All the Shows Fit to Print

Friday night, the shirtless and barefooted masses gather for an all-star lineup at Wakarusa, with performances by Cake, Blackalicious, Arrested Devlopment, Built to Spill, Del the Funky Homosapien, Mates of State and the Flaming Lips. Watch out for chiggers, lice.

Friday night also marks the first day of Midwest Fest, aka Punks on the Prairie, a two-day barrage of punk and hardcore bands split between the Replay Lounge and the Jackpot. Locals Der Todesking, Spook Lights and Sucked Dry play alongside touring acts Clusterfux and Roskopp . Watch out for staph infections.
