Fictional Bands To Apparently Headline N.J. Fest

By now you may have read the music festival to be held on Belmont Plateau next summer has been scrapped and moved to Vineland, New Jersey. Yes, Vineland. Dan Gross reports the concert was moved to Vineland so as not to upset the impressive cross country course on Belmont Plateau.

Ha ha, of course not. “Electric Factory Concerts/LiveNation followed with a proposal, which people in the concert industry and some involved in the negotiations believed had been intended merely to keep C3 away,” Gross reports.

But enough of that. The Associated Press article concludes with an important detail about the Vineland concert:

Vineland is home of the fictional cinematic rock band Eddie and the Cruisers.

Other bands set to perform at the Vineland fest are The Monkees, The Commitments and Josie and the Pussycats.
