We've become regulars at the Dell Summer Rocks Dome, frequenting the state-of-the-art shelter during blistering days at both Lollapalooza and Virgin Mobile Festival.

When the sun sets in New York City these days, and the constant flow of perspiration stops just momentarily, what resembles a cool breeze just might roll through hinting at the season ahead.

Just down the road from Baltimore, the site of Virgin Mobile Festival, lies our Nation's Capital, a city with a rich punk ethos and the original hometown of Shudder to Think, one of the most innovative and revered acts to put out albums on D.C.'s famed Dischord Records.

Not even stolen gear could stop fiery punk luminaries the Stooges from rocking out at this past weekend's Virgin Mobile Festival in Baltimore. Below, check out video clips of the group, led by the irrepressibly wild Iggy Pop, rocking out to classics "1969" and "Loose."

After their Sunday afternoon set at Virgin's South Stage, pastiche-poppers the Go! Team stopped backstage to catch up with SPIN.com. Below, check out video of SPIN.com's Peter Gaston chatting with the Go!

After showing the crowd at the dance tent their 'fancy footwork', hip synth-rock duo made their way backstage to show SPIN.com some interview love. Below, check out a clip of SPIN.com's Peter Gaston talking with Chromeo about the nature of remixes, and how British festival culture is different from U.S. attitudes.

After their Sunday afternoon set on Virgin's North Stage, reunited '90s indie luminaries Shudder to Think were kind enough to stop backstage and have a chat with SPIN.com's Peter Gaston. Below, watch Gaston and the guys talk about relearning their old songs, the possibility of new material, and blowing their recording budget on catering.

They may only be two people, but that doesn't mean that Akron, Ohio's blues behemoths the Black Keys can't bring the noise to a festival stage. Below, check out a clip of Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney tearing through "Set You Free", from 2003's Thickfreakness.

The Virgin Mobile Festival did the time warp when actress-turned-siren Zooey Deschanel and indie-folkie M. Ward brought their nostalgic brand of folk-pop to life. Enjoy streaming clips of the dulcet duo performing sweet tunes from their debut, this year's Volume 1, below.

The pits got a bit more fierce and furious during back-to-back midday sets by Warped Tour veterans Taking Back Sunday and Paramore, the former of whom are on the verge of entering the studio to record a new album. But old favorites -- well, sort of old, from 2006's Louder Now -- kicked off the set. Enjoy the streaming video proof below.
