KROQ Almost Acoustic Christmas

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Acoustic Christmas (short title: Acoustic X-Mas) is an annual concert run by the Los Angeles, California radio station KROQ.

Since its inception in 1990, the concert has attracted increasingly popular alternative rock bands and singers. It takes place over a weekend in mid-December, and has in recent years been broadcast for free on KROQ's web site.

In 1999, a compilation of live recordings, The Best of KROQ's Almost Acoustic Christmas, was released.
