By Brian Spiegel
Some pretty good on sales this weekend, depending on where you live. Enjoy and have a great, great weekend (except for any Detroit Red Wing fans- you guys are going down).
Check out out top 5 below…
Austin City Limits
- The lineup for the annual Austin City Limits Festival (think a more controlled, less clusterfuck version of SXSW) has been announced for the weekend of October 2-4 at Ziegler Park in Austin, TX. Headlining the festival will be the usual suspects like Pearl Jam, The Beastie Boys, and Dave Matthews Band and the weekend features performances by such 2009 festival mainstays as Kings of Leon, Lily Allen, The Decemberists, Girl Talk, The Arctic Monkeys, Mos Def and many more. You can find the whole lineup as well as ticket information here.
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
- The always reliable, and sometimes unhinged, indie darling’s The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, have announced a handful of US dates for an upcoming world tour. The dates, which include headlining and radio festival shows, begin May 23rd in Quincy, WA and stops in such places as Chicago, Detroit, St. Louis, San Diego, and San Francisco before ending June 12 at the the Bonnaroo Festival in Tennessee. Check all dates here and expect more to be added.
Sonic Youth
- Arguably one of the coolest bands to ever come out of the NYC, Sonic Youth, has announced a full slate of dates for an upcoming US tour. The tour begins June 28th in Chicago, IL and then hits every popular metropolis before coming to an end August 2nd in Oakland, CA. Find all the dates here.
Cursive
- F-ing awesome mid-west band Cursive will hit the road in support of their new record “Mama, I’m Swollen”. In addition to the East Coast US dates which will occur in the next two weeks, a slew of West Coast dates have been announced beginning June 13th in Denver, CO. After shows in such places as Billings and Missoula, Montana (bring your own bison, they will not be provided at the door) the tour winds up in Salt Lake City on July 1st in Salt Lake City. Check yo’ local dates here.
Lemonheads
