Following the Detroit celebration the tour wraps around the country, hitting arenas throughout the country with this first leg of the tour ending March 12th in Memphis, TN. This is just the beginning of a busy touring year for Kid Rock, who plans to add more dates later in the year. The headlining tour will also feature very special guest Jamey Johnson, whose new album “The Guitar Song” has been drawing rave reviews from fans and critics alike.

This tour comes in support of Kid Rock’s just released album “Born Free” which is being released amongst a flurry of promotion. After shaking up the European Music Awards in Madrid last week and the CMA Awards on November 10th, Kid Rock will appear on the live broadcast of the American Music Awards on Sunday, November 21st. A documentary titled “Kid Rock: Born Free” will start airing across MTV, Vh1, and CMT on November 16th, adding to the huge visibility leading up to the release provided by TNT and ESPN sports campaigns featuring the album’s first single, “Born Free.” The companion video to the song is already receiving accolades across the channels after debuting last week. The album, which will not be available via iTunes, will be available at all major retailers including Target, Wal-Mart, Meijer, Amazon, and FYE and also at, for the first time ever, non-traditional retailers Little Caesars, Radio Shack, and Boot Barn.

Kid Rock’s last album “Rock ‘N Roll Jesus,” released in 2007, debuted at #1 and stayed in the charts for 100 weeks, becoming the biggest selling Rock album of 2008. His hit single “All Summer Long” hit #1 in 8 countries and provided Kid Rock the opportunity to expand his huge touring base outside of America. Kid Rock has a unique ability to genre-hop, marking his territory everywhere. He hosted last year’s CMT Awards (whose ratings rose 19% over the previous year) and performed at events ranging from the Grammy’s to the VMAs, EMAs and CMAs to the Hip Hop Honors. He has performed for and visited troops overseas numerous times, and remains one of entertainments most vocal supporters of our soldiers abroad.

ALBUM FEATURES RECORD BREAKING GLOBAL HIT “WAKA WAKA (THIS TIME FOR AFRICA)”

SECOND SINGLE “LOCA” CLIMBING CHARTS

NEW YORK, Oct. 19 /PRNewswire/ — On the heels of the momentous success of “Waka Waka (This Time For Africa),” a sold out tour, and her newly released single “Loca,” Shakira releases her 9th album, Sale El Sol / The Sun Comes Out, through Epic Records today, October 19th.

Sale El Sol marks a return to the eclectic approach that defined Shakira’s music and established her unique sound and style. The album, which Entertainment Weekly calls an “eclectic, adventurous mix,” has three distinct, yet interwoven styles of sound that explore Shakira’s roots from a new perspective. There’s the romantic direction as found on songs such as “Antes de las Seis” and “Lo Que Mas”, reminiscent of the intensity of some of Shakira’s earlier ballads; a rock and roll vibe on “Devocion” and title track “Sale el Sol” which has Shakira revisiting her artistic roots; and a Latin, tropical flare blending sounds such as Merengue and Reggaeton on “Loca”, “Rabiosa” and “Addicted to You”.

Shakira’s new bilingual LP is “full of idiosyncratic crossovers and hybrids, often tied to very specific places,” as described by the New York Times. On the new album, Shakira found herself “going back to basics.” “I’m very excited about the new album, because it reminds me of different eras and stages of my career,” she said. “It’s been quite interesting making it as well, I’ve been reconnecting with myself and with my sensibility. It’s very introspective, but also very joyful.”

Though the album stems from from Shakira’s retrospective center, she also calls on the inspiration of other artists, bringing in Puerto Rican sensation, Residente, from Calle 13 on “Gordita” for a hip hop twist, and cover’s The XX’s “Islands.” The album also includes the hit single “Loca” featuring Dominican artist El Cata and UK phenomenon Dizzee Rascal (on the Spanish and English versions respectively). Both the “Loca” video and album have already reached #1 on Latin iTunes.

The disc also features Shakira’s worldwide smash “Waka Waka,” the theme song for the 2010 FIFA World Cup, which turned into a global phenomenon, reaching Number One in sixteen countries. It sold over two million singles, making it the biggest World Cup song ever released. The official video has seen over 200 million YouTube hits, making it the Number Four most watched video of all time and the Number Three most watched music video. The track was also the soundtrack to Shakira’s 1Goal campaign for universal education.

