Creed finalizes dates for summer/fall tour

admin

Creed, after announcing that the band will be ending their six year hiatus and return to the stage with all four original band members, have finalized the dates for their summer and fall tour. Frontman Scott Stapp, guitarist Mark Tremonti, drummer Scott Phillips and bassist Brian Marshall will be hitting the stage in 41 different cities, with their first show being on August 6th in Burgettstown, PA. The band will continue to tour across the United States before performing their finale in Nashville, TN on October 14th.

Frontman Stapp is quick to point out that this is by no means a reunion: “We never felt like we weren’t together…. It’s more of a rebirth.” Apparently the band’s ambitions to create new music has also seen a rebirth, as they have plans to release a new studio album during the tour or shortly after. Tentatively titled “Full Circle,” the album will be the first taste of new music since the band released “Weathered” in 2001.

Creed Tickets are available now for their U.S Tour — check the listings below for their stop nearest you.

There have been many rumours circulating over whether or not the tournament would be moved from South Africa due to some FIFA executives expressing concerns with regard to the organization, planning and pace of the preparations, though FIFA representatives have been strongly denying it.
The final tournament runs from June 11 – July 11, 2010 in 9 different cities across South Africa. An exciting moment for fans, this tournament provides current World Cup champs Italy, with a shot at tying the record for most World Cups, a title currently held by Brazil with 5.

Miley Cyrus ditches alter-ego for newly announced tour

admin

For the first time in her career, Miley Cyrus will be hitting the road without being accompanied by her alternate persona, Hannah Montana, which will be quite the undertaking as Cyrus will travel across 43 cities in the United States with herself as the sole main attraction.

The long tour will begin September 14th in Portland, OR and continue throughout the fall right into December when she closes with a performance in Miami, FL on December 2nd. Being away from family for such a long stretch can be tough, but thankfully Miley will have her older brother Trace Cyrus and his band Metro Station along for the ride to open each show.

Since breaking onto the scene in 2003, Miley Cyrus has achieved considerable success, both with and without the help of Hannah Montana, and her latest studio album “Breakout” — also a first solely as Miley Cyrus, rather than Hannah Montana — debuted at the top of Billboards Top 100.

Miley Cyrus tickets will go on sale to the public on June 13th. Check below for tour dates, and keep an eye out on this page for when our Miley Cyrus tickets become available!

Brad Paisley gears up for tour start

Brad Paisley is all set to kick off yet another tour on June 5th titled the “American Saturday Night Tour,” with a plan to visit over 40 cities throughout the entirety of the tour, which continues through the summer into October. His first show, which happens this Friday, will take place in Charlotte, NC at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre, and will be accompanied by fellow country singers Dierks Bentley and Jimmy Wayne who will be opening for Paisley throughout the tour.
