Whartscape announces initial lineup

Here are the first 130 or so bands that will be playing at Whartscape in Baltimore this year. Some of The End of Irony's favs will be playing, including Future Islands, Adventure, and Ear Pwr. Tickets are going on sale at noon on Monday, June 29. Though tickets will be sold to individual shows and days, the Mega Pass will be available for all days for $45 (a fantastic deal and to quote Whartscape, "The strength of the mega-pass is truly mega"). Check out whamcity.com for more info or below for the full list of bands (so far) confirmed--though also to quote Whartscape, "We are goons. This information may change often."
