After last week's tease, it's been reported that Ben Folds Five — Ben Folds, Robert Sledge and Darren Jesse — will reunite on Thursday, Sept. 18 for a show at UNC's Memorial Hall for the group's first public appearance in a decade.As if that weren't enough, benfolds.com is reporting that the trio will play The Unauthorized Biography of Reinhold Messner in its entirety.
Darren Jesse's band Hotel Lights will open the show. Hotel Lights new album Firecracker People was just released a few weeks ago.
Tickets for the general public are $40 and will go on sale Monday, Sept. 8 at 10 a.m. via etix. The show will be presented by MySpace Music. UNC student tickets will go on sale at the same time for $22 at the Memorial Hall box office. Tickets will have a policy of one ticket per One Card, two One Cards per student.
As someone who never had the opportunity to see the trio during their heyday, I'd just like to say: HELL YES.

HELL YES
Damn! This is what i feared it was gonna be. Why cant this be on that friday. Maybe by some miracle it will be moved one day. If not moved atleast cancelled so i dont have to miss it. I am so jealous of you lucky bastards.
Yippie! Can't wait. Now we just have to try to get tickets amongst the masses before it sells out.
Hell yes is quite the phrase. This is fine news.
Shame I'm in England, eh?
Anyone who gets to go: yell "Who the f--- are you?" at the appropriate time for me, won't you?
