Wayne's World 2 is a 1993 comedy film starring Mike Myers and Dana Carvey as hosts of a cable access television show from Aurora, Illinois. The movie was adapted from a popular sketch on NBC's Saturday Night Live and is the sequel to Wayne's World. A year has passed since the first Wayne's World. Wayne has moved out of his parents' house and broadcasts his public-access cable show from an abandoned doll factory. Garth is also finding independent life interesting as he meets Honey Hornée while doing his own laundry. One night, Jim Morrison visits Wayne in a dream and tells him to put on a rock festival. Wayne and Garth travel to England to find Del Preston, a fictional roadie. Wayne calls the festival "Waynestock", a parody of the Woodstock Festival. As all this is happening, Cassandra is slowly being convinced by Bobby Cahn, her record producer, to move to Los Angeles from Aurora, Illinois and later to marry him. While Wayne is busy trying to get Waynestock into shape, Garth is spending more and more time with the new lady in his life. In the movie, Waynestock was held in Adlai Stevenson Memorial Park, in Aurora, Illinois. The acts that Wayne booked included Crucial Taunt (Tia Carrere and band), Aerosmith, Rip Taylor, Pearl Jam, and Van Halen. Aerosmith performs "Shut Up and Dance" at the concert. Additionally, likenesses of Pearl Jam and Van Halen can be seen being escorted out of a limousine-length Mirthmobile by the weird naked Indian as the closing credits begin.
