The New American Music Union


Clothier American Eagle Outfitters is hosting it’s first this summer featuring an eclectic mix of big artists on the main stage as well as 15 of the country’s best college bands on the side stage. The two-day festival is happening in Pittsburgh, Pa. at the historic SouthSide Works on August 8th and 9th. The SouthSide Works location was chosen because it is the home to the American Eagle Outfitters headquarters.

The New American Music Union will be hosted by Anthony Kiedis of the Red Hot Chili Peppers and the line up includes Bob Dylan and His Band, The Raconteurs, Gnarls Barkley, The Roots, Spoon, The Black Keys and more. The college band performances will be judged by music industry influencers, journalists and fellow musicians. The winning college band will receive a full-day recording session in a top Los Angeles studio valued at $10,000. American Eagle will support the winning college band by promoting its recording on www.ae.com and in AE stores across the country.

Tickets are on sale now (students: $25.00, regular: $49.50) and you can find all the details at http://www.ae.com/musicfestival. Please note that the New American Music Union is a rain or shine event and, as with all things, the line up is subject to change.
