American Eagle Outfitters, Inc announced its plans for a two-day summer music festival in Pittsburgh, PA this August 8 and 9. The New American Music Union festival combines some of the most innovative and popular artists with 15 of the country's best college bands. The lineup includes Bob Dylan and His Band, The Raconteurs, Gnarls Barkley, The Roots, Spoon, The Black Keys, Black Mountain, The Duke Spirit, NASA and Tiny Masters of Today and more to come.

American Eagle Outfitters created this festival to give college bands a national platform and the opportunity to share the stage with the artists that most inspire them. Tickets go on sale Friday, May 16 at 10 a.m. Eastern time. Student tickets are an affordable . General admission tickets are .50.

The concert will be hosted by Red Hot Chili Peppers singer, Anthony Kiedis. "If you could go to any concert in the world, what would it be?" Anthony Kiedis asked himself when he set out to create the lineup for the New American Music Union festival. "My experience tells me that concerts can be life changing. That is how I approached putting this lineup together. The thrill of seeing Bob Dylan next to The Raconteurs next to Gnarls Barkley next to The Roots is reason for us all to celebrate. Music is still the most inspiring creative force that I know of and this seemed like a prime opportunity to let it shine. Add to this the fact of a generously low ticket price and that it all takes place in the streets of Pittsburgh and we have the most rocking block party of the summer."
