Bob Dylan was slated to perform at MetraPark right in the middle of Montana Fair, on August 15. The concert was cancelled late last week.

David Lee Roth Calls Out Trash-Throwing Van Halen Concert-Goer

Chris M. Junior — Fri, 18 May 2012 12:30:33 +0000

In the bizarre world of David Lee Roth, apparently there’s nothing wrong with trashing hotel rooms — or trashing Sammy Hagar in print prior to their joint 2002 tour.

But throwing trash onstage during a Van Halen show? That’s a no-no in the eyes of singer Diamond Dave, who recently singled out a fan for tossing rubbish in Roth’s direction at the MTS Centre in Winnipeg.

Shauna Wright — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 14:00:10 +0000

A 1965 contract between the Beatles and a concert venue reveals the band’s demands were few — 150 security guards, electricity and water in their trailer, clean towels, and, most specifically, that they would not play if the audience was racially segregated in any way.

Reunited Mr. Big Plans First U.S. Tour in 15 Years

Jeff Giles — Tue, 21 Jun 2011 16:23:11 +0000

They’ve always been big in Japan, but Mr. Big has kept a pretty low profile in America since the mid-’90s — so longtime fans should be excited to hear about the band’s upcoming string of U.S. tour dates, the first for the original lineup since they hit the road in support of 1996′s ‘Hey Man.’

Guitarist Paul Gilbert, who returned to the band in 2009 after over a decade of pursuing other projects, is particularly eager for fans to see the reunion. “Man, it’s been a long time,” he says. “I can’t wait to play our first show in America in about 15 years. It’s gonna be huge!”
