It's 80's revival time!

very odd, how long can this 80's throwback thing last?

flock of seagulls is listed before franz ferdinand?

This is part of a solo Siouxsie tour, i.e. no Severin.

get ready for a long, hot day!

interesting venue...largest ampitheatre in the country. should be fun.

What are the odds that this will be performed on 9/18???? Not like any of you would really know.But it's cool to speculate. My baby Jackie and myself are hoping for this though.

Oh God! I'm drooling, but I am on the East Coast, so this will not be for me. Lucky L.A.!

I went to last years Inland Invasion w/the Cure and after it took us 2 hours to get out of the parking lot I vowed NEVER to go to that god awful place again! (even though Moz is playing that is just too much torture and on top of all that, your are pretty much guaranteed lawn seats w/no chance in getting a good view of the stage)

to see Moz for the following reasons.

Venue:

1. In the middle of nowheres-ville
VERY hot
2. Last years Inland invasion, beer was $8.00
3. If you are on the lawn...you won't be able to see anything at all
4. If you have seats, good luck finding shade.
5. Traffic is horrible, only 2 ways in and out of the venue.

Concert:
1. Since it is an official KROQ event, what kind of fans do you think will be there?..... I rest my case!

2. Did I mention Beer was $8 last year!

california gets everything!! id kill to see 12 of those bands/performers.

no one should complain about how hot it is, at least californians get good shows like that. id be LUCKY if any of those 80s bands came to boston. dont complain, just go and have a good time.

Ever since Morrissey has been announced as the headliner for the Inland Invasion, KROQ has been playing more and more of FOTGTD!

Viva la 80's baby! And Franz, Muse and Killers too! Worthy enough, I think, to be considered lush.
Does anyone else think the promoters are cutting it a bit fine though? I thought big do's like this were usually given longer than a month and two days' notice!

I am but a poor student with very little money to spend on Moz. However I would like to go to this event.

Can someone break down the costs/expenses for the Inland Invasion?

I live in LA, so I would drive. I'd like to take my girlfriend. So, I need two tix and a parking pass. Is there food there? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This is gonna be an awesome concert. Who cares about the heat, think of the bands! This coming from someone who hates the heat. As for the lawn, it's still worth it, take the lawn if you can't get a seat. The lawn is where the partys at!

I am NOT a fan of large venues, but this line up is too much fun to miss!

Yes its hot, expensive, parking sucks, etc., etc.
For those who are complaining I have some advice. Don't go! You can sit at home and believe yourself to be too cool for such an event as I will be enjoying the sounds of some of the best bands of yesterday and today, all topped off with a performance by Morrissey!

This line up is worth sitting through Billy Idol in 100 degree heat any day. I, for one, am so very pleased. Last year was fun, but this year is going to be fantastic!

Is he still alive? Oh, how IŽd love to see him perform "White wedding" again... Please bring this unbelievable line-up to Germany!

Or did they mean Billy Joel? ;-)

I cant wait this is a great venue, but I'm only 15 and a huge fan and i hope my dad will take me, he is also a huge fan and of course i cant drive yet!!!!!

Anyone who said that The Cure were a nostalgia act and Morrissey isn't can look at this line up and eat a lot of crow.

Billy Idol? FLOCK OF SEAGULLS? with Morrissey?

If I were Morrissey I would be too ashamed to appear on the same bill as these inane bunch of one-hit 80s wonders!

Isn't this exactly the sort of thing Morrissey's current popularity should be enabling him to avoid? Retro nonsense. It's the beginning of the end, I fear.

Why not in the U.K., it's soooo far away

Devo
Billy Idol
Tears for Fears
Missing Persons
Flock of Seagulls
X
The Killers
Muse

thats a lota shite right there- washed up and or plain trash.

but...

Morrissey
Siouxsie
Ian Brown
Franz Ferdinand

would make it all worthwhile [think of the rest as opportunities to go grab a drink or four].

bloody CA gets Moz shows out their asses- it s the only reason id be jealous of them, but its a big one [especially if Moz doesnt makeit to tor. at all].

Does Siouxsie still think Moz is an asshole? What are the chances Moz and Siouxsie will sing 'Interlude' together? Although I doubt it will ever happen, I'll be having wet dreams from now until Sept. 18th hoping that they do!!

Does anyone think there is the slightest possibility that Ian Brown will do as Moz does and include any of the classics from his legendary previous band? Maybe just one? Is it hopeless to dream in such a manner?

