Ghostface, Walkmen, Furnaces Rock Cincinnati

Desdemona Festival

We've got another live one for ya. Pull out those summer music festival maps and add Cincinnati, Ohio's Desdemona Festival to the list. From June 23-25, the not-so-lil' Midwestern town will be home to a big fat weekend of rock (and electro and hip-hop).

Taking place right on the Ohio River at Sawyer Point Waterfront Park, the brand new fest features performances from Ghostface Killah, the Walkmen, Fiery Furnaces, Annie, Apples in Stereo, Stellastarr*, the Stills, Mates of State, Radio 4, Enon, Heartless Bastards, We Are Scientists, Rogue Wave, Northern State, Richard Swift, Saturday Looks Good to Me, the Double, Au Revoir Simone, Aberdeen City, and many more.

All that, and kids under 10 get in free! Britney and K-Fed! Brangelina! Bennifer! Bring Sean Preston, Shiloh, Maddox and co. along! "Introduce a young child to indie rock-- it's the right thing to do," sez the Desdemona website. True dat.

According to the man behind the fest, organizer Nick Spencer, the event "is a non-profit effort driven by Cincinnati Tomorrow, an organization working to make Cincinnati a more attractive place for young and creative people." Well, good luck with that.
