Richmond at it’s most Richmondest: Best Friends Day 10 has begun!

by | Aug 19, 2011 | POLITICS

It’s many Richmonders’ favorite holiday, and for damn good reasons. If there’s one thing this town loves, it’s soaking itself in music, friends, and yes, beer; glorious, delicious beer. But while the daytime party at Hadad’s Lake is amazing–what’s better than a day at a water park with world-class bands–Best Friends Day has plenty more to offer than being able to ignore the rule about waiting thirty minutes before swimming after gorging yourself on vegan hot dogs and suds.

Playing at the lake tomorrow are:

Against Me!

Baroness


7 Seconds


Big Freedia


The Dopamines


No BS Brass Band


New Creases


Tubers


The Haverchucks

The day at Hadad’s doesn’t sell out, so don’t worry about trying to get advance tickets. DO worry, however, about driving there if you’re going to get drunk. As in, don’t fucking drive. Take the 2BNB bus, FOR FREE, to the lake and back.

Tonight’s show is completely sold out, so too bad for you if you don’t have a ticket! Converge, Strike Anywhere, and Pg.99 headline. But Sunday’s show at The Bike Lot isn’t, and it’s going to kick ass. Playing at the bike lot, starting at 1PM ($10) are:

Corrosion of Conformity
Victims
Iron Lung
Jesuit
Magrudergrind
Little Ozzy
Dry Spell

Go and have some fun, dammit!
