Tis the season for NTR, ticket sales, and megastars, and radio stations everywhere are announcing the holiday concerts that will have you dancing like visions of sugar plums in your head. Here are just a few recently announced blockbuster shows:It's the third year for Afterthought Media Rock WHPP(105 The Hippo)/Boston's "Virgin Birth Blowout," this year starring Mace In Your Face, The Suppositories, Jackin' It In Class, and Clem and the Kadiddlehoppers. For the charity angle, entry to the show is just $1.05 plus any variety of Hamburger Helper.
Radioriffic AC KXIH/Seattle presents "A Chapter 11 Chanukkah" featuring Ponderosa Percy, Shrinking Weenies, The Ryan Seacrests, and Pusblister. Celebrity host for the event will be former "Battlestar Galactica" star Dirk Benedict.
Public station WNRD/Philadelphia gets in the holiday show spirit for the first time this year, presenting lectures by investor Warren Buffett, physicist Stephen Hawking, and Apple's Steve Jobs, followed by a musical set from Miley Cyrus in a show they call "Three Wise Men and a Virgin."
In Los Angeles, Fluffycloud Top 40 KUMK has foregone their traditional holiday concert this year but is reporting great response to the replacement promotion, the KUMK "Holiday Slay Ride," in which listeners can purchase tickets for a nightly bus tour that takes them to the most notorious crime scenes in Southern California.
