Tops at KROQ’s big concert

The Inland Invasion of old has moved on to a new battleground, and the high-concept mix of old and new acts has been de-emphasized. But under any name -- try L.A. Invasion -- KROQ-FM’s big summer concert is a must for the station’s rock fans, with the main attraction being the Los Angeles debut of the reconstituted Smashing Pumpkins. The return of the Foo Fighters is also a highly anticipated event, and there’s plenty more, including Velvet Revolver, Kid Rock, Chris Cornell, Cypress Hill, Perry Farrell’s Satellite Party, Hot Hot Heat, Against Me! and Paramore.

KROQ’s L.A. Invasion, Home Depot Center, 18400 Avalon Blvd., Carson. 2 p.m. Saturday. $35 to $85. (310) 630-2020.
