Zigabid – A Ticket Revolution

Kenny Chesney & Tim McGraw

Two of country’s favorite crooners are teaming up for an amazing summer tour. Chesney hit a huge milestone yesterday: another single hit #1 on the Billboard charts – his 23rd single to do so. Chesney has a new album set to release on June 19th. The duo’s tour, Brothers of the Sun, kicks off on June 2 in Tampa, Fla. The pair have known each other for 20 years, but have yet to hit the road together. Prior to the Brothers tour, Tim McGraw will join his stunning wife and mother of his children, Faith Hill, on tour in Australia to reprise their Soul 2 Soul tour for a few shows. McGraw claims Hill is the true draw: “When I’m by myself, there’s only like two shows. When she goes with me, we sell more tickets so we have to do more shows.”

The Beach Boys

This spring and summer, the Beach Boys will hit the road for their 50th Anniversary tour. For the first time in over twenty years, Brian Wilson, Mike Love, Al Jardine, Bruce Johnston and David Marks will visit more than 40 cities. The band recently performed at the Grammy’s and sounded phenomenal. They are set to release a new album later this year, as well as release their 50th anniversary music catalog. A second LA date was just added after their first at the Hollywood Bowl sold out.

Coldplay

If you listen to the radio at all, chances are your ears have been taken over by Coldplay’s latest hit, “Paradise.” Back in December, the band announced their plans for a North American tour this summer. Kicking off in Edmonton, Alberta, Coldplay begins their reign over the States and Canada from April 17 to August 11. The band has a whopping three dates just at the Hollywood Bowl, in Los Angeles, Calif. Indie acts Robyn, Wolf Gang, Marina and the Diamonds and Metronomy will rotate opening for Coldplay.

Dave Matthews Band

Dave Matthews Band hasn’t tour since 2010, but don’t think that means they’re touring lightly this year. Their new tour kicks off in May and winds down in late September. With a few festival dates in between, and a few two-night stands, fans across North America will have their chance to see the band perform. The band will likely play new songs off of their next upcoming album, which is set to release later this year.

Touring from June 16 – August  14

For over a week now, we’ve been counting down the Most Anticipated Summer Concerts and today it all boils down to one concert: Britney Spears.

Britney Spears is Teflon.  She’s survived drama, meltdowns, chaos, and Kevin Federline.  Even after all that, she bounced back from her probable rock bottom and is seemingly better than ever.  She continues to release hit singles, get massive airplay for videos within any outlets that still even show music videos, and doesn’t fail to sell out shows each tour.  Britney Spears has solidified herself as the pop icon of a generation and at least for the meantime, still inspires dedication out of fans new and old to come and see her live shows.

Love her or hate her, Britney Spears is one of the hottest artists worldwide.  As long as she is revered, popular, and has the support of a worldwide fan base, anything she does will be highly anticipated.

Read the full write-up on Britney Spears and her Femme Fatale tour on the full Most Anticipated Summer Concerts site! Be sure to check out all the other featured shows as well.

Thanks for checking out series on the Most Anticipated Concerts of the summer.  Hopefully we’ve helped you out in your summer concert plans.  You can find tickets for all these shows on our site, the only site that allows you to negotiate the ticket price: Zigabid.com!

Touring from May 25 – August 7

Arguably, New Kids on the Block and the Backstreet Boys are two of the hottest boy bands pop music has seen in the last 25 years (Don’t tell *NSYNC we said that).  They’ve also been on the comeback trail the last few years reigniting interests in their respective groups which created momentum that had to lead to the inevitable: both groups joining up for one tour.  Combining their initials to create the super bubblegum hybrid NKOTBSB, fans have been salivating since the tour announcement last year.

Learn more about the NKOTBSB tour and see the 8 other shows we’ve named as part of our list of the Most Anticipated Summer Concerts! On Monday we will unveil the #1 Most Anticipated Summer Concert!

In 2007, rock fans rejoiced as Rage Against the Machine announced they were getting back together.  The band tore up Coachella that year, showing fans that they didn’t miss a beat during their 7-year hiatus.  Since 2007, the band has only reunited once in their hometown of Los Angeles for a benefit show at the Hollywood Palladium.  This marks LA Rising as the big homecoming fans have been starving for.

The show also features Muse, Rise Against, Ms. Lauryn Hill, Immortal Technique, and El Gran Silencio.  The schedule offers a variety of music slowly building up harder and harder until Rage Against the Machine is ready to blow the place up with their energy.
