Held annually in California, the music concert is put on by LA’s popular rock radio station, KROQ-FM. Most years it took place at Irvine Meadows/Verizon Wireless Amphitheater. This year it will be taking place at a new location, Doheny State Beach in Orange County.
Past famous performers include Lana Del Rey, Imagine Dragons, Incubus, Lorde, Paramore, Cage The Elephant, and The Revivalists. Dating back to 1993, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, White Zombie, Blink-182, No Doubt, have put on shows throughout the event’s twenty six year run. Attendees can listen to anything from reggae and hip hop, to heavy metal and punk rock music at the concert.
Presale tickets will be available on Thursday, May 2nd; general public tickets can be purchased Friday, May 3rd, directly on the KROQ Weenie Roast website. Proceeds benefit Doheny State Beach Interpretive Association, Heal the Bay and the Surfrider Foundation. The charities are geared toward helping in the protection of marine refuge, the park’s beaches, coastal cleanup, and watersheds.
