We like rock music more than you. It's just the way it is…

The Virgin Mobile FreeFest, which takes place at the Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Maryland, has announced the lineup for their free event. If you’re a fan of indie-rock and dance/electronic music, then this is the festival for ya.



As you can see by the giant eagle in the picture up top, the festival goes down on September 25th and features two separate areas. You’ve got the stage at Merriweather which features acts like Jimmy Eat World, Pavement, M.I.A and Thievery Corporation. Then you have the surrounding grounds which include performances from Matt & Kim, LCD Soundsystem, Yeasayer, The Temper Trap and others.

Also, at both sites, there’s a dance forest which will include mind-melting sets from Sleigh Bells, Chromeo, Neon Indian, Modeselektor and Die Antwoord. So with all this music, how will you ever afford tickets to this thing? I remind you, once again, that it’s for FREE.

Tickets can be “bought” starting Saturday, July 24th at Ticketfly.com. If you purchase the tickets and print them online or pick them up from the Merriweather box office or the 9:30 Club box office in Washington, D.C. you won’t drop a dime. If you have the tickets mailed to you, however, there will be a small service charge. You can also buy premium tickets, which means you’ll get pavilion seating, and a portion of the proceeds will go to homeless charities.
