It’s already been almost a year since Latin heartthrob Enrique Iglesias issued his first bilingual album, Euphoria — but that isn’t stopping him from heading out on another tour (an even bigger one than his last) this fall, launching in Boston on Sept. 22
A month later, Julio’s youngest son will arrive to headline Staples Center on Oct. 22, with opening sets from one of his album’s guest stars — Pitbull, who just made a splash at Wango Tango with Jennifer Lopez — as well as another crossover newcomer, Prince Royce. Tickets, $19.50-$129.50, go on sale Friday, May 20 at 10 a.m.
Speaking of shows that don’t happen until much later this year, country sensation Jason Aldean has tacked on an Oct. 27 appearance at Gibson Amphitheatre to his My Kinda Party Tour, behind his fourth album of the same name. Chris Young, the Nashville Star champ whose third album, Neon, arrives July 11, will open, along with Thompson Square. Tickets, $25-$55, are on sale Friday at 10 a.m., though a pre-sale starts two days earlier.
Here’s a country gig closer to home: LeAnn Rimes will headline June 30 at House of Blues Anaheim, just a few days after the arrival of her next album, Lady and Gentlemen. Tickets go on sale Friday at 10 a.m., with prices listed as $8 in advance, $10.50 day of show.
That can’t be right, can it? Maybe it’s a short show just to plug the new disc?
Also coming to the Mouse House and on sale at that time: the Journey Experience (featuring former members of another Journey tribute, Lights), May 29, $10 in advance, $12.50 day of show … Bowling for Soup, Aug. 5, $12.50 in advance, $15 day of show … and Sublime tribute Badfish, Oct. 7, $20 in advance, $22.50 day of show (catch that one again Oct. 8 at House of Blues Sunset Strip, same prices). Also, a reminder that the Killing Joke show slated for May 29 has been canceled, with refunds available at point of purchase.
Missed Queens of the Stone Age‘s two thunderous performances at the Wiltern last month? Good news: Josh Homme and his gang will be back soon, this time to play July 25 at the Fox Theater in Pomona. Tickets, $38.50, go on sale Friday at 10 a.m.
Two sides of the soul coin: retro-modernists Fitz & the Tantrums will perform July 22 at the Music Box in Hollywood, $20, while urban-soul star Musiq Soulchild will headline June 25 at Club Nokia, $38.50-$45. Both shows are on sale Friday at 10 a.m.
And new at L.A.’s El Rey Theatre: Warren Haynes Band, featuring Ruthie Foster, Nigel Hall and more, plus a solo acoustic set, June 28, $30, on sale Thursday at 10 a.m. … and South Carolinian chillwave figure Toro y Moi, Oct. 3, $22, on sale Saturday at 10 a.m.
