Turning 21 years old in America means heading to a bar at the stroke of midnight, rashly sampling from the cornucopia of alcohol your older friends probably wouldn’t buy for you when you were a sneaky teenager and spending the remainder of your birthday with an unprecedented hangover. And what better place to experience the magic of adulthood than Las Vegas?
Matador Records is turning 21, and to celebrate they’re hosting an aptly-titled event called “The Lost Weekend” October 1-3 in Sin City. Pavement, Sonic Youth, Liz Phair, Spoon, Belle & Sebastian, Guided By Voices, Yo La Tengo, The New Pornographers, Ted Leo & the Pharmacists and several others from the label will perform at the birthday party, all going down at the Palms Casino Resort.
A very limited number of tickets are still available, but if you can’t get to Vegas, check the set times and stream it live here. Maybe The New Pornographers will throw in a little tambourine.
