The Current’s Rocktober Ticket Giveaway Blowout is almost over — but not quite yet! You still have time to sign up for a chance to win tickets to some of the shows headed our way this month, and to win tickets on the air from your favorite DJs.

Even though we’ve tried in the Coffee Breaks this week, we haven’t been able to fit in songs from all the artists coming to town, so we’re giving it one more go. Let’s add some more shows to our planner with music!

So, for today’s 9:30 Coffee Break, what songs from artists coming to town in Rocktober would you like to hear?


Respond with your song ideas in the comments below.
