Ticket Ticker

Back in its fifth year with a crazy fresh batch of artists hitting the stage for Linkin Park's 'Projekt Revolution' tour. The tour is headlined with, of course, Linkin Park and Chris Cornell, The Bravery and Ashes Divide on the main stage. Performing on the littler "Revolution" stage are Atreyu, 10 Years, Hawthorne Heights, Armor for Sleep and Street Drum Corps. The doors open at 12:30 p.m., and even if you saw Linkin Park last year on their Projekt Revolution tour, the nu-metal heroes are promising a few new surprises for their 2008 trek, including a chance to buy a “digital souvenir package” featuring MP3s recorded at tonight’s show.

The Dresdon Dolls are to the music world as Casa Bonita is to Colorado. A huge deal in other words. Instead of sticking to mainstream rock, The Dolls took to the style of punk cabaret. One that won many fans over since hitting it big a couple years ago. They are not only fantastic musicians, but performers. Every Dresdon show you go to, you know it will always be different. And for a little news on the group, Amanda Palmer is going to release a solo album, "Who Killed Amanda Palmer," which is produced by Ben Folds. You better bookmark this night and get your tickets before it sells out.

Even though superstar, Feist, was uber thankful to win five Junos, this Indie artist said the best day of her life was when she was on Sesame Street. She did the "1 2 3 4" with the Muppets. That is really exciting. What is even more exciting is the fact that she is coming to the Fillmore this summer. You better act fast and get your tickets now before it is too l late.

George Thorogood "Bad To The Bone": "On the day I was born, the nurses all gathered 'round. And they gazed in wide wonder at the joy they had found. The head nurse spoke up said 'leave this one alone'. She could tell right away that I was bad to the bone. Bad to the bone. B-b-b-bad. B-b-b-bad." Go search through your parents CD collection. We guarantee you that George Thorogood is in the mix somewhere. But in all reality, no matter how old you are, you have rocked out to George before. He is not just bad to the bone, he is bad ass. Rock on party people.
