AIDEN WINS "BOOK THE BAND"

The up-and-coming goth punk rock group AIDEN has won the "Book the Band" Virgin Festival by Virgin Mobile contest after over one million votes were cast.

Taking place over two days (August 4 & 5) at Baltimore's historic Pimlico Race Course, Virgin Festival By Virgin Mobile features a roster of over 40 bands and deejays across two stages and a dance tent, as well as countless other entertainment and attractions. AIDEN will kick off its set at 12 noon on Sunday, August 5, as that day's opener.

"To say we're excited to play Virgin Festival By Virgin Mobile is an understatement, given the caliber of such acts as The Police, Smashing Pumpkins and Wu-Tang Clan who are performing," says "wiL" of AIDEN. "This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to bring our music to a huge number of people at a terrific new venue, and proceed to kick some ass."
