There are many artists and shows touring this year. From Clapton to U2 to Jimmy Buffett, or DMB, there is something for anyone who enjoys a live show once in a while.
There are also tons of alternative bands and artists touring this season as well. And these acts can fill up a venue! For instance see Death Cab for Cutie , or the Foo Fighters, Incubus and Bush are all touring.
