The stacked lineup also includes Taking Back Sunday, Dashboard Confessional, We the Kings, Alkaline Trio, Manchester Orchestra, Dance Gavin Dance, the All-American Rejects, Anberlin, 3OH!3, Atreyu, the Ready Set, Jimmy Eat World, La Dispute, the Wonder Years, Hawthorne Heights, Car Seat Headrest and Wolf Alice.

The first date sold out immediately on Friday, prompting Live Nation to add a second date on Oct. 23, stating on social media, “Due to overwhelming demand, we have decided to add a second day. Same lineup each day.”

The festival will feature the same lineup on all three dates, with the exception of Alex G replacing Wolf Alice on Oct. 29 and La Dispute will not perform on the newly added date (Oct. 29).

There will be a presale beginning Jan. 31 at 10 a.m. PT for fans who sign up for early access to passes here.
