Varsity Theater tickets

Varsity Theater tickets have just went on sale for a few popular shows that will be taking place at the Varsity Theater.

First off, is the super annoying Sara Bareilles. In case her name does not sound familiar let me refresh you memory "I'm gonna write you a love song, because you need it, because you asked for it, I'm gonna right you a love song and annoy the living daylights out of you!" Sara is doing an exclusive show for KS95 and you can only get Varsity Theater tickets for this show through the radio station. I believe Rob Thomas headlined this show last year. The show is this Wednesday - so you better look fast for Varsity Theater tickets.

Also announced was the Upright Citizens Brigade on November 5th. Now, I am not sure what this live show is going to include - I would assume maybe some stand up comedy? Varsity Theater tickets are on sale now for the Upright Citizens Brigade.

Also just announced:
9/12 - Mark Olson
10/25 - Matt Costa

Mark Olson tickets

Did you miss the Jayhawks three night stint at the First Avenue mainroom last weekend? If so, no need to fear, you have another chance to hear some of those jams on September 12th at the Varsity Theater when Jayhawks singer/guitarist Mark Olson performs his. The show is is solo, the rest of the Jayhawks will not be performing. This show will be a hot ticket, even in the wake of three headlining Jayhawks shows.

The Jayhawks, all founding members included, were present for last weekend's reunion shows at First Avenue. Each show was praised for its set list and live performance. Local acts like Romantica and The Strange Lights.

Varsity Theater tickets go on sale this Friday for the Mark Olson show. Expect Varsity Theater tickets to sell fast for this event - last time Gary Louris had a show at the Varsity Theater tickets sold so fast Gary Louris had to add another show.

So, if you are a die hard Jayhawks fan this is a pre-fall show you do not want to miss!

Varsity Theater tickets

Long time no see - but the Twins keep this music girl busy, busy these days!
Since I have last reported, there have been two major announcements as far as shows at the Varsity are concerned. Two of my favorite bands are coming to town: Heartless Bastards and Autolux.

The Heartless Bastards were in town during the winter opening for Wolfmother, however, I had to miss that one due to a steep ticket price and holiday funds. Wolfmother was at the State Theater, so I am much happier that I get to see them at the Varsity - where they belong! Varsity Theater tickets are on sale now for their Tuesday, July 27th show.

And as for Autolux I last saw them at the 7th Street Entry. The Varsity is quite a jump for them, I am hoping Autolux has a new album out that they can focus in on some new fans. Autolux is amazing, they have such a unique sound that should be enjoyed by all. Autolux will be in town on August 18th, Varsity Theater tickets went on sale last weekend for the show. Autolux will be touring in support of their new album (the first in many many years)Transit Transit

I can't wait to see these guys! See you at the shows!