Sale el Sol is the next chapter after 2009′s critically-acclaimed, dance-oriented She Wolf, which was the long-awaited follow-up to 2005′s groundbreaking one-two punch comprised of Fijacion Oral, Volume 1 and Oral Fixation, Volume 2—a pair of albums which combined to sell over 12 million copies worldwide and secured the young Colombian-born singer’s place among pop music royalty.

Over the course of her career, Grammy winner Shakira has sold nearly fifty million albums. She has four of the twenty top-selling hits of the decade, more than any other artist—including 2006′s unforgettable “Hips Don’t Lie,” the biggest-selling single of the 21st Century, which reached the Number One spot in an astonishing 55 countries.

To get fans even more excited, JVC and Stone Temple Pilots recently posted a very special live video of the raucous hit single, “Between The Lines,” featured on the band’s blockbuster new album, “STONE TEMPLE PILOTS.” The clip, filmed live at their recent club appearance at New York City’s Gramercy Theatre, can be viewed at www.jvc.com/betweenthelines/.

Stone Temple Pilots — Scott Weiland, Dean DeLeo, Robert DeLeo, and Eric Kretz — will be bookending the impending trek with headline appearances at a pair of North American festies: Canada’s annual Rock On The Range on Saturday, August 7th at Winnipeg’s Canad Inns Stadium; and the Arizona Fall Frenzy ’10, slated for Friday, September 17th at Phoenix’ Tempe Beach Park. In addition, the band will headline the annual Rock ‘N Rev Festival in Sturgis, South Dakota on Wednesday, August 11th and 89.7 The River’s “River Riot 2010″ at Council Bluffs, Iowa’s Westfair Amphitheater on Saturday, August 14th.

“STONE TEMPLE PILOTS” — the Grammy Award-winning band’s first all-new collection in close to a decade — made an explosive Billboard 200 chart debut upon its May release, confirming the band’s status as the #1 rock ‘n’ roll band in the country. Produced by Stone Temple Pilots and mixed by Chris Lord-Alge (Green Day, Dave Matthews Band, My Chemical Romance), the album sees STP continuing to explore their enduring approach to music — melding big riffs, classic pop hooks, and the restless experimentalism of glam, punk, and psychedelia.

What’s more, “STONE TEMPLE PILOTS” has drawn copious critical acclamation, with Spin hailing the collection as “a heavy basher with big, snarling yet melodic choruses with a shot of nostalgia.” USA Today praised “the band’s signature mix of bluesy psychedelic guitar rock and Scott Weiland’s glam grunge wail,” while Rolling Stone commended the “twisty Led Zep-style guitar riffs from Dean DeLeo, throaty choruses and cool, unexpected flashes of Beatles psychedelia.”

The band’s new single, “Take A Load Off,” is set to impact at multi-format rock radio outlets everywhere later this month. A companion video is currently in production.

Having heralded “STONE TEMPLE PILOTS” with a rare club appearance at New York City’s Gramercy Theatre, the band spent their early summer making headline performances at a number of major US radio festivals. Stone Temple Pilots also made high-profile TV appearances on CBS’ Late Show with David Letterman and ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live and are set to perform on NBC’s Tonight Show with Jay Leno on July 29th.

“STONE TEMPLE PILOTS” follows Stone Temple Pilots’ previous Atlantic releases: their RIAA 8x-platinum debut, “CORE” (1992), the 6x-platinum “PURPLE”(1994), the double-platinum “TINY MUSIC… SONGS FROM THE VATICAN GIFT SHOP” (1996), the platinum-certified “No. 4″ (1999), the gold-certified “SHANGRI-LA DEE DA” (2001), and the greatest hits CD/DVD anthology, “THANK YOU” (2003).

A dominant force in rock music since the early ’90s, Stone Temple Pilots proved one of the most accomplished and iconic bands of their generation, racking up 15 Billboard Top 10 singles — 6 of which hit #1 — and total sales in excess of 35 million albums worldwide. The California-based band went on hiatus in 2002, following the release of the critically acclaimed “SHANGRI-LA DEE DA,” ultimately reuniting for a massive 2008 concert tour encompassing more than 65 dates across North America.

