It's the most KROQ-y time of the year, and this morning on Kevin and Bean the line up for the 21st Annual KROQ Almost Acoustic Chrismas was announced. The two-day, holiday-themed, rock and rollathon will take place December 11-12 at the Gibson Amphitheatre with long-time-listeners and first-time-callers taking the stage.
Smashing Pumpkins, Social Distortion, My Chemical Romance, Cake and Bad Religion set the tone for Night One; Night Two sings to a slightly different crowd with The Black Keys, Phoenix, Vampire Weekend, Florence and the Machine and Brandon Flowers.
