Missed out on snagging tickets to see U.K. rockers the Kooks tonight at the Wiltern? If you are unable to make it to the sold-out show (tickets have been sold out now for over a month), you may not be totally out of luck.
The group plays an outdoor show Wednesday for “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” (taping in the early evening, for free tickets and information go here), and Soundboard has exclusively learned that the chart-topping outfit will play a secret acoustic set Tuesday night at the Kibitz Room on Fairfax Avenue. The special set begins at 9 p.m., and like all shows at the Kibitz, is free. The Brighton-based Kooks also plan to busk at several other undisclosed locations throughout the day Tuesday, a band representative said.
The Kooks are currently riding high worldwide, after a No. 1 debut in England of their latest offering, “Konk.” The disc entered at No. 41 on the Billboard Top 200 last month, and the band has received strong support from alt-rock radio outlets over the course of their four-year career.
