Reunion?

Post by trickster »

A new Michigan music festival is aiming for pole position among area rock fans.

A reunion of Jack White's Raconteurs and a performance by Sheryl Crow are among the highlights on tap for the inaugural MI Fest, a weekend camping event that will bow Sept. 16-18 on the grounds of Michigan International Speedway (MIS) in Brooklyn.
The fest's real coup is the Raconteurs, led by ex-Detroiters White and Brendan Benson. It will be the band's first performance since October 2008 and one of the only Jack White concerts planned for 2011.

Funny, you and I posted this at the same time. I took my link down.
I'm thinking it's time for a swirler get together in Sept...
I'm there.

If this is true it will be the best thing I've heard from TMR yet!

Or should I say from Freep?

Yep, only 20 minutes from my house, doesn't get much better than that! TMR is free to bring the RRS to my house to park it, I've got my own little parking lot and plenty of yard for them to camp out.

The fee is signing as many things as I can get in front of Jack/the band in a 20 minute period. Hahahaha.

Tickets are on sale folks, $59 until the 9th and $79 after that, VIP package for $99.

I hope for the opposite, a coming out of the studio performance.
