Temecula’s Finch has been announced as one of the artists performing at the Sunset Strip Music Festival in West Hollywood on Saturday, Aug. 3.
The band has been touring the U.S. celebrating the 10th anniversary of breakthrough album “What It Is to Burn,” which kicked off with a string of sold out shows at the Glass House in Pomona in February.
Linkin Park was previously announced as the headliner for the festival. Other artists announced on Wednesday, June 19 included Awolnation, Wale, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Logic, Slick Rick/Doug E. Fresh, Asher Roth and Street Drum Corps.
