For those disappointed that The Knack have bowed out of Charlotte Pop Fest (due to lead singer Doug Feiger’s battle with cancer), you’ll be excited to hear that legendary rock band The Smithereens have been confirmed as the headline act on Saturday, September 26. Proceeds from Charlotte Pop Fest (the power pop music festival set for September 24-26 in Charlotte, NC) will benefit the Richard Dawkins Foundation.
Other acts set to perform include The Posies, Roger Joseph Manning Jr., The Spongetones, Pat DiNizio, Jill Sobule, Glen Burtnik, Mike Viola, Bleu, Myracle Brah, The Shazam, Gladhands, The Singles, The Jellybricks, Starbelly, Cliff Hillis, and Linus of Hollywood.
Three-day tickets are on sale for $50 until 9/1. After 9/1, two-day tickets (for 9/24 and 9/25) will be $25 and one-day tix for 9/26 will be $35.
