As if the recent run of secret shows from Depeche Mode, the Rolling Stones and Atoms for Peace wasn't enough, looks like the revived Nine Inch Nails will be doing something ahead of their upcoming...

Second line, even if Nick was back on bass and Grohl drumming.

Tong and others have phrased the question in the wrong way: Instead of asking if they will tour behind this record, they should be asking if there will be any live shows.

It seems like an album...

Looking for a single for the Rolling Stones at Staples Center this Friday; conversely, I also entered the drawing for the day-of-show sale $85 tickets.

If I get selected, would anyone want the...

I asked around if they were holding it and one of the guys at the boutique said he had done an inventory of stuff specifically for the vintage sale; strange that it didn't happen.

It would actually be game six of the first round; Unless Steve Blake delivers a couple of big shooting performances to help out Pau and Howard, this thing ain't going that far.

Rolling Stones' show at Staples Center has been moved back one day to Friday, May 3 to accommodate a possible Lakers playoff game on the second.

I'd guess probably next week, though much of the bill looks pretty obvious based on who is playing 91X and Live105 shows bookending that Saturday (May 18) - 30 Seconds to Mars, Passion Pit, Silversun...

Re: Heineken Dome, I wonder if they could swap and put the ferris wheel back where it used to be. Seems like that would be a reasonable solution.

Jessie Ware and Sam Smith performed with Disclosure.

Has anyone had issues parking all day at the Albertsons where the Green Line pick up/drop off is?

The last few years I've stayed at the Holiday Inn Express across the street and walked over, but...

Regarding the talent budget, I do wonder if the cost of booking the Stones or any other headliner of that caliber can be offset by increased advertising/marketing revenue.

It's that time of year once again.

I'm planning to hit Glasto in 2013 or more likely 2014...

Quick logistical question: I know you can buy camping supplies onsite, but how extensive is the selection? I have a bad back and would...

It's a foodie block party with some music as well.

So with Jack White playing the Shrine for GV (as Bon Iver and Arcade Fire did in previous years the fall before their recent Coachella slots) I think the only question at this point is headliner or...

Bastards at Holiday Inn Express Palm Desert are requiring a Thursday-Monday stay next year. Screw that.

I emailed the Holiday Inn Palm Desert where I've set up camp the last two years and they plan to start taking reservations next week. Pretty sure that's code for 'no more super cheap rates by booking...

The Stone Roses.

Much like with Pulp this past year I suspect it will be the only way they play US shows.

The Florence posters are still available, you just have to go to the worldwide store.

I could see Mumford as an option for Friday 2013 paired with an EDM act. In fact, they might end up being the "obvious" headliner.

Based on response for Florence + the Machine got, I'd be shocked...

Not to be totally ageist, but a lot of older acts (the Stones, etc.) seem to use them.

HM: First Aid Kit, Santigold, honeyhoney, Refused, Bon Iver

Went to see First Aid Kit at Slim's last night, my first Bay Area show since relocating from LA. Fantastic show, including killer Fever Ray and Patti Smith covers.

Really liked Slim's; vibe there...

Warpaint went on a tad after 11, played about an hour.

Love those ladies.

Even if they never said it, the set list for Night 2 of the Bridge School Benefit was sort of an adios to The Suburbs.

They played Half Light II, a slowed down (and I mean way slowed down) version...

Just got an email from the Largo that Jenny Lewis' run of Cali solo shows plus her Bridge School Benefit appearance have been canceled because of a family emergency.

Got my ticket for Sunday. Had a fantastic time last year and have to see AF one more time on this tour.

After selling out the Largo in about nine seconds, Jenny Lewis added a show at McCabe's Guitar Shop in Santa Monica on Sunday, Oct. 16.

You can't get tix anymore through McCabe's website but have...

Goldenvoice certainly pulled in at least 65,000 for LA Rising. I'm always at the Coliseum for work, covering USC games and practices, and you get a good knack for guesstimating attendance after a...

I'm in, GA and shuttle pass.

I emailed GV this morning and they said VIP will have the same privileges as this past year, so no special viewing areas.

Prediction: Foo Fighters w/ half hour set between Rise Against (who play for 50 minutes from 8:10 to 9 p.m.) and Linkin Park.

Foos are playing the MTV Movie Awards on Sunday, so the timing...

New ticketing plan seems like the announcement. A fourth day would be cool, but seems untenable. Look at the complaining about headliners already, then imagine trying to find another one.

City With No Children and I guess Suburbs cont. if you want to be technical were the other two.

New Explosions in the Sky tour dates

Sounds like QOTSA is done playing their debut record in full and will be doing regular sets this summer, including the stop in Pomona at the Fox.

Here's what Josh says in NME...

Take it for what it's worth, but CoS/Festival Outlook has DFA rumored for FYF Fest.

There is a Radisson right across from USC and a short 5-minute walk to the Coliseum. There are also several nicer options (Marriott, Four Seasons, etc.) around Staples Center/LA Live, but you'll need...

Fantastic idea. Brian has hinted at some live shows and Coachella would be the perfect venue to bring everyone to perform the album.

Of course, Jack could be involved in yet another new project by...

Section 22, Row 15; also pulled through LN app.

Quick primer if you plan on buying seats for the show, the lower bowl of the Coliseum is rows 1 through 43.

Floor will be GA; reserved seating everywhere else.

It's a $1 donation to Partners in Health for every ticket sold to an AF headline show, so more than $1 million raised between Neon Bible and Suburbs tours.
