KROQ Weenie Roast 2013 Gallery: Vampire Weekend

May 19, 2013

Los Angeles rock station KROQ threw a hell of a party this year at their annual KROQ Weenie Roast festival at the Verizon Ampitheater in Irvina, CA. Stone Temple Pilots surprised us all with an unannounced set to debut their new singer, Chester Bennington of Linkin Park. Additionally, strong sets from radio darlings Of Monsters and Men, AWOLNATION, Vampire Weekend, The Black Keys and more made for a fantastic day in the SoCal sunshine.

Check out CraveOnline’s photo gallery of Vampire Weekend’s performance from Saturday!
