WIN STUFF: Win 2 tix to see The Killers at Merriweather Post Pavilion BEFORE THEY GO ON SALE!

CONTEST CLOSED

Brush up on the lyrics to "Mr. Brightside" because The Killers are coming to town!

Saturday, August 10, the Las Vegas rockers bring their collection of anthemic hits - "Mr. Brightside," "Somebody Told Me," and "When You Were Young," to name a few - to Merriweather Post Pavilion, and we want to send you to join in on the massive sing-a-long FO' FREE!

The Killers began in 2001 as the project of vocalist/keyboardist Brandon Flowers and guitarist Dave Keuning. The pair began writing, recording, and performing together while kinks in the band's full lineup were worked out. A year later, drummer Ronnie Vannucci and bassist Mark Stoermer came into the picture, cementing The Killers' final roster from there on out. Over the past eleven years, the four guys have collaborated to release four full-length albums - 2004's critically-acclaimed Hot Fuss, sophomore follow-up Sam's Town in 2006, Day & Age two years later, and Battle Born in 2012 after a short hiatus. 

Reportedly, The Killers are in the process of recording a fifth album. Curious to know if they will play any new songs at the Merriweather show? Please do one of the following for your chance to win a pair of lawn tickets:

1. Leave a comment below, using a valid email address, telling us your favorite Killers lyric and why.

2. Retweet this or tweet the following:

I'm entering to win tix to see The Killers at Merriweather Post Pavilion! @ChunkyGlasses #FREERAWKRULES #KillersMPP

The lucky winner will be chosen THIS THURSDAY NIGHT, so make sure to enter before then!

Not feeling lucky but still want to see Flowers and company rock Merriweather? Tickets go on sale this Friday, May 17 at 10 a.m. through Ticketfly. 

TO DO LIST: Sweetlife Festival THIS SATURDAY!!

For local lovers of live music, this weekend marks the kickoff of what is truly the most wonderful time of the year:  FESTIVAL SEASON!  On Saturday, sweetgreen, purveyors of healthy bites in the DC area since 2007, will present Sweetlife:  A Music + Food Festival at Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, MD.  The lineup looks delicious!  Whether your auditory taste buds are craving futuristic soul (Solange), the best contemporary blues (Gary Clark, Jr.), indie rock royalty (Yeah Yeah Yeahs), new hip hop classics (Kendrick Lamar), or orchestral pop/rock bliss (Phoenix), Sweetlife has something on the menu for you! 

And that’s just the main stage.  A music festival wouldn’t be complete without great DJs (John Thornley of US Royalty and Nancy Whang of LCD Soundsystem, to name just two) at the 9:32 DJ Lounge, or a plethora of excellent acts appearing on the Treehouse Stage, which will feature future festival headliners and music magazine cover stars (including Shark Week, MS MR, Youth Lagoon, & Holy Ghost!).  And since sweetgreen knows you’ll work up a thirst and an appetite, there will be great breweries on location as well as food trucks and artisans galore.  So dig out your hula hoops and glow sticks, get your face paint and your finest new tutu, because Sweetlife is the first “can’t miss” event of the season!
