What concerts are you looking forward to this year?

[77Rumours77]

So what concerts are you getting pumped to see... I know I have quite a few!

The Police
Boston (If the tour ever goes through)
Stevie W/ Chris
Van Halen w/ Roth
Dave Matthews Band
Rage Against The Machine
Aerosmith... MUCH LATER in the year, maybe last show of '07?

Ironically, none of these bands have posted official US dates..... Just rumours!

and I know there are a few more I am looking forward to seeing.

Also, I bet only 1 (if any) make it to Wichita this year. I would be shocked if more than one did.

[JazmenFlowers]

Stevie Nicks
Tori Amos
Sarah Brightman
Justin Timberlake
Christina Aguilera

[foxyluva]

Well, since its rare that anyone decent comes to NZ - probably none.

[danax6]

Hm, well...

Stevie in Vegas
Bob Dylan in Amsterdam
Hopefully The Police
Boudewijn de Groot in Belgium
I might go see Pearl Jam later this year in Arnhem.

And there are a lot of rumours going around about certain artists hitting Europe this summer. I hope they will all be part of a some big summer festival like Classic Werchter or Rock Werchter...artists like David Bowie, Bruce Springsteen, Eric Clapton...those are all people I'd definitely go see if they have a show within a 3 hour vicinity.

[michaelD]

Summer concert season...

Police at Wrigley... HOPEFULLY!
Stevie, of course
Jimmy Buffett
Van Halen
Black Crowes (hopefully they will tour in '07!)

[Livia]

Stevie and Chris Isaak
Lindsey Buckingham
The Police
Van Halen (but only if the early reviews say they've still got it)
Boston would be cool to see - I've never seen them

I haven't really dug around to see who else is touring, but there's a ****load of cool bands playing SXSW this year...

[ryan8472]

The Police
The Killers
Justin Timberlake
Stevie
*GENESIS*.

[LikeAWillow]

[77Rumours77]

I didn't even know Genesis were touring this year! That would be awesome as too!!!!!

[77Rumours77]

Van Halen (but only if the early reviews say they've still got it)

Ya know, I feel the same way. I don't know how well I am going to feel now that they have a 15 or so year old in the band now...... And Roth..... Don't know how well I am going to feel about that either.

[ryan8472]

I didn't even know Genesis were touring this year! That would be awesome as too!!!!!

They're doing Europe this spring/summer, so they'll be here in the fall/winter. :nod:

As long as I hear Invisible Touch and Abacab I'll be happy. I'm one of those fans. :laugh:

[GardenStateGirlie]

[estranged4life]

Only one is Keith Urban/The Wreckers (Featuring Michelle Branch) since I will be ordering tickets in the morning for Deb.

[catinthedark]

the shins!!! i'm SO hoping they come to toronto - WITH viva voce supporting.

i'd go see lindsey if he comes to TO...

other than that... no one really. i will always go see imogen heap and cat power, but they both hit toronto last year (imogen twice).

oh, and duh. i will go see stevie if she comes anywhere within an 8-hour drive of toronto.

[goldustsongbird]

oh, and duh. i will go see stevie if she comes anywhere within an 8-hour drive of toronto.

When pigs fly. :rolleyes: :lol:


Concerts I'm looking forward to:
Cyndi Lauper
Lucinda Williams (maybe. with Carrie!)

That covers it. :laugh:

[ryan8472]

I would go see Imogen Heap again in a heartbeat. Her show was AWESOME. :nod:

[catinthedark]

When pigs fly. :rolleyes: :lol:


notice i didn't say "if she comes to toronto." when pigs fly, indeed. :(

but an 8-hour radius? for sure. how do you think i saw four SYW shows and stevie and don henley? :)

[goldustsongbird]

[macmar71]

Patty Griffin if she plays in CT or NYC, never seen her before and would love to.:thumbsup:

Lindsey for the third time on this tour/first time this year...can't resist him...hope he adds a new song or two to the set.

[estranged4life]

Well we'll be sitting next to the stage for the Keith Urban show in OKC on July 2nd, didnt want to sit floor level so we bought tickets to the section immediately next to the stage.

Hopefully Stevie Nicks or Lindsey Buckingham play nearby this Spring/Summer mainly to meet & antogonize some Ledgies

Possibilities:
Behemoth
Dream Theater
Van Halen
Guns 'N Roses

[trackaghost]

I've already seen Mark Lanegan & Isobel Campbell and Hawksley Workman this year so far.

Coming up I've got:

The Hold Steady
Arcade Fire
Andrew Bird
Midlake
Cat Power
Band Of Horses
Pearl Jam

And hopefully lots more...

[LikeAWillow]

When pigs fly. :rolleyes: :lol:


Concerts I'm looking forward to:
Cyndi Lauper
Lucinda Williams (maybe. with Carrie!)

