Milwaukee has Summerfest. Seattle has Bumbershoot. This summer, Pittsburgh has the New American Music Union festival.

The two-day summer music festival -- Aug. 8-9 at the South Side Works -- will feature Bob Dylan and His Band, The Raconteurs, Gnarls Barkley, The Roots, Spoon, The Black Keys, Black Mountain, The Duke Spirit, NASA, Tiny Masters of Today and more.

It's presented by American Eagle Outfitters, in league with host and organizer Anthony Kiedis of the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

In a statement, he said he approached the event by asking himself, "If you could go to any concert in the world, what would it be?"

He added, "My experience tells me that concerts can be life changing. That is how I approached putting this lineup together. 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."

Part of the focus is showcasing college bands, so there will be 15 up-and-coming bands on the bill. Their performances will be judged by music industry people and fellow musicians. The winning college band will receive a full-day recording session in a top Los Angeles studio, valued at $10,000.
