Simon and Garfunkel Announce North American Tour

Thursday, March 11th, 2010

The legendary duo, Simon and Garfunkel, have announced an exciting North American tour beginning in April, covering eight dates in Canada. Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel began collaborating in grade school, writing their first tunes together during the doo-wop era. They formed the band Tom and Jerry, and had a hit called “Hey, Schoolgirl” in 1957.
Little did they know that the harmonies they were crafting then would eventually carry them into the prolific sixties as frontrunners of the folk phenomenon. Songs like “Bridge Over Troubled Water,” “Scarborough Fair,” “Mrs. Robinson,” and “Sounds of Silence” placed Simon and Garfunkel in the forefront of public consciousness, and brought success on a massive scale.
The celebrated Simon and Garfunkel have received much recognition as artists, including numerous Grammys. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990, and received a lifetime achievement award in 2003. With a timeless collection of enduring songs, Simon and Garfunkel are considered a cornerstone of American music.
Simon and Garfunkel will begin their tour at Jazz Fest in New Orleans, Louisiana on April 24th. They will play eight dates across Canada, concluding their tour at Bell Centre in Montreal on May 15th.
Don’t miss your chance to see the iconic folk duo live! For Simon and Garfunkel tickets, visit Ticketmaster.com or ShowTimeTickets.com, where we are never sold out.

U2 on 360 Degrees Tour

Monday, March 8th, 2010

The concept of U2 and the band itself was formed before the members of the group had much of a grasp on their instruments. In what has become a signature of the band, they realized early on that playing music is more of a platform to convey a message to an audience than it is a display of great talent.
Although they did become exceptional musically, they clung to the idea that they could use their music to spread a message. Over the years, they have donated heavily to an array of charitable groups through benefit concerts and campaigns, using their fame to highlight organizations that try to improve the world.
U2 became popular fairly quickly, but it was nearly a decade after forming that the band went global with their album, The Joshua Tree. U2 gained their fan-base through their performances, but this release earned them the commercial success that was previously amiss. The Joshua Tree has become one of the biggest selling albums ever with over twenty-five million copies sold.
The rest is history. U2 has released twelve albums, won over twenty Grammys, and played to over three million people. They have been named one of the most influential bands of all time.
U2 is currently touring the globe on their 360 Degrees Tour. When they toured in 2009, they played to sold out audiences in nearly every city. Loyal fans camped out near the arenas in hopes for an up-close experience at the front of the crowd.
U2 will wrap up the 360 Degrees Tour with dates in 2010. For a full list of dates, check the listings below. For U2 tickets, visit Ticketmaster.com or ShowTimeTickets.com, where we are never sold out.
