The following description was submitted by the event organizer.

Few bands enter their fifth decade of making music with all the fierce creative energy of their early years. Even fewer bands are like The Church. Experiencing a renaissance of sorts with their worldwide critically hailed 26th album, The Hypnogogue, and a world tour that took them through North America, the UK, Europe and Australia, The Church was met with fervent audiences who embraced not only their early catalog but also their new material. UNCUT encapsulated this idea when they wrote in their 8 out of 10 review that "The Hypnogogue is like every other Church album, and nothing quite like any of them; both statements are intended as compliments."

How Do You Burn? From their inception in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1986, The Afghan Whigs have never played by the rules of convention. Against the plaid-and-grunge-shaded backdrop of the early-to-mid-‘90s, the Whigs stood apart from their contemporaries by virtue of attiring in suits and being way more likely to slide up on a Marvin Gaye groove than rehash a Black Sabbath riff.
