But this year’s festival will no doubt feature some amazing live music but also many more fun events like in the past. Stay tuned on here for even more information and links to music from some of the artists playing this year’s Virgin Mobile FreeFest. But everyone owes Sir Richard Branson a huge thank you for not only keeping the festival in Maryland but keeping it in free. Because in this tough economy it should be music to everyone’s ears to be able to attend a music festival for free. Good luck with getting tickets FreeFest fans!
