Two more exciting acts have been announced for the 2017 Journeys Alternative Press Music Awards, Fueled by Monster Energy, adding to an already diverse lineup.
Next-gen pop-punkers Waterparks will fill Cleveland, Ohio’s Quicken Loans Arena on July 17 with their upbeat and irresistible singalongs, while an epic group drum performance featuring Adrian Young (DREAMCAR, No Doubt) vs. Frank Zummo (Sum 41, Street Drum Corps) will transpire with a surprise special guest that you won’t want to miss!
Waterparks‘ energetic frontman Awsten Knight made his debut on the APMAs stage in 2016 performing “Lifestyles Of The Rich & Famous” with pop-punk legends Good Charlotte.
“I’m really stoked to do songs at the APMAs for all the pretty people,” Knight says of this year’s performance. “I’m gonna dress nice and everything, thank you.”
On performing at this year’s APMAs, Zummo shares, “I played my first ever show with Sum 41 on the APMAs stage two years ago. To be returning for this special drum moment with my all-time drum bro Adrian Young is going to be amazing! Adrian and I have been collaborating together for over 10 years, and we’re going all out for this performance. We also have a huge surprise special guest joining us that we couldn’t be more excited about!” Young adds, “Looking forward to playing drums with my friend Frank Zummo! It will be a privilege to do what we do best at the APMAs!”
The all-star night also will feature one time only performances by All Time Low, Against Me!, Andrew McMahon In The Wilderness, Bone Thugs, Korn, Machine Gun Kelly, New Years Day, ONE OK ROCK, Pierce The Veil, The Pretty Reckless and Sleeping With Sirens.
