UPDATED 12/11/13 with new ticket sale time.

We don’t usually use posts for concert announcements, but we thought this one was so neat we had to yell about it on the Internet. Some of you might have been present on March 15th, 2007, when The Hold Steady put on an incredibly memorable show at Off Broadway. (We weren’t, but our cool friends were.)

In 2011, they played for thousands in Forest Park as a LouFest headliner (when the Roots didn’t show because of Hurricane Irene). Check out a few photos below; these guys put on killer live performances.

All this is to say that The Hold Steady will return to Off Broadway for a rare St. Louis club performance on January 30th, 2014. Tickets will go on sale through the Off Broadway website THIS FRIDAY, December 13th. The word is that the tickets will go on sale at 12:00 noon. If this changes, we’ll update this post and let you know. 

This show will obviously sell out, so we wanted to tell IWTAS readers as soon as we could. Set those phone alarms!
