If it's feisty live music you need this weekend, get your fanny over to Vinoy Park. The gorgeous St. Petersburg spot plays host to some of the hippest, hottest stars on the planet Saturday and Sunday.
Start things off on Saturday with those fun Nebraska punks, 311, headlining a multibill act that also includes Alien Ant Farm and electronica-dance club mavens Crystal Method.
Don't bother cleaning the park, because things get wild again on Sunday when the Urban Car Show wheels in, starring superfabulous hip-hop goddess Missy Elliott - Team Pop's very favorite chick rapper - and the hardcore 50 Cent. Also on the bill: G-Unit, Baby & the Cash Money Millionaires, T.I., Jackie-O, Lil' Flip, Lil' Jon & the Eastside Boyz, the Yin Yang Twins, YoungBloodz plus more than 50 autos of famous rap and R&B stars.
Shenanigans with 311 and the gang begin at 3 p.m. Saturday at Vinoy Park on the downtown St. Petersburg waterfront. Tickets are $19.97. Sunday's Urban Car Show kicks off at noon. Tickets are $20. Tickets for both shows are available at Ticketmaster: (813) 287-8844 or (727) 898-2100.
