• The Mars Volta and Yeah Yeah Yeahs to headline Monolith

  Update: Just in case you haven't been keeping tabs, this year's Monolith line-up has been shaping up rather nicely.

On a related note, Monolith, which added Chromeo to the line-up last week, earned a nod from Outside Magazine as one of the best summer music fests. Yay, Monolith!For a limited time only (i.e. until they are all gone) you can get two-day tickets to Monolith for just $75 -- and I mean just $75: no bullshit fees added on.
