Since there haven’t been many real announcements to speak of, there are once again some new rumors circulating in the concert world, specifically in my part of the country. The Moondance Jam, arguably the best classic rock festival in the US, is reportedly in talks with several big-name bands: Whitesnake, Judas Priest, and Triumph. All three would bring droves of fans, particularly Whitesnake and Triumph, who haven’t had much exposure in the area in recent years. A signing like this would also help to sell tickets for the event, which will take place from July 16 to July 18 in Walker, Minnesota.

Although the band’s tour does roll into my home state on April 11, I won’t be able to make it due to a conflict. As for other artists,
Steve Miller fans will be happy to know that Steve and his band are planning another full tour for 2009. Check out
his website’s tour page on March 1, 2009, which is the planned date of announcement for his summer tour. Last but not least,
Loverboy has over 20 tour dates planned for the spring and summer – don’t miss these guys in concert!
Here’s a link to those dates.
