NEW TOURS ON SALE: Norah Jones & M. Ward, Roger Waters, Tapes N Tapes



ARCADE FIRE

Hallelujah, I knew the 5-night stand at a teeny tiny church in NY that kicks off tonight couldn't possibly be the only opportunity to catch Arcade Fire this year! And no, you don't have to go all the way to Coachella, either. Though I heartily recommend that you do. Enough with the all this yammering, here are the tour dates announced thus far. Not quite sure when they'll go on sale. But I'll be keeping an eye out, cuz you can bet your @$$ I'm not going to go without when they sell out in the first 5 minutes, again. Nosiree. Not this time!

It seems the first round of tickets will go on sale starting 2/17. In the meantime, here are a few interesting tidbits re: what we can expect from the tour plus the itinerary, courtesy of LiveDaily:

The first set will feature an overview of Waters' musical career, including selections from throughout his run as Pink Floyd's primary songwriter and songs from his solo album "Amused to Death."
