What MUSIC concerts/shows/festivals will you be going to this summer?

[Yit]

Of course all of my local festivals. I'm a local junkie. But I'm really hoping to go see Black Eyed Peas. And if I can go see Green Day again, I'd shit gold ding dongs! What about you? What are you looking forward to?

:yourock:

[ghostsofgiants]

1. I'm hoping to see Alexisonfire a week from today

Then there's Figer Eleven, K-os and The Tragically Hip at a local festival.

And Pearl Jam in September.

[Yit]

4. Take me with you

for the Pearl Jam show. Ppppplllllleeeeaaaasssssseeeeee!

[ghostsofgiants]

15. Haha, that's assuming I can even make it

Rumour has it Queens of the Stone Age are opening (though it hasn't been announced) so I'm expecting that to be an amazing show.

Frankly, though, I'm more excited about Alexisonfire, haha.

[Yit]

24. I saw

Queens of the Stone Age once. I wasn't very impressed. Kinda bummed me out.

[ghostsofgiants]

26. That sucks

Only time I've ever seen them perform was on SNL when Will Ferrell played cowbell for them. They were alright then, I thought.

[Yit]

27. Cowbell!

:silly:

[hippiechick]

42. Blue Merle plays some wicked cowbell !

www.bluemerle.com

Saw them here in Indy in May, and at Bonnaroo.
Kickass bluegrass/alt/country dudes !


:hi:

[Yit]

44. I'm sorry

I just can't help but laugh when I hear the word cowbell!

[Droopy]

2. Probably none

It seems like since I hit 30 that concerts and festivals just don't do much for me anymore. I even passed up a free ticket to see my favorite band right now: Muse.

[Yit]

Age is just a number.

You are as old as you feel.

[Droopy]

11. I guess I'm feeling pretty damn old

I probably lived about 40 years when I was in my 20s. Now days I'd rather find a good fishing hole down at the river than hop in a mosh pit at a concert.

[Yit]

12. So what music will you

be listening to at the fishing hole then?

[Droopy]

19. Just the music created by nature

I still love music and I listen to it all the time while I'm on the computer and out driving for my job. I'm just not into the concert scene anymore. My current favorites are "Absolution" by Muse and "The End Of Heartache" by Killswitch Engage.

[Yit]

22. Nature's good.

Oldest music ever, right?

[bbernardini]

3. Saw Dan Bern, Charlotte Martin, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Mike Keneally...

Probably going to see The Samples, and maybe Blue Oyster Cult.

[Yit]

7. Busy summer?

[bbernardini]

13. Actually, 3 of those were in 11 days. :)

The Mike Keneally concert was a week later.

[Yit]

23. I bet

you were in seventh heaven!

[warrens]

5. Lollapalooza

Pixies, Dinosaur Jr., Brian Jonestown Massacre, The Arcade Fire...it's gotta be good, even if, for no apparent reason, Billy Idol and String Cheese Incident are also playing.

[Yit]

6. I'm going to go see

String Cheese Incident also! Yippie!

[Serial Mom]

25. Where?

They aren't playing anywhere in FL or even anywhere in SE US?

[Yit]

30. I'm going to visit my brother in

NYC next month. You a big fan?

[Serial Mom]

32. Not really, but I know they are coming to my area

Milwaukee's Summerfest!

One of the biggest music festivals around! Bet you'd like it!

[Yit]

You should stop by

and check'em out. You just never know, you might like them.

[Serial Mom]

35. I think I would run into somebody there that I wouldn't want to see!

[Yit]

36. Eek, don't do that then!

:scared:

[mahina]

8. Ledward Ka'apana

he plays at Don Ho's every Tuesday. Nobody plays Hawai'i.
But I love Ledward so it's cool.

[Yit]

9. Oooooh

I wish I could be there!

[Merrick]

10. System of A Down, Mars Volta

They're playing five blocks away Aug. 4. How could I continue living if I didn't get floor tickets?

