New Shows: Lupe Fiasco, Florence + The Machine/The Walkmen, Mark Lanegan Band, X, Thrice, Suckers, Stone In Love

Lupe Fiasco

Ego check for one of the largest egos in the game. Dude was Lupe enough to think he could fill the Memorial Coliseum (9,000+ capacity), and ended up cancelling due to low ticket sales. Now he's playing the Schnitz (2.800 capacity), and those who purchased tickets to the cancelled event get their own private presale. This means less than 2,800 people purchased tickets to his arena show, and the tickets to the new show are much cheaper. What a Fiasco.

Suckers

I probably like this band more than most. Their recent album Wild Smile was number 42 on my top 50 albums of 2010. Read the review here.
