tix on sale now. get 'em while you can

Praise Jah! 

Glad he's performing.  Go see a living music legend, you will not regret it.  Hell, im still glowing from the 2010 Santa Rosa, CA show i caught thanks to conert alert via the old Philzone.

Can we sponsor/send a Zoner to show for livestream to rest of us?  Who's PDX or SEA based? 

That dude is still around?    Saw him 23 years ago at a reggae fest in Vermont and he looked older than dirt then.  

in for SD

funny ken, i have found spear to be one of the most in-shape/healthy artists of his age. 

$88 balcony, $112 floor.  Hard pass.

$65 for 1st section here.

that is steep java, but you can still see all the other reggae greats like jimmy cliff, and.......?

there are tix under 60 w/fees avail for the moore. 44 bucks flat gets you in at roseland. to each their own and all that.

Where are those seats available online, Fenster?  I'll check at the box office tonight and see if they are any less exorbitant.

ticketmaster. it's the second balcony. can't seem to leave links here. never did get the hang of the formatting here. sorry.

I thought they retired years ago!

fenster, just copy the URL and paste it into this message window as though you were typing. 

Just pulled 4 front row center 1st Balcony at the Moore for $56.50 at the box office.  Can't believe they wanted north of $80 a pop online for those seats.  

Very glad to be getting the chance to see Spear again.  Thanks for the heads up, Woodcutter!

no prob. glad it worked out for you. just figured i'd give a heads up since there's been little to no promotion about these shows. i thought the released US dates were complete but it seems he might be booking some more shows in the gaps. have a feeling one or two may pop up between the denver and boston dates. maybe mnnpls or somewhere like that. i'm just thankful to get another chance to catch him.

Burning Spear to Return to New York for First Time Since 2010 at SummerStage
Jamaican roots reggae singer-songwriter, vocalist, musician and icon Burning Spear will return to New York City for the first time since 2010 with a performance at SummerStage in New York’s beautiful Central Park on Thursday, Aug. 25.

The return to the city–presented by Sony Hall and Dayglo–is part of Burning Spear’s The Fan Appreciation Tour which will see the Grammy Award-winning artist return to the stage for the first time since July 17, 2016, when he performed at Artscape 2016.

Burning Spear spent decades touring extensively, and has several live albums including Burning Spear Live, Live in Paris, Live in South Africa, Live in Vermont, Peace and Love Live, Live at Montreux Jazz Festival and (A)live 1997 but will only make 10-stops as he relights his touring spark before reaching New York. He’ll kick off his tour at The Masonic in San Francisco on July 22 and make stops at cities including Denver, Boston, Philadelphia, Seattle, San Deigo and London before he brings his deeply influential sound to SummerStage.

Pre-sale tickets will go live today, Tuesday, May 24 at noon with the code RELIX. General on-sale will go live on Thursday, May 26 at noon. Get your tickets to what is sure to be a historic show here.
