State Fair of Texas starts This Week!
Posted by The Killdares on Sep 22, 2010
In the words of Nigel Tufnel from Britain’s legendary Spinal Tap…”These go to 11!” Indeed they do. Especially this week…as we celebrate 11 years at the great State Fair of Texas. That’s right everyone. This Friday we will begin our annual 24-day tour at the biggest fair in the nation…for the 11th time!
You might be saying to yourself, “Hey…how did The Killdares get to be so rockin?” Well…playing 5 shows a day for 24 days might be a reason. Yep…you heard it right. That’s 120 shows over the course of the fair. Plenty of chances to come praise the corn dog gods while gettin’ yer groove on. Big Tex might even consider wearing a kilt with that much Celtic Rock in his backyard. Showtimes: FREE w/ Fair admission at 2, 3, 4, 5, 6PM EVERY DAY! Where: The Backdoor Stage, Gate G of the Cotton Bowl. When: Sept. 24 – Oct. 17th

Concert Tonight in Roanoke, TX – CANCELLED Due to Rain
Posted by The Killdares on Sep 9, 2010
Due to crazy amounts of rain in North Texas over the past 3 days, Arts Council Northeast (formerly ArtsNet) has made the decision to postpone tonight’s show in Roanoke, TX. A lot of standing water remains at the concert site, which would really put a bummer on yer safety and comfort. And we can’t have that now, can we? Stay tuned for a rescheduled Fall date. But, in the meantime I’m sure we’ll see all of you on our State Fair tour, which is just days away.
