Halloween weekend and tired of the same old costume party? Well imagine a huge costume party - and mega-concert - rolled into one, in the place that is one big costume party all year round, Las Vegas! That gives you a hint of what to expect at VEGOOSE. Saturday and Sunday, October 29 and 30, at Sam Boyd Stadium and on the surrounding grounds, will be the launch of a Las Vegas Halloween festival extravaganza, VEGOOSE. The stellar mix includes Atmosphere, Slightly Stoopid, Digable Planets, King Britt Presents Sister Gertrude Morgan, Talib Kweli and Blackalicious along with about 25 other luminary bands, and you have the basis for the powerful witches brew.

If the MO seems familiar, that is because the producers of this event are Superfly Productions and AC Entertainment, the same dynamic duo who brought us the now legendary annual Bonoroo Music & Arts Festival, a four-day, multi-stage camping festival held on a 700-acre farm in Manchester, Tennessee June 10-12. Apparently building Bonoroo into an international-class festival in just 4 years was just not enough these guys.

Consistent with their tendency to defy tradition, the mega festival will be held in the entertainment capital of the world, Las Vegas, heretofore ignored as a music festival site. So of course Las Vegas glam entertainment such as the Blue Man Group will be part of the fun. Why not spit in the face of traditions where audiences are warned not to wear costumes on Halloween weekend (which is half the fun), and encourage costumes to the big party? No reason at all…the party is definitely on, costumes and all!!

Tickets for the two-day festival at Sam Boyd Stadium are available at www.vegoose.com.

In addition to the events at the stadium, VEGOOSE will be augmented by a
series of special late night performances from October 28-31 at select
venues throughout Las Vegas, including the Joint at the Hard Rock Hotel, the
House of Blues at Mandalay Bay, the Orleans Arena and other venues. These
shows will be ticketed separately.
