Dirt Fest 2008 | Saturday, August 2nd, 2008 @ The Birch Run Expo Center, Birch Run, MI 48415
$20 PRE-SALE HAS BEEN EXTENDED! July 1 2008
We will be extending $20 pre-sales until the day of show online and at ALL Dirt Fest ticket outlets!
Ticket prices were supposed to increase today but, due to an error on our part were unable to stock the Detroit ticket outlets until today. We feel it would be unfair to those in the Metro Detroit area to not have the chance to buy $20 tickets from an outlet.
We'd rather give up the $9 than have to be unfair and make our festival any less accessible to anyone. Use your $9 to put 2.1 gallons of gas in your car; go to the dollar store and buy nine nine-packs of artificial sponges; or maybe even go for the Gold Wash next time!

east coast with two supporting acts (Name/Rise of Caligula) and making
way to Dirt Fest mid-tour, then finishing the tour with some midwest dates.
The band will hit the studio shortly after returning home.
