Treasure Island Music Festival:  The 10^th Annual Treasure Island Music Festival will be held this weekend, October 15 & 16. The show will feature a music line-up that includes rap superstar Ice Cube and Sigur Rós, headlining on Saturday and Sunday, respectively.  Because of the City’s future plans to redevelop Treasure Island, this will be the last music festival on the island.  Due to construction on the island, concert organizers have provided festival-goers with public transportation options.
