Empty Out Your Wallet

We’ve divided this week into the old, the in-between, and the young because we felt that the myriad of choices out there this weekend needed some sort of random pronouncement that really means nothing at all. Sorry ‘bout that, we may have just watched too much CSPAN yesterday and lapsed into nothing speak.

The Old
Psychedelic Furs
June 29, House of Blues, $24.50-$26.50, 18+, on sale Friday at 10:00 a.m.

Def Leppard, Styx, Foreigner – The triple threat of old!
June 30, First Midwest Bank Amphitheatre, $39-$84, all ages, on sale Saturday at 11:00 a.m.

Chicago, America
June 30, Northerly Island’s Charter One Pavilion, $39.50-$67.50, all ages, on sale Saturday at 10:00 a.m.

The In-Between
Katie Todd, Matthew Santos, Julie Frost
June 1, Double Door, $8, 21+, on sale at noon on Saturday

Dave Matthews Band, The Roots
August 25 & 26, Alpine Valley Music Theatre, $40-$65, all ages, on sale noon Saturday

The Young
Deadboy and the Elephantmen, CoCoComa
June 16, Schubas, $10, 21+, on sale Friday at 10:00 a.m.

Mika
June 11, Metro, $20, all ages, on sale noon Saturday

We already mentioned the Amy Winehouse venue change that opens up more tickets. Those go on sale at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday. Genesis added another date to their old guy tour. This one is October 4 and the presale is going on now, or take a chance and buy them Monday at 10:00 a.m.

All those dates in June made us a little excited about the beach, booze, and general summer fun. Enjoy Saturday’s 70 degree weather, we know we will be outside grilling and drinking! We already have the pork chops for the grill and a case of Shiner on ice.
