The first-ever Kanrocksas Music Festival will kick off tonight at the Kansas Speedway in Kansas City, Kansas. The two-day event will be headlined by Eminem and Muse, and will feature performances by the Black Keys, the Flaming Lips, A Perfect Circle, Ween, Kid Cudi and Bassnectar. If you can't make it to the show, you're in luck: Rolling Stone will be broadcasting sets by acts including Primus, Best Coast and Cage the Elephant from the festival over the weekend.

The free live streaming will begin at 4:30 p.m. CT today and  2:50 p.m. CT Saturday. You can enjoy live music from the comfort of your home, but unfortunately you will not be able to stream the festival's fireworks displays, ferris wheel or water slide. Maybe next year.

“I'm Yours”

Jason Mraz | 2008

Jason Mraz re-emerged after his disappointing second album with this lead single, a Jack Johnson-esque ditty about giving yourself fully to someone else. The success of the reggae-tinged song (it earned two Grammy nods and a spot on the Billboard singles chart for well over a year) was something the folk-pop singer never predicted when he wrote it in 15 minutes at home. "I played a happy-hippie chord progression that would probably work without 50 different Bob Marley songs," he told Rolling Stone. "I thought, 'It's too novelty. This is a nursery rhyme,'" concluding that "you can never guess what's gonna be a hit."
