System of a Down's Serj Tankian, Spanish tenor Jose Carreras, L.A. rockers 30 Seconds to Mars, kid-friendly group the Wiggles and the MTV Movie Awards are among the highlights of the 2010 subscription concert series being announced jointly Friday by the Greek Theatre and Gibson Amphitheatre.
Offerings include many veterans making return visits to the two facilities as well as a number of newer acts injecting some freshness to the lineups.
Tankian will bring his ambitious Elect the Dead" symphony, from his 2007 solo album, to the Greek on July 30 with accompaniment from a full orchestra. Carreras also will appear with symphonic backing June 26 when he plays the Greek for the first time in 15 years.
