'90s Alternative Rock Band Headlining RomeoFest 2026

ROMEOVILLE, IL — A leading alternative rock back from the '90s will headline Thursday night at RomeoFest, the Village shared in a news release.

Everclear, which formed in 1992, has had 11 studio releases, including four that have been certified Gold or Platinum, a news release shares. They have sold over 6 million records and achieved 12 Top 40 Hit Singles on Mainstream Rock, Alternative, and Adult Top 40 radio, including “Santa Monica,” “Father of Mine,” “I Will Buy You A New Life,” “Wonderful,” and “Everything To Everyone.”
