Nickelback, P.O.D., OutKast, Default Set For Rolling Rock Fair

(7/27/02, 7 a.m. ET) -- Nickelback, P.O.D., OutKast, and Godsmack are among the acts set for the Rolling Rock Town Fair 3.3, on tap for Saturday (July 27) in Latrobe, Pennsylvania. The festival also features Default, Sevendust, Tommy Lee, and Injected, with music beginning at 10:30 a.m. ET and continuing for nine-and-a-half hours.

For up-and-comers Default, playing at such a massive outdoor event is still a fairly new experience. Vocalist Dallas Smith tells LAUNCH that the group is learning how to approach shows beyond the concert-hall environment. "It's obviously different playing on a stage where it's dark and it's, like, a controlled lighting environment as opposed to playing in the daylight. We haven't done a whole lot of playing in the daylight, so it'll be an adjustment and we'll have to do some different things, you know what I mean? It's just gonna have to be a little more of us instead of the whole show. We've played a couple (daytime) shows, and they've gone over really well, and we're comfortable with it but it is a little different."

Alien Ant Farm was also originally a part of the lineup, but was forced to cancel after a tour bus accident in Spain in May halted the band's promotional activities until further notice.
