Blink 182 tops the bill of fourth Rolling Rock Town Fair
The fourth edition of Pennsylvania's Rolling Rock Town Fair will sport a bill that includes Blink 182 , Puddle of Mudd , Def Leppard , Sum 41 , Trapt and other acts to be announced.
For the first time, the event will take place outside of beer-maker Rolling Rock's home base of Latrobe, Pa., and will instead be housed at Pittsburgh's Heinz Field, home of the NFL's Pittsburgh Steelers.
Rolling Rock said in a statement in December that the Pittsburgh stadium is better suited to the event--which is expected to attract more than 40,000 fans--than the Westmoreland County Fairgrounds, its previous home. Organizers say that the event "will still retain its countryside charm" in its new locale.
Besides music, the June 26 event will feature "a cornucopia of carnival attractions," according to a statement. Food booths, shopping areas and a beer garden are also planned. Tickets will go on sale in May, organizers said.
The first Rolling Rock Town Fair took place in 2000. Acts who have appeared at the event in the past include OutKast, Nickelback, Godsmack, P.O.D., Tommy Lee, Moby, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Stone Temple Pilots and Staind.
