As reunion-mania continues in the world of music, the latest act to throw their hat into the ring is 1960s pop sensations The Monkees, who will reportedly be hitting the road for a full stage show, that would include dialogue, in 2011 – which coincidentally will mark their 45th anniversary. This will be the first time all four members of the band, which was formed as America’s answer to The Beatles and starred in their own television show from 1965 to 1968, have shared the stage together since 1997.
If you’re not into a night of nostalgia, then maybe you’ll be interested in hitting one of these recently announced tours…

Finally, several weeks back we reported the unfortunate circumstances that led to Justin Townes Earle postponing his fall tour. After the completion of his voluntary treatment for addiction issues, Townes Earle has announced that he will now be able to resume his nationwide tour at the end of November, and make up the original canceled dates that include rescheduled shows at New York’s Webster Hall and Washington, D.C.’s 9:30 Club.
