Concerts

Earlier this month, the North Dakota State Fair began announcing their grandstand shows, which seemed very country-heavy. Luckily, they just decided to wait a while before they announced the rock shows and today...they let the cat out of the bag!

Indiana University has an elite basketball program and Huey Lewis is everywhere. 2013 may feel like 1983 beginning next week, when Huey Lewis and the News begin a celebration of the 30th anniversary of 'Sports,' their historic, multi-platinum album featuring many of their best-known hits. A tour is set to begin in May.

Few schools can land this type of lineup for a benefit show: Robby Krieger from the Doors, Tommy Thayer and Eric Singer from Kiss, Sebastian Bach, and Warrant guitarist Joey Allen. Alice Cooper will headline the Thursday night concert to celebrate the Brennan Rock & Roll Academy in Sioux Falls, S.D. It's just one day of an almost week's worth of headliners.

Cheap Trick and Pat Benatar + Neil Giraldo will be teaming up for a run of US concert dates this summer, in what should prove to be a can't miss evening.

American alt-rock duo Local H have been forced to cancel a number of U.S. tour dates due to a physical attack on frontman Scott Lucas, which left the musician with serious throat injuries. Following a show in Moscow, Russia, last month, Lucas was the victim of a mugging, which left the frontman with no phone, wallet, cash and passport, along with no voice after being choked unconscious.

The rock and roll machine known as ZZ Top are heading back to the US for another round of concerts in support of their new album 'La Futura.' The tour kicks off May 2 and runs through the 25th.

If you've been hoping to catch the Eagles on tour this summer, you just might be in luck -- if you're willing to drive to see them. The legendary California rockers have announced a limited number of shows for their 'History of the Eagles' tour, which will kick off July 6 in Louisville, Ky. and wrap up in Bethel, N.Y. on July 25.

Billy Idol has added 19 dates to his summer 2013 itinerary. The 'White Wedding' singer was previously announced as a Bonnaroo performer, and now he's scheduled shows across the country around that June 15 date in Tennessee. Tickets for many of the dates go on sale this Friday (March 22).

Festival season just got a great new addition, as a number of top rock bands will add San Antonio to their itinerary in late May. The inaugural Bud Light River City Rockfest will take place on the grounds of the AT&T Center in San Antonio on May 26th with Guns N' Roses and Alice in Chains serving as the day's headliners.

North American Black Sabbath fans have been waiting a long time to see the band return to our many fine arenas, and their patience will soon be rewarded.
