We Now Know Who the Lakes Jam Rock Headliner Is

We've been patiently waiting for the announcement by Lakes Jam naming this year's Rock Night (Thursday, June 27th) headliner - as well as the rest of the Rock Night lineup -  and now we know.

The rock headliner for Lakes Jam this June is 90s alt rock legends, Live.

The rest of the lineup for Rock Night features Smash Mouth ("Walking on the Sun", "All Star", you definitely remember their cover of "I'm a Believer" by The Monkees), Pop Evil, Saliva, and Minneapolis rockers Fuzzrd.

Live is best known for their international smash hit, "Lightning Crashes", which stayed on top of the Billboard Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart for ten straight weeks.

Their breakthrough album, 1993's Throwing Copper, also featured the hit singles "I Alone", "All Over You", and another #1 US Modern Rock Hit: "Selling the Drama". The album itself hit #1 on the Billboard 200 album chart on May 6th, 1995, after a full year rising on the charts.

The band's follow-up, 1997's Secret Samadhi, debuted at #1 and charted four singles, led by "Lakini's Juice".
