The post-grunge era band will light up Daytona International Speedway on August 24.
Daytona International Speedway announced today that Lit has been named the pre-race concert performer for the Coke Zero Sugar 400 on August 24. Lit remains one of the most active bands during the post-grunge era and will look to bring the intense energy to the speedway during their performance.
“Bringing in an iconic rock band like Lit to perform our pre-race concert will be awesome for all our fans to enjoy before the Coke Zero Sugar 400,” said Daytona International Speedway President Frank Kelleher. “I know a few of our staff have sung ‘My Own Worst Enemy’ at karaoke a few times before. You better believe I’ll be by the stage with the crowd as we look to build the energy before the NASCAR Playoffs.”
The band includes brothers Ajay Popoff (lead vocals) and Jeremy Popoff (lead guitar), Kevin Baldes (bass), and Taylor Carroll (drums). The popular massive hit single “My Own Worst Enemy” topped the Billboard Hot Modern Rock Tracks chart for 11 weeks and received the Billboard Music Award for Modern Rock Song of the Year in 1999.
Lit has released seven studio albums, with their most successful being the 1999 album A Place in the Sun, which featured “My Own Worst Enemy.” Songs like “Zip-Lock” and “Miserable” also had great success, which lead to the album being certified platinum. The rock band brought a mix of punk energy and power pop to the music world in the 90’s and hasn’t slowed down since.
In April 2022, Lit released their seventh full-length album and debut for Round Hill Records, Tastes Like Gold. Lit goes back to their punk rock roots with this album and decided to make what the fans wanted. Lit toured with Bowling for Soup earlier this year and has plenty of upcoming tour dates still. They’ll tour with the likes of Smash Mouth, Sugar Ray, Hawthorne Heights, and more later this year.
