In a day when surprise album and television show drops have become the norm, I guess we shouldn't be too surprised that approach spreads to music and food street festivals.

In an unusual partnership between the usually more staid Star Events and the rowdy folks behind Riot Fest, the Würst Music & Beer Fest was sprung on us only a week ago, and takes place only a few weeks from now. Not much lead time, huh? But with three-day passes for a pretty impressive line-up of "beer, bratwurst and bands galore" at only $25, this is a surprise we're OK with.

Organizers finally announced the daily schedules this morning, so you can start mapping out when you want to attend and how long you're going to stay each day. Though with all the bases of food and music covered—including ticket packages that include different pairings of delectable treats—we're not sure why you'd want to leave.
