Early Bird Block Party Special

Early Bird Block Party Special

The Capitol Hill Block Party announced a partial line up this week that includes Sonic Youth, Past Lives, The Termals, The Gossip, and many more. Even if the line up doesn't look amazing to you, buying tickets now isn't a bad idea. As I recall, The Saturday Knights and Devotchka (?) were both later additions last year, so it can only get better from here. Another reason to buy early is that the price will go up after May 31st according to ticketswest (it's already a tad more than last year).

Tickets officially go on sale Friday. It won't sell out any time soon, but if you want to feel special, go to ticketswest.com, and enter blockparty as the promotional code to get the pre-sale... Honestly, you may just want to buy them at the gates and avoid service fees.
