The list of aging ex-mega rock stars hitting the Peg continues to grow. Former Dire Straits frontman Mark Knopfler is playing the Centennial Concert Hall on July 11th. Anyone purchasing two tickets (exorbitantly priced between $71 - $101) receives a free copy of his latest album Kill To Get Crimson. Presale password is ROCK.

Presale Password for Kanye West at the MTS Centre is also ROCK. I just scored two floor seats with this password.

Current rotation: Radiohead - In Rainbows
