Grab your favorite dadhat, a case of bud light, NO FEAR shirt, pair of faded dadjeans & throw some burgers on the grill. It’s time for THE DADROCK FESTIVAL OF THE CENTURY!
Boasting a combined total of over 14 million albums sold, multiple platinum and gold albums, and #1 singles, the Ultimate DadRock Festival has finally been announced – though astute Interweb users will likely know there’s been a flyer floating around for a week. The lineup, which includes bands every dad has listened to on their FM dial like Trapt, Saliva, Saving Abel, Crazy Town, Alien Ant Farm, 12 Stones, and Tantric, is coming to a number of unconventional venues. Courtyards, casinos, even your family backyard BBQ! Most of the bands are supporting new singles and even new albums, and you can bet they’ll all be playing those hits that you’ll hear at the local DMV every day.
