After losing a reported $5 million on the inaugural HullabaLOU, Churchill Downs Inc. cancelled next year's festival and put down its entertainment division today. In a press release, CDI blamed the festival's poor showing on hot weather and a cold economy.
See if you can spot the difference between the Kenny Chesney fans and
the Dave Matthews Band fans. I'll give you a hint - there's more to it
than the headgear.
Dave Matthews Band headlined Sunday's HullabaLOU festival at Churchill Downs in Louisville, KY. Dressed all in black, Dave Matthews himself exclaimed to the crowd, "I thought it would smell a little more like horse shit!" and then ripped in to "You might die trying".
Who would’ve thought Louisville would turn out to be a music festival Mecca? First there was Forecastle; now there’s HullabaLOU, a brand-new music festival to be held at Churchill Downs this weekend, July 23–25. With musical acts ranging from Al Green to Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes to the B-52s to Bon Jovi and the Dave Matthews Band, there truly is something for everybody.
The legendary Dave Matthews Band (DMB) will be performing Sunday June 25, 2010 at HullabaLOU in Louisville, KY. DMB was formed by the band's namesake in 1991 in Charlottesville, Virginia. All the musicians in the band come from differing genres including jazz, classical, soul, rock, bluegrass, and hip-hop. This fact makes an eclectic sound which earned DMB fans from all genres.
Country group, Zac Brown Band will be performing this coming Sunday at Louisville, KY's HullabaLOU. Zac Brown Band has been around for years, but 2010 has proven to be a winner for them. They won a GRAMMY for "Best New Artisit", "Top New Vocal Group" from the Academy of Country Music Awards, and "Breakthrough Video of the Year" from Country Music Television (CMT Awards).
