TICKETS FROM $59.50
Just as the 1990s dissolved into the 21st century, Lit charged up rock ‘n’ roll with uncompromising punk energy and a power pop punch. Comprised of, Ajay Popoff on lead vocals, Jeremy Popoff on lead guitar and vocals, Kevin Baldes on bass and Taylor Carroll on drums, the Orange County-born band is considered one of the preeminent bands to have come out of the post-grunge era. Lit defined an entire generation of southern California power punk with hard-charging hits like “Miserable,” “Zip-Lock,” and “Lipstick & Bruises.” Twenty years after its initial release, the Billboard Music Award-winning “My Own Worst Enemy” not only went double-platinum, but was covered by Post Malone, Kelly Clarkson and Jimmy Fallon on his late-night show. Consequence of Sound named Lit as one of the “100 Best Pop Punk Bands” and their music has been featured in hit TV shows and movies such as American Reunion, Central Intelligence, Parks and Recreation, and beyond. The band has released six worldwide studio albums, including their RIAA Certified Platinum “A Place in the Sun,” and are currently writing and recording to release new material.
Fuel is known for hit songs “Shimmer,” “Hemorrhage (In My Hands),” “Bad Day,” “Falls on Me” and many others. The band also had several videos in heavy rotation on MTV, performed live on major TV networks in the US, Canada and Australia, and contributed songs to popular film soundtracks such as Scream 3, Daredevil, A Walk to Remember and Godzilla. The album “Sunburn” is certified platinum by the RIAA, while the album “Something Like Human” is certified double-platinum. "Hemorrhage (In My Hands)" held the No. 1 spot on Billboard’s Rock charts for over three months and in 2013 became the No. 6 Alternative Rock song of the past 25 years according to Billboard's Alternative Chart 25th Anniversary Top 100 Songs. After rebuilding their brotherhood, founder, guitarist and songwriter Carl Bell and longtime drummer Kevin Miller didn’t just celebrate their history together—they embraced the future. They were soon joined by new blood: Aaron Scott on lead vocals and guitar, Mark Klotz on guitar and vocals and Tommy Nat on bass and vocals. Together they are currently working on a new album.
