Killers, Roots, Built to Spill for Vegoose Fest

The Killers, the Mars Volta, Fiona Apple, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Built to Spill, the Raconteurs, and a host of other artists have been confirmed to perform at the second annual Las Vegas music festival, Vegoose, which will be held Oct. 28 and 29 at Sam Boyd Stadium.
