If you’re like me and don’t want to deal with the craziness of Coachella you can stay right here in Vegas and catch some of the highlight bands playing at The Cosmopolitan Las Vegas during the Spring Concert Series (I prefer the unofficial name No-Chella) April 10-20, 2013. Currently 7 nights of shows and 13 bands are booked. We can only assume (hope) that one more big name (Lumineers? Jurassic 5? Modest Mouse? Gaslight Anthem?) is added to the currently open Saturday of the first weekend. Show I’m most excited for: Of Monsters and Men with Local Natives. Great job Cosmo. You’re giving us hope for a solid summer lineup
