Think that sounds interesting? Those of you in the Midwest who can't make it out to the Left Coast should check out Cornerstone, which, from what I've heard, is akin to Woodstock (aside from the fact that Cornerstone is a Christian festival). The following artists, among many others, are schedules to appear:
Ace Troubleshooter
Agony Scene
Anberlin
As I Lay Dying
Beloved
Bleach
Blindside
Cool Hand Luke
Copeland
Demon Hunter
Denison Witmer
Disciple

P.O.D.
Pedro The Lion
Pillar

Seventh Star
Side Walk Slam
Sinai Beach
Skillet
Squad Five-O

Nice list, eh? Lots of lesser-known, excellent bands, and a few bigtime artists. I've not gone in the past, due to the timing of the festival and other conflicts, but I'm hoping to this year. July 1-4 in Bushnell, IL, y'all should check it out!
