Awesome! Thanks for getting this out Allyson, going to have to do a lot of walking between stages!

ok, stressing a bit about some bands overlapping. i guess i'll figure it out. I can hardly wait to get to MD on Friday Night. Yeah You Right! Thanks for posting Ally.

[Kenny Ozz]

Im stoked for this. Were driving from Cincinnati to see it. I hate the overlapping set times but whatever. And I dont get why SLAMM is the 2nd stage headliner. My guess was that they were going to be the OPENER. And why in the hell is Keel after LA Guns, Steel Panther, and Bullet Boys?

Cool, thanks for posting Allyson.

I just wish that there was an "80's rock" festival in Michigan like this! Damn, LOL

[Tommy]

this really needs to tour its better than Cruefest easily

[Rob Rockitt, Hardrockhideout.com]

Man it really blows that I am going to have to leave during Y&T's set, but I will not miss Jetboy. These times overlapping kind of sucks, but its still going to be an awesome day.

[Heather]

I really wish I could go!!!

[Damnp78]

Thanks Ally ! I dont get the KIX slot but whatever... it's still a damn good line-up

[Retrospect Records]

Best one-day line-up in America.

[KixRules]

Sam we finally agree on something!!!! lol

[Fitz]

Cant fuckin wait, were flying in for this festival Its suppose to be 80 degrees sunny no rain!! They better have plenty of beer!! See you guys there

[KixRules]

Fitz...there will be plenty of beer but its $8 (for 24 onze Bud Light)...try to tailgate in the parking lot prior to get some beers in before having to pay $8 all day long.

[kari]

yeah, what's up for pre-party festivites?

[Bone]

Kix is playing this slot because this is their home. They will have a huge crowd. Look forward to partying with you crazies...

[Fitz]

Can you come and go out of the venue or are you stuck in there once you enter?

[Kixkixsass]

You are stuck in there once you enter

[local]

we have a friend who works at the pavilion - we are going ONLY to see Kix!

[Big Bottoms]

UPDATE:
I heard a rumor that Y&T has switched set times with Jetboy

[Kenny Ozz]

And we have officially started a "who is gonna bitch about their time-slot first" office pool. I got 50 bucks on Don Dokken.

[KixRules]

Big bottoms...where did you hear that? Why would Y&T switch to the side stage to only play 20 minutes later? Makes no sense for them to do that.
