Hot Dog Party 20: Young & Sick w/Cannibal Kids/more

Ybor City venue Crowbar is reserving two whole nights for its last “Hot Dog Party” ever. Leading the charge on day one is Young & Sick, the brainchild of Nick van Hofwegen who’s touring behind Alright, a 2025 collection of almost-yachty pop-rock. Other bands on the bill include Florida indie-rock darling Cannibal Kids, along with hometown heroes like songwriter Geri X, lupine punk band Wolf-Face, and “The freakiest boi band of Tampa” Bad Cameo. Jeremy Gloff, aka the Doggfather and creator of the Hot Dog Party theme song, rounds out the bill alongside DJ and producer Wally Rios. A rep for Hot Dog Party told Creative Loafing Tampa Bay that two versions of the infamous hot dog eating competition will go down: an all-beef throwdown on Friday, July 3 and the vegan contest on Saturday, July 3. —Ray Roa</b>
