Music Fest Season Is Coming-Get Your Summer Camp, Pitchfork, Lollapalooza, and Northcoast Tickets Today




Here's Lolla Co-Founder Tor Hyam's creative kids, Sydnie and Lyon, with the Kidzapalooza line up announcement.   Du-Jay and Sagezilla have gone every year and wouldn't miss "lucky number 7" for anything!   They've grown up "Kidza" and it's been fun to watch Sydnie and Lyon grow up and into new roles, too.    Sydnie's going to help stage manage this year and already helps her dad MC and introduce bands.    Sydnie and Lyon also help their dad, Tor, with Kindicast.    Check out ChiIL Mama's interview with Tor HERE.

Summer Camp Music Festival:   Memorial day weekend- We'll be posting photo filled slide shows, ChiIL Mama's original interview with festival producer Jay Goldberg and video interviews with a number of parents who bring their kids to music fests.    Check out some of our past coverage HERE.

The Summer Camp Music Festival was started in 2001 at Three Sisters Park in Chillicothe, IL. The first year's festival hosted over 20 bands on 2 stages over the course of two days. Since that first year, the Summer Camp Music Festival has grown to more than 65 bands on 6 stages over 4 days. Artists that have performed at the Summer Camp Music Festival in past year's include: moe., Umphrey's McGee, The Flaming Lips, Willie Nelson, Les Claypool, Keller Williams, O.A.R., The Roots, George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic, Gov't Mule, Leftover Salmon, The Avett Brothers, Method Man & Redman, Girl Talk, Yonder Mountain String Band and many, many more!



Pitchfork:  We've already given a shout out when Pitchfork first released their line up and early bird tickets.    If you're still slacking off and haven't gotten tickets yet, click the link above and get on it.   We plan to be there all weekend and will have a photo filled feature for you.   But nothing compares to being 
there.

kid policy:   Kids under 10 are free with paying adult.   Kids from 826Chi, the awesome writing workshop center, will be covering Pitchfork as journalists!   So keep an eye out for these talented young writers.   Dave Eggers, author-editor-publisher and founder of 826 writing centers nationwide, just came to visit Du-Jay's class yesterday before a sold out evening appearance.   Dave and Du-Jay share a passion for writing and drawing and the same birthday!
