Virgin Mobile Freefest 2012 Coming October 6

The lineup for the 2012 Virgin Mobile Freefest is coming soon (read on) but what we do know is the date the off-the-hook event will go down. Saturday, October 6, 2012 Freefest will return to the Merriweather Post Pavillion in Columbia, Maryland.

“For years, Virgin Mobile FreeFest has grown to become one of the cornerstone memories of summer,” said Ron Faris, head of Brand Marketing, Virgin Mobile USA. “And I’m proud to say that now more than ever, Virgin Mobile is steadfastly committed to our fans’ right to ‘FREE-dom,’ no matter what time of year. I just can’t wait to see what our Dance Forest looks like in all that fall foliage.“

Fueling the buzz surrounding the event, followers of Virgin Mobile Live’s Twitter account (@virginmlive) will announce the line-up.

Last year’s Virgin Mobile FreeFest line-up included The Black Keys, Deadmau5, Patti Smith, James Murphy, Cee Lo Green, Big Sean and a dozen more. I attended the show last year and it was unbelievable. A concert on steroids. There is so much going on, multiple stages, food vendors, things to do, people to gawk at, it’s amazing. I can’t wait to go again this year, AND I cannot WAIT to hear WHO will be included in the2012 FreeFest lineup.

Use the official festival hashtag #VirginMobileFreeFest when tweeting about the show, and stay tuned for information on how YOU can get your grubby little hands on some much coveted tickets. See you there!
