Virgin Music Festival Free This Year

File this under "Things Not Likely To Happen Again."

The Virgin Mobile Festival has been moved from Pimlico Race Course to Merriweather Post Pavilion, and the price of a ticket has been drastically reduced from a lot to absolutely nothing. The Aug. 30 festival is free this year.

"In a time of economic challenges and daily sacrifices, we wanted to throw a fantastic party so people could let loose and have a great time - on us," said Richard Branson, founder of Virgin Group, said in a statement.

Well here's to you Richard. Tickets will be distributed beginning tomorrow through Ticketmaster. Virgin Mobile customers and people have have gone to previous Virgin festivals will get first crack at the free tickets, which will have no service fees either. A little icing on the cake: Parking will be free as well.

Headlining this year's lineup are Weezer, Blink-182 and Public Enemy. They'll certainly be worth the price of admission.
