This year’s UFest boasts a packed lineup featuring multiple subgenres of metal and hard rock, including punk rocker The Offspring, alt-metal band Chevelle, metalcore fiends Motionless in White, djent/groove metal act Bad Wolves and nu-metal favorites P.O.D. Tempe’s Bury the Darkness will also perform.
“It’s one of the station’s biggest concerts of the year,” says KUPD marketing and promotions director Ben Hartman. “We're hoping to appease as much of our audience as we can with all of the different genres of bands within active rock.”
