Mumford & Sons @ The Varsity Theater 5/26/2010
Minneapolis’ current (pardon the pun) favorite band played to a very sold out and very sweaty crowd last night at The Varsity Theater in Dinkytown. Despite the temperature inside the venue hitting the 80s, the crowd was absolutely delighted to host the band in our fair city.
The Middle East @ Varsity Theater *TONIGHT*
The Middle East hail from Australia and are set to re-release their debut EP ‘The Recordings of The Middle East’ on June 8th. Their gorgeous brand of acoustic folk should find plenty of interest with fans of Fleet Foxes, Bon Iver, etc.
Ticket Contest – The Middle East / Mumford & Sons @ Varsity Theater
More Cowbell & Sneak Attack Media would love to send one of our lucky readers and a friend to see the SOLD OUT show with Australia’s The Middle East and the UK’s Mumford & Sons tomorrow night at the Varsity Theater.
To enter to win, send your FULL NAME and PHONE NUMBER to contests@morecowbell.net with the subject line: “Middle East Tickets” by 8am tomorrow. The winner will be notified by Noon.
Good Luck!
