Korn Headlines The Bash!

It's important to point out that this is the full concert experience from Korn and they were gracious enough to let us turn it into a festival.  Korn does their dubstep set then comes back out and does basically what amounts to their "greatest hits". Chevelle will also be doing a full set, along with Lacuna Coil.  As you may have noticed we'll be alternating between the two stages, including an after party in the Pavilion with three dubstep d.j.s that Korn is carrying along on tour.

FMX will also be utilizing it's Voodoo Lounge sidestage access area.  Admission to this area is with a wristband only.  These wristbands can only be won on FMX.  You will be able to sign up for some (along with tickets) in the V.I.P. /Bombsquad area  of KFMX.com.


What's With The Weird Date?

The very next day it's X-Fest 9.  This will make this the greatest weekend of straight up hard rock in Texas.  We anticipate a run on hotel rooms (see below for preferred lodging) as we've already heard from other markets who want to send people to the show.

So in short, YES the date for the FMX Birthday Bash is 4/20 with X-Fest 9 on 4/21.  The 'Bash usually takes place in February or March, but we couldn't turn down this once in a lifetime opportunity.

Want To Save Some Money?

We have another special deal on tickets.  While they last, a limited number of tickets will be sold  four for $100 (plus service charges).  Bombsquad members will be sent a special presale code and link tonight for this sale which will be TOMORROW/Thursday ONLY.  Regular tickets will go on sale on Saturday for $37.50 plus service charge.  This means a savings of $12.50 per ticket if you take advantage of the presale (or $50 overall!).  Here's the link for the presale and even the regular tickets.

Overnight?

The Baymont Inn & Suites is sponsored a totally remodeled look and is extending a $69 rate for FMX Birthday Bash and  X-Fest 9 fans.  The place is smoke free, except for the LEGENDARY Recovery Room Bar upstairs. Best of all, it's at 3901 19th so it's a straight shot to the venue at 602 E. 1ith. It's also just about ten minutes from the airport if you're flying in.
