This is the mother of all secret shows.
Following up evenings that found both Rod Stewart and Depeche Mode playing intimate shows at the Troubadour, Twitter buzz has the Rolling Stones performing at the tiny confines of the Echoplex tonight.
The rumors started last night, and all signs point to the Stones’ Twitter account @Grrregory posting the details at 12:30 this afternoon – however, there are already a bunch of people in line at the El Rey to purchase tickets (photo evidence courtesy of Grimy Goods).
At this point, it’s likely that there are already more people in line for tickets than will end up snagging them (Twitter buzz says there’s a 1-ticket limit and they’re only $20) – but if you’re close enough, why not go get in line anyway?
Good luck!
UPDATE: The band has released full details on how to get tickets. It is a lottery for those in line at the El Rey right now.
