[faxman75]

I will be attending this. Both shows hopefully.

Artists: Los Angeles Philharmonic Rodrigo y Gabriela Mujeres de Agua featuring Javier Limón and Buika Conductor to be announced

In a celebration of the passion and rhythm of the guitar, this extraordinary concert brings the orchestra together with the illustrious Mexican duo Rodrigo y Gabriela, who have been selling out venues around the world, and the blistering Spanish sounds of Buika and Javier Limón.

[shakermaker113]

so are R&G playing WITH the orchestra? or are they just both on the same billing? I wish they would make it more clear.

[faxman75]

this extraordinary concert brings the orchestra together with the illustrious Mexican duo Rodrigo y Gabriela

It does say with so i'm assuming so.

I can't figure out when tickets go on sale or how to buy them. I called and apparently tickets don't go on sale until May...

[sin213]

yeah....i've been trying to figure out how to get tix to rod y gab as well.

their site sux with giving pertinent info. i don't know how many times i went round in circles trying to find a ticket on sale date/link...tried to subscribe to the series to get more info, etc...nothin.

i definitely want to see at least one of those shows though. that sounds like it'll be a crazy good time!

[GeezrRckr]

yawn....except for CM. seriously...without knowing what pieces the LA Phil are going to play, lame.

[shakermaker113]

from rod & gab's site:

"This summer will see Rodrigo Y Gabriela continue to expand the possibilities of their metal, acoustic guitar wizardry as they join the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra in what is sure to be an unforgettable night of music. In a celebration of the passion and rhythm of the guitar, this
extraordinary concert brings the orchestra together with Rodrigo y Gabriela in the illustrious setting of the magnificent Hollywood Bowl. Joining Rod and gab for the two concerts will be the blistering Spanish sounds of Buika and Javier Limón."

is it just me or are they dancing around the subject?? "joining" them and "bringing the orchestra together with" do not sound definitive to me.

[faxman75]

Buika and Javier Limon sound like the openers with Rodrigo y Gabriela and the L.A. Philharmonic are the headliners. I figure this will be an evening of collaboration.

I plan on going to both shows.

[PJandBompton]

Arcade Fire is September 11? fuck yeah!

[ThomThom]

What the fuck are you talking about PJ?

[ThomThom]

Unless the Bowl is lying to everybody I don't see how the 9/11 date means Arcade Fire or Portishead or whatever the fuck else anybody has been assuming...

"In a night featuring American bands, we celebrate our spirit and resolve under the stars of the summer sky. Guests to be announced."

[Mammoth85]

I'll be there for the Fantasia performance.

[faxman75]

"In a night featuring American bands, we celebrate our spirit and resolve under the stars of the summer sky. Guests to be announced."

FUCK YEAH, ARCADE FIRE AND PORTISHEAD! Those are my two favorite American bands!
