Re: Capital One Beach Bash
This is almost certainly a 1-off show. If they were doing a NYE show, it would have been announced already, but instead they're promoting the fall tour + D&T in Mexico. Some of yall speculating a ton based off 1 corporate show like they've done for the SuperBowl and March Madness and similar. Bunch of corporate sponsors (Capital One, NCAA, Orange Bowl, all the other game sponsors etc.) fit the bill for a free show - it's not a big ordeal like a tour. I saw a similar free concert for the CFB playoff final when it was in Tampa recently. It wasn't too packed and the best part was free chick-fil-a nuggets + vouchers for more free chick-fil-a.
My fiance and I are gonna drive down from Tampa, not just for the show, but also to see some friends in SoFla & SW FL, though I am kinda psyched about the show, especially if we can get there early and see them front row. Only time I've ever saw DMB up close and personal was Bonnaroo 2010, but after tripping balls the night before and working all morning on no sleep and then drinking all afternoon, I could only hang up front for the first half of the set before I needed to sit down and rest. This should be a much more relaxed affair, esp. with the Capital One lounge or whatever. Probably not a 2.5 hour show but 1.5 - 2 hours seems a reasonable expectation. To see them right up front and for free without having to leave the state - it's too good to pass up
