Nerdapalooza 2010

What a week!! It has been hectic over at the Nerdapalooza camp, getting everything together, but we now have a lot to announce this week!! So without further ado, let’s go!!

First thing to announce is that the Orlando Weekly Best of Orlando 2010 Voting is open, and this year, Nerdapalooza is doing an extra push to win Best Festival! Even if you don’t live in Orlando or if Orlando is now a destination for you BECAUSE OF Nerdapalooza, it is definitely a great way to support the show! Visit this page for the full low-down on voting.

Next up, we are announcing two new sponsors: A Comic Shop and Mammoth Sound! A Comic Shop is coming back as an amazing sponsor, as you can guess by the amazing pre-parties they always throw. This year is going to be bigger and badder, as you can tell from the line-up (which we’re about to finish up). We also have Mammoth Sound stepping up to provide some fire power to back-up EMPulse. We’re still lining up sponsors, so if you’d like to take advantage of the advertising opportunities available at Nerdapalooza then check out our Sponsorship Package today.

Finally, let’s announce some awesome artists!! First up (as promised) we have the two artists that’ll be joining The Megas, MC COOL WHIP, and Insane Ian at the Pre-Party! Returning from 2008, we’ll have Whoremoans tearing it up as well as KABUTO THE PYTHON getting his first solo set at Nerdapalooza. Sounds like KABUTO may be inviting a few friends on stage with him, so the Pre-Party is going to be pretty awesome! Returning to the main stage from last year is My Parents Favorite Music, also returning from a short break from the music scene. We also have some bad news, as Diabeets of Scrub Club will actually not be able to make it out. In her place will be Mad Hatter returning to rock the Scrub Club set. Also from Scrub Club is going to be Dr. Awkward with his first solo set. A new sub-headliner this year will be the Super 8-Bit Bros, joining the Protomen on their tour through Orlando just in time for Nerdapalooza. And FINALLY, our announcement this year will be a brand NEW category of artist!! Since Orlando is such an amazing nerdy center for music, we are now showcasing Local Headliners!! This year we are showcasing Yip-Yip, the crazy and local electronic duo that redefine what music can be.

Boosh! Crazy end for a crazy week! We still have a few names to announce, and we’ll have a schedule soon to reveal as well. Don’t forget to go purchase tickets for this year’s event and don’t forget to vote for us for Best Festival!

Much nerdy love
