Phoenix show -- September 20th?

[srcuello]

Heard about this on the radio today.  I just got excited.  From the 98 KUPD Web site:

END OF SUMMER SCORCHER
The Big Red Radio Presents the "End Of Summer Scorcher", Saturday, September 20th at the Peoria Sports Complex. An all day music festical featuring 2 stages with Alice In Chains, DEFTONES, 5 Finger Death Punch, Theory Of A Deadman and more. TICKET ON-SALE THIS SATURDAY AT 11AM AT ALL VALLEY CLUB TATTOO LOCATIONS FOR ONLY $37.

It says lineup is subject to change, but I want to believe so bad ...

Maybe they'll be debuting some new stuff?

Discuss.

[goldpony]

sounds cool, but i wouldn't pay festival prices just to see deftones, since it looks like they'll be the only band worth seeing. if anyone goes let us know if they play any new stuff and how it is

[buddyboy101]

that line-up is revolting

[tarkil]

I'd do you from behind too...

[E-Money]

I live in AZ. I will be there if its going down.

[Zevaka]

so, is it start of a new tour or just a random show?

That's what I can't figure out.  Maybe a small club tour before the holidays to whet their fans' appetites?  Didn't they do something like that in 2004 to get in the mood to record after Deftones? 

And I can't figure out if they'll play new songs.  It's a festival thingy, so they'd be inclined to dumb down the setlist to all their singles and stuff.  Or maybe they'd seize the day and blow off the fatties in wifebeaters and humor the hardcore fans that are going to pony up too much money just to see them. 

So confused ...

[Hidalgo]

that would be awesome if they played a new song, but they might not just based on the fact that they wouldnt want it to be heard so early before the album comes out. however.... that didnt stop them with beware & rapture, they played those 8 months before SNW came out. who knows

[wither-I]

that line-up is revolting

especially 5 finger death punch, those guys are super-fags. the singer wore his own band's shirt (five-finger death punch) when they performed in new orleans. so chookey

[def_linus]

come to north carolina for once!

[Inkblades]

They'll do one new song, at least.

[def_linus]

someone there has to bootleg it

Generally the radio festivals aren't that expensive. I'm from AZ and I can guarentee I will be there. The last few festivals (warped and mayhem) I had VIP passes so I'll try and get some for this as well. See If I can get some video or pics from backstage. I got some sweet Mastodon pics from the stage at Mayhem so wish me luck.

However, of the 20-plus times I have seen deftones.. their worst shows occured at Festivals.. Namely the KROQ Weenie Roast in 03.

*edit - I just looked.. 42 Dollars? Forget what I said about not expensive.

[E-Money]

42 bucks wont stop me from going.  this better fucking be legit.

[srcuello]

It's 37 balboas this weekend only at all Club Tattoo locations.  Hopefully my personal day request goes through.

Abe Says...
Hey all, we're almost finished tracking our record up here at The Spot and we'll head up to Terry's studio in Seattle next month to add the final touches and begin mixing. We're all excited about how this record is taking shape, and can't wait to share it with all of you! In the meantime, we want to let our friends in the Phoenix area know that we'll be headlining KUPD's End of Summer Scorcher Sept 20th in Peoria, AZ with our good friends Alice In Chains. Tickets go on sale this Saturday, AUG 2nd at all local AZ Club Tattoo locations. They'll also be available online beginning Monday, AUG 4th via Tickets.com. Check it out at KUPD.com.

Aww Shit.

[tarkil]

Damn it.... That better be bootlegged indeed, I'm pretty sure they'll try out some new songs....

[Inkblades]

I don't want to hear any new songs performed live. I damn near wrecked SNW for myself listening to live versions of Beware and Rapture.
