Homegrown Festival will hold its fifth installment on Saturday, May 10. They already announced a headlining set from The Toadies, and just now they've announced several of the bands that will be joining them. One of them is ...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead, playing their masterpiece Source Tags and Codes in its entirety.
