Like last year’s inaugural festival, this year’s City of Trees had major acts that attracted large crowds of fans. But the festival this year moved to Cal Expo from Gibson Ranch after complaints last year about traffic at that venue.

This year’s major acts were The Unlikely Candidates, Andrew McMahon In the Wilderness, Phantogram, Weezer and the festival closer Panic! At the Disco. Weezer played some of the oldies for us 90s kids to swoon over and Panic! At the Disco’s had the crowd singing along to a cover of Queen’s ‘Bohemian Rhapsody.’ What more could you ask for in a music fest?
