Tickets go on sale ($100 for a 3-day pass) this Friday, May 2nd at TheTenthRitual.com.
3 bands that peaked either a decade ago(NIN, STP), or two decades ago(REM)….
Keep in mind that this is probably more of a 10th anniversary lineup rather than a super-current one.
No, Voodoo Fest has a long history of booking bands as “headliners” long after they’ve peaked, both commercially and creatively (Rage Against the Machine, Garbage, No Doubt, Blues Traveler, Bush, Stone Temple Pilots five different times, Live, Smashing Pumpkins, the list goes on).
They should just rename it “Leftover Fest”.
