FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Live Nation is very proud to announce

COLDPLAY “VIVA LA VIDA”
NORTH AMERICAN TOUR
SATURDAY, JULY 12

TICKETS ON-SALE SATURDAY, MAY 17 AT 12 NOON

Phoenix, AZ (May 9, 2008) - Coldplay announce their “Viva La Vida” North American Tour in support of their new album of the same name, which will be released on June 17th. The tour, which will be produced by Live Nation, will kick off on June 29th in Philadelphia, PA and will make a stop in Glendale to perform at Jobing.com Arena on Saturday, July 12.

Before kicking off the “Viva La Vida” tour, Coldplay will play free concerts in London (June 16th at the Brixton Academy) and New York (June 23rd at Madison Square Garden). Information on how to win tickets to these shows will be available at http://www.coldplay.com beginning today. The contest will run May 9th through June 1st. Winners will receive notification on June 5th.

Viva La Vida, Coldplay’s upcoming album, will be released by Capitol Music Group on June 17th. Produced by Brian Eno and Markus Dravs, the record is the follow-up to 2005’s X&Y, which debuted at #1 in 32 countries and has sold 10 million copies worldwide to date.

The album’s lead single “Violet Hill” was downloaded by two million people during the recent one-week period in which the band made the song available to fans for free. It is now for sale at all digital retailers and is quickly rising to the top of the charts at Modern Rock and AAA radio. Coldplay will perform “Violet Hill” on the “TODAY” show on NBC on Friday, June 27th. The band will also perform on Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart” on June 26th.

“[Lead singer Chris] Martin broods over a lost lover with a snarling acidity that makes him sound more human than ever – miles away from the dreamy romantic he was on soaring ballads like ‘Speed of Sound,’” said Rolling Stone, naming “Violet Hill” a must-have in a recent “Downloads” column. “Jonny Buckland rips jagged, bluesy riffs that match Martin’s mood while drummer Will Champion and bassist Guy Berryman maintain a stalking beat…primal rock & roll.” The Los Angeles Times pronounced the single a “promising return,” also marveling at its harder edge.

TICKETS ON-SALE SATURDAY, MAY 17 AT 12 NOON
Tickets priced at $97.50, $77.50 and $49.50 will go on-sale Saturday, May 17 at 12 NOON. Tickets can be purchased at Jobing Arena Box Office and all Ticketmaster (online and all outlets).

Phoenix, AZ (May 9, 2007) - Carlos Mencia, superstar/stand-up comedian, is undoubtedly one of today’s most lauded entertainers and feared comics. Whether it is man-on-the-street interviews, studio comedy, commercial parodies, or nationwide sold-out tours, Mencia demonstrates an extraordinary ability to connect with a diverse audience. He will bring his 60 city stand-up comedy tour BUD LIGHT PRESENTS CARLOS MENCIA: AT CLOSE RANGE to Jobing.com Arena on Friday, September 12. The show will begin at 8:00pm

One of the most popular comedians in the country, Carlos Mencia has the rare gift of insightful perception and precise delivery when addressing a variety of subjects, including ethnic stereotypes, racism and people's inability to laugh at themselves. He represents the internal voice inside us and demands we admit to thinking what he says out loud. Mencia's 2006 COMEDY CENTRAL Original Stand-up Special, "Carlos Mencia: No Strings Attached," was the first COMEDY CENTRAL Original Stand-up Special DVD to achieve Platinum sales status. Mencia’s new comedy special for Comedy Central, “Carlos Mencia: Performance Enhanced,” will premiere on Sunday, May 18 at 9:00p.m.

Carlos Mencia’s “Mind of Mencia” debuted on Comedy Central in early 2005. Since then, it has become one of the strongest shows in the network’s history, averaging about 1.5 million total viewers. “Mind of Mencia” is executive produced by Carlos Mencia and Robert Morton (“Late Night with David Letterman”). With the continued success of the show, the network has ordered a fourth season of the weekly hit, set to premiere Wednesday, May 21 at 10:30p.m. with ten all-new episodes. The new season will take on such topics as the election, the recession and the war as well as other controversial issues.

