File Under: Yes! Yes! Yes!


Did you see what I did there? Like the way Perez Hilton always says "file under"? Sooo awesome. And speaking of sooo awesome, my favorite three piece suited frontman will be coming to Iowa. The Greater Des Moines Music coalition has just announced its 80/35 Music Festival lineup, which is shaping up to be pretty sick. And your favorite bubble walking rocker and his band of freaks, The Flaming Lips will be headlining this festival along with the mothaflippin' Roots!! And, to top it off, they've got Drive-By Truckers, Yonder Mountain String Band, and the never disappointing Girl Talk. A pretty damn good start, I have to say. Also performing will be some of Iowa's finest bands, including Public Property, Radio Moscow, Poison Control Center, and Mr. Baber's Neighbors.
The fest will be on July 4th and July 5th, and the first 1,000 two day passes will be 40 bones. After that, they'll be 50. Get more info here. Just imagine, Wayne Coyne walking on your head in a giant bubble, illuminated by hundreds of fireworks going off in the background....once in a lifetime type stuff right there.

SCOPEBLOG EXCLUSIVE INFO: That's right, you heard it here first: the uncanny Andrew Bird will be there!! Get your tix while they're hot.
