Virgin Music Festival @ Pimlico

i highly doubt that. they sold out nearly every date on their us tour last year, including 3 back to back nights at the 930 club. and if i'm not mistaken, sold out every night of their european tour last year as well.
 

When they were at Club One in 2003, there was no one there...

 furthermore, as gay white men are typically the first of the "urban pioneers" to move into aforementioned neighborhoods, and according to someone (don't remember who) who posts on here, b&s have a significant following the gay community, then you are indeed, spot on hoya!
 

Eh I think you're wrong here..it's the white druggies that move in first.  Gotta be close to the package!

 If The Who can tour, what's next?
 
 A Beatles tour to support the new album?
 
 A Ramones tour?
 
 How many surviving members does a band have to have in order to form a "We're broke we need fast cash" tour?
 
 There was a fake commercial on the old Saturday Night Live, back when that program was funny, where Elvis' jacket was on tour crooning the hits. Maybe now even Elvis will make a comeback?  
 
 If The Ramones did decide to tour, who would they get for lead singer...John Paul Rodgers is already taken?

absolutely right.  entwhistle was all i liked the band for.  towhnsend can suck me

Well, I think I've decided to pass on the Virgin Festival this year. I was really only interested in seeing The Raconteurs and The Flaming Lips, but I just don't think it's worth the cost and hassle for me to see basically just two bands. I couldn't talk any of my friends into going either, so that's also factored into my decision, and, as I mentioned earlier in this thread, I'm just not a fan of the music festival format. 'Tis a shame. I have a feeling that this may be my only chance ever to see The Raconteurs perforrm, and unlike so many vocal naysayers on this forum, I really like their album (and pretty much anything Jack White does, I admit). I hope the festival is a success and that next year is even better.

I'm leaning toward not going...the 100 something to see a couple bands (lips, rancontuers and the drive by truckers), plus the hassle of getting in and out of pimlico is pointing me towards no...put the money aside and save up for coachella next year, or something

What hassle?  Just take light rail and hoof it from Cold Spring lane.

Did anyone else have issues getting tickets w/ th presale today?  I tried using the password I got through Volume, at about 6 pm, and while it seemed to take the password, it told me that there were no tickets available.  I guess I'll just do the regular sale.

i thought the presale was friday?

[chokeychicken]

lollapalooza > v-card festival

[Got Haggis?]

the 930 club presale is friday....but there were some presales yesterday too from what i've read. (dc 101 i think)

It really is quite disappointing that they scheduled such a great concert on one of the most important Jewish holy days.  I would have loved to go to the show but unfortunately I can't.  Amazing that Seth Hurwitz wouldn't be sensitive to this issue.
