Leonard Zelig Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Pollstar.com is a good source for concert info. July is still a ways out to get a real idea of what will be happening then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of the big tours have booked their dates already, but the smaller venues will take their time to see who else goes out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted March 17, 2010 Author Share Posted March 17, 2010 Elton John is playing some pretty small venues. Has his popularity really fallen that far? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is awful live now. I saw him and Billy Joel with a free ticket about 5 years ago, and he was a shell of himself. Billy Joel stole the show.
