With who will Imposters U.S.A. double bill this summer?

Post by bronxapostle »

My guess for the 2020 summer amphitheatre double bill six months ago was PRETENDERS! but they're on the road with (UGH!)...JOURNEY. :shock: CHEAP TRICK could have been a sweet pairing, but they're paired with ROD STEWART. And with SQUEEZE and with NICK LOWE have already been done. STEELY DAN too and NO THANKS anyway on that. RYAN ADAMS, a bit too messy. HALL AND OATES, a definite maybe, though kinda an odd pairing.... which ain't a bad thing. 8) THE BONGOS, too small. NICK CAVE, too big. Which brings me to a stellar idea.....the Modfather himself, PAUL WELLER. but, this would need to be a true co-headline thing with full sets by each! Only Paul's last 43 years output rivals Elvis.... AND PLEASE A COUPLE SONGS TOGETHER NIGHTLY!!! Let me hear your pick...ba

Only a short tour with The Specials followed by a massive U,K, tour with just Steve playing A Face In The Crowd songs and some new Bacharach songs for the musical that hasn't hit the stage yet ! :wink:

i'm w. sulky, too. reason is that the touring seems -- to someone nowhere near any venues -- stuck a bit, and i'd love to see him do a real, risky, exploratory venture of some sort, stretch out, etc. basically, tear into something a bit, raise a welt instead of tours of what seems, from a distance, simply more the same...

Of course....me too jardine. That's what the AUTUMN USA tours will be about henceforth. :D But, the summer is the opportunity for E and the boys getting their ducks in a row for future expenses. Kinda EXACTLY like little old me working summer school, SO I GET PAID TWICE IN JULY AND AUGUST. even though my old bones and brain would do better refueling after my forty years at it for the upcoming school year. No harm, no foul with these times of package concert deals. Noone forcing our attendance. Just a good night out if one is so inclined and allow me to please reilterate. The Blondie and EC pairing of last summer REALLY was quite effective at returning each to their wheelhouse of songs, style and showmanship! :(

No, not yet. But tis the season. Most especially after the announcement coming this week of their appearing at the festival in April down New Orleans way. We can hope, yes?
