Goldenvoice has created another music festival to add to its impressive mass music events portfolio.
Arroyo Seco Weekend, to be held on June 24-25 will feature Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Mumford and Sons, Alabama Shakes, The Shins, Weezer, and more.

Arroyo Seco Weekend is truly Pasadena taking its name from The Arroyo Seco stream, meaning “dry stream” in Spanish, that passes through Brookside Golf Course and Pasadena from the San Gabriel Mountains.
