America!

added 17 March 2010 at 13.38

This weekend, Xfm is paying tribute to our cousins from over the Atlantic - the greatest bands, the top tracks....

This weekend, we are paying tribute to The Land Of The Free... Yes, Xfm Salutes America!

Across Saturday 20 and Sunday 21 March, Xfm will be playing the very best tracks by the finest acts to come out of the good old US of A. From rock behemoths to tight-trousered indie boys, we'll be saluting the States.

Plus! The Live Hour will feature excellent archive performances from Red Hot Chili Peppers, R.E.M., The Strokes, Kings Of Leon, Queens Of The Stone Age and Foo Fighters. Sunta kicks off proceedings at 9pm on Sunday - you can listen on 104.9 in London, 97.7 in Manchester, on Digital Radio or online right here.

Check out all the other Yank-centric stuff we've got going on right here... including Xfm's favourite American albums of all time.
