The Police are planning one final tour this summer in North America and Europe, after this it’s all over.

The Police will play mostly amphitheaters, with a few arenas, as opposed to last year’s stadium tour (which was great, but the sound in certain stadiums just sound like garbage) …read more

See, I told you so last week in Scott Weiland Back In Rehab.
Anyways, this was a wise decision, Scott needs to get better first. It was …read more

The Deal sister’s will be kicking off a rather lengthy tour after the band’s performance at this year’s Coachella Festival on April 25.
The band will be on the road in support of their latest album Mountain Battles, which comes out on April 8. This is pretty much the first tour that the band has done in like over decade, not including some live shows in 2001-2002. And, Mountain Battles is the first album that the band has recorded since 2001’s Title TK, so probably catching one of their shows and/or the new album could be a good idea.
