The second annual EPICENTER Twenty Ten music festival will be headlined by Kiss, Eminem, and Blink-182 on September 25th and 26th at the Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, California.

The festival will also mark Eminem’s first California concert since 2005; Blink-182’s only 2010 concert in North America; KISS’ only 2010 California appearance; Rise Against’s only concert in California this year; and the festival marks the first reunion show by Bush, who haven’t performed together since 2001.
