Hollywood Forever Cemetery is a beautiful landmark of Hollywood’s past, present and future. Founded in 1899, It is one of the oldest standing landmarks in Los Angeles. The final resting place of many of the early founders and artists that defined the city (including; Cecil B. DeMille, Douglas Fairbanks, Rudolph Valentino, Jayne Mansfield), it is also becoming a cultural center for the arts with the popular outdoor summer film series, the annual Dia de los Muertos festival and musical performances at Hollywood Forever’s Masonic Lodge.

HOLY SHIT

[moviebruin]

Im thinking its gonna be pretty sweet. who doesnt want to spend all night in a cemetery? just wish the performance was outside rather than in the lodge...

UPDATE: Tixs are already on sale now, get them while they're hot...

This would be really cool if it were an artist that I cared about. Still, kinda rad for the people who do go.

I would LOVE to go to this.

Tickets seem to already be on sale so i'm not sure about the noon on sale time, oh I see that was already pointed out as well.

[RotationSlimWang]

6 am? Who the fuck wants to do that?

[faxman75]

Shit, i'm getting drunk on 20/20 mad dog all night at the Ramones grave site, then i'm gonna stumble around with a flashlight looking at other graves and hopefully have some mimosas for breakfast around 6am.

^fax, that is one of the funniest posts I've read on this board in awhile. hahaha. love it! hope the show is magical for you folks down in LA. I'm pretty excited he added a show at the Fillmore (which I can walk to) versus having to trek to the East Bay to see him at the Fox.

No, I like to get drunk in graveyards. Fuck music. Juggalo 4lyf bitch. Fuck yo self.

[Blinken]

Is it sold out already? Or are they just stoping the ticket sales til noon?

[nationocean]

6 hours? what the hell are they going to do for 6 hours? it would be great to put on a midnight festival with bands playing throughout the cemetery until just after sunrise. I'd go to that!

[faxman75]

Is it sold out already? Or are they just stoping the ticket sales til noon?

Don't scare me like that. I just checked and i'm still pulling tickets. I am waiting on someone before I purchase though so hopefully they dont' sell out soon. Anyone know how many tickets they would sell to a cemetery gig?

[Blinken]

I was just getting a blank ticketweb page, but it works now. I got my ticket.

The venue itself holds 150...

The venue itself holds 150...

This takes place on the lawn correct? I read when they do movies you can bring alcohol, blankets and such, do you think that will be the same for the show?

I agree.

[faxman75]

I totally have a thing for seeing bands I like play in unique settings. I only wish I could have seen St. Vincent in a Church this year or Wilco at that Saratoga Winery. I have yet to see Bon Iver live and this is too good to pass up.

While your at it, you should drive in on Friday for the Bon Iver show at the Wiltern. This cemetery show is gonna be a thousand times more awesome though.
