Rock band Daughtry will embark on an intimate US club tour this summer, and for the first time they’ll be performing new material from the band’s upcoming sophomore album, Leave This Town.
“This club tour is a thank you to our loyal fans,” frontman Chris Daughtry said in a press release. “It’s a great way for them to see us up close and at a cheap price.”
According to a press release, a more comprehensive North American tour is slated for this fall..
Phish, which made its name in part by playing multiple sets during extravagant multi-day festivals, is preparing to do it again over Halloween weekend.
A splash page displayed on Phish’s website reads, “Save the Date … A 3-day festival 10/30, 10/31, 11/01.”
The location of the festival hasn’t been announced, but rumors are circulating that the event will take place at Empire Polo Club in Indio, CA, where the Coachella and Stagecoach festivals take place.
We’ll keep you updated with more information as it becomes available! If it’s anything like the Coventry shows back in 2004, this is sure to sell out quick!

Sources have confirmed that Michael Jackson has died. He was 50 years old.
Jackson suffered a cardiac arrest earlier this afternoon at his Holmby Hills home and paramedics were unable to revive him. We’re told when paramedics arrived Jackson had no pulse and they never got a pulse back.
Once at UCLA hospital, the staff tried to resuscitate him, but he was completely unresponsive.
Our prayers go out to his family..

Journey have added about a dozen new dates to their US tour. The tour, which gets underway in mid-July, now spans through the end of September.
Led by new lead singer Arnel Pineda, Journey continues to back last year’s Revelation, a triple-disc package that features one set of 11 re-recorded hits sporting Pineda’s vocals, one collection of new material, and one DVD of the group’s March 2008 performance at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas.
Tim McGraw has lined up a summer tour schedule heavy on traditional fair and festival outings, as he waits for his record label to set a release date for his 12th studio album. McGraw had hoped to issue a new studio album last fall, but his label (Curb Records) opted to go with “Greatest Hits Volume 3″ in order to “extend McGraw’s recording contract,” a move that upset the singer.
“I am saddened and disappointed that my label chose to put out another hits album instead of new music,” the country singer said in a prepared statement issued in October . “I’ve only had one studio album since my last hits package. It has to be just as confusing to the fans as it is to me. I had no involvement in the creation or presentation of this record. Sure, I love the songs and I don’t want to take anything away from all the creative people who were a part of making those records. But the whole concept is an embarrassment to me as an artist.”
