Popdose Contest: Win Tickets to the New American Music Union Festival

This year’s newest music festival, the New American Music Union, takes place in Pittsburgh on August 8th and 9th — and Popdose has two tickets up for grabs!

Created by Red Hot Chili Peppers frontman Anthony Kiedis and hosted by American Eagle Outfitters, New American Music Union will feature Bob Dylan & His Band, the Raconteurs, Gnarls Barkley, the Black Keys, the Roots, Spoon, and others (but not Red Hot Chili Peppers, oddly enough). Stage Two will feature 15 college bands, competing for the chance to win a recording session in LA. The whole shindig takes place in Pittsburgh’s South Side Works.

Who wouldn’t jump at the chance to see Dylan, Cee-Lo, and ?uestlove on the same stage? We thought so. So here’s your chance to win two tickets to the festival — just answer this simple trivia challenge, devised by Popdose’s own Ken Shane …

Connect Bob Dylan to Sitka, Alaska.

First person to leave the correct answer (or a correct answer) in the comments wins the tickets! Please note that this concert is only for the tickets themselves; you’re on your own for transportation and lodging.

Good luck! And check out more information on the festival here!
