New York Artists Tapped For Virgin FreeFest

Once again the kind people at Virgin Mobile have decided to throw us a party. Like previous years, this year’s FreeFest will take place at the Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Md. On Saturday, Sept. 10, throngs of hipsters, ravers, hip-hop kids and even the casual listener will descend on the site for one of the best festivals in the Northeast.

The FreeFest lineup is smtacked from top to bottom with talent that should keep enthusiasts of all genres entertained during the daylong affair. The Black Keys, Cut Copy, Two Door Cinema Club and Okkervil River will share billing with electronic acts like Deadmau5, Teddybears and Eclectic Method and hip-hop artists Cee Lo Green and Big Sean.

New York will be well represented at the FreeFest with the inclusion of TV on the Radio, James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem doing a solo set and one of city’s musical legends, Patti Smith.

Check out the video below where Sir Richard Branson, chairman of Virgin, along with a number of fans, announce the lineup in its entirety.
