Lady GaGa will play North American and European arenas this year and Live Nation Entertainment’s global touring division will take the reins as promoter/producer.
Lady GaGa is set to begin a run of dates in the U.K. (promoted by AEG Live) on Feb. 18 at the MEN Arena in Manchester, followed by shows in Australia, New Zealand and Japan, which are all almost sold out. According to sources, it is now expected that the artist will play arenas in Europe some time this spring, then North American arenas in the summer.
Live Nation has previous run heavy international tours for both U2 and Madonna, so Lady GaGa will be in good hands.
Roumers started flying around about Noel Gallagher making his return to music with a collaboration with Kasabian earlier this week, now Johnny Borrell has hinted at being interested in having Noel produce an album in the future.
Tom meighn, Kasabians voice, has told the news of the world that he would definitely consider working with Noel in the future. Sooner than that though it has been confirmed that he will be performing on the band’s UK arena tour. Tom spoke to the News of the world, “Noel will be calling us up nearer the time for sure saying, ‘Lads, I’m going to come perform with you on tour, He’s a performing machine, and loves playing live so he jumps at the opportunity whenever he can join us.”
On the studio side of things Razorlight have suggested that the ex Oasis man should get involved with producing their fourth album that is intended to be a follow up to the 2008 record “Slipway Fires”. “Maybe we should get Noel to produce the new Razorlight album. We’re looking for a producer,” bassistCarl Damelo told The Mirror. “We need some northern cred!” he added.
Fingers crossed that Noel aims for a juicy Kasabian collaboration, working wihth Razorlight however? We cant see it.
Finally we have some (what seem like actually quite reliable) dates for a tour from Them Crooked Vultures. The tour dates are nice and fair with dates for the UK and the USA.
The super-group will embark on their first US tour which begins at the beginning of October and contains a total of nine sets, including a recently knocked up set at the Austin City Limits Festival along side The Yeah Yeah Yeahs and the Kings Of Leon. December the 10th sees the band begin their short tour of the UK beginning in Plymouth and ending in London’s HMV Hammersmith Apollo. Details though of the bands album releases are still in up in the air (with even less news about downloads), but the rock collective are treating the fans to quite a regular amount of promos and video leaks on places like YouTube with even less on their website, you can buy t-shirts though for around $25.
