Alien Ant Farm in Edinburgh

Alien Ant Farm is an American rock band formed in Riverside, California, in 1996. Their alternative rock and alternative metal sound reached a broad audience through their cover of Michael Jackson’s “Smooth Criminal” and the single “Movies,” both from the album Anthology. The band toured extensively behind Anthology, including dates opening for Papa Roach. A European run in 2002 was halted after a tour-bus crash in Spain, which killed the driver and injured members of the group. Alien Ant Farm returned to package touring in 2016 as part of Make America Rock Again.
