The long awaited announcement for Virgin Mobile’s FreeFest lineup was publicized earlier this morning. This specific music festival is one of the more noteworthy festivals because of the fact that the tickets are FREE. The festival takes place Saturday, September 21st at the Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Maryland, and is in its fifth year. The lineup is also favored of most festivals because of the large diversity of genres. This year, the lineup seems to lean towards a large amount of EDM acts. The focus of FreeFest is to raise money to end youth homelessness. The free tickets fly the day they are released, so be sure to be ready August 9th if you want to attend!
