check out the lineup at the bottom.

A giant, three-stage Spring Break music festival based here and broadcast live on YouTube would be a “train wreck” for locals, the City Council said Thursday.

“And I believe that we will regret this for the rest of our lives” if it happens, Ward 4 Councilman Ken Nelson said soon after a promoter laid out his idea.

The proposal, a “1st Annual Beach Scene Music Festival,” a massive corporate-sponsored event featuring almost 60 performers and drawing as many as 100,000 people over two weekends in March 2010, met stern rejection at the council’s regular meeting...............

In my experience, you call anything the "First Annual ..." and it's doomed.

this is the good ol boy network in bay county in full force.

as a music junkie and festival goer, im disappointed. but, this lineup stinks. if we could have something more similiar to mag fest, im sure it would be a hit even with the good ol boys..

They could move thunderbeach to spring break and deputize the bikers to provide security. What could possibly go wrong?
