Green Day returns for North American Tour!

admin

Green Day, having taken over a three year break since their last tour, has announced that they will return with a total of 39 concerts across North America, promoting their soon-to-be-released album, 21st Century Breakdown. The opening show will take place in Seattle’s Key Arena on July 3rd, and the tour will continue across the U.S and Canada until the final show on August 25th at The Forum in Los Angeles. All Canadian Green Day tickets go on sale May 8th, except for the Ottawa and Montreal shows which go on sale on the 9th. For the American concerts, ticket sale dates vary, so check out Green Day’s official tour page for details on each show.

“Know Your Enemy,” the first single off of the album that is being promoted on the tour, has already taken the top spot on radios for the Alternative genre, making it their ninth number one single for the genre. The album has already impressed critics, with one reviewer from Rolling Stone in particular claiming “21st Century Breakdown is Green Day’s best album.” If you’re a fan of Green Day, it sounds like you have a lot to look forward to with the new album and tour!

Megadeth and Slayer headline Canadian Carnage tour

admin

To all the metal-heads: Megadeth and Slayer are embarking on a short Canadian tour, beginning on June 24th at GM place in Vancouver! The Canadian Carnage Tour is an exclusive four-show trip that will play in Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary, and Winnipeg; the entire schedule lasting less than a week! Not only are these two major metal bands headlining, but they are also accompanied by Machine Head and Suicide Silence! Both the Megadeth Fanclub and Ticketmaster presales have already begun, so your chances of scoring tickets officially begin on May 2nd at 10AM.

Megadeth have been rocking the world since lead singer and guitarist Dave Mustaine formed the band in 1983, and since then have acheived unimaginable success, selling close to twenty million albums worldwide, and headlining countless cross-country and world tours, garnering them the status of true metal legends by music aficionados. The opportunity to see Megadeth alongside Slayer, another big name in the metal world, will be an incredible experience, improved upon only by the abilites of Machine Head (who have been in the rock world since 1992) and the younger upstarts, Suicide Silence, who released their first full length album in 2007).

With the midway point of their European tour fast approaching, AC/DC still has the power to sell out stadiums – just look at their remaining shows in which only three of twenty-four venues still have tickets available, even three months in advance! AC/DC tickets for the Foxborough, MA show on July 28th have already gone on sale, as well as five others including the show in Tacoma, WA. Tickets for the show in Vancouver, BC on August 29th will go on sale April 18th, along with the majority of the remaining tour dates in both Canada and the U.S. Don’t miss out on this rare opportunity to see AC/DC on their return North American tour. With the European dates already selling out months in advance, these new dates won’t be far behind.

Hot off the heels of their own Black Ice World Tour, AC/DC returns to North America with brand new tour dates for the summer. Looking to continue the electrifying success of their tour that garnered them the “Major Tour of the Year” award at the 20th annual Pollstar Concert Industry Awards, AC/DC will begin with a show in Foxborough, MA at Gillette Stadium and will continue west across North America.

Riding on the success of Black Ice, their newest album and first in over 8 years, and having it become certified Double Platinum in the U.S., the group’s ability to put on an amazing show cannot be questioned.

Elton John & Billy Joel Face 2 Face Again

admin 1 Comment

The ‘piano men’ are set to share the stage again for a two-year world tourTwo of the world’s greatest musicians, songwriters and entertainers are back on tour! Elton John & Billy Joel’s Face 2 Face tour, named the most successful and longest-running concert pairing in pop history, is reuniting this March for a series of shows through 2009 and 2010.

The two piano men first toured together in 1994, and then again in 2003, where they saw a string of 24-dates sell out immediately. With a mutual admiration for each other, it’s clear to see why these two legends are able to share the stage.

John & Joel are set to open the concerts with a series of duets, playing twin pianos and sharing vocal duties before each artist takes to the stage with their own band to perform their individual sets. Then, in true showmanship fashion, the two legends return to the stage together for a grand finale encore. With a set list made up of both of the artists’ greatest hits and rock n’ roll classics, this is a concert sure to delight any music lover!

The Face 2 Face tour will crisscross North America off-and-on as John finishes his hit show, The Red Piano, at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas in April. More 2009 dates are still to be announced, along with international dates for 2010.

Hopefully a Vancouver date will be announced soon. This is one show I CANNOT miss!!!
