​Progressive Rockers Coheed and Cambria have announced a North American tour. Support will come from The Dear Hunter.

The tour will run through and April and May and will see the band stopping at mid-sized venues across the country to play their third album, IV: From Fear through the Eyes of Madness, in its entirety. See the dates below.

Coheed and Cambria’s latest, The Color Before the Sun, was released in 2015. The band recently put out a digital reissue of that album with 20 demo tracks. The Color Before the Sun was Coheed and Cambria’s first non-conceptual album and paused The Amory Wars, a science fiction saga detailed in the band’s concept albums and accompanying comic book series. To coincide with the tour, the band has announced the return of the comic book series.

The Dear Hunter is an Indie Rock band out of Providence, RI. Formed out of the ashes of the Post-Hardcore band The Receiving End of Sirens, The Dear Hunter embraces progressive tendencies and a wide array of instrumentation. Their latest album, Act V: Hymns with the Devil in Confessional, was released in 2016 to rave reviews.

On the country side, singer Luke Bryan has announced the massive “Huntin’, Fishin’ and Lovin’ Every Day” tour for Summer 2017.

Bryan, who is still currently on the road, announced the tour’s line-up via a humorous video posted to his YouTube channel. In the video, Bryan can be seen “hunting” his rotating support acts on Nintendo’s Duck Hunt. Those acts include Lauren Alaina, Granger Smith, Seth Ennis, Craig Campbell and Adam Craig. Main support will come from Brett Elderedge, who will appear on the entire tour.

The tour kicks off May 5th in Nashville, TN and will conclude October 28th in San Bernardino, CA. Along the way, Bryan will make a handful of festival appearances.

Bryan’s latest studio album, Kill the Lights, was released in August 2015 via Capitol Nashville. He will make an appearance at Super Bowl LI to perform the national anthem.

Although it may still be cold outside, America’s biggest country acts are starting the thaw early with a round of summer tour announcements.

The Zac Brown Band have announced an extensive tour of the US in support of their forthcoming new album, Welcome Home.

The tour will run from Spring until Fall and will see the band traversing the country to play outdoor amphitheaters. It kicks off in Alpharetta, Georgia, concludes in Los Angeles and will include a two day stop at the Southern Ground Music and Food Festival where the band will both curate the festival and perform two headlining sets.

Jason Aldean has also confirmed that he will be hitting the road in support of his most recent album, They Don’t Know. The tour starts in April, but most of the dates are still to be announced. We do know that he’ll be hitting every major US market and that the tour will include headlining stops at the Taste of Country Music Festival, Country Jam and the 2017 iHeartCountry Festival. Support will come from Chris Young, Kane Brown and Dee Jay Silver.

Regrouping from a short hiatus for a massive summer tour is Lady Antebellum, who have confirmed a Spring/Summer run for 2017. Venues and dates are still forthcoming. The trio’s new album, Heart Break will be released June 9th via Capitol Nashville.

And if these tours were enough to satiate your appetite for Country, the annual iHeartCountry Festival will be held on Saturday, May 6th  at the Frank Erwin Center in Austin, TX with a line-up featuring the aforementioned Jason Aldean and Lady Antebellum, Little Big Town, Dierks Bentley, Brantley Gilbert, Rascal Flatts, Old Dominion, Jake Own, Darius Rucker, Kelsea Ballerini, and Bobby Bones and the Raging Idiots.

​When Lady Gaga was announced as the Halftime performer for next month’s Super Bowl, she was met with mixed reaction. However, there are solid reasons as to why Lady Gaga could go down in history as the best performance ever. Why? Let us count the ways:

5. The Entrance. How the artists get to the stage is half the fun of the halftime show. In 1993, Michael Jackson seemed to be beamed there through an alien abduction. In 2001, *N Sync was chased to the stage by adoring fans. In 2015, Katy Perry road out on an anemometric lion. Lady Gaga is a woman who once was carried down the red carpet in an EGG and rode into the 2013 American Music Awards on, what can only be described as a human-horse. There is no telling how she will get to the stage but there is no doubt it will be epic. 

4. The Outfits. Will it be a dress of meat? Will she cover her face and body entirely in lace? Will she wear a giant head piece? Could she stun us all and show up fresh-faced and demure ala the 2015 Oscars? Lady Gaga’s footwear almost deserve a mention of their own on this list because she’s stomped around in 10 inch Alexander McQueen heels on numerous occasions (most notably the Bad Romance video). Mother Monster is NOT going to show up in jeans and sneakers, unless they are her beloved Chucks though one can assume the Haus of Gaga has been planning Super Bowl Halftime outfits for years. 

3. The Stage Design. The field at NRG Stadium will be a large space to fill but there is no limit to what Lady Gaga will do. We are talking about a woman who once played the piano on top of a giant stiletto shoe on Oprah’s studio stage. Lady Gaga also famously went into debt during her Monster Ball tour due to her set design. She then had a castle as her stage for her cut-short, Born This Way Ball and the stage for 2014’s artRAVE: The ARTPOP Ball had runways that extended well into the general admission floor. ​The late Prince had his stage designed to be his infamous symbol, perhaps Mother Monster's stage will be her famous "paw"?

2. The Guest Apperances. Could we see Beyoncé again, for the 2nd year in a row for the duo to perform “Telephone” and “Video Phone”? What about Tony Bennet? Those two have been Cheek to Cheek since the release of their Jazz album. Florence Welch? The duo could perform their stellar duet, “Hey Girl” from Gaga’s new release, Joanne. Let us not forget though that Ms. Gaga is the God Mother of Sir. Elton John’s son. The duo have performed together multiple times. Lady Gaga has already teased that she is planning on bringing some fans up there with her but it is a safe bet that at least one of her famous friends will join her on stage as well. 

1. The Hits. Put the entrances, outfits, stages and famous friends aside, Lady Gaga has 13 top-10 hits, including number one songs; “Just Dance”, “Poker Face” and “Born This Way” (“Bad Romance” peaked at number 2, trust me I’m just as surprised as you are). She can easily fill the 15 minutes with a medley of her own crowd-pleasing material. She can also use this moment to shed light on a cause extremely near to her heart and perform her Oscar nonimated song, "Till It Happens to You". Seeing NRG Stadium light up with cell phones, while Gaga plays the piano on her most vulnerable song will surly bring chills to all those watching. 

What will the stage look like? What will she wear? What will she sing? You don’t want to miss Lady Gaga’s Superbowl Halftime show when the game airs on FOX, Sunday, February 5, 2017.
