OK Go to play Tulip Fest
OK Go. And a pony.
OK Go will be headlining the music slate at this year's Tulip Festival. You've probably seen their now-famous treadmill video -- or their latest, Rube Goldberg-inspired video. As it happens, they also play fun music.
The Tulip Festival is May 8 and 9 this year. OK Go will be playing Saturday afternoon. Like all the Tulip Fest shows, it's free.
Also: SPAC announced today that Kings of Leon will playing there June 6. Tickets go on sale this Saturday.

Cool! That treadmill video kicks ass (the song is good too).

Yaay! I was debating if it was worth a trip to NoHo to see them next month, but this is even better!

Weren't they at Tulipfest already? Does anyone else recall this?

@Sue: They played the Tulip Fest a few years ago. They Might Be Giants headlined.

Sue, they have played Tulipfest before, but not as headliners. I'm pretty sure they supported They Might Be Giants a few years ago.
I'm glad they're back - they seemed like a perfect band for the event. They are really fun on stage and I remember them playing a mix of covers and their own stuff.

When they played the Tulip Fest before, didn't they do some filming for a video then? They ended the set, if I recall, with a repeat number, explained they'd be filming, and jumped in to some wonderfully geeky choreography. I never saw the results and I can't remember which song it was, b/c that was the first time I'd heard them.
I'm psyched they're coming back.
