Which are you going to/planning to go to?

I just got tickets to Dave Matthews/OAR/Ray Lamontagne/Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros/Amos Lee + numerous others in Chicago. Totally excited.

Already hit up Manchester Orchesttra/An Horse/Harrison Hudson. Probably going to catch Murder By Death on Thursday at Musica in Akron. Likely seeing O'brother there in June as well. Probably some others.

My wife and I go up to Lollapalooza every year and will be doing the same this year. Other than that, The Big 4 at Yankee Stadium (Slayer, Metallica, Megadeth and Anthrax), The Black Keys, and Leroy Powell.

I have DMB Caravan tickets to Atlantic City and Chicago. Still planning on going to both, but I have been thinking about selling my Chicago ticket. Know anyone who would want to buy it?

Where are you seeing Leroy and The Black Keys? I'm tempted to buy Kid Rock tickets just to see Leroy open.

Ryan Bingham mostly. There are a few other decent acts. Mostly going up since it's convenient that the Reds will be in town.

I'd suggest catching Manchester Orchestra, An Horse, and Cage the Elephant while you're there. All three put on a great show. Manchester is quickly becoming one of my favorites.

So far, the wife and I have plans for three concerts.

Motley Crue and Poison...which will be epic for people watching.

311 and Sublime with Rome

Journey and Foreigner

All will be at Riverbend this summer.

OAR and Rascal Flatts at Riverbend in Cincinnati. Ironically they are on back to back nights in July.

Justin, my buddy and I do a golf trip every year and we had decided to go to Chicago this year and it just so happened to be the same weekend the Reds are playing up there, so I'll be at one of the games that weekend. I think we're going to go Friday but not sure yet.

I was scheduled to buy Bonnaroo tickets this week, but found out they sold out before my buddy could convince his girlfriend to not come with us. Ironically, they broke up and then he didn't want to go to The Airborne Toxic Event tonight as a result. I got double fucked hahah

I will go see OAR, then probably Lollapalooza if one day has some good bands. I want to see Coldplay, Muse, Foo Fighters, Young The Giant, Maps & Atlases, Cage The Elephant, City and Colour, etc.

Tobias, your location says Columbus. You should see Cage the Elephant with Manchester Orchestra on the 18th at LC Pavilion. That'd cross off one of those bands plus Manchester kills.

Yeah I saw that, I'm seriously considering it. One of my best high school buddies goes to John Carroll (I guess he wants to work fast food the rest of his life...) and saw Cage The Elephant when they came to campus, he said they were outstanding.

Flogging Molly was my big seller this year.

I'll be seeing Leroy in July in NJ. Tickets are for the Kid Rock show and that's exactly what i'm doing. And the Black Keys are playing up in Buffalo in July as well.

I am probably headed to Nashville at the end of June, probably try to catch something down there.

If I had the money/time, I'd probably go to Green Bay to watch ZBB (who's with Kenny Chesney, but I could care less about him). I'd love to see ZBB, and watching them in Green Bay would be magnificent.

Wildcats and I are going to OAR on Friday and I am going to Rock on the Range on Saturday and Sunday. Hopefully I don't die.

Those are the only 3 so far.

That's funny, I have an aunt that graduated from John Carroll that has a better job than double whatever the best job you have your entire life is.

And why would anyone want to waste time and money at Bonnaroo this year? Maybe the worst Roo lineup ever.
