UPDATE: The full rundown of the Blowout X shows and an interview with members about calling it the last year is now posted here.
It'll be 10 and done for Doomtree's annual Blowout concerts.
The Twin Cities hip-hop collective just announced that this year's early-December music marathon will be their last -- but they're going to make it count, with 10 events scheduled over eight days, Dec. 6-13. And have no fear: The end of the Blowouts in no way means Doomtree itself is winding down, as is pointed out right away in the announcement on the group's site.
The crew is rolling out the specifics of the Blowout X lineup day-by-day on an hourly basis today, with two of the days already announced. The first show is taking place Dec. 6 at the Turf Club (a 21 & up show). The Dec. 7 installment will feature some kind of special collaboration between Doomtree and the Surly Brewing Co., details of which will be unveiled at a later date.
Stay tuned for more updates at Doomtree.net, and check back for a full run-down of the shindig this afternoon here at StarTribune.com/music.
