CHUCK BERRY to play Virgin Fest!!!
April 23, 2008 at 11:00 PM UTC

Appears I'm the first with the scoop, so I thought I'd let ya'll know.
Apparently, Chuck Berry will be playing Virgin Fest on what looks to be August 9th. He's posted the dates of a new tour on his website, and August 9th has "Baltimore Festival" listed. I mean, I assume there's no other music festival going on in Baltimore on August 9th, right? Haha.
And considering it's his official website, I can only assume that it must be legit.
This is a very exciting development!

It was in the last issue of Spin and posted over a week ago.

I'm amazed Seth was able to lure this fossil off away from the state fair circuit for a day.

Apparently a poor attempt at humor. Perhaps I should have used the last name too: David Malitz.

I assume you're referring to your prediction (which was spot on–we all owe you 50 bucks), because I see nothing else on the thread referring to Berry playing.

I think Berry played the club sometime back in the 90s and Seth got to sit in on drums.

in the past Chuck Berry didn't tour with a set band, just got on stageand played with the local musicians his promoters lined up at each gig.

Chuch Berry's COOL. He will entertain!
Beats Bob Dylan as far as I'm concerned.

yeah I saw Chuck at the Warner back in the late 80s, with a pick-up band backing him up. It was sloppy as hell, but still it was Chuck Berry playing his classic tunes live, and no "Ding a Ling" thank goodness. It was enjoyable. However it's now 20 years later … might be kinda dodgy. Maybe Wilco will back him up.
