm not in the business of booking bands, but I'm assuming the acts get paid the same amount that they would if the show wasn't free for fans, right? I'm just worried about the lineup. Weezer and Blink 182 as headliners? I'm not a big Ozzfest/heavy metal guy either, but I remember that free Ozzfest as a lineup that seemed a bit lacking in quality (in terms of heavy metal lineups). Furthermore, if this V-Fest lineup does turn out to be a winner, the idea of logging onto sponsor websites as part of some big ticket lottery seems like a pain in the ass. On any case, I hope things turn out great. Its nice to have a festival close to home - even when the lineup isn't to my liking (last year's wasn't) I hope its a success. I just don't feel that optimistic at this point.
