Whoa, that's one big rock show!
As if the Empire Polo Grounds (where the Coachella and Stagecoach festivals are held) didn't already have enough tennis shoes trampling the grass, here come some more mega shows courtesy of Goldenvoice, the promoters. Imagine a show that features Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath (Ozzy), AC-DC (Australia's contribution to dirty stadium rock), Metallica (that SF band of Napster ruiners), Guns 'n' Roses (with that old ginger fresh off his appearance at Stagecoach). Why not the Rolling Stones to accompany these old men, oh, and newcomers Maynard's Tool and probably some little side stages to get everyone revved up. Looks like the Pandemic (Plandemic) is officially over after all -- and the replacement viruses (Monkey Pox, Swine Flu, Bird Flu, Government Flu, etc.) never caught on.
