Inaugural event takes place in Aug

Southern California multi-platinum selling Sugar Ray has been announced as the special guest headliner at the inaugural Flannel Nation Festival, taking place on the waterfront at the Port of Los Angeles in San Pedro, CA on Saturday, August 13th. The group joins previously announced Everclear, Soul Asylum, Candlebox, Filter, Cracker, Fastball and Sponge for the event.

Also announced is the addition of San Clemente, CA’s StarZero, who are unabashed ‘90s grunge/alt-rock flagbearers creating original music that’s firmly for the here and now. Centered upon the soaring, Chris Cornell-esque vocals of Josh Paskowitz, former co-frontman of 90’s rockers The Flys alongside his brother Adam, they channel the hefty yet melodic and uplifting aura of Alice In Chains, Soundgarden, and Stone Temple Pilots with utter authenticity and zero compromise.

Joining StarZero in a supporting slot is South Bay rock outfit X Wire. More bands are expected to be added.

Tickets can be purchased via Ticket Web. The event runs from 11 am until 11 pm with kids six and under free.

The event will feature some of the era’s top bands, tons of delicious food trucks, craft beer, full bar, and lots of retail vendors for shopping.
