MGMT to headline Rock The Garden 2010
More Just Announced
Never mind that one of the bands leaked the news six hours ago. The official announcement has been made and this year's Rock The Garden lineup looks pretty solid: MGMT, Sharon Jones And The Dap-Kings, impatient fun-ruiners OK Go, and Retribution Gospel Choir.
MGMT is in good company when it comes to past Rock The Garden headliners, which include Wilco, David Byrne, The Decemberists, The New Pornographers, Andrew Bird, Medeski Martin And Wood, and Sonic Youth.
The June 19 concert will take place in its usual spot between the Walker Art Center and the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden, starting at 3 p.m. and ending around 10:30. General admission tickets are $40, but varying levels of luxury (read: drinks, snacks, and better views) are available for $75 and $150. Walker Art Center and Minnesota Public Radio members can buy tickets now, but everyone else has to wait until April 27.
OK Go: We'll quit ragging on you for jumping the gun if you build a Rube Goldberg setup to run throughout the garden. Bonus points if you find a way to launch the cherry from the Spoonbridge.
