20 More '90s Bands You Can See Live This Summer


Hey, do you remember the 1990s? That Roger Klotz, what a…um…klotz. Anyway, I hope you do because all of your favorite musical acts from the Tamagotchi Decade will be on tour this summer! (Quickly Read Disclaimer: Actsmaynotactuallybeyourfavorite.) We’ve already covered Summerland 2012, featuring the era-defining talents of Everclear, Gin Blossoms, Lit, Marcy Playground, and Sugar Ray, as well as Blues Traveler’s tour with Barenaked Ladies and Cracker. But what about: Spin Doctors? Eve 6? Fastball? RIGHT SAID FRED???

Well, they’re all still around, and will be on the road in the upcoming months, playing their great hit for you. And if you’re wondering whether I’m being sarcastic, I don’t even know anymore, man. Cowabunga!
