(CelebrityAccess MediaWire) —
Superfly Productions and AC Entertainment, creators of the Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival, have created a new event: Vegoose. The inaugural multifaceted music festival will take place in Las Vegas over Halloween weekend–October 29-30–at the Sam Boyd Stadium.
Vegoose is set to be a dynamic event with a broad range of entertainment and amusement options. The music programming will concentrate on acts that build upon the already festive Halloween-in-Vegas atmosphere with an eclectic lineup representing genres such as rock, funk, hip-hop and more. The festival will include a multitude of performance artists, attractions and art installations.
When the stadium performances end at around 10:30 pm, the festival will continue in a series of separately-ticketed late night shows in such Vegas venues as House of Blues, The Joint at the Hard Rock Hotel, The Orleans Arena and others. The late night shows will run for four nights–October 28-31. The initial round of late night shows will be announced soon.