In the summer of 2007, Mencia starred opposite Ben Stiller and Michelle Monaghan in the Farrelly Brothers’ hit feature film, “The Heartbreak Kid” (DreamWorks). In the fall of 2007, Mencia headlined a nationwide comedy tour titled “Carlos Mencia Live Presented by Bud Light.” Mencia recently returned from his second trip to Kuwait after hosting “Operation Myspace,” an exclusive concert for American Troops in the Middle East alongside Jessica Simpson and The Pussycat Dolls. The special aired on FX in April 2008.

NEIL DIAMOND LIVE CONCERT TOUR OF A LIFETIME

NEIL DIAMOND
LIVE CONCERT TOUR OF A LIFETIME
COMES TO JOBING.COM ARENA OCTOBER 10, 2008

Legendary Singer To Launch 37-City North American Tour
Starting July 19th in St. Paul, Minnesota
Get tickets today!

Los Angeles, CA (April 15, 2008) – To the delight of his millions of fans, legendary singer, songwriter and performer Neil Diamond will return to concert stages this summer for a 37-city North American tour, promoted nationally by AEG Live. Tickets for the North American tour, scheduled to kick off July 19th in St. Paul, Minnesota, will go on sale in select markets beginning Monday, April 28th. Fans should visit neildiamond.com and check local listings for updated information. The North American leg follows a series of European dates starting May 24th in Rotterdam, with new dates recently added to accommodate an overwhelming demand for tickets.

With a four-decade long career that has seen more than 125 million records sold worldwide, 36 Top 40 hits, a Grammy, a Golden Globe and thousands of sold-out shows all over the globe, Neil Diamond remains one of the most vital and innovative forces in modern music. The 2008 summer tour will deliver a familiar yet unique fan experience featuring amazing production, innovative stage design and, of course, an unparalleled set list of Diamond’s most beloved hits. In addition to classics such as “Sweet Caroline,” “I’m a Believer,” and “Cherry, Cherry,” Diamond will perform new, never before performed live songs from his upcoming, highly anticipated album, Home Before Dark, his second collaboration with renowned producer Rick Rubin, to be released by Columbia Records on May 6th.

Diamond announced the tour in a surprise televised appearance at the Boston Red Sox season opener at Fenway Park on April 8th. During the traditional eighth-inning sing-a-long of Diamond’s classic “Sweet Caroline,”—a longtime Fenway tradition—the singer appeared in a televised, big-screen broadcast, proclaiming to fans that he will be performing live in concert at the historic Fenway Park on Saturday, August 23rd, 2008.

American Express is providing a special opportunity for their cardmembers to purchase ‘Early On-Sale’ tickets (in select markets and venues) one week prior to the general public on-sale. All tickets available during the American Express presale can be purchased via Ticketmaster,at ticketmaster.com. Additionally, I Love All Access is proud to be the exclusive provider of VIP ticket package experiences for the tour. Fans should visit iloveallaccess.com for more information and to purchase VIP tickets.

Diamond’s prolific body of work includes “You Don't Bring Me Flowers” (the powerful duet with Barbra Streisand), “I Am, I Said” and “Cracklin’ Rosie,” as well as hits from his album and movie The Jazz Singer (“America,” “Love on the Rocks”) and from his acclaimed 2005 album 12 Songs. The album marked his first project with Rubin, which entered the Billboard Top 200 at No. 4 – marking Diamond’s highest-charting debut to date – and offered a stripped-down, emotionally honest and passionately compelling approach that continues on Home Before Dark.


Like all great Neil Diamond albums, Home Before Dark is a powerful work, crossing generational lines with an extraordinary range and level of songcraft. Imbued with the same style of inspired melodies that has made his music so enduring, the album’s highlights include the stunning lead single “Pretty Amazing Grace” and a striking duet with the Dixie Chicks’ Natalie Maines entitled “Another Day (That Time Forgot).” The new collection was written by Diamond and recorded in Los Angeles with guitarist Mike Campbell, keyboardist Benmont Tench (Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers), bassist/acoustic guitarist Smokey Hormel and guitarist Matt Sweeney. The album will also be available as a deluxe version that includes two bonus tracks and a DVD with rare footage of Diamond in the studio.

“New songs, old songs, it didn't matter: the Foos rocked and fans ate it up.”- Albany Times-Union

After selling a staggering 163,000 tickets in 24 hours for their June 6 & 7 stand at London’s Wembley Stadium, Foo Fighters have set their sights on America.
