Smash Mouth to perform at ‘Music Under the Stars’
Alternative rockers Smash Mouth will perform at “Music Under the Stars.”
The 2016 lineup for the annual summer music festival was released Tuesday.
The Museums & Cultural Affairs Department announced in March that the annual music series will be held at both the Chamizal National Memorial and Cohen Stadium in Northeast El Paso.
The move came after El Paso City Council approved funds to make improvements to Cohen Stadium for continued use. It was also a move to accommodate Fort Bliss Families, a lot of whom live in Northeast El Paso.
