Q101, Chicago's Alternative rock radio station, went back to its roots this week and announced the return of their highly successful "Jamboree" summer music festival. Since 2003, the Q101 summer fest was called Bloc Party and brought in various bands such as 30 Seconds To Mars, The Bravery, Local H, The Flaming Lips, and most recently, 311.In the past, Q101's Jamboree brought in some of the biggest names in alternative rock; Foo Fighters, Red Hot Chili Peppers, No Doubt, Social Distortion, The Offspring, Silverchair, and Blink 182 to name just a few.
Admittedly, this years lineup isn't nearly as good as it could have been, though it still will make for a very enjoyable day of music. The announced bands for the fest so far are: 3 Days Grace, Seether, Hollywood Undead, Papa Roach, Puddle Of Mudd, Saliva, Janus, Story Of The Year, Flobots, Crash Kings, and AM Taxi.
This years festival will take place on Saturday June 5th at the First Midwest Bank Amphitheatre in Tinley Park. Presale tickets are on-sale now at Q101.com.
