After waiting patiently for months on end, the time has finally come for 99X’s annual LiveX concert, taking place in the City of Palms Park this weekend. Rock fans were already psyched about the upcoming gig, knowing Staind, Chevelle and Madina Lake were going to perform. But since three more huge hits have been added, the wait has been horrendous.

Now for just $35, rock fans can jam out live with seven count them SEVEN slammin’ rock groups: Staind, Chevelle, Madina Lake, Cavo and the recently added Cinder, Nonpoint and Ekotren.
