Weenie Roast lineup touts Weezer, Rancid
Maybe they’ll call it the Weezer Roast? Or just a Rancid Picnic?
Weezer, Kings of Leon, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Jimmy Eat World, Rancid and Silversun Pickups are among the headliners for the KROQ-FM (106.7) Weenie Roast Y Fiesta at Verizon Wireless Amphitheater on May 16.
Tickets go on sale at 5 p.m. Thursday.
The other announced acts on the bill include Cage the Elephant, Asher Roth, Anberlin, Hollywood Undead, White Lies, the Airborne Toxic Event and Big B.
The Weenie Roast began in 1993 with a show featuring Stone Temple Pilots, Dramarama, X, The The and Terence Trent D’Arby, believe it or not. Last year, Metallica, the Racontuers and the Offspring led the bill, once again reinforcing the show’s Mad Libs approach to live-music booking.
The concert is a fundraiser for a number of charities, including Heal the Bay, the Surfrider Foundation and the AIDS Services Foundation Orange County.
