Tickets are on now on sale for the 12th annual Summer Meltdown Austism Awareness Art & Music Festival.

On Saturday, April 25, nearly 40 bands will rock three stages at the Santa Clarita Skate Park on Centre Pointe Parkway just off of Golden Valley. Headliners include Pepper, The Expendibles, and Nahko of Medicine for the People, performing solo.

The lineup also features favorites including PapaFish, Daniel Marley, Iya Terra, Dankrupt, Through the Roots and a couple of dozen others. Tickets for the all-ages music and art show are just $25.

Proceeds go to the nonprofit Yes I Can program for students with and without disabilities at SCV middle and high schools. Yes I Can students stage this festival each year and learn real-life skills in the process. For 11 years, every Meltdown has been better hotter than the last. Visit SummerMeltdownSCV.com for more details and tickets.

And speaking of Summer Meltdown and PapaFish, don’t miss the band on SCVTV’s “House Blend” hosted by yours truly this Saturday night at 10. It’s a special encore broadcast of a show “House Blend” fans say is one of our best. You’ll find SCVTV on Time Warner Channel 20, ATT U-verse 99 and SCVTV.com.
