For the original rock festival held in England, see
V Festival .
The Virgin Fest , known as the Virgin Mobile FreeFestrock festival held in the United States and Canada,[1] V Festival held in the UK. In North America the Virgin name, and more recently the Virgin Mobile USA brand, were used in full to increase brand association, compared with the UK and Australian festivals , where association is simply implied through the use of the letter V.
Like the other variants of the V Festival, the events were sponsored by Virgin Mobile, in this case, either the U.S. or Canadian versions.
On June 30, 2006, Virgin Group chief Richard Branson announced the inaugural shows. The first, which took place in 2006 on September 9 and 10 at Toronto Islands Park in Toronto , Ontario, Canada, featured over 40 artists. A single-day show also took place in Baltimore , Maryland, in the United States, on September 23, 2006, at the Pimlico Race Course with the Red Hot Chili Peppers and The Who .[2]
Virgin Festival 2007 took place in Vancouver on May 20 and 21, as well as a return to Pimlico Race Track[3] Calgary , Alberta, on June 21 and 22, 2008. The festival also returned to Baltimore on August 9 and 10, 2008.
The shows in Baltimore were put on by Seth Hurwitz's I.M.P. Productions, owner and operator of the 9:30 Club in Washington, D.C. , and the former producer of the HFStival .[citation needed
In 2007, Richard Branson was encouraged by Daryl Hannah to green the Baltimore festival by bringing in zero waste event producers The Spitfire Agency.[citation needed
The 2009 Virgin Mobile Festival, dubbed the Virgin Mobile FreeFest, was held on August 30, 2009 at the Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Maryland . The festival returned to Merriweather on Saturday, September 25, 2010,[4] [5] Deadmau5 (house), Cee Lo Green (hip-hop/pop), and the Black Keys (indie).

Virgin Mobile FreeFest (August 30th) [ edit ]
The Virgin Mobile FreeFest was held at the Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Maryland . In an official statement released by Virgin Mobile, it was stated that due to the current economic conditions, admission to the festival would be free of charge for all concertgoers. The sponsor hoped that concertgoers would donate $5 to youth homelessness through its charitable initiative known as the RE*Generation. Concertgoers could also purchase special packages that came with a T-shirt, as well as tickets and the donation.[10] [11]
