Pitchfork: White Stripes, Pixies Head Street Scene Fest

White Stripes, Pixies Head Street Scene Fest

Not even a month post-Coachella and yet another California festival has been announced-- and this one's not even in the desert! Street Scene, now in its 22nd year, has confirmed a number of artists for its two-day extravaganza, including but not limited to: Pixies, the White Sripes, the Flaming Lips, the Killers, and Snoop Dogg.

The event is scheduled to take place July 29 and 30 at a venue new to the Scene, a 2.5 million square foot area outside of Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego. Festival organizers hope that the increased amount of space will make Street Scene more comfortable than it has been in previous years.

In addition to the wide variety of music, attendees have access to a huge carnival (literally-- the Ferris Wheel is 80 ft. tall), the "Taste of San Diego", and some arts and crafts booths put together by vendors from across Southern California.

Those who were unable to score tickets from the festival's online pre-sale will be able to purchase them for $65 beginning on May 26 via Street Scene's official website.

The lineup:

The Killers, Pixies, the White Stripes, Social Distortion, Snoop Dogg, 311, Black Eyed Peas, Garbage, the Used, the Flaming Lips, Method Man, Unwritten Law, Flogging Molly, Dashboard Confessional, Death Cab for Cutie, Kasabian, Hot Hot Heat, Rise Against, Louis XIV, the Adolescents, the (International) Noise Conspiracy, Autolux, Von Bondies, Swollen Members, Morningwood, the Locust, West Indian Girl, and more to come!
