Contest Win Tickets to the “Hooligans in Wondaland” Tour with Bruno Mars and Janelle Monae!

Posted by Ezra Ace Caraeff on Fri, May 20, 2011 at 7:27 AM

On Saturday June 4 the “Hooligans in Wondaland” tour invades the Rose Garden with sets from Bruno Mars, Janelle Monáe, and the-not-too-shabby-opening-act Mayer Hawthorne & The County.

Damn, that's quiet the lineup.

Even if you are lukewarm to the pintsize chart-climbing crooner that is Bruno Mars (he of "catch a grenade for ya" fame), it's impossible not to be smitten with Ms. Monáe. We've been sweet on the fiery futuristic soul singer ever since we accidentally stumbled into her afternoon teaser show at the Doug Fir three years back, and now with the release of her critically-acclaimed The ArchAndroid LP, Monae deserves all the success that comes with playing in basketball arenas—even if it means her stage diving days are a thing of the past.

Now let's giveaway some tickets. We have a pair of passes to “Hooligans in Wondaland” and they can be yours if you comment below and explain why you need to be at this concert. The best comment by Monday (May 23) at 9am will be declared the winner. Good luck.

If you'd rather throw your hand on a blade (for ya) than enter this contest, just buy your tickets here.
