I read first sentence in a book but it sounded weird to me!
Would second sentence be considered as an alternative to first sentence?

I agree with J.R. Idiomatically, we use the first one, not the second one.– stangdonMay 22, 2018 at 17:40

I think the first one is alright because it's acceptable to use a gerund in a sentence when you talk about present events.

Idiomatic using the present tense (continuous).
There's no way I will tell you about her show.
Idiomatic using the future tense (simple).
