Folsom Live 2011

Folsom Live 2011 went very well this year. Lots of of great bands on all the stages and having it over two days seems to have worked out very well.  Here are a few photos of the bands that played. Check out the forums for more photos and videos covering both days of the event.

English Beat at Folsom Live

A late addition to the Folsom Live lineup is ’80s rock band English Beat. Hear them below in the ’80s classic Ferris Beuller’s Day Off. Promoters have pulled out all the stops this year – Eddie Money, Los Lobos, Ronnie Milsap, and a ton of great cover bands will be in the house this weekend in what is easily the biggest Folsom Live ever. Tickets still available!

Benatar Out, Eddie Money In

Pat Benatar had to be scratched from headlining Folsom Live this year, due to an injury to her guitarist. Fortunately the concert promoters were able to find another headliner. Eddie Money, known for 80s rock hits such as “Two Tickets to Paradise”, will step in.

Los Lobos Heads Folsom Live

This year’s Folsom Live will feature Los Lobos, a band that’s been together for more than 30 years, most well known for their fame in the late ’80s and early ’90s. Joe Nichols, Big Boss Graffiti, and Tainted Love are also booked as well. Folsom Live is September 23 and 24.
