The lineup also includes Gogol Bordello, Thrice, Circa Survive, The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Best Coast, The Lawrence Arms, Les Savy Fav, Beach Bunny, Big Freedia, PUP, Andrew W.K., GWAR, Living Colour, Saves the Day, Thursday, Alex G, Anti-Flag, Fishbone, Fucked Up, HEALTH, White Lung, Ratboys, Beach Goons, Holy Fawn, Ganser, and more. See it in full below.
