BEN HARPER AND RELENTLESS7, PUBLIC ENEMY, MATISYAHU, STEPHEN MALKMUS AND THE JICKS, AND MORE TO PERFORM AT THE SECOND ANNUAL 80/35 MUSIC FESTIVAL

DES MOINES, Iowa (April 7, 2009) — National headliners will converge with top local and regional acts at 80/35 presented by U.S. Cellular on July 3 and 4 in downtown Des Moines’ Western Gateway Park. 80/35, the second annual summer music festival organized by the Greater Des Moines Music Coalition (DMMC), announced 11 of the more than 40 acts scheduled to appear over 4th of July weekend.

Acclaimed national acts Ben Harper and Relentless7, Public Enemy, Matisyahu, Stephen Malkmus and The Jicks, G. Love & Special Sauce, and Girl In A Coma will celebrate their Independence Day weekend at the epicenter of Interstates 80 and 35 (80/35). House of Large Sizes, The Josh Davis Band, Beati Paoli, Cleo’s Apartment, and Floodplane are among the Iowa-homegrown bands announced. Additional acts will be announced in the coming weeks.

Last years’ 80/35 drew an estimated 30,000 people to see more than 40 acts on four stages, including The Flaming Lips, The Roots, Andrew Bird, Black Francis, and Drive By Truckers. The 2009 80/35 will again feature more than 40 acts over the two-days. The festival will include acts in both free and paid areas of the event. Both areas will house interactive art, activities, vendors, resting places, food and beverage sales, and plenty more. A fireworks display is planned for Saturday, July 4.

“Since the inaugural 80/35, Des Moines has seen a surge of promoters bringing new and exciting music to the city,” says Amedeo Rossi, DMMC project manager. “The goal of the DMMC is to grow the city’s music scene and we see a lot of activity out of our local bands with new records and tours. This year’s event will continue to expand the growing base of music fans and provide an even higher profile for the Des Moines music scene.”

Advance tickets are on sale now at IowaTix.com: $70 two-day pass, $35 Friday single day pass, and $45 Saturday single day pass. There will be a limited number of advance single day passes available. VIP passes to the festival have sold out.

tevs.

really disappointed by this lineup. i mean, i hope it's successful and all, but very little here of interest besides public enemy.

might go to pitchfork fest.

G Love and Matisyahu? Shit is going to sell out.

stephen malkmus and the Jicks are really good, at least on tape. I really liked all of Pig Lib, and 2/3 of Face the Truth, I haven't heard the third one yet.
Like to see what it's like live, don't know about $35 for ONE band.

i saw them once actually, opening for radiohead. it was bad bad bad bad

I heard that Johnny Reeferseed & The High Rollers will be playing the Hiland stage at 4:20 on Saturday. Free potato chips for all!

SERIOUSLY
im out.

LOBAS, FTW

Seems that someone forgot to tell them that they need a band with a name that will draw people. This seems to be an endless list of flash in the pan. The point of a festival is to draw everyone in with a couple of big names and then pad the rest with up and comers.

I'm old and out of the general loop but other than Against Me, Less Than Jake, and maybe a couple of other bands I've heard mentioned in passing, who the hell are all these bands on Warped Tour this year? http://vanswarpedtour.com/event/id/38196 I was kind of excited when I heard it was coming to CB until I saw the line up.

The 80/35 Music Festival announced 13 new bands today, including hip hop acts
Blackalicious
YelaWolf
BBU
and local group DCM,
Gold Motel
Generationals
NewVillager
Cory Chisel
Whitewater Ramble
along with Iowa bands
The Envy Corps, Brother Trucker, Cashes Rivers and Mr. Baber's Neighbors
