Who’s playing
This is a bill with range. Evanescence and The Offspring bring the arena-size rock and punk. Death Cab for Cutie and Modest Mouse cover the indie side, Slightly Stoopid handles the beach-reggae crowd, and Young the Giant lands somewhere in between.
Billy Corgan’s slot is billed as a special solo performance, separate from The Smashing Pumpkins. The Warning and Temper City are the newer names on the poster. Set times have not been released.
