Alright scrubs — we need VENUES.
WHO is going to let us use their church, public pool, bingo hall, etc.
I need resources!!! I’m trying to swing, swing from the tangles of my heart & I know you are, too.

Sign with City of Plano Special Events to play at McCall Plaza .

Unitarian Universalist churches are extremely liberal.

I need to know when this happens, I think it might heal me.
zex-258@reddit
Same, are they confirmed for Dallas/Plano?

A little outside of Plano, but my rugby club has a field at the border of Sachse/Wylie that would be great for a show
jjbananamonkey@reddit
Super unrelated but do yall have a photographer? I’d love to come out and shoot a game.
yarmulke@reddit
We do not. Unfortunately we don’t have much of a budget for a photographer but if you want to come out and take some shots, you’re more than welcome to. Our season just wrapped up but you can follow us @darc.knights on Instagram for when more events get announced

They can play in the abandoned Willow Bend Mall. Would actually be a pretty cool venue

Wait. This is an amazing idea.
plaid_seahorse@reddit
Can this really happen please?? Heard the summer "backyard tour" is in planning stages but "abandoned mall tour" is so timely
Lurcher99@reddit
This is fabulous. My wife could finally see, but would have to be on the 2nd floor (she's short!)

Its a little further north in Collin County, but the Slayter Creek skate park in Anna is pretty sweet.

Why not legacy hall?
AvsBehindEnemyLines@reddit
The All American Rejects are doing a "house party tour" where they play nontraditional venues like backyards, skateparks, etc.
It's organized using an app they helped develop that connects fans, bands, and nontraditional venues directly so they can avoid the TicketMaster monopoly on venues and ticket prices.
Borntochief@reddit
Ooooh I see
Suitable_Bike_9484@reddit (OP)
Exactly. That’s why football stadiums and these local bar suggestions don’t really fit the bill.
DecentPrintworks@reddit
So the way the tour works this time is they want the venues to pay them more of a normal rate to play at the non-standard venue
vs the first run of the tour they mostly played shows for free and sold a ton of merch + got lots of press and social buzz.
Suitable_Bike_9484@reddit (OP)
I believe this is correct.
exwijw@reddit
Swing? Swing? So you’re a swinger club? Maybe find other groups that do the same. And ask their guidance.
Use a church??????
Suitable_Bike_9484@reddit (OP)
While I could be misinterpreting this as sarcasm — a church is a type of venue they are looking to play in. But not some mega church.

I thought this was a dirty little secret?
Suitable_Bike_9484@reddit (OP)
It still could be but they’re asking around for venues!
KeruxDikaios@reddit
The Central Market off Coit has a tiny stage.
Suitable_Bike_9484@reddit (OP)
That would be absolutely insane (I love it)

Love & War in TX (restaurant) does concerts on their patio.
custermustache@reddit
I own a private garage where I store my cars - I have hosted bands before, I would love to host them. DM me
DecentPrintworks@reddit
Interested in this mystery venue. Messaging!
Ignaciodelsol@reddit
I saw them at Clemson a year ago and good god can they still rock
tj2286@reddit
Legacy Hall is probably the best bet.
Swirls109@reddit
They are wanting to do weird places not concert venues. That's the whole point of their tour.

If this is real I can't wait to see them live
Reaper930@reddit
Following because fuck yeah!
LordVinious@reddit
I've got a neighborhood bar in Lewisville that could be a super fun set up. Would love to collaborate!
peterbilt8713@reddit
How about switchyard fest in Carrollton ?
Lurcher99@reddit
If we only had a few football stadiums that were mostly empty
