If you're thinking, "If I hear 'Pumped Up Kicks' one more time, I'm gonna pull a gun on someone and make them outrun my bullets," then you should definitely not read on. The band responsible for the song, Foster The People, has strategically planned to start selling tickets to its tour just before "Pumped Up Kicks" backlash reaches full force. Genius.
"Sweet, that 'Pumped Up Kicks' band is coming to Verizon Theatre and tickets only cost about $50!" But, come June 4, the day of the show, you're gonna be like, "Dang, remember that dumb song from last year?"
Tickets for the show will go on sale at AEG's new ticket site AXS.com, which will serve Verizon Theatre and the Palladium Ballroom, on Friday.
In other show announcements news, Tyler family band Eisley, who've long been considered a Dallas band, will be back at the Granada Theater on Sunday, April 1. The band has just announced a new EP will be released sometime in 2012.
Tickets for the event will be available at the Granada's ticket website. Hit the jump for more show announcements, including Erykah Badu & The Cannabinoids, of Montreal, Boyz II Men, Gomez and more.
