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.

The Tragically Hip begin tour next week

admin

The Hip are back at it again, hitting the road to promote their newest release, We Are the Same, beginning on April 27 in their home province of Ontario. They are scheduled to play 56 shows over a five month period across North America, even playing several locations multiple times to give their fans the opportunity to catch the show. The Tragically Hip tickets have already gone on sale for all of the scheduled dates, up to the final show in Hamilton, Ontario on October 2, and so far ticket sales have been strong — in one instance, the band has added a sixth show to the Massey Hall in Toronto after the original five sold out.

Gord Downie, lead singer for The Tragically Hip, will no doubt put on a great show for fans as he leads the band through their sometimes improvisational onstage performances. I have heard word-of-mouth reviews that speak highly of Downie’s “flamboyant” style of dance that sees him hopping and skipping across the stage. Whether you’re a fan of his dancing or not, Gord Downie and the rest of his multi-award winning band are set to entertain and show their fans why their newest released album is their eigth release to debut at #1 on Canada’s charts!

After having released their twelfth studio album, No Line on the Horizon, in February of this year, U2 will be embarking on a World Tour beginning on June 30, 2009 as they travel Europe for six months on the first leg of the U2 360° Tour, then continue on with the North American leg on September 12th. Tickets for the previously pre-sale only shows have just gone on sale and have already begun to break sales records; as of mid-April the tour has already surpassed 2.5 million tickets sold. Individual venues continued to set records as the Rose Bowl in Los Angeles sold-out at 90,000 tickets, becoming the fastest selling and largest attended concert to play at that location in history!

Tour stops across North America continued the trend of outstanding sales, with the stop at Vancouver’s BC Place reaching a staggering 57,000 tickets sold, on par with the shows in Washington and Boston. Close to half of the shows on this World Tour have already sold out, with the other locations not far behind. The tour will begin on June 30th in Barcelona, where the band will continue to travel Europe for the next two and a half months before crossing the pond and landing in Chicago to kick off the North American portion of the tour on September 12th. From there they will travel west for the next month and a half hitting up all the major cities across the continent. Be sure to check the listings below for the show nearest you!

Tickets for AC/DC’s Return North American Tour Now Available!

admin

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. With stops in most major Canadian cities, there is little reason to miss out on a concert like this.

I’ve been… Thunderstruck!

admin
I crossed another band off my list.

After 7 years, AC/DC finally made their way back to Vancouver on their “Black Ice” tour. Luckily for me, my friend was one of the seemingly few people able to secure tickets in the original onsale, and even luckier for me, she scored a pair on FLOOR ROW 16 SEATS! Only once before was I ever able to get floor seats and never imagined I’d be able to do it again for AC/DC and be only 10 feet away from the legendary Angus Young!
