Update: Them Crooked Vultures (Homme + Jones + Grohl) playing Lollapalooza aftershow
Update: Billboard.com has confirmed that Them Crooked Vultures will indeed be performing an aftershow on Sunday night. Still no official comment from C3 Presents, the organizer behind the festival.
So, last month, we told you about a nifty little rumor concerning a recently formed supergroup featuring the Foo Fighters’ Dave Grohl, Queens of the Stone Age’s Josh Homme, and Led Zeppelin’s John Paul Jones. They called themselves Them Crooked Vultures and have reportedly been working on a studio album for three years now.
Turns out that nifty little rumor is quickly become an unbelievably awesome reality. At least that’s if you put any stock in a last minute Lollapalooza aftershow announced today that lists three symbols on the bill… three symbols which look quite identical to those of Foo Fighters, Led Zeppelin (more specifically, Jones’ symbol), and Queen of the Stone Age’s logos.
The show is scheduled to take place Sunday night, August 9th at the Metro. Tickets go on sale Thursday, August 6th at 10:00 am CST (internet only) via etix.com.
We’re still trying to confirm the aftershow really is definitely featuring The Crooked Vultures. When we do, we’ll let you know.
My lucky partner scored two tickets, couldn’t wait to see them, couldn’t wait until it was over. Not sure what the fuss is.
Dave Grohl is amazing drummer. JPJ a legend who enjoyed playing some songs.
Josh Homme, spent most of his time watching himself play guitar and forgot the 1107 people where there. I bit of pompous prick.
Metro security was so tight which resulted in poor videos on you tube. Take what you can get until 10/23.
Who needs a guest to attend??
Miss S
I got lucky and scored 2.
tickets were $50 plus fees. gone in about 2 minutes… i didn’t have any luck, did anyone else get them?
Unfuckingreal!
Effing A. I my record some of this show.
Anybody know how much these are going to be? Or did I totally miss that somewhere?
so ridiculously excited. if everyone could hold off buying tickets until my flight lands in Chicago this Thursday AM that would be great.
Nice thumbnail. DAWN OF THE DEAD!
Oh, and I GUESS the news itself is PRETTY exciting…
if i can get tixx ill be there!!!
I am so sad I am not there, I saw JPJ, ?uestlove & Ben Harper superjam at Bonnaroo 07 and that was amazing, and I like dave and josh way better.
Yeah.. Someone needs to take a high quality audio recording device.. I don’t care about video. I just want great audio.
There’s gotta be something in the Bible about this happening. Oh, here it is, Revelations 3,16…
Fuck Lollapalooza for driving me away from my home with an awful lineup and then doing this.
i shit bricks
I CAME BUCKETS AND BUCKETS…OH GOD MORE….AAAAAAAAH!!!!!
seriously… holy &$^@#*!!! best line-up since fiscalmeniscus
holy &$^@#*!!!
I think I need a towel.
