Bamboozle
The Bamboozle festival is the first big outdoor event of the year, and it takes place in early May. The annual weekend-long Bamboozle festival is celebrated to signify the start of New Jersey?s summer rock-concert season.

Every rain-or-shine, two-day music festival, new bands compete for spots during the two days.Since 2006, The summer festival has grounded itself outside Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.Each year, over one hundred music groups play for two days over the course of the first weekend in May.

The Bamboozle showcases dozens of the smallest, unsigned bands on nine stages, as well as amusement park rides, standup comedy and other attractions.

Beginning around noon and ending near midnight, the festival is normally held in a humid affair. The festival also features many different characters within the festival planning.Some of these characters are real people with false identities.

These people work to plan, organize and operate the festival, while others are completely fictional.The fictional characters serve as a means to give the public clues as to who may be playing at The Bamboozle.

There is a character called Linc who likes to leak information to the public about the Bamboozle. Linc loves the children?s show Bob the Builder, Mater from the pixar film Cars, and playing hide and seek; and talking in riddles and baby talk is his catch. The Bamboozle?s festival reporter is Scoop who shares the latest news about the festival in the Bamboozle chatroom.

Launched in Asbury Park in 2003, the Bamboozle festival has been at the Meadowlands since 2006. The festival main attraction is featuring rock bands, though rapper Snoop Dogg was a natural choice to close on this year.
