Mythological Locations A to Z: S is for Shangri-La

The Shangri-La Music Festival promises to be a big one this year. Kurt Cobain and Buddy Holly have been working together for months, and have mentioned they'll be debuting a new song in their first set. Jim Morrison will not be singing this year, but he will do a reading from his latest book of poetry.

Janis Joplin will open the show, and John Lennon will be doing a special acoustic set after midnight on Saturday. We can also look forward to another of Jimi Hendrix' "All-night free-form guitar jam sessions", and Stevie Ray Vaughn has promised he'll play all the way through.

Tickets are available at the kiosk in the hidden valley that leads to Shangri-La, $90 per day or $400 for the entire week. No credit cards accepted - cash only.

Special note: No mortals that have not achieved spiritual perfection will be allowed entrance to the Shangri-La Music Festival. Gatepersons will be checking and those attempting unauthorized entrance to Shangri-La will be dealt with.
