Independent Journalism in Dallas Needs You
We need to raise $12,500 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
We’re bringing Ludacris to this year’s St. Patrick’s Day proceedings. Now, Ludacris is one of those people whose personality has loomed so large as to occasionally obscure his actual music, so by way of reminding you what it actually means to go to a Ludacris show, allow us to list the first four songs he played at his last full concert: “Number One Spot,” “Act a Fool,” “Southern Hospitality” and “Area Codes.” Enjoy having that stuck in your head for the rest of the day.
Presale tickets go on sale today at 10 a.m. via Ticketfly. They’re $15 today and $20 later, and last year’s installment sold out. In order to get the code, you had to sign up for the Observer music newsletter, which you can still do here if you like.
BUT! That letter has already gone out. There is another way, however. I have another presale code you can use right now — it’s Ludacris’ DJ name when he got his start in Atlanta, all capital letters, no spaces.
And here are the details, in case you’re the planning type:
