Midwestern music lovers will have a decision to make August 5: Kansas or Illinois? 
Most people know that Lollapalooza is happening August 5-7 in Chicago, Ill., but this year it will have a little competition. Those looking to travel a little less, deal with less extreme-sized crowds and perhaps save a bit on ticket costs might want to look to Kansas…
A new music festival has announced it is coming to Kansas City on August 5-6. The festival is KANROCKSAS and it promises to bring over 20 national acts to the Midwest.
The lineup and other details about the festival are expected to be announced April 25 and judging on its proximity to Lollapalooza, don’t be surprised if there is quite some overlap on the artists – this is good news for Kansas Citians. Hopefully, we’ll see some locals join those national acts in that announcement.
So far, Kanrocksas only has a sparse Facebook page and website here, but keep an eye out for more updates. Organizers and venue are also currently unknown.
We’ll update PopWreckoning as well, once more details are revealed.
