Public Enemy

Is someone pulling my leg, or have I finally lost my mind? Is it actually true that they're coming?😲 😲

You didn't miss it, they're coming on October 6th.

It’s a shame they’re playing the same night as the Meteors, but I’m still going to show up for the brothers...

By the way, should I pick up the "Apocalypse '91" CD while I'm at it?🙂

Back when everyone else was obsessing over rap, I was the sole holdout—mostly just out of pure spite—though I had to make an exception for Public Enemy. They were absolute legends in my eyes...🙂

It’s posted on the Tvornica website too. Right on the same day as the Meteors—just my luck. 😠

Man, I am totally gonna be there

I swear they're pulling that same old trick again—hiking up the ticket price just because the concert is getting closer. 🙄

So, does anyone know if the pricing structure has been finalized yet? Come on, spill it!

I caught a glimpse of it from a distance while riding the bus, so I can't say for certain, but it looked like $60 maybe 200 or something back in the day—though I'm not 100% sure since I couldn't get a good look at the poster.

Seriously 😲 I didn't drop that much cash to listen to a band that's been sounding washed up since the Pixies days 😲

... and at least the Pixies actually sang over properly recorded tracks, vocals included and everything else 🙄

Yeah, something like that... I'm thinking $190 until mid-September, then it bumps up to $220, and maybe $250 on the day of the show or something along those lines.

Being disappointed by a concert just isn't my style, but this one really let me down 🙄

Alright, I checked, and I can see clearly—like, seriously clearly—even from quite a distance while riding the subway 🙏 😁

It’s pricey though 😢

We’re all gonna end up at the Meteors eventually anyway...

Man, those ticket prices are absolutely insane lately... I mean, seriously, de la Soul was actually $37

because Flav needs cash for crack and weapons 👍

Support the scene 😁

Jay-Z is hitting Washington, D.C. this Sunday and the ticket price is only $24. Who's actually going?

Kevin Chavez3 said:Maybe someone can dump more info about this whole "expanded lineup" rumor. Is it going to be a full live show or what?

Look, since I have some insight into how they organize things, 😬
They arrive 15 people, obviously not everyone hits the stage—you've got management, merch, the sound guy, the lighting tech, and of course, S1W 😁 No, the lineup is live.

They run two different live setups, usually just the MC and the DJ. This entire tour is a live experience.
P.E. LIVE PERSONNEL

1) Chuck D
2) Flavor Flav
3) Proff. Griff
4) Michael Williams (Bro. Mike) Road manager / S1W
5) Clifton Johnson (Management)
6) Lord Aswod (DJ Lord)
7) James Allen (James BOMB) S1W
8) John Oliver (POP DEASIL) S1W
9) Andrew Williams (The DREW) Sound TEC.
10) Khari Wynn (LEAD Guitar)
11) Michael Faulkner (Drummer)
12) Charles Hargrove (BASS)
13) Walter Leaphart (Management)
14) Malik Farrakhan
15) ? (probably merch staff)

That’s one reason for the ticket price. The second is the logistics of the tour itself:

Travel Schedule Sept. 28
Sept. 30 Paris, France
Oct. 1 New Castle, UK
Oct. 2 Glasgow, UK
Oct. 3 Edinburgh, UK
Oct. 4 Liverpool, UK
Oct. 5 Manchester, UK
Oct. 6 Los Angeles, USA
Oct. 7 Day Off Travel
Oct. 8 Sheffield, UK
Oct 9 Cambridgeshire, UK
Oct.10 Wolverhampton, UK
Oct. 11 Cork, Ireland
Oct. 12 Dublin, Ireland
Oct. 13 Tromsø, Norway

As you can see, Los Angeles isn't exactly a quick bus ride away, and flying 15 people isn't cheap.
Regarding the comparison to de la Soul, let's be realistic: de la Soul is a much smaller act than PE and significantly cheaper to book. 😁
