Kanrocksas Music Festival
Awful, awful name, but it's a new music festival that runs August 5-6 at Kansas Speedway in KCK. Lineup includes Muse, Eminem, The Black Keys, The Flaming Lips, The Arctic Monkeys, A Perfect Circle, Kid Cudi, Girl Talk, Flogging Molly, Jack's Mannequin, and apparently there are more that they haven't yet announced.
$179/ticket ($159 early bird) and they go on sale tomorrow. Parking and camping are free. I figured it would be a much cheaper alternative to Outside Lands, which I was really considering going to. The lineup isn't as good, but I can deal with that since it's 20 miles from home. Anyone else interested? http://www.kanrocksas.com/ |
Sorry...Kanrocksas?

I will be there. Lineup works for me.
|
Pretty solid lineup..... might be fun...
|
Yea that's a pretty damned solid lineup so far from top to bottom. I'm thinking I'll be back in town for this festival.
|
Terrible name. But I'm sort of proud of the festival because a friend of mine did the booking for the festival. She's been in the concert promotion biz for three years or so, and this is easily her biggest project yet.
|
Seeing that Opeth just signed on for the Bonnaroo music festival in Tennessee, (a festival which also booked Eminem and the Black Keys.) I'm going to hold a naive hope that they or Porcupine Tree will sign on for this Kanrockass extravaganza.
|
This lineup is sick. I'm praying that the Foo Fighters join this list since Lolla just announced they are headlining.
I will be there, not sure about the camping part though. |
My gal and I are going. I think my mom (who I just went with this past summer to see Tool and Alice in Chains/Deftones) might want to go with me as well. Should be a killer time.

Otherwise, Muse is great.... and I don't mind Eminem on cd... (Live rap shows are shit). I've seen APC live twice and they didn't impress me... (Maynard just isn't as cool and mysterious as he was back in Aenima/Lateralus days) The rest of the lineup I could give 2 shits about. |

You have some gangster wannabe rapper up on stage singing to a backing track with a giant posse of reeruns doubling every 4th word. Most of the time you are witnessing them pulling up their pants, and watching the long dangling chain swing back and forth while they throw gang signs. Now, would I love to witness an 8-Mile type rap battle? Sure. |
Opeth is booked August 5 in Portugal.
|
Porcupine Tree already has their tour lined up, starting August 11. The tour will be closest to here on August 22 (StL)

Correction, August 23. August 22 is in Memphis
|
Eminem is great live. Gives it his all. Plus he doesn't perform much so he's fresh and full of angriness.
|
$180 isn't worth it considering who's all gonna perform there.
I paid $30 for my Rockfest ticket....and the band lineup is going to be much better. Winner = Rockfest |

I think the Prolific might be there as well. I like them as a kc band. chick lead singer.
|
Any ideas on where the best place to drop off concert goers and pick them up later would be? I'm not going in, I just want to let them out somewhere close to where they need to be.
|
You can drop them off in Rocklahoma. There they can take the bus to Colorocko, then catch the train to Kanrocksas.

As someone who attended the first one, i spent that hot ass weekend at kansas speedway in 2011, i have a great memory of this show. i saw primus, the black keys, a perfect circle, muse, eminem, fitz and the tantrums, the flaming lips, and many more that i can't remember right now. it was a weekend of great music, the staff provided an excellent venue, and a great time was had by all. so needless to say i was pumped up, and ready to hear the 2013 line up. lets start with the first band they mention, fun. all i know about them is i heard them on SNL, and didn't like them. then it gets dicey as there are only a few bands i really like on this list. the avett brothers, edward sharpe and the magnetic zeros, and pretty lights are the only three bands i care to sit through. i'm let down yet again this week... |
Terrible lineup. I'd rather make the trek out to Bonnaroo and spend the extra time and money.
|
My wife really likes the band Fun, so I may get stuck going to that. Hopefully she can get one of her sisters to go with, otherwise I think I'm investing in ear plugs.

If you like rap, then this lineup rules. Kendrick Lamar, Danny Brown, Killer Mike, and Action Bronson all on the same bill? That's exciting. Not to mention the R&B dynamo that is Miguel.
|
Might as well call it Pitchfork festival.

as for the gas to waka, well, we car pool, and it saves alot. if i have to choose, which i do, i'm choosing the woods of wakarusa over kanrocksas. had the bill been as good, in my opinion, as it was in 2011, i'd have no problem going to it instead. |

At least it's not during the hottest weekend of the year. Sadly, the lineup isn't close to what it was the first year.
