Are you ready for summer? Well we sure are, and to help you make the most of it, we’ve made a list of these mind-blowing acts going on tour, and again, we apologize for our intern Jake’s overzealous love for the works of Karl Marx
6. Backstreet Boys
Backstreet’s Back alright! That’s right, the boy band who made the soundtrack to your highschool years is on tour! But the true boys of the backstreets are the members of the working class, who should organize and strike to shake the pillars of capitalism to its core. The WORKERS Want It That Way!
Okay Jake that joke was cute but that’s not what this list is about.
5. Paul McCartney
One of the most famous songwriters in history is hitting the road, and his show is a MUST SEE experience.

2. Billie Eilish
Billie Eilish is the breakout musician of 2019! Come see what all the fuss is about and while you’re at it, recognize the fact that, in order for business to make profit, they must systematically pay all of their workers less than the value they create, and that this is theft.
–Wait. Is that what profits are? Jake if you had lead with that, you wouldn’t have to slip all this stuff into a list about concerts.
1. The Red Army Choir
Oh fuck off, we’re done here. Get your things and tell your professor we aren’t giving you your co-op credit.
