Grabbed tickets for Judas Priest in April. It's so refreshing to get seats close to the stage and NOT have to pay an arm and leg.

SAMMY HAGAR, MICHAEL ANTHONY, JASON BONHAM And JOE SATRIANI Announce 'The Best Of All Worlds' 2024 Tour

Rock And Roll Hall Of Famer Sammy Hagar is embarking on the long-awaited "The Best Of All Worlds" 2024 tour. Hagar will be joined by rock heavyweights and longtime bandmates Michael Anthony (bass, backing vocals),Jason Bonham (drums) and revealed on Nov 14 on SiriusXM's "The Howard Stern Show"...

Sammy Hagar is doing a tour with set lists that are predominantly Van Halen songs with Joe Satriani, who was allegedly the guy that they wanted for the EVH Tribute tour with the other surviving members.

Van Halen drama didn’t die with Eddie.

His website has a header listing the songs that will be performed during the tour. There’s no “Dreams” (which he can’t really sing anymore so when he does it live it’s a wussy acoustic version that he sings in a lower register), “Love Walks In” or “Can’t Stop Lovin’ You” which are my three favorite Van Hagar tracks. They do list “5150” which is #4. But I’m going to be skipping this. If it came to Bethel Woods I’d probably go but it’s not. I should have seen VH in 2004 but I didn’t have any money then.

If it were in Boston, Bangor or New Hampshire, I’d strongly consider going but Mansfield, MA is a pain in the butt to get to.

Looking forward to Fred Durst and Corey Feldman joining together for their rendition of "N 2Gether Now".

I won’t be going to the Bethel Woods show but I think this is the first nu-metal act to play there. Big breakthrough for the region imo.

P!NK and Sheryl Crow announce 2024 "Summer Carnival Tour"

P!NK has announced 2024 dates for her Summer Carnival Tour.

I wish Fenway had gotten Sheryl Crow as P!nk’s main support last summer. We got Pat Benatar! I’d already seen her!

 

[Fall of Epic]

NYC got Brandi Carlisle and she was actually pretty good. Her and P!nk did a cover of No One Compares 2 U together.

Speaking of Fenway concerts.

If I am Heart, I am not psyched that I ended near family destroying beef to play 3rd billing to Def Leppard and Journey. Maybe it is more money playing third bill to a stadium tour than headlining amphitheaters. Idk classic rock economics as well as @BUTT

 

[BUTT]

NYC is getting Steve Miller rather than Heart, so I have little interest, but even if I did I wouldn’t go all the way to Citi Field. Journey is playing Wilkes-Barre in the spring so I’ll see them then.

Alright ladies.

Jerry Harrison & Adrian Belew’s Talking Heads tribute coming to Portland in August…heck yes.

 

[Fall of Epic]

It's also the 30th Anniversary of Dookie and 20th anniversary of American Idiot.

Green Day announced today that they're playing both albums in full each night on this tour. I hope that includes "All By Myself".

Friend grabbed us tickets for Pixies and Modest Mouse in June. I saw Pixies back in 2017 and they were awesome. Never seen MM.

 

[Fall of Epic]

Rob Zombie and Alice Cooper are hitting the road together this summer AGAIN. What was really intriguing is that they're bringing the same exact openers (Ministry and Filter) as their tour last year.

Stupid question: how often do headliners get repeat openers on their tours?

I got tickets to MM about 7 or 8 years ago but sold them after seeing the setlists from some of the early dates. I don't think they were even promoting an album, either, so it's not like they were obligated to play only "new" shit.

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

Pearl Jam's got an album coming out in April and a world tour starting in May.

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

Damn, waitlisted for tix

 

[AA484]

Damn, waitlisted for tix

Waitlisted for a show... I wonder if they'll do another leg

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

Tour goes through the end of Nov, so prob not.

Weezer is doing a Blue Album 30th Anniversary tour with the Flaming Lips and Dinosaur Jr as openers.

Of course, they are coming to Boston on a Tuesday in September, which is just about the worst day for a concert that isn’t Christmas or Thanksgiving. Latter two, at least I’d have the day off…

Oddly perfect pairing. Lead singer with none of his original band mates and a band with all of their original members except their lead singer .

Not sure if this should’ve gone in this thread, the butt rock thread, or the classic rock that fuckin’ sucks thread.

Grabbed tickets for Judas Priest in April. It's so refreshing to get seats close to the stage and NOT have to pay an arm and leg.

So this was pretty good. Halford was noticeably slower (he's in his 70s, it's understandable) but goddamn, what a showman. The band is still pretty tight too.

 

[Big Papa Paegan]

My last concert was Suffocation's Farewell Frank tour in 2018 (support from Soreption, Krisiun, and Cattle Decapitation).

6 years later, Suffocation is opening for Morbid Angel, with a date in Nashville on 11/17.

Lads...I think it's time I get the fuck out.

 

[Fall of Epic]

Took advantage of concert week this year and nabbed super cheap tickets to Deep Purple and Yes in September!

 

[tekcop]

Going to see Chat Pile tomorrow. I enjoy listening to them, but I'm starting to think I'm too old for this stuff. The show doesn't start until 8. Has no one considered my bed time?

I noticed Megadeth is going to be here in September. I know Dave's a real POS, but they're still possibly my favorite thrash metal band. Is it time to finally give Dave Mustaine my money? What does modern Megadeth even sound like?

 

[Fall of Epic]

I saw Megadeth in 2016 and enjoyed them a bunch. If you haven't seen them, I would roll the dice.

It is a “see them before they keel over” type of year.

I got tickets for my girlfriend and me to see Jon Anderson from Yes on her birthday in June.

Seeing Jerry Harrison and Adrien Belew’s Talking Heads tribute in August.

And I paid a buttload to see Willie Nelson’s Outlaw Music Festival with Bob Dylan and John Mellencamp co-headlining in September.

 

[tekcop]

It is a “see them before they keel over” type of year.

It is! We went to Little Rock a couple of months ago to see Stevie Nicks. I was a bit concerned about how a 75 year old singer would perform, but she was actually really good.

Cat Power is on that tour, correct? I'm planning to see her perform her Bob Dylan tribute in September.
