Mos Def (who now goes by the name Yasiin Bey) is headlining the 9:30 Club on Monday, February 20th, and ShowlistDC is giving away a pair of tickets! All you have to do to win is leave a comment on this post telling me a song you’d like to hear him perform– either from his solo career or from Black Star– and I’ll pick a winner at random on Friday, 10 February at 5 PM Eastern. Be sure to use a valid email address when you enter, so I can contact you if you win (and don’t worry: your email address won’t be posted publicly when you comment on this entry).
The cool thing about this show is that even though it’s on a Monday night, it’s the Monday of President’s Day weekend, so your Monday night is really more like a Sunday night, and you have no real excuse to stay home. Right? Right! If you’d like to check out some of Mos Def’s music, check out some of his videos: “Casa Bay“, “History” (featuring Talib Kweli), and “Sex, Love, & Money“.
Again, all you have to do to win this pair of tickets is tell me the name of the song you’d most like to see him perform– and if you need a song title refresher, check out his discography, and remember that Black Star just released its new single “Fix Up” in anticipation of an as-yet-untitled album rumored to be released later this year. I’ll select a winner from the entries posted at random (via random.org) at 5 PM Eastern on Friday, 10 February for this pair of tickets. I’ll contact you via email if you win, so be sure to use an email address you check regularly! (and again: it won’t be posted publicly when you comment below.)
If you just can’t wait until then, note that tickets are available via ticketfly.com for $35 plus a $6 service fee and a $4 order processing fee, for a total of $45. Tickets can also be purchased at the 9:30 Club box office for a total of $36 (the club charges a $1 fee, even when purchasing with cash at the box office), any time the box office is open (12-7 PM M-F OR on show nights: 12-11 PM M-F, 6-11 PM Sat, and 6-10:30 PM Sunday).
Contest is now closed and the winner has been notified. You can still purchase tickets on ticketfly.com. Thanks so much for entering!
