If you’re in the LA area tomorrow, you might want to stop by the Pomona Fairplex and catch a few up and coming bands. Who am I kidding? You might want to FLY to Los Angeles tonight to catch some of the biggest names in music: Alice In Chains, Linkin Park, and Tool are headlining, but Wolfmother, Atreyu, and BeatCrave Favs After Midnight Project and Paper Tongues are slated to play as well.

KROQ‘s Annual Inland Invasion has come back bigger and better, and with a new name: Epicenter. In the past, bands like Incubus, The Offspring, Social Distortion, Blink-182, Muse, The Walkmen and Kings of Leon have graced their stages. This year, Linkin Park‘s Chester Bennington will be debuting his new project, Dead By Sunrise, to Southern California, with members Ryan Shuck and Amir Dreakh (from Orgy/Julien-K), Brandon Belsky, Elias Anda (Also from Julien-K), and Anthony Valcic.

    Rock on. Hands down this was one of the best concerts I have ever attended. Very well organized. Every band was spectacular.

    We drove four hours to be apart of this event, especially since this was Linkin Parks only USA appearance this year.

    We were probably some of the youngest /oldest fans and I'm very proud of that.

    OMG!! Can't wait until next year. ROCK ON!! LOVE YOU GUYS.
