Beyonce Tour

Source: stagefronttickets.com

Beyonce is touring this summer! She has titled her summer tour “The Beyonce Experience.” And if that wasn’t exciting enough, she also has Robin Thicke opening for her! Beyonce has recently released her solo sophomore C.D. “B’Day” which she released on her 25th birthday. For someone so young, she already has a lot of experience behind her as well as the awards to back it up. As a solo artist, she has received 10 Grammy Awards and the Songwriter of the Year Award from the American Society of Composers, Publishers, and Authors, and that is not including all of the awards she won as a member of Destiny’s Child, and her Golden Globe nomination for Dreamgirls. Robin Thicke is also no stranger to success. He taught himself to play the piano at the age of 12. By 16, he was writing music for and producing albums for successful artists such as Mary J. Blige and Brian McKnight, just to name a few. Many of the albums he wrote for and produced have already reached multi- gold and platinum status. You can get your tickets to see these amazing performers from us very soon. Check back early and often so you don’t miss out on the seats of your dreams!

Reunited Police begin world tour

Source: ticketblogger.blogspot.com

VANCOUVER, British Columbia (Reuters) - Playing loud and loose like they had never been away, the Police kicked off their first world tour in more than 20 years on Monday, delivering a two-hour set for 20,000 fans in Canada.

Singer/bass player Sting, guitarist Andy Summers and drummer Stewart Copeland dusted off old favorites such as "Message in a Bottle," "Roxanne" and "Every Breath You Take" during the show, the first of two at the GM Place arena.

"Since we haven’t been together in 25 years, I’d like to introduce the band. Andy, this is Stewart," a casual Sting joked a few songs into the concert.

Famous fans in attendance included actress Penelope Cruz, and Pearl Jam rock singer Eddie Vedder. Sting’s wife, Trudie Styler, sang along ecstatically from her seventh-row berth, accompanied by Jerry Moss, the co-founder of the Police’s A&M Records label.

The tour unofficially kicked off the night before when the band played a dress rehearsal for about 4,000 members of its fan club. The Police have been rehearsing for about four months, after Sting decided the time was right for a reunion and called up his old bandmates.

The band broke up amid clashing egos in 1984, after the last date of its Synchronicity world tour in Australia, but it reunited for a handful of dates benefiting Amnesty International in 1986.

Sting went on to even greater fame and fortune as a solo artist delving into the pop, rock, jazz and even classical genres, while Copeland focused on composing for film and television, and Summers explored his jazz roots with various projects.

Monday’s show began with the early hit "Message in a Bottle," an ode to loneliness drawn from the band’s second album, 1979’s "Reggatta de Blanc." Six songs came from their final album, 1983’s "Synchronicity," which topped the U.S. charts for 17 weeks.

Tunes such as "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic" and "Walking on the Moon" recalled the band’s early reggae stylings, while the evening’s final song, "Next To You," served as a reminder of its punk-rock roots.

The stage was a simple affair, a split-level oval floor unencumbered by proscenium or backdrop. The special effects were limited to a retractable percussion setup used by the energetic Copeland on several songs.

The world tour is scheduled to end early next year, following two North American legs, a European tour, and dates throughout Latin America, Japan, Australia and New Zealand.

The band’s plans beyond that are the subject of some internal disagreement. Summers recently told Guitar Player magazine that the "obvious thing" to do would be to make another album and then return to the road.

But Copeland told Reuters last week that he had no desire right now to do those things, and was simply looking forward to having "a blast for one year."

Kenny Chesney

Source: stagefronttickets.com

I think Kenny Chesney is turning into this generation’s Jimmy Buffett. Although Chesney is a country artist, his songs are about real people having good times. He often reflects back on his high school and college years, as well as singing about love, life, heartache, family, and small hometowns. I see his Buffett-like quality in what I call his “beach” songs. Although he has quite a few in his repertoire about beaches, he also has songs about drinking and having a good time. It’s the type of music you listen to when you’re driving to the beach, and the type of music you want to hear when you’re on the beach, hence “beach” music. Since “parrothead” is already taken, what do you think Kenny’s followers should be called? Palmheads might work. Well, get your tickets to see Kenny perform live and make the decision for yourself.

American Idol Summer Tour

Source: stagefronttickets.com

American Idol, now in its sixth season, is one of the most watched shows in television. This summer, the final ten contestants will go on a full-fleged U.S. summer tour! You have the chance to see your favorite Idols perform live onstage! Didn’t vote for the winner? That’s okay, it seems like you don’t have to win the show to get a contract. Although Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood have done well for themselves, the other winners haven’t fared so well. Taylor Hicks has been reduced to car commercials, while Daughtry has one of the best selling rock albums. Then there’s Clay Aiken with his menagerie of Claymates, while Ruben Studdard has almost disappeared. The show has been getting a lot of hype because the singers aren’t as talented as they’ve been in the past. However, I think the summer concert may show some of the weaker performers in a new light. Think about it this way, while the Idols on the show are technically performing in front of millions of viewers, there live studio audience is pretty small. Plus they only have to be on top of their game two nights a week. This is a live tour they’re going on. The live audiences will be much bigger, and they will have to be perfect almost every night in a row for about three months. This may be the true test of musical talent. The tour kicks off in July in Florida and ends in New Hampshire in September. Visit the American Idol page for full venue and date details!
