Shit rock fills last spot of Downtown Live

Well, Downtown Live has officially gone down the crapper. The last open spot on the schedule now has a headliner. The show on July 12 will feature Alter Bridge (yeah, the other guys from Creed) and Tantric.

Oh, it gets worse. It turns out that Eve 6 is not the headliner on August 23. Puddle of Mudd is.

We've officially lost hope any hope we may have had left for this series (there was hardly any hope left anyway).

Here's the schedule as it stands now. Thanks, Deep South Entertainment. Have a wonderful summer.

May 31 - The Wailers, Saunter, Pete and J, Jive Mother Mary
June 14 - Cravin Melon, Pete Francis (of Dispatch)
June 28 - Carbon Leaf, Colourside, Bill West & the Sunshine Kids
July 12 - Alter Bridge, Tantric, The T's, Kennebec, Cori Yarckin
July 26 - Old 97s
August 9 - Brian Howe (of Bad Company), Jim Bianco
August 23 - Puddle of Mudd, Eve 6, Saving Abel

It is pretty horrible but what were you expecting after last year.

At least the Old 97's are a good band - you get one decent free show.

yeah what the hell? dont bash the 97's...maybe you should go out and pick up satellite rides or fight songs.

Old 97's are a good band but (in my opinion) not worth all the BS you have to deal with at Downtown Live. And don't forget — the rest of that night's lineup hasn't been announced yet. It could turn downhill real fast.

looks like i won't be bothering this year

I've got to say - this year's lineup is WORLDS better than last year. I'm going to 3 shows this year. Last year, didn't make it to anyone of them.

Everyone knows you go to see your favorite local bands play on a big stage. The silly headliners are for the rednecks. The T's, Richard Bacchus, Left Outlet? Sounds good to me.

Old 97's is the one good headliner, but it's the same night as Avett Bros. in Cary.

I agree with the person who said this year's line-up is better than last year, and that's not saying much. Puddle of Mudd is the only band this year I would go see.
