Truth in advertising catches on for 2017's classic rock tours

Devoted fans of Beyonce who bought tickets to see her perform at this year’s Coachella expressed disappointment when she was replaced with Lady Gaga. So you can imagine the letdown when baby boomer fans lined up a few summers ago to see Creedence Clearwater Revisited only to hear the favorite songs of their youth sung by Doug Clifford. A petition has been gaining signatures this year, just before the big summer tour rollouts, to force promoters to say, honestly, who you’re laying down $125 to see perform from the back fence of the venue.

Pachinko has the tentative lineup, which will help manage expectations even though that bag of weed you bought at the local green cross will smooth out the rough spots somewhat. But, hey--who's there for the music anymore, anyway? Rave up! Party on! And Don’t Ask!
