SunFest 2010 lineup: Weezer, Flaming Lips, Ben Harper, Shinedown and more
Looking for an excuse to check out West Palm Beach's new $30 million waterfront? Here it is.
SunFest 2010, the massive annual music festival for people who love, uh, every type of popular music, today announced its lineup, and it's a great one, with names like Weezer (above), Flaming Lips, Ben Harper and Relentless7, ZZ Top, Shinedown, Rise Against, the B-52's, Patti LaBelle and many more. This year's event is April 28-May 2 in West Palm, so make your travel plans now.
You can pine all you want for a ticket to Bonnaroo, Coachella or Lollapalooza, but if it's radio-friendly pop music you want, SunFest is one of the top fests in the country. And hey, Weezer and Flaming Lips are playing here just weeks before going to Bonnaroo, so there's that.
One-day SunFest 2010 tickets start at $30-$32 adults, $8-$10 ages 6-12. Two-day passes are $46-$50 adults, $15-$17 ages 6-12. Five-day passes are $60-$65 adults, $20-$22 ages 6-12. Kids 5 and under free; discounts for seniors. Click here for ticket details.
