San Francisco Man Sentenced to Probation for Domestic Violence and Elder Abuse…..

San Francisco’s alt-metal fans have spoken, and they have spoken quickly, in a city that never sleeps on music.

In a swift ninety minutes on Friday morning, excited fans snapped up all the available tickets for a massive event at Golden Gate Park featuring System of a Down and Deftones, leaving not a single stub remaining.

This concert, set for August 17, is part of another initiative by Another Planet Entertainment (APE) to extend the musical revelry in the park following the iconic Outside Lands Festival.

Tickets for the booming event started at $169 plus fees for the general admission, with the high rollers opting for $399 VIP packages – a price tag that didn’t deter the rapid depletion of entries to see the co-headlining sets.

Following the news of the sell-out, the promoter posted on social media, saying, “We can’t wait to see all 50k of you on Saturday, August 17 at the Polo Field!” CBS San Francisco reported. Though they haven’t released a new album in almost 20 years, SoCal-based System of a Down is still regarded as one of the most well-liked alternative-metal bands and has built a devoted following worldwide with a string of spectacular live performances, which included this rare trip to San Francisco.

Deftones, with roots in Sacramento, continue to push the boundaries of heavy alternative music, likened sometimes to the morose elegance of the Cure and Radiohead.

Adding to the vibrations, The Mars Volta, Viagra Boys, and VOWWS have been confirmed to join the heavyweights for an afternoon and evening of head-banging hits on the Polo Field stage.