That covers it. :laugh:

Cyndi's touring? Oh my, if she's around Pittsburgh, I'll definitely catch that.

[Sarah]

I can't think of anyone other than Lindsey, and some various musicians and bands I know locally.

There really aren't a lot of touring artists that appeal to me anymore. I really like electronic music, and that's a different kind of experience.

If Portishead actually finishes an album this year, I'm crossing my fingers big time for some USA shows. They've only played here one time. It's funny.. I always thought I'd live my whole life and never see a Lindsey solo show or a Portishead show. And here's Lindsey. Maybe I'll get to see P one of these days, too. I probably wouldn't need to go to any other concerts ever, because my life would be complete.

[goldustsongbird]

Cyndi's touring? Oh my, if she's around Pittsburgh, I'll definitely catch that.

Yep, apparently with Debbie Harry (!!) and Erasure. Starts in June, according to her blog... She didn't name cities, but if it's anywhere near me, I am so freakin' there.

[foxyluva]

Seriously! I hope she comes my way. I would die.

[foxyluva]

You've got a better shot than me - there is no ****ing chance they would come my way :(

[mikeschmike]

A tour with Debbie Harry :eek: I would kill to see that!

Seriously! I need details of this. Immediately.

[goldustsongbird]

If she shows up in or near Toronto, you, me, Carrie and anyone else who wants to go are haulin' ass. :D

Seriously! I need details of this. Immediately.

I know! I'm excited. She hasn't said much about it, aside from when it's starting. :shrug:

[foxyluva]

If she shows up in or near Toronto, you, me, Carrie and anyone else who wants to go are haulin' ass. :D


Of course! I just hope that its when Im there, or I will miss out :(

[Sarah]

Erasure tour?

Say what?

[goldustsongbird]

Erasure tour?

Say what?

http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1003543957

Erasure will debut new material this summer during the True Colors tour, which will also feature Cyndi Lauper, Blondie's Debbie Harry and the Gossip. "I feel like I'm in the company of these grand dames," says Bell of the outing, scheduled to begin in June in Seattle. From there, Erasure will play some headlining shows in North America then head to Europe. A gig at London's Royal Albert Hall is also in the works.

[UnwindedDreams]

Stevie Nicks-with and without Chris Isaak
Rod Stewart(2 more shows)
Pat Benatar
Heart
BTW...77Rumours...are you going to Europe to see Aero?

[UnwindedDreams]

You didn't mention my name...I told you I'd try for Casino Rama...:D Hopefully she plays near Jersey...

[goldustsongbird]

How cool is that a tour with Debbie Harry...this tour's going to be rolling in a lot of $$$ :nod:
Honestly, I'm not crazy about the tour title True Colors...but watever...there's also a new album coming out in April right?

yeah, I know! I was like, um, wasn't there already a True Colours tour? Cyndi, remember 1987? :rolleyes: At first she said the new album was slated for March, but I doubt that'll happen, so my bets are on April/May.

Especially you and me - we'll drink the place dry :laugh:

They'll have to declare prohibition. :lol:

[Nicks Fan]

I would love to see

1) ERASURE
2) THE EAGLES
3) STEVIE
4) LB
5) KEITH URBAN

That is all I can think of

Matt

[UnwindedDreams]

Oh my goodness. :shocked: I wonder when the dates will be announced. I want to go.

I would like to see Erasure do some ABBA-esque. I will never get to see ABBA, but that would help me live with that fact a little easier. (Oh, ABBA. sigh.)

[ryan8472]

GENESIS (july)
[hope there doing "Jesus he knows me" Myself" and "Land Of Confusion"


Oh, they'll deff. do those ones. :nod:

I saw The Who in December and they rocked hardcore. Definitely see them. :D

ABBA > everyone.

[xdreamsunwindx]

I'm going to see The Lemonheads next week! I haven't been to a show in months. Read - a show that I will have to purchase a ticket to get into. I'm excited.

The only other one I'm definitely going to see is Lindsey. I have 2nd row tickets for his Pittsburgh show. I'm dying to go to SXSW, but that's completely out of the question, and I might have a gig around then as well. Also, there's a powerpop festival in NYC next month with Nikki Corvette, and The Riff Randells, which would be awesome.

If only these folks would add some dates near Pittsburgh..
The Stooges
Lucinda Williams
Cat Power
The Raveonettes
AC/DC
Hall & Oates
Heart
The Romantics
Cheap Trick

The Sirens, and the Gore Gore Girls are releasing new albums soon, too. So maybe they'll add some dates soon.

[Merf]

I've already seen Mark Lanegan & Isobel Campbell and Hawksley Workman this year so far.

Coming up I've got:

The Hold Steady
Arcade Fire
Andrew Bird
Midlake
Cat Power
Band Of Horses
Pearl Jam

And hopefully lots more...

I wish I lived in a real city. I'd kill to see Midlake. :(

However, traveling is still an option, so...

