Ah, memories. I remember kicking back on the lawn in front of the Seattle Center's Mural Amphitheatre every late Friday afternoon for the free Pain in the Grass concert series. I think it was 1994 when Mudhoney rocked it hard. Good times, especially post-show gathering inside the Mecca Cafe.

Anyhoo, Pain in the Grass is now one giant show at White River Amphitheatre, and Godsmack, Rob Zombie and others will be rocking it Sept. 12. Let's read a press release. ...

Seattle, WA - 99.9 KISW -"The Rock of Seattle" - KISW once again will bring Seattle's biggest annual rock event, Pain in the Grass, to White River Amphitheatre. The summer concert festival tradition will be Friday, September 12th.  Tickets will go on sale Friday, June 6th at 10am exclusively through Live Nation.

This year's artists feature Pain in the Grass alumni Godsmack, along with Rob Zombie, Theory of a Deadman, and Buckcherry. Pop Evil, New Medicine, Redlight King, Escape the Fate, Sons of Revelry, and Amanda Hardy round out the line-up.

The roster of previous Pain in the Grass performers includes some of the best rock bands around, such as Alice In Chains, Avenged Sevenfold, Five Finger Death Punch, Slipknot and Volbeat.
