Sanity Loan Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 According to Billboard, Green Day are set to headline the inaugural NiFi Music Fest this August in Kentucky. The new music festival, put on by Nitro Fidelity and Speedway Motorsports Inc., is set to take place August 28-30 at the Kentucky Speedway in Sparta, Kentucky. Other headliners to join Green Day are Miranda Lambert and Kings of Leon. Additional acts at the three day festival include Weezer, Flogging Molly, Spoon, Bleachers, and more contemporary rock and country acts. Tickets to the festival go on sale May 28th at 10:00am ET for $245 and are good for all three days. Tickets will be available for purchase through NiFi's website. The festival is the first of potentially more similar festivals to take place at other Speedway Motorsports Inc.-owned tracks in the US. Whether Green Day would play those, who knows. http://www.greendayauthority.com/news/5112/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chin for a Day Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 I really wish I lived in Kentucky right now. But, at least they are starting to tour again. Please NY next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Fairly shitty lineup, but considering it's basically in Hannah's backyard we'll probably end up going if we have money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 I'm legitimately impressed that the people who put this festival together managed to create such a completely shitty line-up. It's not worth upwards of $300, even with Green Day in the line-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cori Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Green Day is going to be playing less than two hours away from me but it's a festival that may or may not have single day passes and is happening after I'll have already started back to college. Well. Unexpected and pretty random news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lizziebix Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Darn. If I still worked for my old company I could get in as an employee. They are the food vendor for alll those speedways. Such is life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chin for a Day Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 So the tickets go on sale tomorrow. You have to love their timing. The festival promoters are probably kissing GD's asses as we speak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 My question is, why is Green Day agreeing to play this shit hole? I mean, it'll be hilarious for them to perform American Idiot while surrounded by everything that inspired American Idiot, but that's the only upside I can see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Libertine Angel Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 I mean, it'll be hilarious for them to perform American Idiot while surrounded by everything that inspired American Idiot, but that's the only upside I can see Maybe that's why, they're thinking about getting back to political stuff and they're using this to show that.

And as Céadóg said $ talks so they were probably offered a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