[Emops]

14. Green Day is playing a few hundred yards away from me

at the Nutter Center, although I don't know if I'm gonna go or not.

My dad is taking me to see the Rolling Stones this fall. If he's going to pay $200+ for concert tickets, I'd rather be front row for U2, but hey, the Stones are good.

[louis-t]

16. Mc Cartney and Elvis Costello

Kin ye tell I'm old?

[Yit]

20. Don't be silly.

I listen to those guys every once and a while.

[matcom]

17. Richie Havens this Friday

:bounce:

[ghostsofgiants]

28. You have no idea how jealous I am

I've only seen the Woodstock movie, but of all the performances in that, his is definitely my favourite.

[matcom]

29. then i shouldn't tell you

he is playing at a local MIDDLE SCHOOL - seating capacity? 200 :D

[ghostsofgiants]

31. Damn, that sounds awesome

I love small shows like taht.

[madrchsod]

Especially being able to afford the tickets (save for Ticketbastard's price gouging) is nice.

[Yit]

46. Hook me up with something!

Anything!

[tjwmason]

41. The Proms

About 2 months of daily concerts at the Royal Albert Hall, some of the very best musicians/orchestras/choirs &c. on the planet.

It's perfectly possible for me to go to work, then hop on a train into London to catch the concert - have a quick drink with a chum afterwards, and get home. There's a goodly number of concerts I'd like to go to this year - including Giulio Cesare on what is allegedly my birthday. :bounce:

[hippiechick]

43. After Bonnaroo last week, and the local jam this weekend

... which was a major fucking letdown (I shoulda chosen Option #2) ...
the only other gigs I have planned are a roadtrip to Louisville to see Ray Lamontagne :loveya: in July, and possibly Widespread Panic w/ Driveby Truckers and OAR here in Indy.


:hi:

[Bluzmann57]

47. One of the greatest Blues Fests in America!

The Mississippi Valley Blues Fest. 40 bands, three days, five stages! We have an absolutely ass kicking lineup this year, including Marcia Ball, Lil' Ed and the Blues Imperials, Magic Slim and the Teardrops with John Primer(real Chicago Blues folks), Joe Bonnamossa, and Ike Turner headlines this extravaganza. At least two other shows I am attending this year are ZZ Top at the local fair, and Green Day at our arena. Very good year for music, even for us old guys.

[Yit]

48. What about the Blues festival?

Good eats too?

[Bluzmann57]

49. Mostly typical Fest type food

But a local vendor, Jim's Rib Haven is there every year and these are some damn fine ribs. They were featured on the Food Channel at one time. But the Blues Fest is all about the music. C'mon over! You'll like it. But beware, motel and hotel rooms are going fast. There is camping available at a few local parks though.
on edit- the web address for all things Bluesfest is www.mvbs.org

[Yit]

50. They better be good.

I make a hell of a rack. So if I'm not pleased, it's on you. :silly:

[ceile]

51. Austin City Limits Fest....

with 100,000+ of my closest friends. And The Killers.

[Yit]

53. I've just recently started

listening to The Killers. Dig the music, but I don't know if I'd see them quite yet.

[ceile]

56. I saw them open for the Pixies in Houston....

without having heard any of their music and I fell in love immediately! They're playing at the festival and also at a small club in town in August. I can't wait. You should really check 'em out-they rock live!

[Yit]

57. A small club would be nice.

Heck any show in a small club is nice!

[mark414]

52. why, the biggest music festival in the world

http://www.summerfest.com

[Yit]

54. You're the second

person that has told me bout it.

[shanti]

55. sierra nevada world music festival!

the 3 day festival was this past weekend and it was great! i don't think i'll be doing any more 3 day fests anymore tho...maybe i'm getting too old for them (i'm 49), but i am wiped out!

same with reggae on the river, which i've attended several times. i'll leave it for the kids now:-)
