Santa Barbara, California Music Festival Announces Artists on Their Bill

Southern California's Santa Barbara West Beach Music and Arts Festival released their full lineup for this year's festival.

The festival starts on September 18 and goes through the 20th, and will be located on the beachfront west of the Stearn's Wharf.

The event will feature many activities for all ages. According to their Web site, "Twiin Productions will transform the twelve acres where sand meets ocean . . . into a rock n' roll beachfront haven, complete with a massive main stage, over 75 arts, crafts and cuisine vendors, a 'sandbox' for the kids with performances by young up and coming artists, and at the center of the party, a bamboo-shaded 'Oasis' where special guest DJs will spin the warm breezy night away."

G. Love & Special Sauce, Steel Pulse, and Pepper will headline the concert, and many other bands will be performing. The rest of the lineup is Iration, Ozomatli, Soja, Shwayze, the Aggrolites, Still Time, Tomorrows Bad Seeds, Sashamon, Dirty Hears, the Kicks, the Sunshine Brothers, Pacific Dub, Through the Roots, and One Drop.

Tickets go on sale on May 23 at 10 a.m. More information on the three day festival can be found at their Web site: www.westbeachfestival.com.
