Vegoose Music Festival, Las Vegas, 10/27-10/28 Pt. 1
This past weekend, Vegas's own Sam Boyd Stadium was home to the 3rd annual Vegoose music festival which featured a few small-time bands you may have heard of, like Rage Against the Machine, Daft Punk, Muse, Iggy and the Stooges, and more! LAist made the obligatory road trip out to Sin City to bring you some coverage on one of the more succsessful new music fests, (which, by the way, is brought to us by the same people who put on Bonnaroo.) Check out some costumes and environmental shots after the jump, and stay tuned for some interviews, vids, and band pics later this week!