Among their many accolades, Stone Temple Pilots received a “Best Hard Rock Performance with Vocal” Grammy Award for their #1 Mainstream Rock smash, “Plush.” Other honors bestowed upon the band over the years include additional Grammy award nominations, two American Music Awards, one Billboard Music Award, two Billboard Video Awards, and an MTV Video Music Award.

NEW YORK, New York –(Marketwire) – Jason Mraz has announced details of his upcoming North American tour. The Atlantic recording artist kicks off on September 11th at Bangor, Maine’s Bangor Waterfront and then continues through early October (see itinerary below).

In tandem with his own tour, Mraz will also be making a series of additional appearances, including a September 12th headline performance at the Life is Good Festival 2010 in Canton, Massachusetts. The Grammy Award-winning tunesmith will also join his longtime pals Dave Matthews Band for a pair of shows at Chicago’s world famous Wrigley Stadium on September 17th and 18th.

Having spent much of the past few months in the studio working on his next studio album, Mraz scheduled the upcoming itinerary as a way of getting fans’ response to some of his new material. Moreover, the San Diego-based troubadour wanted to take the opportunity to visit a number of markets missed by his previous North American tour: “Even though we performed 250 shows all around the world in 2008 and 2009, I still got emails and Facebook messages from fans whose hometowns we missed,” said Mraz. “When I found out I had some time off, I called up the band and said, ‘Let’s get to some of these places.’” Support for most dates on the trek will come from acclaimed singer/songwriter — and fellow Atlantic recording artist — Robert Francis. Also Christina Perri, whose song “Jar of Hearts” has created a national stir, will appear on a few select dates.

Throughout his career, Mraz has received praise as a consummate live performer. From his earliest days in the coffee shops of San Diego to his recent sold-out performance at the Hollywood Bowl, Mraz’s live show has always been a testament of his true musical chops. Earlier this year, Mraz took home Grammy Awards for both “Best Male Pop Vocal Performance” (for “Make It Mine”) and “Best Pop Collaboration With Vocals,” honoring his alliance with Colbie Caillat, “Lucky.” Both tracks are featured on 2008′s RIAA platinum-certified “WE SING. WE DANCE. WE STEAL THINGS.”

The album’s first single, “I’m Yours,” proved a momentous #1 smash, earning ASCAP’s 2010 “Song of the Year” award at their Pop Music Awards while also setting the record for the longest-running song in the 52-year history of Billboard’s “Hot 100.” The first song ever to top the charts at four different pop radio formats, “I’m Yours” is the sixth best-selling digital track of all time, with sales of more than 5 million downloads.

Fueled by the success of “I’m Yours,” “Lucky,” and “Make It Mine,” “WE SING. WE DANCE. WE STEAL THINGS.” became a genuine worldwide sensation. In addition to the album’s platinum certification in the US, the album has received multiple platinum certifications in Korea (6x), France (5x), and Indonesia (3x); double platinum certifications in Australia and Canada; and platinum certification in Hong Kong, New Zealand, Malaysia, the Netherlands, Portugal, Singapore, Thailand, Taiwan, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.

In addition to the aforementioned Grammys, Mraz has been feted with an array of other honors, including the Songwriters Hall of Fame’s esteemed “Hal David Starlight Award,” presented to gifted songwriters who are making a significant impact in the music industry via their original songs. A committed activist as well as an artist, Mraz was honored last year by the Environmental Media Association for his impassioned efforts.

Mraz’s most recent release is “JASON MRAZ’S BEAUTIFUL MESS – LIVE ON EARTH,” a two-disc CD/DVD set capturing him at his onstage best, performing a wide array of his greatest hits. Filmed and recorded in August 2009 as Jason’s blockbuster “Gratitude Café Tour” hit Chicago’s Charter One Pavilion, the collection includes a DVD — directed by Darren Doane (“I’m Yours,” “Lucky,” as well as videos from such diverse artists as Van Morrison and Shinedown) — featuring the full-length concert, never-before-seen backstage footage, and the exclusive new mockumentary, “Un Beau Désordre.”

BURBANK, California –(Marketwire) – After wrapping up a sold-out stadium tour of Europe, multi-platinum rock band Green Day will hit the road next week for a series of North American tour dates, including an August 7th stopover at this year’s Lollapalooza Festival in Chicago. This is the second leg of the band’s U.S. tour in support of their Grammy Award winning album 21st Century Breakdown. Please see below for all tour dates.

