Weezer, others added to final Weenie Roast lineup

Weezer, Foster the People, the Pretty Reckless (featuring actress Taylor Momsen), Iamdynamite, Bear Hands, and Big Data and DJ Skratch n' Sniff fill out the 2014 WEND End of Summer Weenie Roast lineup. The radio station previously announced Fitz and the Tantrums, Foxy Shazam, J. Roddy Walston & the Business, Fuel, Wild Cub, Sir Sly, and locals Flagship. Aside from the addition of alt-rock legends Weezer and `90s rock hold out Fuel, the lineup is stacked with current hit makers like Foster and Fitz and hot up-and-comers.

Weenie Roast '14 takes place Saturday, September 6 at PNC Music Pavilion.

Weezer and Foster the People recently played sold out shows at The Fillmore. Fitz sold out Amos' in November. While those may be the big draws, I suggest getting there early. Bands like Iamdynamite, Foxy Shazam, and J. Roddy Walston are live powerhouses who deserve larger crowds and many of the others are creating big buzz.

Presale tickets are currently available via www.livenation.com. Lawn seats are $10.65 during presale.
