The Greek will be hosting some very impressive shows this year. First Sonic Youth announced that they will perform Daydream Nation at the venue up in Griffith Park, and then The Arcade Fire announced that they'll play on May 29th and 30th.
On Saturday at 10am tickets for both Arcade Fire gigs will go on sale. So set your alarm clocks.
The Arcade Fire are one of the most-welcome return attendees of Coachella in April, and the pair of shows at the Greek could possibly be the best outdoor show all summer. Now with two full albums and a wide variety of cover songs and miscellaneous originals, lucky ticket holders will be sure to get a wild show.
