More about the international acts:
The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus play melodic hard rock that makes room for punk and power-pop influences. Frontman Ronnie Winter’s emotional vocals get the band classified as emo by some, but their brand of earnest, angsty rock is more closely aligned to that of groups like Hoobastank or Linkin Park. RJA formed in 2003 near Jacksonville, Florida went through several incarnations before finalizing its lineup: singer Ronnie Winter, guitarists Elias Reidy and Duke Kitchens, bassist Joey Westwood and drummer Jon Wilkes. RJA will be bringing you the best offerings over all 4 of their albums. Be prepared to have your mind blown…

Foreign Beggars won "Best New Act" at the 2004 UK Hip Hop awards and were voted Best Group at the Lyric Pad Hip Hop awards in 2005. They were nominated for Best European Hip Hop Act at the 2010 Urban Music Awards alongside nominees Roots Manuva, Ken Ring, Professor Green, La Fouine and Tinie Tempah. In 2012, they were broadcast live globally on computers, iPhones, and iPads for the iTunes Festival 2012, as an opening act for Deadmau5.
