Treasure Island Music Festival - Sept 2008 in San Francisco

Treasure Island

NOISE POP AND ANOTHER PLANET ENTERTAINMENT ANNOUNCE 2nd ANNUAL TREASURE ISLAND MUSIC FESTIVAL TO TAKE PLACE SEPTEMBER 20th & 21st 2008

Feb 26th--San Francisco, CA--After an immensely successful inaugural year, Noise Pop and Another Planet are excited to announce that Treasure Island Music Festival will be taking place on September 20th to 21st 2008. Picking up where last year left off, the two-day celebration promises to feature a stellar and diverse lineup of music in the most breathtaking setting: smack-dab in the middle of the San Francisco Bay on the historic Treasure Island.

Organized by the creators of the Noise Pop Festival, one of the nation's longest-running music festivals, and Another Planet Entertainment, nationally established independent concert promoter based in Berkeley, CA, the Treasure Island Music Festival has been called a "full blown love affair" by SPIN.COM, and has SF WEEKLY boasting that "NorCal has its own Micro-achella."

"We are excited for the next chapter of Treasure Island Music Festival," states Allen Scott, Vice President of Another Planet Entertainment. "Based on the buzz created from last year's event, many artists want to make Treasure Island their fall tour stop. We look forward to announcing the full line-up."

"Thankfully the response to last year's event was overwhelmingly positive," adds Noise Pop co-owner Jordan Kurland, "Our goal with the second installment of the festival remains the same - to present a diverse line-up of artists that you will not find at any other festival in a setting that is impossible to replicate."

A full lineup of bands and activities are forthcoming, but for up-to-the-minute information on Treasure Island Music Festival please visit (treasureislandfestival.com)

Daft Punk and Nas!?!?! Amazing! San Francisco is the new Williamsburg.

Haven't heard from Nas in a while. Does he have a new album coming out? If so, what is it called?

i don't know if the prompt was a joke or not, but i'm gullible as hell.
