“After 23 years, our Irvine Meadows tradition comes to an end,” the station’s Kevin Weatherly said in a statement. “In true KROQ fashion, we’ve created what promises to be an unforgettable experience for our listeners.”

Tickets for Weenie Roast, which will direct the proceeds to Heal the Bay and the Surfrider Foundation, are set to go on sale Friday to members of KROQ’s street team.
