I did check with Mike about this event and it wasn't confirmed as last week, you should wait to see it appear on uwlive before booking flight/ordering.

And, it's a KCRW-sponsored event which means a sensible NPR crowd who like NIIIIICE progressive music with the crusty bits cut off. Don't expect it to be 1996 with young hardcore kids banging their heads into the bassbins.

Still, the Hollywood Bowl is a place you play and say "I played the Hollywood Bowl - just like the Beatles and the Doors!" It carries a bit of music history weight to it.

the venue last time was tops.
wiltern?

Jason Bentley (I think) confirmed it on KCRW within the past couple of days...

I agree with what Scott said, hence why I didn't buy tickets yet because they start off in the super seats which is pretty much the halfway point of the Bowl. I'm gonna have to buy some tickets off a season ticket holder or go the broker route. I'd much prefer to be as close as possible.

Sure looks confirmed now. Up until yesterday this only listed Paul O. and Rizzo.

hello Dirts! I've been away for a while and only lurking since the format change at dirty.org. Still, I can't keep my composure with all this new UW info coming out about album releases, tour dates, etc.

I must say I'm reluctant to get excited about the potential Hollywood bowl gig. Just looking at some numbers....

The last time UW swept through San Francisco, they were billed with 4 other acts (including Dirty Vegas) and had to change from a 7000 person venue (Bill Graham Auditorium) to 1250 capacity Fillmore because of a lack of ticket sales. The Hollywood Bowl seats 18,000.

I want our boys to succeed as much as any of you, and I hope that they can pack that place out. Obviously there a lot of reasons why a show goes off well and why it doesn't - from promoters to marketing to natural disasters - but I think it might be a bit steep to believe this show could work well at that venue.

Perhaps KCRW is trying to lock down the performers with a thought to change venues later when they can better gauge ticket sales. I hope so because that means I'll still get to see UW!!

Sorry for the long post - I've missed you guys!

i was thinking of going from the uk and was sort of thinking it would be a good fun to see underworld out doors at THE hollywood bowl and though not really expecting it to be back to the 90s but expecting their usual great performance.i was hoping it would be busy though,any thoughts? its a big commitment on the wallet and i'd hate it if they changed the venue to some old theatre where you can't smoke.
