**Lamb of God announced a surprise Philly show at the TLA on South St for March 15th. The demand was super high, and sold out immediately. We have been offered 50 physical tickets to sell you starting on Friday 3/13 at 4:30 pm. These guidelines are strict: these will be first come-first served, 2 tickets per person in line, and CASH ONLY. They are a low price of $15 per ticket ! So get in line out in front of the store, and at 4:30 pm our staff will come out and sell the tickets in order of the line…you can then leave with your tickets or choose to stay for the listening event happening at 5 pm. If you would like to stay for the event, just stay in line and we will give you the freebies and raffle number once we start the party at 5 pm.
**At 5 pm, we will play the entire new album for you in the store while you shop/hang out etc. We will have a limited amount of freebies to give out, and everyone will be able to get a raffle number and be entered to win one of a few prizes we have at the end of the party including a test press of the album, a copy of the album with signed insert, and a CD version of the album.
**Please note, the stock we have of the LP and CD to actually sell is VERY LOW, and pre-orders need to be filled first. Since this is happening on release day, we can not guarantee that we will have the album left to sell by the time of the listening event.
We’ve updated our guidelines a little for this event since the demand is very high, and the amount of giveaways (and space) we have is limited.
**Since this is on release day of Friday 3/6 we will be selling the LP and CD as soon as we open at 11 am. The first 10 people to make a Harry Style VINYL purchase during the day will be given a wrist band for guaranteed entry (and poster with sticker OR pin) at the listening party.

**You can line up out front of the shop (as early as you’d like) and we’ll begin letting the line in until we hit capacity at 6 pm. The freebies will not cover everyone in line, so there may be some people toward end of line that will not receive these. However EVERYONE will get a raffle number and be entered to win the grand prize that we’ll give away at the end of the party.

Mitski's new album NOTHING'S ABOUT TO HAPPEN TO ME finds Mitski immersing herself in a rich narrative whose main character is a reclusive woman in an unkempt house. Outside of her home, she is a deviant; inside of her home, she is free.
The album comes February 27, but record stores around the world are opening the door to that home -- Tansy House -- on FEBRUARY 21 for TANSY HOUSE LISTENING EVENTS. You're invited to bring your favorite pens, stickers and crafting supplies and settle in for an advance listen to the new album and some creative time with your thoughts and impressions of the music. Then put it all together for a community art project that may just be featured on the @mitskiverse
Of course, there will be free giveaways -- souvenirs and reminders of the time you spent with friends as you #listentomitski -- and a prize too. And you'll be able to order the new record and get a limited edition sticker on street date *while supplies last.
Slide through to find the store you'll visit and check in with them for times and more details.
