PITTSBURGH -- Bob Dylan and His Band, The Raconteurs, Gnarls Barkley and The Roots are all part of a new, two-day music festival planned in Pittsburgh this summer.

The New American Music Union festival -- set for Aug. 8-9 at the South Side Works -- combines established acts with upcoming college bands.

"My experience tells me that concerts can be life changing. That is how I approached putting this lineup together," said Red Hot Chili Peppers singer Anthony Kiedis, who organized the event with American Eagle Outfitters. "The thrill of seeing Bob Dylan next to The Raconteurs next to Gnarls Barkley next to The Roots is reason for us all to celebrate."

Other bands on the bill include Spoon, The Black Keys, Black Mountain, The Duke Spirit, NASA and Tiny Masters of Today.

General admission tickets for $49.50 and student tickets for $25 go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday at livenation.com, ticketmaster.com and Ticketmaster locations, or call 866-448-7849.
