Concerts coming to your area: Good and Bad

[Epic Springs]

Rage Against the Machine added an additional 2 dates in NY bringing it to 5 dates total. That level of demand in the Tri-State area is astounding but well deserved. I knew there would be great interest but not at this level. Still, this is their first actual tour in 20 years.

Santana is going on tour with Earth, Wind & Fire. This is what the last five years of alternating between listening to classic rock and listening to the smooth jazz/soft R&B station has all built up to, folks.

 

[Big Beard Booty Daddy]

Received a pre-sale code for the PSB/New Order show at MSG. Secured my floor ticket. I am so stoked for this!

 

[tekcop]

Kraftwerk is coming to Memphis this summer, but I don't know for sure I'll be here, so I can't buy tickets yet. :-[

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

Seeing Violent Femmes in Asbury Park in June.

 

[Youth N Asia]

Really want to see Dance Gavin Dance in April but I don’t think I can talk my brother into going.

 

[Epic Springs]

Ratt, Cinderella, Slaughter, and Skid Row at an arena near you this summer.

Holy goddamn, who's idea was this?

And you wanted to go to a concert this year? LMAO.

Alanis Morisette is doing an acoustic show in NYC performing "Jagged Little Pill" (the Broadway play based on the album just opened) in its entirety. I was intrigued but saw tickets went on sale at 10 AM and were sold out by 10:03. Places like Stubhub are selling them for $2K a pop. People are all over my Facebook feed bitching and complaining. Just thought that was funny.

Never fear because Alanis is coming here next summer to commemorate 25 years of "Jagged Little Pill". Garbage is opening!

So I actually bought tickets to this months ago but just got an e-mail that the show is rescheduled for summer 2021. I have no freaking clue how my life will be a year from now so I may take a full refund.

Live concerts won't return until "fall 2021 at the earliest," health expert warns

Large-scale gatherings such as conferences, sport events, and live concerts won't be safe to attend until "fall 2021 at the earliest."

Wow I feel like this is the one COVID prediction that has held steady (just like the death grip Sir Elton has on Fauci)!

 

[snuffbox]

Other than seeing family and friends, live music is the thing I've missed the most during this whole f-wording fucking thing.

 

[Epic Springs]

I have tickets for Rage Against the Machine in August. Live music better sure as hell return by then.

 

[King Kamala]

Way vaccine rollout is going, I'll be happy with anything we get before 2022.

 

[Epic Springs]

I saw him open for GnR in 2011 and he did most of the major songs from the debut. If he does a Slave to the Grind tour in two years I'll go.

EDIT: I looked it up and I see he's also performing this ham jam that was recorded for but left off the debut. I think this is the first time he's ever sang this live.

Sebastian Bach Announces Slave to the Grind Anniversary Tour

Sebastian Bach will celebrate the 30th anniversary of Skid Row's 'Slave to the Grind' by playing the whole album on tour.

Still going @BUTT ?

I'm a fool. Tour is rescheduled until 2022 and the NY shows aren't until that August. It's really a bumpy road to see one of my last bucket list shows.

Well me and @BUTT will be there but who else?

 

[BUTT]

This is coming to Middletown in July. I would absolutely go to see Living Colour (though I could have seen them play a small theater in 2014 and missed it - and I still regret it) but I don't care much about the other bands. I never liked Everclear at all but I could just leave before their set.

 

[King Kamala]

Living Colour really sticks out like a sore thumb on a '90s/'00s nostalgia tour. That being said, 1. I'm not really sure if they wouldn't stand out much less on a '80s nostalgia tour. 2. I would totally see this tour if it came to New England. I actually really like some of Everclear and Hoobastank's singles.

I technically saw Wheatus live. They played Nate Webb to the ring at Joey Janela's Lost in New York.

 

[BUTT]

Andrew W.K. at the Bowery in NYC September 23rd. Not sure if I’m ready to be packed into a small space like that again, vaxxed or not.

 

[Epic Springs]

Yup, music is coming back this Fall! I've seen Andrew multiple times so not sure I'll go but looking forward to seeing what else is announced.

 

[King Kamala]

Just announced Alice Cooper & Ace Frehley are playing whatever the heck they're calling Harbor Lights in Boston now in September. And I think that's a damn, damn good show for me to return to going to big concerts* for.

(I did buy tickets for my girlfriend and I to go see a French jazz show at a small club on Bastille Day but Idk if that's really a concert and it'll rock considerably less than Alice & Spaceman)

George Strait headlining a night of ACL Festival and Journey headlining a night of Lollapalooza (Perry Farrell must be kicking a chainlink fence) really emphasizes how bizarre (and boomer oriented?) concert industry is going to be post pandemic.

 

[BUTT]

GNR tour officially on for Metlife August 5 but the Pumpkins are out as openers, replaced by Wolfgang Van Halen . My memories of being bored to death by Lenny Kravitz in 2016 are looking real good by comparison.

 

[HarleyQuinn]

Interesting... late 90s/early 00s teens would've been stoked!

Should I go see Virgil SOULTRAIN JONES host a horror core rap festival headlined by Flesh N Bone and Shaggy 2 Dope?

 

[Laz]

Do you even need to ask?!

Violent J is busy?

 

[King Kamala]

It’s just New Hampshire. They can’t afford all of ICP.

 

[King Kamala]

Something even more exciting than the 2nd best member of ICP and 3rd best member of Bone Thugs N Harmony headlining in Manchester, NH...my former "home club" is bringing in a The Who tribute fronted by Gary Cherone in September. Where you at, @The Valeyard ?

 

[Valeyard]

I would be thrown out of that show after four drinks. That's the kind of thing someone would get me tickets for as a gift, too. I don't mind tribute bands a lot of the time but Cherone can fuck off. Dude's whole career has been a cover band.

Daltrey is actually coming to the casino near by and I'm thinking about it. Small enough crowd, might be a good show. I guess. Since everyone I want to see is dead, dying, or out of my price range I might as well consider someone I've seen before.
