Keep Westword Free
We’re aiming to raise $20,000 by April 26. Your support ensures Westword can continue watching out for you and our community. No paywall. Always accessible. Daily online and weekly in print.
As it happens, we don’t have a spare $700 or so laying around. Boy, if we did, though, you wouldn’t really have to be the betting type to wager where we’d be on Friday, October 1 through Sunday, October 3. No contest: Matador at 21 in Las Vegas.
Have you seen the lineup for this thing? Holy crapola! It’s a wet dream of indie rock lovers from the past two decades: Pavement, Sonic Youth, Belle & Sebastian, Guided By Voices (classic ’93-’96 lineup), Superchunk, Spoon, Yo La Tengo, Cat Power, the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, New Pornographers, Ted Leo & the Phramacists and Fucked Up, among others. Oh, and did we mention, it’s Vegas, baby! Vegas!
For a limited time, tickets, which go on sale this Friday, are only being sold as three-day passes for $199.00 (price jumps to $225 when the limited quantity sells out) with hotel rooms at the Palms resort in tandem for $99 per night (if you purchase directly through Matador). Better act quickly: The venue, Pearl at the Palms, only holds 2100 people. [Matador at 21 via Cause=Time]
