Dial Up Fest: Nelly & Sugar Ray in Chandler, AZ

Formed in Newport Beach, California, Sugar Ray evolved from a nu-metal band into a defining Southern Californian pop-rock outfit led by singer Mark McGrath and guitarist Rodney Sheppard. Their 1997 breakthrough album Floored featured the massive reggae-infused hit Fly. The triple-platinum follow-up 14:59 spawned the chart-topping singles Every Morning and Someday, cementing their sunny pop sound.

Born in Austin, Texas, rapper Nelly rose to fame with his diamond-certified 2000 debut album, Country Grammar, and chart-topping hits like Hot in Herre and Dilemma. He formed the St. Lunatics, earned multiple Grammy Awards, and later released the country-rap album Heartland.
