Major Lazer had the crowd losing their minds yesterday. I got up in the middle of it to shoot some photos but eventually had to give up and just join the dance party that was happening. Definitely the biggest crowd I’ve seen at one of the tents this year. -amanda

Big 4 in New York

So last month, the entire country spazzed out (and for good reason) about the Big 4’s 1-time-only show in California. Thankfully, it’s developed into an additional affair! To refresh your memory, we’re talking Anthrax, Slayer, Megadeth and Metallica. Yeah. Get ready.

The recently announced show will be held at Yankee Stadium in New York on September 14th. There are pretty few seats left for face value so grab them up before they are gone. Who knows- maybe you’ll see one of us at the event, too! Rock on.

The Death Set will be having their record release party for their new album Michel Poiccard at the Music Hall of Williamsburg this Saturday 3/26! The line up features:

The Damned Things Debut

Do you recall the seemingly mismatched collab dubbed The Damned Things? Let’s refresh your memory!

A few months ago, before the Fall Out Boy hiatus even, we were introduced to The Damn Things- a project featuring members of Fall Out Boy, Every Time I Die and Anthrax. I know, I know. We all were confused, but word on the street says this band is totally legit…despite the fact that we haven’t heard anything from them. They could be the only band to grace the cover of Rock Sound without having a single track online. I digress…

The big news is The Damned Things have scheduled their first show!

The Damned Things w/ Static Summer
June 1st
The Knitting Factory
Brooklyn, NY


Tickets for this show are bound to go fast. And who knows. We may not even hear anything from them until this performance, so if you go, you could get the first taste. Be sure to let us know if you are going. We need to get the skinny on this show!

If you aren’t in the country, they are doing a few string of shows across Europe afterward:

Jun 4 @ Rock Am RING - Nurburgring (Tickets)
Jun 5 @ Rock Im PARK - Nuremberg (Tickets)
Jun 6 @ VK - Brussels (Tickets)
Jun 8 @ Melkweg - Amsterdam (Tickets)
Jun 10 @ Heaven - London (Tickets)
Jun 12 @ Copenhell - Copenhagen (Tickets)
Jun 13 @ Download Festival - Donnington (Tickets)

Rock!
