No, I’m the king…

Vegoose Music Festival
October 27-31, 2006

If you even need any sort of explanation for why this is cool, you are uncool. I’m sorry — I didn’t want to be the one to tell you — but it’s true.

Also, download stuff from Vegoose 2005 here.

    5 days in Vegas seems a tad excessive.

    Too much time in Vegas??? say what?……the perfect city for a music festival as excessive as VEGOOSE!!!!!!!!!!! Vegas is great because it scares off the thin skinned people who are afraid of all the “babylonian monstrosities …you know bro’….those temples built in worship of money”…….yeah, that and all that other great fun stuff that makes the city so great! Can’t Wait!

    Whatever you want to say about Las Vegas being Babylon or Sodom or both; The Vegoose festival is the way to experience Halloween in
    Las Vegas, without question. Spend the morning by the Bellagio pool, maybe the eggs with hash, some freshly squeezed, and a cappuccino;
    then get your bands all mapped out and head over to the V.i.P. in time to cop a semi-delicious, camp-food style lunch, and as much good beer, or Bacardi and Coke as you can carry, up to the Righteous Viewing Lane, and grip some Righteous Spearhead, Flaming Lips, or Funky Meters from close enough to mop their sweat off of your brow. If you’re strategic you can avoid the spinners and the smelly, roster fattening Jam band scene, and see a day of great, fresh, song-oriented bands, add this to the hassle-free buzz-maintenance of NO RESTROOM LINES, ALL DAY LONG, and then a head busting set by Beck, a little Primus and back to the strip for some more high end
    misadventuring by way of the late night shows, and then back for more and more…you have to hate fun to not like a weekend, THAT weekend in Las Vegas. Do it again? Hell yes! Already got permission.

    i disagree that vegoose beats out moedown and especially summercamp . they were both steller festivals with clean vibes, happy campers, onsite music for 4 days, and much more. not to say that i am not obsessed with VEGOOSE, cuz i most definately am!
    when do you guys think vegoose will announce preliminary artists?? how many months in advance do festivals ussually announce that stuff? thanks guys.. any costumes suggestions(easy and not to hot!?)
