Take eight stages, mix them in over more than a dozen city blocks and fill them with some 50

bands and you have a recipe for Xcitement.

The ninth annual Xclamation Festival -- X-Fest for short -- brings hot acts to the hot

streets of downtown Modesto on July 19 for a nightlong outdoor music festival.

Headlining this year's event will be "American Idol" runner-up Blake Lewis and Canadian pop

punkers Simple Plan.

The festival boasts one of its highest-profile lineups this year, with a slew of artists

crossing musical genres from alternative rock to dance pop, hip-hop to classic rock,

electronica to reggae and more.
