Summer Concerts/Festival You're Looking Forward To

[m-Dok]

Any concerts/shows or festivals you're going to see this summer? Or want to see?



I'm going to one day (Saturday) or the Pitchfork Music Festival in Chicago.. July 29. ( www.pitchforkmusicfestival.com/ )

I'm not so sure if I'm going to make it to these, but Devotchka, Against All Authority, Secret Lives of the Freemasons, and Ministry are all playing locally in late June and Early July.

What I'm looking forward to most, though. Even above Pitchfork. Is Wilco's Jeff Tweedy. I've been aching to see Wilco for a while, but something has always prevented me from going. I'm pretty certain that this year will be no different, considering he's not playing in my city, but he's playing about 2 hours away in Raleigh. That's August 16. I don't care that it's not Wilco, either. I can only assume that Jeff Tweedy alone would be a-okay.

Alright, I'm going to Pitchfork, Lollapalooza, The Aquabats, Cheap Trick, Tha Capitol Steps, Chris Isaak, and John Kay & Steppenwolf, Jefferson Starship, and The Guess Who (those last three are all one show).

AH LOLLAPALOOZA.
The lineup this year looked excellent. I probably would've chosen to go to that festival instead of Pitchfork if it weren't for The Mountain Goats.

you should totally drag your most mainstream friends to Front Line Assembly and promise them that it is actually [latest american idol].

oh man they would shoot me. i tried to get two of my friends to go to the black clouds and underdogs tour (laugh if you want. you know you like it) but the tickets were sold out. i ended up going with a friend who had bought a few extra tickets.

i'm going to see the Counting Crows sometime in August, and i'm extremely excited about that!
i've seen them live once before and they're great.
does anybody here listen to them??

[m-Dok]

Where are they playing?

And actually, I've never really listened to them before, except for a few songs. Which I've liked.

[enutpnut]

at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater, which i've never been to before, so that should be an adventure.

[m-Dok]

I've been there once (with Denise to see Incubus and Ben Kweller) and actually, I knid of hate it.

Outdoor arenas with stadium seating are knid of boring, in my opinion. But still worth it if you really like who's playing, of course.

[regieeuronymous]

yeah. i totally like the smaller club-like concerts way better than the arenas.

[enutpnut]

Incubus and Ben Kweller, eh?

seems like an odd combination to me...

[m-Dok]

Yeah, I didn't really get it. I guess it was all that was available to both artists at the time. And actually, I'd be psyched if I were Kweller, I seriosuly doubt he EVER plays stadiums.

It was sort of sad, though, because no one even went into the stadium to see Ben, they were all loitering just outside the stadium... eating.. and standing.

[enutpnut]

aww...
poor ben..

[frayfoldsthebens]

ahhh Incubus and Ben Kweller. good times.

he signed my..something...or other.

Im going to see FIONA APPLE in august and really excited. yeah.

Ben's new album comes out in September!!!!
