Lately, I've been getting calls about a free Gavin Rossdale concert, which will take place at 9:30 p.m. Thursday (Aug. 7) at Seattle's Showbox SoDo. The show is part of the Samsung AT&T Summer Krush series, which includes free shows by Mariah Carey, Smashing Pumpkins, Lee Ann Rimes and Nelly in other locales.

But you can’t just show up and expect to get in, bruh. One of two ways to score tix to see the ex-Bush singer -- the voice behind "Glycerine," "Everything Zen" and other hits – is by listening to Seattle radio stations Star 101.5 and The End and call in at the right time. Or you can get on the standby list compiled the sponsors, which you’ll find here.

Among today's big show announcements are Jason Mraz's Nov. 9 gig at the Paramount Theatre and rock veteran Jackson Browne's Sept. 29 stop at McCaw hall and an appearance of the recently reunited kings of stoner comedy, Cheech & Chong, Nov. 29 at the Paramount.

Tickets for Mraz and Browne go on 10 a.m. Friday (Aug. 8). Tickets for Cheech & Chong go on sale at 4:20 p.m. that same day, which you may remember if you aren't busy puffin' on the wacky tobaccy right around then. You will be able to find more details here.
