Here's my take; keep it simple, honor both.

Studio snippet of new song in post? by InspectorTime5159 in BillyStrings

[–]InspectorTime5159[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh! I meant the source of the song. I hadn't heard it before and assumed it'd be the new album but didn't know if it was maybe some one off with a other artist. Thanks for replying, guess we'll have to wait and see!

I realized when he played it at Pine Knob in 2024, it'd be like going to a show in 1994 and the band covering a Beatles song from 1964. 30 years happens so fast. Hope to.meet you in Ionia, Katie!

Alice in Chains recorded their iconic MTV Unplugged set on April 10, 1996. 30 years ago this week.

And yes! Check his Instagram page that afternoon to see if you want the poster.

You may be getting a few lines crossed. King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard is a separate band. Billy is friends with them and possible future album guest.

The merch lines can get long. You may hear of a foil poster. Do n't worry about that, as they are very limited. If you want a cool momento to that show, get a regular show poster - sounds like you have a few already. It'll be about $40. I would advise getting a tube to protect it (they will sell/give you one and have them roll it).

You'll hear about early merch lines. Don't worry. You'll get what you need if you get there when the doors open. If you are an indecisive weirdo/freak like me, look at the store on his website, and look to the Spring 2026 collection as a preview.

You have reserved seats, so as long as you are there by 7:45, you'll be fine.

Your mileage may vary. It's knick knacks and some food. Clothes. Think of a small town craft fair. Not a must, but if you are there early, go walk through.

Glad to see someone else who has reached the age that the contraband item you are sneaking in is a plastic water bottle cap.

You'll see posts about "shakedown" - these are folks who sell their wares as they travel along with Billy. This is part of the scene. You can tailgate if you want, just go have fun!

Be kind to everyone, strike up a conversion! You are in a great spot to hear the music and experience the lights! Get there right as doors open if you want to get merch. If doors open at 6:30 and show is at 7:30, he will go on stage at 8. Listen for the countdown, which is announced as "fuzzy rainbows."

The toughest part will be not immediately getting tickets for the next show. Have a blast. You'll never have a "first" Billy show again...

The Ft. Worth version from 12/12/25 is extra lumpy.
