opening bands are Rancid and Billy Talent. I saw the latter band open up for My Chemical Romance, they're pretty awesome (yes, I went to see MCR in concert and they were GOOD. suck it.)

I shall not be attending this concert, I'm not that much of a fan of the band. every once and a while, I get the urge to listen to Siren Song of the Counter Culture, but that's about it.
