Slayer will bring "fury and intensity" to SDCC

16 MAY 2016

I don't know what YOUR plans are for Thursday, 21 July, but Slayer's House of Blues show just jumped to the top of my list. Slayer promises to bring "a night of fury and intensity that the city won't soon forget." They'll also be doing signings inside the Con on Friday at booths 501 and 2615 - and you'll get to see their new line of BMX bikes.

Tickets for the House of Blues show go on sale this Friday at 10 am PST. Don't miss out.

Chamber Band playing 2 shows at Comic-Con

15 JUNE 2014

Renowned Brooklyn nerd band Chamber Band is returning to Comic-Con this summer, playing shows at both Gam3rCon and Comic-Con Nerd-A-Thon. Described as equal parts The Decemberists and They Might Be Giants (by way of Danny Elfman), the band will be playing songs from their debut album Deities, about love and relationships in the world of Dungeons & Dragons. That may make them the most quintessential Comic-Con band ever.

4th Annual Nerd-a-thon at the Merrow

Friday, 25 July at 8 pm - $25

 

The show will also feature the L.A. burlesque troupe Devil's Playground, with nerdcore rappers MC Frontalot, MC Lars, Schaffer the Dark Lord and Dr. Awkward. 21+.


Gam3rCon

 

Saturday, 26 July from 5-10 pm - free with $20 Gam3rCon admission. All ages, obviously. 

 

 

While there will be official and geeky-themed events competing for your attention every night of the Con, sometimes it's a relief to get away from all of that and just go see a show in a bar one night. So consider this a good option. Tickets are on sale now; the VIP area for the Merrow show is already sold out, so get your tickets sooner rather than later.
