Fresh off of their West Coast Opposite of Adults tour Chiddy Bang is taking cues from Wale’s motto #nodaysoff and hitting up the East Coast with The Swelly Life Tour.

2011 is their year. But check um out now!

On Saturday, September 25th, the Virgin Mobile FreeFest returns, this time with a lineup that crosses indie, hip-hop, and dance boundaries. The much controversial M.I.A., NYC alt-dance outfit LCD Soundsystem, and recently reunited indie legends Pavement will headline this year’s festivities.

Also on the 2010 bill are the recently freed T.I., Ludacris, Joan Jett, Thievery Corporation, Jimmy Eat World, Yeasayer, The Temper Trap, Matt & Kim, and Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeroes.

In addition to two main stages, this year’s festival will also feature a “dance forest,” which will feature the talents of Chromeo, Sleigh Bells, Die Antwoord, Modeselektor, and Neon Indian. What’s more, New Orleans based Trombone Shorty will lead a special second line march from stage to stage.

Free tickets to the free festival will be available starting Saturday, July 24th at 10 AM EST via Ticketfly.com. Virgin Mobile customers and previous Virgin Mobile Festival ticket holders from the past four years will be invited via text and email to a private “free-sale” (much like a pre-sale, except free) to be held Friday, July 23rd.

Ticketfly is waiving all service charges when fans pick up their FreeFest tickets at Merriweather or the 9:30 Club in Washington, D.C. or print the tickets at home. Customers also have the option to have their tickets delivered by mail for a nominal fee.

I really have no idea where Pembroke Pines is in Florida, but Rick Ross will be in the house at Best Buy for 3 HOURS (props for such a long meet and greet) to sign your album, take pictures and eat your children. He’ll be there from 5-8pm. For the big boys and girls, he’ll be celebrating his album release at King of Diamonds in Miami.

I just randomly came across this, but I wanted to post it up here because it looks like all you have to do to attend one of these shows is RSVP here. Tour stops & artists include: Miami (Trina), DC (Wale), Chicago (Twista & Clipse), LA (Three 6 Mafia), San Fran (To Be Announced), NYC (To Be Announced). The tour starts next Tuesday on the 27th in Miami and the events are 21+.

Like I said, it looks like all you have to do is hit the RSVP button for your respective tour stop and just fill in your info. Other than that, I’m not positive if there’s anything else you have to do. Seems easy enough though, right? Click below to check it out:

The industry will be out tonight for the official release party for Rick Ross. If you want, head over to Amnesia on the West Side to hit up the party. Should be pretty live. Details via Club Planet
