Concert presales: Capitol Hill Block Party, Matisyahu, the Orb

Right off the bat, let’s dispatch with the ZooTunes lineup.

Despite having a few acts that look like holdovers from a 1998 Lilith Fair stop, the schedule looks like it will bring some fine bands to Seattle’s Woodland Park Zoo this summer.

The full line-up includes the B-52s on June 17; Mavis Staples on June 24; Three Girls and Their Buddy (that is, Emmylou Harris, Patty Griffin, Shawn Colvin and Buddy Miller) on July 1 and 2; Ladysmith Black Mambazo on July 15; Los Lobos on July 19; Cowboy Junkies with Son Volt on July 22; Indigo Girls on July 26; Jewel on July 30; Joan Baez on Aug. 13; Nanci Griffith on Aug. 16; Susan Tedeschi on Aug. 19; and Amos Lee on Aug. 26.

By my count, seven of those people played Lilith Fair in the late 1990s. Weird.

Tickets range in price from $19 to $28, depending on the show. Tickets are available at 8 a.m. Monday at Metropolitan Market locations and by clicking here. Learn even more by clicking here.
