Once upon a time, a rumor that the
Rolling Stones'
Voodoo Lounge tour would stop in
Texas Memorial Stadium, for the first concert on the Longhorns' home field since
ZZ Top's infamous 1974 Barn Dance, got TCB his maiden front-page
Daily Texan byline. Sadly, the show was not to be, and UT's outdoor concert drought was instead broken by the
Eagles. Correcting a 12-year injustice, the World's Wrinkliest Rock & Roll Band announced Tuesday that, provided
Keith Richards doesn't fall out of any more trees, the fall 2006 leg of their
A Bigger Bang tour will include the Stones' first-ever Austin show Oct. 22 at
Zilker Park. Ticket information and support acts are TBA, but since the promoter is none other than
Austin City Limits Music Festival producers
Capital Sports & Entertainment, even money says
Lance Armstrong introduces the band. Equally likely is that CSE asks former Stones opener
Los Lonely Boys to repeat, but the San Angelo trio made headlines of their own when bassist
JoJo Garza was arrested on misdemeanor charges of family disturbance and possession of marijuana before the Boys'
Stubb's show last Saturday. The trouble started when someone at the downtown
Omni, where the band was staying, registered a noise complaint and police were called to Garza's room. In a statement Monday, Los Lonely Boys' attorneys said the disturbance resulted from a "misunderstanding" between Garza and his fiancée, the bassist was detained despite her protests, and she exhibited no evidence of injury. (They declined to comment on the marijuana charge.) Garza was released on a personal bond in time to play the sold-out show. Finally, Brooklyn noisemakers
TV on the Radio, replacing
Donavon Frankenreiter, will join Los Lonely Boys and about 125 other acts at the ACL festival. Only single-day tickets remain for the Sept. 15-17 event.
