+ KELLY FUCKING CLARKSON \m/
if AFI plays old stuff before sing the sorrow, then they’re well well worth it too. If not, might as well go get food.
but go for the pumpkins.
It is a ‘concert that spans 7 continents.’ Yet Antartica is suspiciously absent from the lineups revealed.
Who is going to play Antartica?!
Hopefully GWAR will play the Antartica show
In the spirit of bi-partisan propaganda, the White House has announced the Flat Earth concerts. Ted Nugent is involved. All proceeds will go to Exxon. Details to follow.
^^^^ ahahahahahahahahhahahahahahha. Excellent.
Sammy Hagar could play to.
It’ll be funny in a decade or so when people look back at this and think “Wow, look how many people got suckered into believing there was some kind of crisis.”
“Who is going to play Antartica?!”
Immortal
I ain’t paying over 100 bucks to sit through crap just so I could see Pumpkins, Police and Roger Waters.
Well, you’re obviously gay.
