Support the independent voice of Houston and help keep the future of Houston Press free.
If Rocks Off learned anything at iFest these past two weekends, it's that we should have started our own bottled-water franchise. And that when you go to a music festival, it's a good idea to know who is playing and when. Running around willy-nilly is all well and good unless it's 95 degrees outside.
We're going to go ahead and assume you already know who is playing Free Press Summer Fest June 4 and 5 in Eleanor Tinsley Park. Now, moments ago, the festival released the schedule of stages and set times.

As for tickets, two-day passes are still available, but dwindling fast. Fancy Pants passes are gone (we think). If you really want to do Summer Fest in style, the festival is now offering the opportunity to rent one of ten "Baller Cabanas," hilltop tents that come with six Fancy Pants passes, plenty of seating, a fan, and two cases of beer, one bottle of Dulce Vida tequila and champagne apiece per day, all for the low, low price of about $2,100.
Or, if you're on a different kind of budget, passes for Saturday and Sunday's Summer Fest afterparties at Fitzgerald's are on sale for $5 at the venue's Web site, but are only valid if you already have a FPSF pass. The other way to get into the festival is to volunteer. See complete information at freepresssummerfest.com or pegstar.net.

Keep the Houston Press Free... Since we started the Houston Press, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Houston, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Houston with no paywalls.
