Bob Dylan, Chuck Berry Join Usual Suspects For Virgin Fest 2008
Some details leaked a few weeks back, but now you can peruse the full line-up for Virgin's Baltimore stop and decide whether to shell out the $175 (plus $175 for gas). The third annual Virgin East Coast delivers some familiar festival faces to Pimlico Race Course August 9 and 10: Kanye, NIN, and the omnipresent Jack Johnson (he's like God in that way). If Paramore's not your thing, rock pioneers Chuck Berry and Bob Dylan will be on hand. Big names in the dance tent (Moby, Underworld), too.
