97X's annual rock show that people can't seem to get enough of is just a couple of weeks away, and this year's line up is our favorite by far! Presented by the Florida Central Credit Union, Next Big Thing will be returning to the Tampa Bay Area on December 7th at Vinoy Park in St. Petersburg.

This will be the 12th year in a row for Next Big Thing, and as always the show will impress every person that attends. For those who like to participate in mosh pits, you won't have to worry about overheating in a tight venue. Vinoy Park is the perfect location to enjoy a rock show such as Next Big Thing. It's open-air location allows you to get away from the crowd if you need a quick escape and enjoy the cool air over by the water.

The show kicks off at noon with two stages featuring an assortment of high-profile alternative and rock acts. This year's acts include Thirty Seconds to Mars, Jimmy Eat World, A Day To Remember and Stone Temple Pilots performing with Linkin Park's Chester Bennington, Manchester Orchestra, the Dirty Heads, Sleeping With Sirens, The 1975, Frank Turner, and Saints of Valory.

Get your tickets for just $55 now before the price goes up to $65 after December 2nd! If you wait until the last minute, tickets will be $80 at the door.
