Philly's Own Music Festival... Sort Of.

Vldlogo_md.gif

Go across the Walt Whitman Bridge and take the North-South Freeway to Route 55. Travel South on Route 55 for about 25 miles, and you'll find yourself in Vineland, New Jersey. (Insert wisecrack about Vineland's awesomely bad municipal website here.) Why would you go to Vineland? Well, at the moment, you probably wouldn't. But next summer, you might have a reason to. Paste Magazine is reporting that C3 Presents—the force behind Lollapalooza and the Austin City Limits and Big State music festivals—is teaming up with Live Nation subsidiary Festival Republic, which puts on a number of festivals in the U.K., to bring a festival to Vineland. Apparently the promoters wanted to have the event in Philadelphia proper but couldn't get through the red tape. So instead, it will be held in New Jersey. (See? This Phillyist's home state is good for something!) No acts are confirmed, but if C3 can put together even close to the kind of lineup they assemble for Austin City Limits or Lollapalooza, we'll be there. The as-yet unnamed festival will take place August 8-10.
