Throughout the festival weekend you can head to the 300 capacity Cobra Lounge to see influential bands like GBH, Buzzcocks and Hot Water Music. New Found Glory, Bayside and Gogol Bordello will be rocking out in Concord Music Hall every night while Cap’n Jazz, Dinosaur Jr. and  Built to Spill will show the indie rock lover’s their paradize at Bottom Lounge.