TV on the Radio (Boston 3/2)
Circa Survive
ARCADE FIRE (Asheville, NC 5/2)

Also, a bunch of bands are releasing albums this year....
Bloc Party
Modest Mouse
Bright Eyes
Rilo (****ing) Kiley (!!!)
Margot & the Nuclear So and So's
Whispertown2000
The New Pornographers
MIA
Voxtrot

and I plan to go see any and all that I can....

[xdreamsunwindx]

Rilo (****ing) Kiley (!!!)

I forgot about Rilo! I wasn't sure if they were planning any gigs this year, since they're in the studio, and Blenny had their respective solo tours, etc. I'd kill to see Rilo. I'd also have to kick some sceniebopper ass, but oh well. And I'd love to see The Arcade Fire, as well.

I also forgot that I'm going to see The Matches in a few weeks with a friend of mine. Should be fun.

[Merf]

Apparently, 06 was the year of the solo projects and 07 is the year of the Kiley, according to the lovely Blake. The album's pretty much done, supposedly (working with some LA producer). The album probably got pushed to the summer since Warner Bros. is releasing it and doesn't want to compete with publicity for all the other big time spring releases (Bright Eyes, Modest Mouse, Arcade Fire, etc) so I'm guessing late spring/early summer they will start touring. They're back to their band full time now. Morgan said they did a cover of one of Whispertown's songs, Goodbye Baby, and it's a "B side" which means it didn't make the album, which means they already know what's going to be on the album, in theory. Also one of my myspace friends plays horn for them and first week in February said he'd just put down a horn track for one of the new songs and apparently it's kick ass, and he hadn't heard the rest of the album but it should be like 10,000 kinds of amazing based on what he heard on that one song. Gah, I can't wait.

Kick that sceniebopper ass, Kate! I know you could do it. Don't worry, they'll tour this year. :) I just found out Arcade Fire is coming to Asheville like TODAY and I'm sort of freaking out about it. It's unhealthy.

[xdreamsunwindx]

Kick that sceniebopper ass, Kate! I know you could do it.

Well, I don't think it will be that hard. They don't eat much :)

I'm really, really excited about the Rilo. Thanks for all the info! I can only hope they play in our little rustbelt ****hole. & have fun at the Arcade Fire.

[77Rumours77]

BTW...77Rumours...are you going to Europe to see Aero?

Haha! I wish! They are coming to the US this fall/winter

[marc402]

Oh, they'll deff. do those ones. :nod:

I saw The Who in December and they rocked hardcore. Definitely see them. :D

trust me i will be the first in line to get ticket's for the who (literally the first cause i currently work at a ticketsellingpoint ;) )

[estranged4life]

I may add the Who to my list since they will be playing OKC on March 23 at the Ford Center.

[rbs3676]

I'm seeing Midlake next month at SXSW -- cant wait.

[Sarah]

ABBA > everyone.

I'm glad we're on the same page! :lol:

Listening to ABBA always makes me happy. Every song is a feel good song for me. Especially Lay All Your Love On Me.. because it's one of the best songs ever, ever. I am always so disappointed when it's over that I have to go back and play it again. heh.

[trackaghost]

I wish I lived in a real city. I'd kill to see Midlake. :(



Don't hate me, but I saw Midlake three times last year.
I'll keep my fingers crossed they'll play near you soon though!
They really are great live.

[trackaghost]

I'm seeing Midlake next month at SXSW -- cant wait.

I would love to go to SXSW! Who else is playing this year?

[DrummerDeanna]

I don't do concerts a whole lot...but this year it'd be great if I can catch a Stevie show.

Other than that? I was looking forward to Dolly Parton, who I will hopefully get to see this year!

[Livia]

I would love to go to SXSW! Who else is playing this year?

I'm going to start a SXSW thread soon...the big names haven't come out yet, but so far I'm stoked about:

Iggy Pop & The Stooges
Booker T and the MGs
Johnette Napolitano

Pete Townshend is the key note speaker. Don't know if he's performing yet, but his girlfriend is - Rachel Fuller. He's also a big fan of The Fratellis. Here's the first official list:

http://2007.sxsw.com/music/festival/

Rumours include another appearance by Morrissey, and a Nirvana reunion w/ Ben Kweller on vocals. I know, I can't picture that one either.

[AliceLover]

Hmm lets see

Lindsey (3 shows in March)
Stevie and Chris
The Killers

Hopefully the RHCP add another leg to their tour, I missed them when they were here. :(

[rbs3676]

Rumours include another appearance by Morrissey

You know that is just killing me...I just can't believe that lightning would strike twice. But he IS touring right around that time.
His performance at last years SXSW was his first in Austin after many cancelled dates in the past. And he was fabulous. I adore Morrissey...I hope he DOES play again this year.

Johnette, Iggy and Morrissey....how happy can you be? :lol:
