The annual Deck the Hall Ball, which is put on by local alt-rock institution 107.7 The End, will be held at WaMU Theatre on Dec. 8 this year and it boasts a lineup of some of the more prominent names in modern rock.
The show will include The Black Keys, Broken Bells, Jimmy Eat World, Cake, Temper Trap and Sleigh Bells. Tickets go on sale Nov. 6 and cost $44.50.
The last time the Black Keys were in town they played an extremely sold-out concert at the Paramount Theatre on Oct. 2. The band could’ve easily played a two-night stand at the Paramount considering that they sold out the venue three months in advance of last month’s show. WaMu’s bigger stage is a natural progression for the popular blues duo from Akron, Ohio.
The End has a history of booking top-notch talent for its holiday fest. Previous Deck performers from years past include Franz Ferdinand, Foo Fighters, Hole, The Killers, Death Cab For Cutie and Spoon. Last year’s Deck the Hall Ball was headlined by Muse and it included sets by Visqueen, Vampire Weekend, Phoenix, Metric and 30 Seconds to Mars.