Critics raved about the first leg of the 21st Century Breakdown tour, which launched in North America in July of 2009, before continuing on to Europe in the fall. “As if releasing a wave of energy that had been building up during their four-year hiatus from touring, Green Day poured all their heart and soul into a powerhouse two-hour set,” said Rolling Stone, while Spin noted that “the band’s relationship with its audience is disarmingly real, a cross-generational give-and-take that’s as punk as any Gilman Street scroungers today.”

Released by Reprise Records on May 15th, 2009, 21st Century Breakdown debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Top 200 chart, as well as on the Rock, Active Rock, and Alternative charts. The album has spawned two hit singles, “Know Your Enemy,” which has been certified gold, and the platinum-selling “21 Guns,” whose video won three 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, including “Best Rock Video.” The band took home their second American Music Award for “Favorite Alternative Music Artist” in November. Green Day Rock Band has been nominated for a Teen Choice Award for Best Video Game.

Green Day’s upcoming North American tour dates are as follows:

Aerosmith, America’s Number One rock and roll band, has just finished a run of phenomenally successful dates in Europe and South America but all agree that playing for their American fans is the ultimate. Clearly the Aerosmith army couldn’t agree more. The band is scheduled to play their hometown along with the J. Geils Band at a sold out Fenway Park show on August 14th.

“After last summer, we’ve been looking forward to getting back out there with a vengeance. I can’t wait to feel the roar of the American audiences again and give this summer what it needs – a double dose of Aerosmith!” commented Steven Tyler.

Aerosmith’s Joe Perry had a motorcycle mishap last week but stated, “Just like the name of the tour, I am ‘Cocked, Locked and Ready to Rock.’ It was a close call. My bike is smashed but I am ok from head to toe. I want to thank all of the fans for their emails and support.”

“After all the trials and tribulations we’ve come out into one of the most fun tours in recent memory. We had an amazing time in South America and Europe and now we’re ready to bring it home,” said Tom Hamilton.

Aerosmith will be celebrating their 40th anniversary as America’s most enduring and thrilling bands in rock history…and have sold over 150 million records. They are Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees, recipients of countless awards including four Grammys, eight American Music Awards, six Billboard Awards and twelve MTV Video Music Awards.

Sammy Hagar and the Wabos will open many of the announced shows.

CHICAGO /PRNewswire/ — Cardenas Marketing Network (CMN) announced that tickets for all U.S. shows featuring five-time Grammy Award winner Marc Anthony and his highly anticipated 2010 U.S. Tour will go on sale Friday, July 30 at 10:00 a.m. via Ticketmaster outlets nationwide.

In addition to producing his U.S. tour, CMN is also producing Anthony’s Latin American tour, which kicks off today in Quito, Ecuador’s Estadio Atahualpa. That tour will take the pop star to cities throughout Peru and Colombia as well.

Released in May 2010, Anthony’s latest recording, “Iconos,” (“Icons”) marks the singer’s first studio production since 2004. The all ballad Spanish album produced by Anthony and Julio Reyes, peaked for seven weeks at # 1 in Billboard’s Top Latin Albums and includes eight titles of the singer’s favorite balladeers and two original songs — both written by Reyes and Anthony. These songs turned into classics by legendary artists such as Juan Gabriel, Jose Luis Perales, Jose Jose and Roberto Carlos are born again, now in Anthony’s unique, emotive style.

The list of Grammy accolades began with a 1998 Grammy for Best Latin/Tropical Performance for “Contra La Corriente,” followed with a 1999 Grammy for Song of the Year for “Dimelo” (“I Need to Know”). Driven in part by the crossover success of that smash single, “Marc Anthony,” his English language debut album, helped usher in 1999′s Latin pop explosion, and went on to achieve triple platinum status in the U.S. In 2005, Marc Anthony went home double fisted with a Grammy for Best Latin Pop Album of the Year (“Amar Sin Mentiras”) and another Grammy for Best Tropical Album of the Year (“Valio la Pena”).

Anthony has also established a highly credible acting resume and may be seen in Martin Scorsese’s “Bringing Out the Dead” (1999); opposite Salma Hayek in the Showtime original film, “In the Time of the Butterflies” (2001); and appears with Denzel Washington and Christopher Walken in director Tony Scott’s “Man On Fire” (2004).
