Tickets for Yo La Tengo's annual Eight Nights of Hanukkah run at Maxwell's in Hoboken will go on sale Friday, Oct. 28th at 12 Noon. This is more than a month later than last year's Yo La Tengo Hanukkah shows went on sale, and the shows themselves are later in December.

Yo La Tengo (shown here at a 2007 show) will perform their annual Eight Nights of Hanukkah shows at Maxwell's in December.

The Yo La Tengo Hanukkah shows for 2011 will take place on December 21st to the 27th, including Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Tickets for each show are $35 and are available online at Ticketfly and in person at Tunes in Hoboken (225 Washington St.) and Other Music in Manhattan (15 E. 4th St.).
