Geto Boys, Geto Boys!!!!!!!!!! Shit I would pay a house note to see Willie D, Scarface & Bushwick Bill live in concert. Been waiting for this since 8th grade and I'm 30 now. Thank you Free Press! Thank you Houston Press for the post!!!!!!!

@TheMightyQuinn Wimps? Yeah wimps if by wimps you mean people that don't want to pay big bucks for tickets and drinks, sit in the hot ass sun 10 hours for 2 good bands of us have already seen? count me as a wimp,...

The Mavericks! Yippee!! Can't wait.

I really hope they don't sell as many tickets this year. Holy crap, the crowd was crazy big last year. You had to go directly from the beer line to the port o potty line.

Huzzah Uzoy and Dj Sun, not so sure on Kitty Pyrde and Macklemore. I say replace Pryde with some other, you know, real act. Anything, like Weird Al.

Social Distortion and The Geto Boys. Thats 2 good groups. like most musical festivals its a sea of sh#t with a few good acts. Social D and The Geto Boys can carry the whole festival though.

grrrrrrrr

@megablast9 Social D wouldn't exist if it weren't for Iggy & The Stooges

megablast9

@grrrrrrrr @megablast9 All that means is that Iggy and the Stooges greatest accomplishment is helping Social Distortion exist. thanks Iggy!

Chas Hollis

Kitty Pryde, Gogol Bordelo and TV on The Radio

Oh, crap. Good point, Judith. No WAY am I going to bother with this. I'll be glad I'm in Austin not Houston at that time in June!

Iggy & the Stooges played ACL Fest last year and it was SURREAL! I may just try to be in Houston for this to see if they do it again... I truly felt like I was in a punk club in 1977 New York at the Iggy & the Stooges show...and I was only 4 that year!

Judith Cruz Villarreal

good line-up but still too hot for me to attempt :-/ they should make a free press fall fest!

jcrossley

? What does Geto Boys mean?!?

j_simmons

Really impressive lineup!! But how come no The Eastern Sea? They've been on this fest every year since it started, always look forward to their set

bobbydigi

@j_simmons I doubt they are done adding local acts. I would bet on dozen more. I've seen Eastern Sea every year of the fest too, going back to the Block Parties... hope they're added!
