Cool New Music Tours
Although the Dave Matthews Band, the Rolling Stones, the Eagles and some other groups have chosen to take the year off from touring in the wake of a rough 2010, other bands are predicted to see 2011 as their breakout year, including Zac Brown Band and Mumford & Sons. Linkin Park are planning to tour, and you'll find plenty of classic-rock combos and solo packages: Santana, Steve Miller, the Moody Blues, REO Speedwagon, Jethro Tull and other boomer stalwarts will be on the road.
The country market remains strong (and mostly reasonably priced), with Tim McGraw, Toby Keith, Brad Paisley and more going out. Prince will tour, as will Alison Krauss and Robert Plant (separately). As always, Radiohead rumors swirl, but there's nothing firm.
