Weezer, Kings of Leon and Rancid will all roast weenies for KROQMaybe they'll call it the Weezer Roast? Or just a Rancid Picnic? Weezer, Kings of Leon, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Jimmy Eat World, Rancid and Silversun Pickups are among the headliners for the KROQ-FM (106.7) Weenie Roast Y Fiesta at Verizon Wireless Amphitheater on May 16. Tickets go on sale at 5 p.m. Thursday (May 7). The other announced acts on the bill: Cage the Elephant, Asher Roth, Anberlin, Hollywood Undead, White Lies, the Airborne Toxic Event, Big B. The Weenie Roast began in 1993 with a show featuring Stone Temple Pilots, Dramarama, X, The The and Terence Trent D'Arby, believe it or not. Last year, Metallica, the Racontuers and the Offspring led the bill, one again reinforcing the show's Mad Libs approach to live-music booking. The concert is a fundraiser for a number of charities, including Heal the Bay, the Surfrider Foundation and the AIDS Services Foundation Orange County. latimesblogs.latimes.com/music_blog/2009/05/weezer-kings-of-leon-and-rancid-will-all-roast-weenies-for-kroq.html

When I saw it was at Verizon Wireless Amphitheater, I thought they meant the one in San Antonio and I nearly had a happy fit.
Hrmph.

Heard the news on KROQ this morning and got my presale tix e-mail too, but am out of town that weekend...NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! And it's at a venue just down the street from where I work too.

No matter, I'm in the mosh pit when they come to LA in August, so thank goodness I have that to look forward to :-)

I just don't like the LA area. Had a bad experience with some celebs at an Arctic Monkeys gig.

The Weenie Roast actually takes place in the City of Irvine which is located in Orange County...about 45 minutes south of LA and is in a very nice area right off of the freeway :-)

I've been to more shows there than any other venue in southern California, doesn't hurt that I live 15 minutes away from it. I'm hoping to get some decent tix but I'm gonna miss out on the presale, I work at that time and have no internet access whatsoever at work  |

I'm seeing them at Staples Center, but would much rather see them here in Irvine. Maybe they'll headline a gig there all by their lonesome sometime in the future. A girl can dream, right Oh well, I have Coldplay to look forward to at Verizon in July. Good luck getting tix!! |

I've been asking they guys to play OC for years now, through myspace and hinting on here. Maybe if they have a good show on the 16th they'll want to come back and headline a show here. Is there any way that you can pm me the presale password? Please!! I'm a street team member but I haven't recieved the email yet. I was actually able to get the time off of work tomorrow, so I'll be able to get in on the presale. It would be much appreciated, I'll give you more karma When are they playing Staples Center? |
