(Chattanooga), Dirty Works (Knoxville), The Mackeys (Chattanooga), The Commonwealth of American Natives (Nashville), Nosecone Prophets (Summerville, Ga.), Hill Street Hooligans (Chattanooga) and The Pox (Rome, Ga.).
Doors will open at 5:30 p.m., and the first band is scheduled to play at 6 p.m.
Admission is free. Donations collected will go to the United Way to aid with recovery.
