Cypress Hill’s SMOKEOUT FESTIVAL 09 Wrapup

It was long overdue but Cypress Hill and Guerilla Union brought their Smokeout Festival back to Southern California after a 6 year absence and needless to say the lineup they put together may go down as the best in the franchise’s history. Mixing a collection of hip hop icons, rocks most ferocious acts, and can’t miss reunions, the Smokeout was blazing from top to bottom both days….literally! Check out our host Jayme Foxx with backstage interviews and great live performances from SUBLIME, SLIPKNOT, CYPRESS HILL, DEFTONES, PENNYWISE, and more right here.

LOLLAPALOOZA WRAP UP 2009
Even a huge downpour on opening day and record high humidity on Saturday and Sunday couldn’t dampen the spirits of the crowds that flooded Chicago for Lollapalooza weekend. Boasting the best 3 day musical lineup of 2009, the crowd was treated to the most eclectic round of acts in recent years. From the Lollapalooza originators (Janes Addiction), to last minute headliners (Yeah Yeah Yeahs), to the biggest rock band of the moment (Kings of Leon), this festival had it all. Other acts turning in amazing sets were TV ON THE RADIO, THE KILLERS, RISE AGAINST, COLD WAR KIDS, and the crowd favorite of the entire weekend, SNOOP DOGG! Check out our wrapup of the massive 3 day event right here:
