Street Scene Announces that The Killers will Headline
()
Although they always have pretty good lineups, San Diego's Street Scene never seems to get our attention. Until now.
Today they announced that The Killers, Muse, Panic! at the Disco, Social Distortion, Air, Arctic Monkeys, Too $hort, G. Love, The Editors, The Academy Is..., Clap Your Hands And Say Yeah, Gym Class Heroes, Mute Math, Honeycut, Ozomatli and others will play their two day festival down by the ocean in Del Mar, but what got us was something that we'd never seen before - those fuckers are selling tickets to watch from the stage!
For the low low price of $1,150 a ticket, you can be the proud owner of the Street Scene 2007 VIP Platinum Package which gets you:
Support for LAist comes from
- Two Day Admission to Street Scene
- Exclusive VIP Entrance
- Preferred Parking
- Exclusive admission to the VIP Paddock Lounge (a relaxing respite located at the pulse of Street Scene, where you will find: 1. Numerous food and beverage opportunities, 2. Exclusive bathroom facilities, 3. Video feed from your favorite stages, 4. Party atmosphere with live DJ )
- Exclusive access to two intimate post show performances featuring acts from Street Scene at either House of Blues or 4th and B
- Private access to Rooftop Terrace (overlooking two stages and the Pacific Ocean, the Rooftop Terrace is THE place to be at Street Scene for relaxing before, during and after acts perform. Complimentary Food and Beverage included.)
- Exclusive ON STAGE ACCESS to view all of your favorite bands.
Figuring out how to jack up tickets that go for $120 to almost ten times that amount, now that's how to stay classy, San Diego.
As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.
Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.
Thank you for your generous support and believing in independent news.
