For those that remember the first X-Fest back in 1997, I think I can say that one band in particular owned the stage that day.  They had just recently released their first album, and even though we'd been banging their song 'Black' on the radio, they were relatively unknown.  But when Sevendust hit that stage, everyone there knew they were witnessing something very special.

Fifteen years later, touring in support of their ninth (and arguably, their finest) album 'Black Out the Sun', 99X is proud to welcome Sevendust back to Shreveport to headline the first ever Festapalooza!

Going down Saturday, September 14th at Festival Plaza, we’ve already announced that Digital Summer, SOiL, Texas Hippie CoalitionPop Evil and  Filter have signed on to play. Now, with the addition of Sevendust, Festapalooza is lining up to be the most face-melting show Shreveport has ever seen! For all the details, check out our Festapalooza page.
