2012 Bamboozle Headliners Announced

>> The first details for the 2012 Bamboozle Festival have been announced! This year, the festival is going back to its roots and will take place in Asbury Park, NJ rather than at The Meadowlands in East Rutherford. The festival is also happening later than usual. Rather than the first weekend in May, The Bamboozle is set for May 18th - 20th.
>> Bon Jovi, Foo Fighters, and Blink 182 have been confirmed as the festival's headliners this year. Bamboozle's founder, John D, still has plenty of surprises in store. Here's a portion of his most recent tumblr post:
There is so much i would like to share with you about Bamboozle 2012. I’m just as anxious to tell you all, as you all are for me to tell you. But, fortunately, i’m a kid at heart and i have to have fun doing so. Clues, hints, challenges and team work all lie ahead for you in the next few months. I can not wait for you guys to see this final line up, i am so proud of the work Christian Mckinght, Nadine Dunn and the rest of my amazing team this year.
LET THE GAMES BEGIN!

New Videos from NGHBRS

>> One great thing about the band NGHBRS is their live performances. Every time, the band throws something new into the mix. You will never go to one of their shows and hear exactly what's on the album. In that spirit, NGHBRS recorded a new, live version of their song "Drinking With Friends" at Converse's Rubber Tracks Studios in Brooklyn, NY.
