Fun Fun Fun Fest Releases 2012 Lineup
Judging by the name this should be a good time. Fun Fun Fun Fest is set to return to Austin Texas from November 2-4th 2012. The lineup is pretty incredible seeing as how it is topped by a reunited Run-D.M.C. One must assume with the 10 year anniversary of the death of Jam Master Jay the ground-breaking rap group may be going the hologram route much like Dre and Snoop did with 2Pac at Coachella 2012.

Watch First Against Me! Performance Footage With Laura Jane Grace
It’s not the best quality, but the first footage of Against Me! singer Tom Gabel Laura Jane Grace has hit the web. In case you were unaware, the group's mastermind has been undergoing treatments to change him from a man to a woman. You can read more about that here.
The gig occurred this past Friday night down in San Diego where the band kicked off their tour as main support for The Cult. ... Read More

Bonnaroo Debuts Exciting New YouTube Channel
The fine folks behind the Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival have once again done something that is totally bad ass. They have launched a new YouTube channel called Bonnaroo 365. We will spare you the painfully unfunny ribbon cutting ceremony from Flight of the Concords star Rhys Darby. Instead we will just feature some great past performances from some of our favorite artists. But before we do, remember that the 2012 edition of Bonnaroo is about a ... Read More

The Cult Summer 2012 North American Tour
I went to a radio festival in San Jose (though most would say it was in San Francisco, technically it was in Mt. View) about a decade ago. I got to sit in a luxury box for most of the show. Highlights included drinking vodka cranberries, laughing at Blink 182’s Rainbow in the Dark amps and insulting the bass player from Fuel not knowing that he was the bass player for Fuel. Oh and then that ... Read More

Sasquatch! Festival – Friday 5/27/11 – The Gorge Amphitheatre
Review, pictures and video from thenaturalstoner and Phishbeard
Since we have 4 days worth of Sasquatch! content to post, I thought it would be best to put each days items up on ConcertConfessions.com individually. Friday was the opening night of the Festival, and it was a super rocking good time. There were less bands on Friday, and we were testing out our camera access limits, so the Friday content isn’t as voluminous as the rest ... Read More

2010 KROQ Weenie Roast
06/05/10 - Verizon Wireless Amp: Irvine, CA
Words/Photos/Videos by Reverend Justito/concertconfessions.com
No longer a Fiesta, the annual KROQ Weenie Roast returned to Irvine, California on the first Saturday in June 2010. The long lasting corporate rock radio festival is not only a celebration of Summer's arrival, but a chance for the stations simple-minded fan base to act like complete and total douche-bags. Despite this fan-base of brainless burnouts, KROQ always puts together a top-notch line up of artists young and old. ... Read More

Warped Tour 2008
Seaside Park - Ventura, CA 06/22/08
Words/Photos/Videos by Justin
(With Warped Tour kicking off this week, and things a tad slow here I figured we would look back at my experience on the long running festival last summer. Note, this first appeared on MTVnews.com)
A good rock festival is very similar to a good meal at a buffet. If planned correctly, you can get a nice sample of everything you love, try something new, and hopefully avoid items that you simply don't agree ... Read More
