KROQ Weenie Roast is a multi-artist music concert, presented annually in June by the Los Angeles, California, modern rock radio station KROQ-FM. Since its beginning in 1993, the event has been traditionally held on a Saturday in June, except from 2005 to 2009 and 2012 when it occurred in May.
Every year it has taken place at Irvine Meadows / Verizon Wireless Amphitheater, in Irvine, CA. The exception was 2000. That year it was held at Angel Stadium, in Anaheim, CA.
From 2006 to 2009, the event was re-branded as Weenie Roast y Fiesta with the distribution of complimentary sombreros for its festival attendees. In 2012 in conjunction with Cinco De Mayo it returned to the Weenie Roast y Fiesta name again.
Its East Coast "sister" concert, presented by KROQ-FM's Baltimore/Washington, DC affiliate station WHFS, is the HFStival. Its northern California "sister" concert, presented by KROQ-FM's Bay Area affiliate station KITS, is the BFD festival.

Famous quotes containing the word roast:
“I may be able to spot arrowheads on the desert but a refrigerator is a jungle in which I am easily lost. My wife, however, will unerringly point out that the cheese or the leftover roast is hiding right in front of my eyes. Hundreds of such experiences convince me that men and women often inhabit quite different visual worlds. These are differences which cannot be attributed to variations in visual acuity. Man and women simply have learned to use their eyes in very different ways.”
—Edward T. Hall (b. 1914)
