Steely Dan adds American dates to summer tour

admin

Steely Dan has announced new dates to be added to their “Rent Party ’09 Tour,” which is set to kick off on June 11th in Durham, NC, and continue through the summer with a brief European leg in the middle. The band has added a total of 11 new shows to their tour, extending the string of concerts until its closing night in Detroit, MI on September 6th.

Steely Dan has the standard single-night shows planned, but on top of those, they have “Classic Album (Plus)” nights that will take place in Boston, New York, Universal City, and Chicago. These nights will have the band playing some of their classic albums in their entirety in addition to other Steely Dan favorites, and will be played over multiple dates at the same venue.

Lastly, the band will include a “Takin’ It to the Seats” Internet Request Night where the setlist will be dictated by the number of requests from fans online prior to the date.

Snow Patrol coming to North America, opening for Coldplay

admin 1 Comment

It was just recently announced that Snow Patrol would be making their way to North America, taking a break from their European tour, to open for Coldplay throughout most of their June leg of the summer tour, beginning in Indianapolis on June 5th. This comes as big news to Snow Patrol fans who have been wanting a chance to see the band live — Snow Patrol has been touring across Europe as of late and would not have returned to North America until September 12th, where they currently have seven shows lined up for the fall.

Many fans have expressed a lot of excitement in the wake of this news, even going so far as to say they are looking forward to the opening act more than they are to Coldplay. If that is the case, fans better act fast as Coldplay tickets have been on sale for over a month, and a band of that magnitude will surely sell out, if they haven’t already. Coldplay finishes their first leg of the North American tour in Vancouver, with two shows in GM Place on June 20th and 21st, which also happen to be the closing dates for Snow Patrol as the opening act.

Kings of Leon World Tour underway!

admin

Following their amazing sold-out performance at the Madison Square Garden in New York, Kings of Leon are currently touring the United States to promote their newest album Only By The Night from which their lead single “Sex On Fire” has lit up the Billboard “Modern Rock” chart for nine weeks and counting. Once finished with their current North American leg of the tour, they will head over to Europe and play in a number of shows in the UK, Germany, Scotland and others, before returning back to North America.

Response has been huge in Vancouver when the Kings of Leon tickets officially went on sale today; they will be playing on August 15th at GM Place to a soon-to-be sold out crowd.

Plenty of their shows are sold out, although most of the dates still have tickets available. However, with a band as popular as these guys have gotten, that won’t last for long; after winning the 2009 Grammy for best rock performance by a group, their continued success has yet to show signs of slowing.
The tour — which has 45 stops left — will continue until September 14th when they play their last show in Uniondale, New York.
