tour

Three Days Grace is ready to release their new album, Human, on March 31st, and they've been riding high with the success of both 'Painkiller', and 'I Am Machine' over the last year. To get Grand Rapids ready for the new album, Brad called in to talk to me about the new album, how the songs got written, and how touring affected the songs:

The 3-piece early version of the band has been touring and recording again for the last few years, but the question that's probably been haunting them the whole time has been: "When are you going to do COC with Pepper again?"

After going over so well last year, Kid Rock is bringing back $20 concert tickets on the "$20 Best Night Ever" Tour this summer. So far, he's announced 36 shows, with six stops at DTE Energy Music Theatre in Clarkston, near his hometown of Detroit.

Nothing More has had a big year or so, with the release of their self-titled album, and they've come all the way from San Antonio to visit us a few times in the last year! They even played paintball with some GRD winners last summer!

Five Finger Death Punch is already back in the studio, working on the new album, that should be out before the end of the year! "The Wrong Side of Heaven and Righteous Side of Hell" came out in 2013, but the band has been focused on continuing to write new music and now slow things down. They're working on the new album now, will either finish it before their April/May tour in the U.S.

The Trans-Siberian Orchestra show is a fantastic experience for the holidays, and features amazing musicians, a stunning spectacle...and a cash COW! The traveling experience grossed a whopping $52 MILLION in 52 days, from November 13th through January 4th! The two touring shows (one east coast, one west) brought in $1 MILLION A DAY, played for almost a million fans, and donated more than a million

Linkin Park has a huge sound on tour, and there's a lot of stuff going on, and sometimes I wonder how bands get everything sounding the way they do live.   That's why I love these cool behind the scenes videos you can find on YouTube These videos go behind the scenes for Linkin Park's new tour, with the front of house sound guy and the monitor engineer -- the two guys responsible for everything th

Wayland came back home for a series of shows this past week, culminating in a fantastic charity event at Yankee Springs Golf Course, to raise money for the Wayland High School music program on Saturday night! The guys hit the stage with the same energy they always do, and the crowd gave it right back, singing along and having a great time all night, as Wayland ripped through a full set of songs. R
