Coheed and Cambria........ odd line up

Got to see them in Houston this summer on the Mayhem Festival. They are still putting on a killer show!!! But I must say Disturbed was really on point that night.

Seems odd that they would get Wells. I can't see them opening up the balcony, but then again they've had other similar shows there and not opened up the balcony.

Yes I realize that Slipknot is big for Hard Rock, but they are not on the same level as Nickelback, Bon Jovi, Paul McCartney, etc when it comes to crowd sizes.

How many does Wells hold? I'm just wondering because there were tens of thousands of us at the race track in Houston to see them. I would have a hard time thinking there was less that 20,000 at that concert. Although there were many acts as it was an all day thing.

Dude they have sold out major areas all over the land. Not to mention they are the highest saling mental band in history and I mean real mental bands not hair bands.

I would love to see them sell out Wells, I just think it's going to be difficult due to the economy, seasonality, supporting acts, etc. I know they've sold out some big places, but historically hard rock and metal bands have not pulled well in the DM area. I know they're local, but that only goes so far.

Yeah because those other bands play music.

Well they have repeatedly sold out the biggest venues in the country - including several times at Wells

I saw them in Denver and in K.C. The show in Denver was them for 2 hours or more and that had at least 35,000 there. I'm so excited that thier coming back to town.

These are my feelings.
