It's got to suck to be B.B. King and be billed lower than Justin Bieber.

15 bucks a day? That's utterly insane, considering the lineup, and it's certainly more diverse than other festivals

I didn't believe the lineup, I had to google it.

I'd be there for a lot more than $15 a day, although looking at the schedule, most of the notable acts play at 10pm, so it's usually a pick one situation. That American Idols Live/NERD/Scorpions/The Bravery/YES/O.A.R./The Devil Wears Prada/Slightly Stoopid conflict is brutal.
