Submitted by dmenconi on 08/28/2008 - 10:05
Raleigh Downtown Live wrapped up its 2008 season on Saturday, with an announced crowd of 16,400 (!) at Moore Square for Puddle of Mudd. The free seven-show series drew a reported total of 71,050 people. And lo and behold, RDL producer Deep South Entertainment has already set dates for 2009 (which didn't happen this year until February). So if you want to mark your calendar:
May 30
June 13
June 27
July 11
July 25
Aug. 8
Aug. 22
Maybe that new downtown amphitheater will be ready to go by then?
