I see that @waxahatchee.bsky.social & @mjlenderman.bsky.social are playing ATL's Symphony Hall on April 14. Great! Unclear how this will work, though, as it doesn't (usually) rain inside Symphony Hall. Anyone have a clue on this?

I’m not a huge Oasis guy (and less of a Led Zeppelin guy) but props to them for finally doing what I always wish Zep would have done at some point - give the gift of the live show to millions who would feel so much joy from it. (I’ll remain hopeful for @remhq.bsky.social to do the same.)
