Pennywise was the first band I ever approached about this festival, and they’ve been such amazing supporters and friends…I am so stoked to have them back! Descendents…I mean, does it get any better? This lineup is insane, TOP-TO-BOTTOM on both days. I can’t wait to drop the rest of it in the coming weeks.”
