The National at BAM (05/15/10)
Watch the promo video here
With the lineup for their five nights of curating at the High Violet Annex still yet to be announced (where I assume they will probably play at some point), The National have just announced another one-off gig at BAM on May 15. Tickets for the special benefit show go on presale tomorrow (May 6) at 10AM and the show will be simulcast live on YouTube and possibly on Vevo.com but that is not 100% confirmed.
We wanted to let you know that tickets will be on-sale tomorrow AM (10AM EST) for a new show at the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM) on May 15.
This is a brand new show – just added – it will be a benefit show for the Red Hot Organization (http://www.redhot.org) – all ticket proceeds will benefit this important charity. Additionally, we are excited to announce that D.A. Pennebaker (director of DON’T LOOK BACK, MONTEREY POP, and THE WAR ROOM, among other amazing films) and Chris Hegedus (http://phfilms.com/) will be directing a LIVE-to-the-internet, simulcast of the show, which will be broadcast as it happens on YouTube.
Advance tickets for this show are available through an exclusive pre-sale at the link below. The pre-sale starts tomorrow, MAY 6th, at 10:00 AM EST:
