Title: Manu Chao coming to DC June 23rd - 9:30 Club??

 can anyone give some inside info on this?  there is a DC date listed (june 23rd) for the upcoming Manu Chao US Tour - but unlike pretty much every other city on the tour, the venue for the DC date is not listed.  
 
 trying to get tickets for this one ASAP
 thanks for your help!

That's crammin a ton of stuff in a little venue, but if TC can fit in there I suppose it's possible.  But it would seem more likely, "DC" is Columbia.
 
 I take that back, seeing the venues in other cities,  930 is likely but not apart of the current presale.

The Brooklyn show is free.

The Brooklyn show is not free, unless by "free" you mean $30.  (Most of the shows in Prospect Park are free, however.)

Yeah I mentioned this in Just Announced a while back.  If anyone knows anything about the venue or when tickets are on sale or anything that would be awesome.

Is Thievery a DJ set or live preformance? Seth?

a DJ performance at merriweather would be weird, espeically with no other acts on the bill...
 
 from TM: Also appearing: Bebel Gilberto and DJ sets from Ursula 1000, Nickodemus, and Thunderball.
 
 i'm betting it's a live TC set since the above DJ sets were specified (hopefully seth will confirm soon).  live TC would also mean 3 DJ sets and 3 live acts, i.e. one dj set between each live act.

The fellas are right.  This is going to be a Great show, unique local billing.  Very impressed, and will sell out on the strength of TC playing but those sleeping on MC will get a great awakening.

sweets, check your pm. also, the musictoday sale is still available and will save you some $$$ vs ticketwanker if you can't get to the 930 to buy in person.
 
 pavillion is entirely GA, correct?

Post by: sweetcell on April 19, 2007, 12:40:00 am
lily: the musictoday presale is for GA floor only, which i don't want.  the pavilion is reserved (assigned seating), not GA... first chance to get seats is tomorrow's presale which i'm all over.

after much banging away, i eventually got 3rd row left-center, about middle of the row.  so not great placement in terms of centering, but close with a great view - and, above all, seats!  woohoo!
 
 this is going to be a GREAT show.

Does anyone know what Manu Chao's lineup will be- the stripped-down 5-piece that toured the US last year or (please, lord) the full-on 20something group w/horn section and all that stuff?
 
 Seth, any idea?

update (as if anyone cares) - a buddy chimed in asking to join us, so i got back on TM this morning and got a 3-pack of Center section row P (9th row) - not bad!  looks like a work collegue will be taking my previous pair, so all's good    :)  
 
 i'm kinda surprised that floor tickets are still available, i would have thought that they'd disappear within the first few minutes.  i have no doubt that they will be gone shortly, within a day or two.

Hope to catch Manu Chao at Coachella! That might be enough. Thievery Corp. - probably better on my stereo  :)
