Twitter pal - Yoko Ono - noted in her press release recently that there would be bevy of surprise guests appearing at her upcoming concert at the Orpheum in October.
If you recall, I penned a post on what is expected to be a true musical blow-out!

The Plastic Ono Band leader wasn't kidding!
Word out of the Ono camp is that Lady Gaga will be turning up to charm her little monsters at what is turning out to be a must-attend sold-out gig in LA LA LAND!
In addition, the sizzling talent roster includes singer Perry Farrell, Wu-Tang Clan's RZA, experimental solo artist Tune-Yards, punk icon Iggy Pop and Lennon's youngest son, Sean.
John Lennon's birthday is celebrated each year by Ms. Ono, and this year, is no exception.
Presumably, there will be a tribute to the former mop-headed musical wonder (who would have been 70 this year), sometime during the two-day musical extravaganza (October 1st - 2nd).
To celebrate Lennon's birthday on October 9, Ono is hosting a series of events and a Plastic Ono Band concert in Iceland. EMI will reissue spiffed-up versions of Lennon's solo albums on October 5, along with some previously unreleased home recordings.
As to the mercurial Lady Gaga, she is scheduled to sashay on stage on the second night of a dazzling bill that will feature married Sonic Youth duo Kim Gordon and Thurston Moore.
If you recall, Lady Gaga performed "Imagine," Lennon's signature song of hope, at last October's Human Rights Campaign gathering in Washington, D.C.
Actress Carrie Fisher, Harper Simon, Mike Watt, Nels Cline, and Yuka Honda also grace the promotional poster for the scintillating highly-anticipated event, signaling their appearances, too.
See 'ya there!
