99X’s FREE summer concert series in Atlanta. Every Saturday July 9 to August 13, 2005, from 6 to 11 p.m. 

Atlanta, Georgia (June 28, 2005) – 99X Everything Alternative has assembled a stellar lineup for its free summer concert series in Downtown Atlanta. Weezer, Cake, The Bravery, Chevelle, Ben Folds, Garbage, The Dead 60’s, Stereophonics and Caesars are among the artists that will perform for six Saturday nights, July 9 through August 13 at Underground Atlanta.

   The station that has provided over 1 million music fans with free live entertainment since 2001 will continue its mission this summer with 99X Downtown Rocks at Underground Atlanta. Each Saturday night concert will kick off with one of 99X’s favorite local artists like Second Shift whose call and response rock is set to change peoples’ perceptions of the kind of music coming out of Atlanta. After getting the crowd warmed up, music fans will enjoy dynamic sets from some of the biggest names heard on 99X today. Highlights include visits from UK alternative rock stars Stereophonics and The Bravery, a NYC band known for their deep seeded allegiance to the punk movement. In addition to the up-and-coming stars is a strong veteran line up featuring Sacramento bred Cake and the deadpan stylings of vocalist John McCrea- now 5 albums strong. Critically acclaimed geek rock gods Weezer and supercharged sexy pop rockers Garbage will also be performing.
