Breaking Benjamin MCT
How the Edge Stole Xmas
Nothing says "happy holidays" like potent doses of heavy, loud music. Dallas-based radio station 102.1 KDGE/FM "The Edge" understands this, so it has asked a pair of high-profile modern rockers to headline its two-day Yuletide festival. Breaking Benjamin (hot off its just-released Dear Agony) will headline the Dec. 3 lineup, while AFI, which just released its latest album, Crash Love, last month, will do the headlining honors Dec. 4. Expect lots of teens leaping merrily about and not a candy cane in sight. Tickets for both shows go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday at all Ticketmaster outlets.
4 p.m. Dec. 3 and 5 p.m. Dec. 4. Nokia Theatre, Grand Prairie. $39.50-$59.50 (Dec. 3) and $38.50-$48.50 (Dec. 4), on sale Friday. 800-745-3000; www.ticketmaster.com
