Remember, this is only a rumor, and has NOT been officially confirmed. But it is pretty exciting. : )

Wow that looks likes an Awesome line-up so far....well maybe if it's not a rumor!!! Damn I wished I lived in LA or at least was able to go!
ReplyDeleteI believe someone said in another topic that KROQ will be showing a webcast of the show? I sure hope so!!!
Oooh, this is exciting. When is KROQ expected to make an official announcement? :)
ReplyDeleteF- YEAH!
ReplyDeleteok breath kelly breath!
So who is losing sleep over getting tickets with me for the next month??
smashing pumpkins and STP too? right on!
ReplyDeleteI didn't even read that the first time - I stopped at THE CURE! ha!
I'm going to SP there on 12/3. I hope they are the same night as The Cure. Billy is wicked on guitar. Tickets to these KROQ shows are not easy to get and definitely not cheap.
ReplyDeleteGOD what are the chances that they play the 14th???
ReplyDeleteSHOOT my plane tix is scheduled to leave at 6:30 on the 14th.
YOU'D THINK THE BIG BAND WOULD DO SAT NIGHT RIGHT????

ReplyDeleteooo...how exciting!
ReplyDeleteThats is one hell of a line up.
ReplyDeleteNME awards take note.
KB I TOO AM LEAVING LA ON THE 14TH SO THEY BETTER FUCKING PLAY ON THE 13TH
ReplyDeletedo you think it will be a big concert, with the three hours and all?
ReplyDeleteThey'll probably get around 90 minutes if they're headlining.
ReplyDeleteHa, I knew it!
ReplyDeleteKelbel,
ReplyDeleteCan you change your time? Cross fingers they play on 13th. I mean, c'mon, 13th. KROQ usually has a heavier rock show one night (which is usually Sun) and a different vibe the other night. My hope is STP is on Sun and Cure Sat. Would love to see Billy play with Robert
They're totally playing there I bet. They always play KROQ Events. Huzzah!
ReplyDeletedid anyone think of e-mailing the guy who posted the Craigslist post for a source?
ReplyDeleteSO exciting!!!
ReplyDeletejust think...the 13th dream 413 they have to play the 13th bc its the in the album title!!!! i cant fucking wait! LA, here i come!
ReplyDeleteI called KROQ today and the man told me that they would be announcing the lineup in a couple of weeks. Hope this helps.
ReplyDeleteIn a couple of weeks?? That gives very little time to prepare.
ReplyDeleteYou may not have much time to prepare.
ReplyDeleteBut at least you,ll be going to there.
I sadly, won't even get near.
I'll be miles away, right here.
Man, they did this for the weenie roast. It was around a week's notice. It's okay. Swifty, so wish you could be here.
ReplyDeleteCheers CH! Did The Cure play at this thing called Weenie Roast? Was Simon wearing WHT's that time?
ReplyDeleteHa! candy canes and weenie roasts. it doesn't get much better
ReplyDeleteAndy: Yes, I e-mailed the person, but haven't heard back from them.
ReplyDelete2 weeks! you have got to be kidding. i checked out last years line up and it was announced nov 12th, that was a monday, so im going to put my money on monday!...for right now. i need to find out soon to i can buy my return ticket to seattle!!!i have a feeling this is going to cost me the big bucks.
ReplyDeletedamn - cat we might wanna look at our airline reservations - cuz we are scheduled to go home on sunday!!!
ReplyDeletei just HOPE they play saturday!!!!
and its the saturday the 13th - so it HAS to be then!!!! too much 13 to pass up!!!
I live in LA and have been to this event the first two years it was held (91-92 back when KROQ played music I would actually listen to) and it is held at the Universal Amphitheatre. That is a 6000 seat venue which means tix will sell out in minutes. The tickets have also been sold before the line up is announced and still sell out quickly. The event is for charity and face value on the tix is usually right around $100 so the scalpers (of which I am occasionally one) can get $300-$500 depending on location. On the bright side these holiday shows usually happen in SF, Seattle and other places where tix are easier to get so I might hold off putting all your eggs in one basket.
ReplyDeletechris most likely i have to leave sunday but we will see
ReplyDeletei cant take that much time off right now from work
we'll see.. i might get desperate enough to figure out something if they do play sunday, the muthafukaz
RSX PLAY SATURDAY YOU FOOL
@B
ReplyDeleteI could be wrong but I am pretty sure a concert ticket is a commodity. When I buy collectible records should I get a discount because I really like the band? If I buy a 67 Mustang Fastback, should the seller only be able to get what they paid for it. Gimme a break. I drove around the country this spring following the band on all the shows between Denver and San Diego in part because I scored good seats and was able to turn a profit on them and thus mitagate some of the cost. I paid full price on every ticket. I bought and got them in the same manner as everyone else. If you want to be mad at ticket agencies for scooping up free tickets and for having backdoors inside TM go ahead but otherwise talk about things you know more about.

ReplyDeletedeck the hall ball has already been announced, happening on the 6th of dec and the cure is not preforming.
