Hitting the Road
by Hunter HaukA glance at the biggest concert tours coming to
North America this summer.
MOST POPULAR
For the sad sacks who didn’t catch U2’s 360 Tour the last time around, the Irish giants are returning for another leg (www .u2.com). Then groove to the eclectic tunes of legendary jam band
Dave Matthews Band (www.davematthewsband.com).
MOM’S NIGHT OUT
We’ll see if Michael Buble’s seductive qualities translate in large arenas when his tour arrives stateside this month (www.michaelbuble.com). Longtime folk collaborators
James Taylor and
Carole King double up for a blockbuster outing (www.jamestaylor.com).
COUNTRY LIVIN’
Hit-making duo Brooks & Dunn are calling it quits after their Last Rodeo tour, so get in one final boot scoot while you still can (www.brooks-dunn.com). Then check out the Zac Brown Band, whose
Grammy win for Best New Artist will have them pickin’ and grinnin’ (www.zacbrownband.com).
I LOVE THE ’80s
Get your brood on at a Depeche Mode show (www.depechemode.com). Or obnoxiously belt out “Livin’ on a Prayer” as rockers Bon Jovi zigzag the continent (www.bonjovi.com).
THIS ONE’S FOR THE LADIES
You’ll see big crowds and even bigger costume designs at the arena tours of Lady Gaga (www.ladygaga.com) and Rihanna (www.rihannanow.com). But you’ll find more variety at the long-awaited second outing of Lilith Fair, featuring
Sarah McLachlan,
Sheryl Crow, Heart and many more (www.lilithfair.com).
