The North Charleston Coliseum has a big deal announcement coming tomorrow. It’s so big, they’re even serving the media lunch!
So says the press release:Â “Please join Mayor Summey and the North Charleston Coliseum for the official announcement of THE BIGGEST SHOW IN COLISEUM HISTORY!!!”
I, for one, am refusing to get excited about this. The last time they trumpeted an announcement it turned out to be Elton John. Blech.
Who do you think this could be? We’re already taking bets at the City Paper office…
- Blair Barna says Led Zeppelin
- Chris Haire says The Police
- Ballard Lesemann says Zeppelin too
- Scott Suchy hopes it Zeppelin
- Erica Jackson thinks it’s Zeppelin, based on a Facebook post by a girlfriend of an assistant of a mayor or something like that
- Greg Hambrick thinks it could be Hannah Montana
- I think it could be REM
Who do you think it is?

REM played at the coliseum back in 94′ or 95.
The Stones?
The artist once again known as Prince?
Michael and Janet Jackson comeback tour?
James Brown’s zombie parade?
A very special evening with J. Geils (solo acoustic)?
R.E.M. with The B-52’s, Pylon, Widespread Panic, Olivia Tremor Control, Jucifer, The Drive-By Truckers, and Vic Chesnutt (a gallery of Athens superstars).
Slayer!!!!
But to truly make it the biggest, we’d have to hope for a double-bill that includes Motorhead.
I assume this was about the Dinosaurs Live! nonsense - any updates. I was hoping somewhere in SC would have warranted being on the third string of Police dates - oh, well.
Probably Obama, he he he.
God, I hope it’s not Led Zep. Yuk.
Husker Du
Dead Kennedys
Black Flag
Even though all said they’d never play together again.
