Kiss 108 has announced the preliminary line up for its annual Kiss Concert.

Wyclef Jean, Natasha Bedingfield, Sean Kingston, and Sara Bareilles -(all pictured above)- will join Flo Rida, Boys Like Girls, Baby Bash, and others on May 18 at the Tweeter Center. The station expects to announce more artists as the date approaches.

With all of the Kiss-friendly divas- Janet, Mariah, Madonna- putting out new albums this spring it will be interesting to see if the station will be able to snag one to headline their fiesta.

Tickets, priced $35-$200, go on sale this Saturday at 10 am and for the first time will be available exclusively through the station website

Last monthWBOS re-shuffled or let go most of its on-air staff, changed its name to Radio 92.9, and apparently shifted to an all-Bush format- seriously, Sound Effects swears we hear "Machine Head" or "Glycerine" every time we tune in these days. But that doesn't mean that Greater Media is abandoning the signal's green legacy. On May 24 the 15th annual EarthFest returns to the Hatch Shell. No word yet on what artists will be participating. (Come to think of it, Bush has an inherently eco-friendly name, no?)
