Green Day is currently undertaking a world tour with Jimmy Eat World. It's the classic punkers at their finest; if you like big venues, go see one of the better tours of 2005.
American Idol was a huge hit this summer, in part due to its potent double-punch strategy -- a contest on Tuesday night, immediately followed up with the results on Wednesday. Now American Idol is using a similar double-punch structure on a grander scale by following up the successful TV series with an immediate concert tour of the top ten contestants.
A reunion of unimaginable awesomeness took place onstage as All Four Original Members of Asia performed, and 25 years melted away in the "heat of the moment".
Unlike the concerts of some pop idols, Lavigne doesn't have to resort to lip synching to wow her audiences. Her voice is pure and powerful, making her one of the few artists who has the ability to emote emotion not only through her lyrics but also through the soaring tone with which she can carry a note.
Fall Out Boy's headlining tour with Gym Class Heroes, The Academy Is, Silverstein and special guest Paramore left more than a few fans walking away with their dancing shoes on. While I caught this tour toward the tail end, it's still one of my favorites, despite some flaws.
Some months ago I heard the news on the radio that Jerry Seinfeld was coming to Montreal to do a concert.

Jimmy Eat World's stop in Fort Lauderdale was a sight to see, and left an impression on all involved. This is one live act you can't afford to miss. The concert also featured Reuben's Accomplice and Elefant.

Ever since the release of the smash hit single, "Harder To Breathe", and the success of their debut album, "Songs About Jane", Maroon 5 has been one of the hottest acts in the music industry. A rock band on the surface, Maroon 5 has an R&B core that defines their unique sound.
Whether you go into one of McLachlan's concerts as a casual fan (like I did) or as one of her most devoted followers, you will undoubtedly come away with a deeper appreciation for her music and her immense vocal talent.
Spitalfield and Gatsbys American Dream are worth the price of admission for this 5 week summer tour alone. They've also brought along the Down To Earth Approach and fellow Victory Records band Action Action.
It was a bit incongruous to see Contemporary Christian Music artist Steven Curtis Chapman come out on a stage that was surrounded by huge Miller Lite beer banners, but Jesus Christ was front-and-center for this spirit-filled evening of song and testimony.
11 years in the making, Warped Tour looks for its best season yet. While there's an obvious lack of beef in the headlining acts, the supporters more than make it worth the price of admission.
