BronyCon Rears its Hooves to Rock Baltimore with BronyPalooza: Adds More Musicians
BronyCon 2013 is looking to rock hard and drop the bass during its Aug. 2-4 event in Baltimore, filling the halls of the Baltimore Convention Center with even more musicians for BronyPalooza.
Keeping to the promise of being the largest brony concert in the world, BronyCon has turned the heat for BronyPalooza by expanding its previously announced lineup. The new lineup adds to the mix the musical talents of DannyBrony, DerpyGrooves, Alex S, OmniPony, BronyMike, Odyssey Eurobeat, F3nning, SMOR3S and Red Woolen Colts—a band featuring HardCopy, Tarby, DerpyGrooves, HeyLasFas, Cyril, Equestrian Strumpet and NewWorldMare.
Come help BronyPalooza’s musical guests turn Baltimore into Baltimare by registering for BronyCon 2013. Your BronyCon admission will be required to attend BronyPalooza.
If that still is not enough to satisfy your groove, more musicians will be announced at a later date. The full musical lineup can be viewed online at BronyPalooza’s Web page, which also features information about each musical guest and samples of their music.
With all the rocking you will be doing at BronyPalooza, do not forget to stay well rested.
