The season for outdoor music festivals is almost over, but the X96 Big Ass Show is ending summer with a bang. The all-day event is an opportunity for fans of popular music to catch seven high-profile bands, all for one wallet-friendly price. Befitting the Big Ass Show's 10th anniversary, the impressive, pop-heavy lineup is made up of big mostly national and international names. Dance-friendly acts on the bill include Provo pop-rock foursome Neon Trees; Los Angeles earworm creators Capital Cities; New York electro-rock duo Phantogram; New Zealand brother/sister indie-pop duo Broods; and Portland, Ore., indie-pop/electro twosome Priory. Striking a balance amid all that pop will be Florida hardcore band A Day to Remember and California alt-rock band The Eeries. (Kolbie Stonehocker)
