Screeching Weasel Plan 25th Anniversary Weekend in Chicago

Chicago, IL’s pop-punk legends Screeching Weasel are planning a 3-night 25th Anniversary Weekend to take place in late May in Chicago. The Riverdales will play one of the three nights, with Screeching Weasel playing the other two. Frontman Ben Weasel released the following statement:

We’re still working on our 2011 show schedule, but I wanted to let you guys know about this one now because it’s too good to wait.

2011 marks Screeching Weasel’s 25th anniversary. To celebrate, we’re playing Reggie’s in Chicago over Memorial Day weekend, and we’re pulling out all the stops on this one, my friends. Screeching Weasel will be playing Friday, May 27th and Sunday the 29th (a different set each night), with the Riverdales playing our only North American show of the year on Saturday the 28th. Tickets will be on sale this Saturday, Dec. 18th at noon CST HERE. Right now we’re only selling tickets at the package price for the whole weekend – single day tickets will go on sale January 1st. In the meantime, check out the line-up!

Vapid and I will be doing a DJ set one of the evenings in the lounge after the show, and people from some of the other bands will be doing them the other nights. See ya there!
