Matchbox Twenty and the Goo Goo Dolls are coming to Kansas City together

Posted by on Mon, Apr 1, 2013 at 2:11 PM

There are dozens and dozens of hilarious Rob Thomas photos in Google Images.
  • There are dozens and dozens of hilarious Rob Thomas photos in Google Images.
Wikipedia says the Matchbox Twenty (formerly Matchbox 20; keep it straight, y'all) song "Real World" hit the airwaves back in 1998. That means I've been doing an impression of Rob Thomas singing I wonder what it's like to be the head honcho in his stupid voice for roughly 15 years. It's been a wild ride! It continues this summer: Matchbox Twenty and another '90s mainstream rock act, the Goo Goo Dolls, appear at Sprint Center on Friday, July 12. Tickets on sale this Friday, April 5, at noon. To be clear, I actually like the Matchbox Twenty song "Real World."

Ho, hey, or whatever.
  • Ho, hey, or whatever.
Mumford and Sons, or Mumford, as some people who are really into the band say for short, is pretty much the most popular band in the world. We all agree that's kind of weird, right? ANYWAY. This summer, they are coming to Cricket Wireless Amphitheater, which some people call Sandstone. They are due to arrive by covered wagon on Monday, June 17. Tickets on sale the Friday after next (April 5) at 10 a.m.

Animal Collective, feeling better
  • Animal Collective, feeling better
Looks like the illness-related cancellations are going around. In addition to Morrissey's cancellation, it appears that Animal Collective is now out, too, due to a severe case of strep throat suffered by frontman Avey Tare. Originally scheduled for this Thursday, the Animal Collective appearance is postponed ... until sometime.

Original tickets will be honored on the rescheduled date, or refunds are available at point of purchase.
