Whaaat? Is Justin Timberlake coming to Garden City?

Put on your suit and tie, Garden City.

Is Justin Timberlake headed to the Revolution Center?

Based on somewhat confusing news breaking across the Internet about the Yahoo! on the Road Festival, it appears to be some sort of possibility. The tour will stop at the Revolution Center on May 28.

Timberlake, Frank Ocean, Jay-Z, The Lumineers and Kendrick Lamar are among acts being reported as part of the trek, which includes “32 performers, 10 comedians and one yodeler.”

It stands to reason that only a handful of the acts will be at each date. And it appears that Timberlake and Jay-Z are part of a final aspect of the tour in London. But whoever winds up being in Garden City, this will be a major event for the 2,200-capacity Revolution, which hosted a sold-out Tiesto concert on March 8 and welcomed almost 2,000 fans March 14 for a Flogging Molly blowout.

The Yahoo! concert is rumored to be similar to the America Online-sponsored Counting Crows gig in 2003 at Boise’s 1,000-capacity Big Easy (now called the Knitting Factory.)

That was a free show.

Timberlake? Free? Can you imagine?

    That’s the same day as The Postal Service at the Knit!

  2. Kylie says:

    Probably The Lumineers seeing as they play at Sasquatch! Music Festival that weekend before, just like The Postal Service. If JT comes, I MUST GO.

    To paraphrase the tagline used when Mix 106 (K106) was testing in the beginning…

    Bringing SEXY (disco) back to Garden City!

    Or maybe Queen’s Tie Your Mother Down would be better…

    Garden City gets the yodeler.

    JT is a sissy boy. This is news how??? Boise music scene sucks. Why is it that real performers often skip Boise?

      Oh well, cheer up. Nag me, make me work and spend my money and you could stay…I’m not very critical at going on 47.

  6. RedRidingHood says:

    Going on 47, more like going on 87. Using spell check for simple words, dang dude did you stop taking your meds???
