Taking a cue from Linkin Park’s Projekt Revolution tour (Where LP teamed up with Jay-z in concert), Fall Out Boy and 50 Cent will be joining up at the Merriweather Post Pavilion on the 25th of April.

While we are stuck in the middle of winter with snow and ice storms (and the President mocking our laughable ability to deal with winter weather), there is light at the end of tunnel. I revel in watching music outdoors and The Merriweather Post Pavillion has just announced its first show of the year. If you’re a fan of pop-punk, mark your calendars for April 25th when Fall Out Boy, Cobra Starship, All Time Low and Hey Monday will help open-up Merriweather for the season. The gates open at 5:00pm, so arrive early and tailgate (does MPP allow tailgating?). Tickets go onsale January 31st at 10am. (more…)