Although, I will be going again for Morrissey & Souixsie, but this time I will NOT be early. Last year we arrived around noon & that was a mistake because the heat was hell. If you have seats, you're pretty much guaranteed your place (seat), until Morrissey starts of course. Then you can move your way down a few rows. The only reason to arrive early is if you have pit tickets & you want rail or want a decent spot on the lawn. And what everyone has been saying about lawn is true. We walked to the back of the lawn "seats" & you really could not see anything. The bands looked like ants! Wonder if this years show will sell out like last year... 60,000 is what I saw was capacity... that's just too many people.

all the people who hate the pavillion get a clue learn how to make the best of it. last year had a memorable time .16 cups of beer 10 a pop 22oz. i think was twisted by the time echo went on. one of the best shows ever next to coachella 04. plus moz headline such a big venue what better way to show some support for esteban thanto show up at a 60k + venue . imagine half of that singing along with moz. this would show the industry that didn't want anything to do with sir morrissey how wrong they were and what they missed out on. side note wish they had the stills , interpol , elefant on the bill maybe next year. hey kroq will marr be there and who's next years headliner d mode, coldplay, or u2?

FREE and Lots of Morrissey too..

It seems to me that in reading the festival's version of these events, they are insinuating that real stinker in this tale is Weitzman himself.

If I understood this right, the festival promoters are alleging that Weitzman used Morrissey's illness at the airport (panic attack or whatever) to shake them down for a few more euros for a Sunday show. If that is the case, that is one hell of an accusation towards a man who is hired to look over Morrissey's best interests.

Unfortunately, there have been one too many tales of pop artists being abused or ripped off by folks they hire to look over their interests, be it managers, accountants, and even housekeepers. That is what the festival's promoters may be counting on in convincing people to believe their side of the story.

I don't know what the truth is. I can only go by history. I believe Morrissey and the band had every intention to play at the festival and if Moz does suffer from these kinds of attacks, I would urge him to either seek help (medication and or therapy) or Weitzman should set Moz's schedule in such a way where they would have more control over mode of transportation, in other words avoid those little airplanes at all cost! Leave earlier in advance! Car, bus, van or bike it , if they must.

I hope Morrissey and the band make it up to their fans in Spain with some shows. Trouble truely loves him, and so do I.

I heard this on the news yesterday...

CalTrans (the highway road maintenance dept - for those not form California) will be closing 4 of the lanes on I-15 from Devore to I-215 starting Sept 13, for repair work for 6 weeks. This is so they can do "around the clock" road repairs. If they did their traditional, "at night" only repair work, the repairs would take 8 months instead of the predicted 6 weeks.

So this will make a bad traffic situation even worse.

Here's the full story from http://www.fox11la.com/home/

"Caltrans to test new freeway repair schedule on Interstate 15

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- CalTrans plans to repair Southern California's freeways under a test project that would reduce construction time but create gridlock.

Instead of the typical nighttime rebuilding schedule that closes one or two lanes, crews would work around the clock and shut down half the freeway.

Drivers would face traffic, but the repairs would be finished much faster.

CalTrans plans to test the idea next month on Interstate 15 near Devore. Eight lanes will be diverted onto four lanes for four days a week, for about six weeks. The project is expected to add more than 90 minutes to the average rush-hour commute.

Caltrans says the old system, where workers spread a fresh layer of asphalt on the top, is simply not enough.

The new construction job allows workers to rebuild crumbling pavements with a high-grade concrete that will last at least 30 years.

But if I can score tickets down front I will be going, bad traffic or not.
It took us 2 hours to exit the venue last year because of the traffic.

just found out that Im not going because my dad!!!! There is a fight on the same day of the concert with that Oscar guy so i will not be able to attend!!! I guess my dad is not as big as a fan as i thought :( The last concert i went to was the one at the Wiltern and everythtting went wrong. We waited in that line at Music Warehouse for like 3 hours and they sold out!!! So we bought some from some guy in a phonebook for $100 dollars each then my uncle said he would hold on to them for us and he accidently threw them away!!!! So we called the guy again fo more tickets but he was all out but he said there is a guy in the back that will let us in through the back door for $200 each(there was 4 or us) so we went and we didnt know where the back door was so we bought hem off a scalper for $100 each and then we were in, well i guess not everything went wrong, the concert was great and i sang at the top of my lungs and cried my heart out!!! But no one there was the same age as me ( i was 14) i felt ike people were looking at me and thought i was a poser. BUT I'M NOT!!!!! I'VE LISTENED TO HIM SINCE I WAS 3!!!! and the first song i could ever sing was ASK . and i have stayed faithful to him for practicaly my whole life. I am the farthset away from being a poser!!! Well um... thank you for listening to my tantrum.

            sorry for my lack of periods, this thing is full of run-on sentences
