Beastie Boys: Time To Get Small

It’s time to test your Ticketmaster skills: The Beastie Boys are going small and getting intimate this summer.

The B-Boys have dropped a number of tour dates for the coming season as they head out to support The Mix-Up. We would be shocked if any of these shows don’t sell out tout de suite. Word has it these shows will be regular ol’ Beasties gigs with just a focus on the instrumentals, but look for more “super intimate” all-instrumental dates to be announced soon…

8/1 Philadelphia – Festival Pier
8/6 Boston – Bank of America Pavilion
8/8 New York – Summerstage
8/9 Brooklyn – McCarren Pool
8/16 Denver – Red Rocks
8/23 Santa Barbara – County Bowl
8/25 Berkeley – Greek Theater

Let’s all guess what the surefire hit of the McCarren Pool show will be. Pre-sales for the above dates begin Thursday June 14th, with on-sales following Friday June 15th and Saturday June 16th.
