It looks like the concert season for January 2011 is roaring its head, and we say bring it on. Not only will The Black Keys be ringing in the New Year at the Aragon Ballroom, but early bird 5-day passes for 2011's Tomorrow Never Knows fest go on sale today at noon.

For those who don't know, Tomorrow Never Knows is the five-day music festival originally hosted by Schubas. For the 2010 edition, the fest expanded to include then-recently opened sister space Lincoln Hall. The result of such expansion obviously meant more bands, and TNK drew an impressive line-up which included indie luminaries like Atlas Sound, Freelance Whales and Bowerbirds. So the fact that 2011's TNK venue expansion includes the Metro as a third venue must mean that organizers have some big tricks up their sleeve. We'll have to wait and find out what, exactly, those tricks may be, as the line-up hasn't been announced yet. But we do know this: the early bird 5-day passes only cost $50. That makes for an ridiculously affordable $10 per day.

Tomorrow Never Knows runs from January 12, 2011 to January 16, 2011 at Schubas, Lincoln Hall and Metro, Early bird tickets on sale at noon today here.

Update: Early bird passes are officially sold out.
