BANG! MUSIC FESTIVAL RETURNS TO MIAMI AS TWO-DAY MUSIC FESTIVAL SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 10 AND SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 11
THE SMASHING PUMPKINS AND KANYE WEST
TO HEADLINE
THE BRAVERY, RIVERBOAT GAMBLERS,
AUTOMATIC LOVELETTER AND KEVENS
ALSO CONFIRMED
TICKETS GO ON SALE SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 1 AT 10:00 AM EST
Haddad Productions, the promoters for the BANG! MUSIC FESTIVAL, have announced their 2007 event is set for the Bayfront Park Amphitheater in Miami and will be extended to two days. The southeast's newest and most diverse music event will take place Saturday, November 10 and Sunday, November 11 and is anchored by headliners the Smashing Pumpkins and Kanye West.
Confirmed for Saturday, November 10 is Kanye West along with Riverboat Gamblers and Automatic Loveletter. Headlining Sunday, November 11 is The Smashing Pumpkins--in their only Florida appearance this year--with The Bravery and Kevens supporting. Unlike last year's BANG!--which featured a diverse roster of major rock and alternative acts along with a heavy dance music line-up set over three outdoor stages and two massive tents--2007's participating talents will perform on one main stage. The full line-up of 30 expected acts will follow at a later date.
"We are expanding to two days simply to allow fans ample time to enjoy themselves and to really take in the music," states Philippe Haddad, CEO of Haddad Productions. "I feel that we had so much going on last year that people didn't really have a chance to experience all the artists they had anticipated seeing. Additionally, the Bayfront Park Ampitheatre has superior acoustics and sound quality that will deliver an unparalleled experience to this year's BANG! attendees."
The sound will be provided by V-dosc-one of the world's best sound systems-thus ensuring that festivalgoers will be privy to the ultimate sound quality available. The BANG! MUSIC FESTIVAL will also have mist tents, Port-o-lets, food concessions of various fare, clothing and jewelry vendors, bleachers for general admission guests, an eco-village, and onsite ATMS.
The BANG! MUSIC FESTIVAL debuted in 2005 with a heavy dance music lineup representing artists from all different facets of the genre with live performances by Fischerspooner, Front 242, Brazilian Girls, VHS or BETA and Chicks On Speed as well as a heavy-hitter DJ line-up that included ATB, Judge Jules, DJ Icey, Bad Boy Bill and over 40 more turntable talents. 2006's bill diversified with such acts as Duran Duran, Daft Punk, Gnarls Barkley, Modest Mouse, Kinky, Tiësto, Junior "Gong" Marley and more, with Evelyn McDonnell of the Miami Herald stating in her review: "...the BANG! Music Festival finally struck a chord with South Florida concertgoers Saturday night at Bicentennial Park. Approximately 20,000 colorfully garbed celebrants turned out to hear more than 50 dance, alternative, Latin, rock, and reggae acts on five stages" (11/13/06).
Tickets for the BANG! MUSIC FESTIVAL go on sale Saturday, September 1 at 10:00 am ET and can be purchased through www.BangMusicFestival.com. They will be available at $75 per day pre-sale and $250 per day for VIP.

| So I hear their opening ticket sales are less than 100 people because they didn't release any DJ's for some reason. I don't understand, do they not want to make money? Its Miami, you just alienated 50% of your customers by not having any DJ's headline! Save yourselves the money and just dont throw it this year, kanye west almost always shows up late (he admits it in his new STOLEN daft punk cover), unless daft punk jumps out and does all kanye's beats live then this will be a horrible event. Get tiesto, get rabbit!!!!! What are you doing Bang makers???? What is wrong with you??? The smashing pumpkins dont even have the same band members but have the same name? Unless they play ALL old stuff fans will not like it. Everyone I know was so excited for the headliners and we feel like we got a big taken on us. I understand diverse music, but thats all crap rock and a rapper? Get daft punk, or benny benassi, or somethin reggae again, do something fast or there will be no Bang at all :( |

He paid Daft Punk somewhere around a million dollars to use "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger." I'd say that borrowed is probably a more appropriate term.
It should also be noted that he is not covering Daft Punk so much as he is incorporating their sound into his own. Much like a strawberry, rhubarb pie incorporates both strawberry and rhubarb deliciousness. Separate they are still good but together they are better.
I'm not saying I support/like Kanye nor am I saying that his song is better than Daft Punk's original. It's just food for thought...ya dig? |
