Win Tickets To See Neutral Milk Hotel At Merriweather Post Pavilion!

by | Feb 12, 2014 | MUSIC

This is a momentous occasion. Neutral Milk Hotel, who changed the game with their 1998 indie-rock masterpiece, In The Aeroplane Over The Sea, spent most of the past 15 years in hibernation mode. But now they’re back!

This is a momentous occasion. Neutral Milk Hotel, who changed the game with their 1998 indie-rock masterpiece, In The Aeroplane Over The Sea, spent most of the past 15 years in hibernation mode. But now they’re back! Those who saw their first reunion tour when it came through The National last October sang the praises of the reunited Aeroplane lineup’s performance–which we hear was just as incredible as their vintage late 90s performances, like this one of “Oh Comely,” live at the Knitting Factory in 1998:

Now those who weren’t able to snag tickets to last fall’s Richmond show (which sold out lightning-fast) will have another opportunity to catch Jeff Mangum and his original backing band live on the big outdoor stage at Merriweather Post Pavilion–which we assume will not sell out nearly as quickly as The National did. Having said that, we don’t recommend you sleep on grabbing tickets to this show. It may be over four months away, but a sellout still might happen, so start scraping your cash together now!

WHAT: Neutral Milk Hotel Land The Aeroplane At Merriweather Post Pavilion!
WHO: Neutral Milk Hotel, Circulatory System
WHERE: Merriweather Post Pavilion, 10475 Little Patuxent Parkway, Columbia MD, 21044
WHEN: Friday, July 25, 6:30 PM
ADMISSION: $36-$46–grab advance tickets HERE

Or better yet, win 2 tickets to this show for free! Yes, it’s true–your pals at RVA Mag have a pair of tickets to give away to see Neutral Milk Hotel this summer, and all you’ve gotta do is plug your info into the handy Punchtab widget below. Do so before 5 PM on Friday, because that’s when this giveaway ends. And keep an eye out for extra chances to win!
