OSAN AIR BASE, Republic of Korea --  Thousands of service members and dependents from Team Osan and the Pacific Region came here July 4, to join in the festivities, music and fun that came with Liberty Fest 2015.

Hit rock group Alien Ant Farm headlined the festival and played songs from their various albums, including "Movies" and "Smooth Criminal."

"This was the third or fourth time we've done a military show for the troops," said Dryden Mitchell, Alien Ant Farm lead singer. "It's our way to give a little thanks and show our appreciation to you guys. The energy is always great; meeting people after the show is probably the coolest part though."

Mitchell and the rest of the "Ant Farm" played an 80-minute set and stayed afterward to see the fireworks show, where Chief Master Sgt. of the Air Force James Cody gave the countdown.

"I was really impressed on how well the whole event played out," said Staff Sgt. Tony Tirado, 51st Communications Squadron radio frequency transmission systems technician. "Through and through, I am a happy customer."

The festival had events for the whole family including a K-9 and Jaws of Life demonstrations.
