Weezer and Imagine Dragons Headline Deck the Hall Ball 2014

TV on the Radio, Cage the Elephant, and Young the Giant help round out the bill for 107.7 The End's holiday concert.

Weezer’s Rivers Cuomo still looks just like Buddy Holly (whoa oh…).

Is it really time to start thinking about holiday events already? It looks like 107.7 The End isn’t giving us much of a choice, as the rock radio station has announced the lineup for the 2014 edition of Deck the Hall Ball. A full 20 years after bursting onto the scene with the classic Blue Album, Weezer highlights the concert with the group’s first Seattle gig in support of the new album Everything Will Be Alright in the End (out tomorrow). Meanwhile, headliners Imagine Dragons won’t be bringing any new material to KeyArena as the band continues touring behind their hit 2012 record Night Visions and singles like “Radioactive.” The second tier of Deck the Hall Ball consists of the energetic and eclectic Cage the Elephant, California indie rock quintet Young the Giant, and acclaimed Brooklyn rock group TV on the Radio (buried way too far down on this lineup, but that’s what happens when you play a radio showcase sans super radio-friendly tunes). The bottom of the bill features South African alt-rockers of Kongos, singer-songwriter Vance Joy, and British blues rock duo Royal Blood.

Tickets for Deck the Hall Ball 2014 go on sale this Friday, October 10 at 10am via AXS.com. General admission floor tickets are $60 and reserved seats run $50–$90.
