91x-fest to inaugurate new mission valley venue

the union tribune has the scoop on the first show to be held at the new mission valley concert venue. the 91x-fest will open the aeg live concerts on the green stage at the rugby field near qualcomm stadium. headliners are modest mouse (woo-hoo!) and the offspring (i just threw up in my mouth). well it's better than no concert venue in mission valley, right? just don't try to find the venue on aeg's website yet - it's not there.

the article is mostly about coors (whoops, cricket) amphitheater's schedule, which includes radiohead, by far their biggest concert score in a long time. other big names are the police/elvis costello, and dave matthews band. the ut also focuses on how it's getting harder to fill a 19442-seat venue like cricket, vs. the smaller (13K) concerts on the green venue. considering that acts frequently pass over san diego due to weak concert turnouts, having more venues can only help.

UPDATE: here's the official 91x fest page and there's no modest mouse (yet?). also, stone temple pilots will be playing the green on their comeback tour; july 27th's the date.
