BUZZFEST 18 in Houston!!!

Unknown

Thats right Houstonians, Ok Go is coming to Buzzfest. OCT 8th. For those of you that don't know, Buzzfest is the end all when it comes to alternative rock concerts. It's an all day festival from station 94.5 The Buzz.

Whats funny is that I've never heard them play Ok Go. Here is the line up.

MAIN STAGE

Alice in Chains
Stone Sour
Breaking Benjamin
Avenged Sevenfold
Everclear
Crossfade
Hurt


SIDE STAGE

Evans Blue
Lostprophets
Panic Channel
Red Jumpsuit Apparatus
OK Go
Eighteen Visions
Boys Like Girls

I am really upset the guys can't be on the mainstage. Surely they are bigger than Hurt... who the hell is Hurt?

Oh well, should be great. Looking forwrad to seeing Everclear also.

Rock on! Maybe The Buzz will start playing Here It Goes again. Local people start requesting it! Everyone else go to thebuzz.com and request it. PLEASE.

Everclear??

Too bad I don't like in Houston......but when is this, anyway?

EDIT: Nevermind, I found the date, haha...

damn it falls on a sunday!! crap, i wish it would have fallen on a sat. cause i would have gone. damn me living six hours away. ugh with the exception of everclear and ok go, i don't like any of those bands playing.

That makes it, what, the 560th time they've played in Texas this year? lol

Yay for Texas, yay for OK Go.

Man I was in Houston like two weeks ago. I don't have any money to travel for a while. Well I can try. vinyl_days I feel your pain I live in Brownsville so that makes it 7 hours for me. The other bands aren't really interesting me either, but I shall try to go.

i live in the mcallen/edinburg area. i think i might just wait till the guys headline in tx which i hope they will. cause then i will miss class. cause i know i can't afford to miss microbiology alot, unless i get to see the guys headline.

Neither have I, so I was surprised when I found out they were playing it.
Tickets are so expensive though... hopefully I can win some.

Depends on how close you want to be, but:

$100 - GA pit
$60 - covered reserved seating
$45 - uncovered reserved seating
$30 - lawn

I guess to some people it's not that much money, but for a broke person like myself it is. And none of my OK Go loving friends are going to pay that much just to see one band they like. I'm interested in seeing a few of the bands though, but if I have to buy them I'll most likely be enjoying the lawn.

oh, i agree. hence my listening to the buzz for the past 4 hours in an attempt to win tickets. my first try was not completely successful... hopefully the next round (which should occur in the next 30 minutes if anyone is interested) will go better.

good luck!

i don't like the buzz, everytime i'm in houston i try to listen to that station and then like 5 minutes later i change it, cause the music gets to me after awhile.
all i listen to xm radio. xm radio like owns my life!!

i definitely know what you mean about the buzz. i never listen to it (or really any radio for that matter), so this 4 hours has been... super.

i better win these tickets. haha.

Edit: I lost again.

Aahhh! A chance to see OK Go in Houston and they are part of a festival full of bands I have no desire to see. I may try to win tickets, but otherwise I don't think I'll go. I'm already going to the Voodoo Fest in New Orleans at the end of October to see Duran Duran. I'll just wait till OK Go come back as headliners!

Hey, Rainymorn, you Duranie, you! Go check out the last page of the "Beautiful people" thread.

yeah, i agree about the buzz not being the best radio station. actually the only station i can listen to without being disgusted for a long period of time is the oldies station, but even that one has a lot of misses.

um... i'm debating whether or not to go. if i do go, i can only afford lawn seats, and what's fun about watching them far far away whilst your ass is being eaten by ants and mosquitos? if i did splurge for the "pit" i would be poked by all the hXc people's safety pins. not to mention the heat and the population's lack of deodorant.

maybe they'll schedule a show in an actual venue while they're here? i loooved the proletariot show, and i would love to see them at numbers or walters.

edit: oh, i just saw that it's at the woodlands. too far for me!

Ok Go is playing the side stage. That means if you buy lawn seat tickets it doesn't matter. You can walk right up to the front at the side stage!

i've never been to the proletariot, i've only been to the merdian (which i really liked) and the warehouse. i want to go to numbers, especially the time i was up there cause i wanted to see of montreal. who are amazing and i have yet to see them live but yah that didn't happen


doesn't the woodlands have a curfew and soundcap cause all the rich folks near that area hate loud sound late shows? that sucks!

i think i'm just going to wait till the guys headline, perhaps i can catch an austin and a houston show. if they are scheduled at the right time. (ex weekend)

i'm not sure about the curfew thing. i saw weezer there and they ran pretty late.

i was at that of montreal show at numbers, and it was amazing! they're forever touring and always hit up either houston or austin, so there's always another chance to see them.

both meridian shows were awesome too. did you see the redwalls or motion city soundtrack one?

i saw the mcs show.
i wanted to see the redwall one but it was during the middle of the week. i can usually go to shows that are on the weekend or during holiday or summer. since i don't live in houston. bleh!

i saw weezer with dashboard at the verizon wireless in san antonio. it was awesome but damn it was hot!
