Show Announcements: Willie Nelson, Staind, Chris Isaak, Katy Perry

There were a massive amount of upcoming shows announced this week, including Willie Nelson on the road again and possibly three of the four worst nu metal bands of all time (Staind, Papa Roach, Hoobastank) on a single stage… with the insufferable Adam Carolla. Crooner Chris Isaak and Strokes’ drummer Fabrizio Moretti will also be in town with his side project, Little Joy. Katy Perry will be in town to do a solo show hot on the heels of her Phooson set and Woodstock veteran Richie Havens is coming.

By Martin Cizmar There were a massive amount of upcoming shows announced this week, including Willie Nelson on the road again and possibly three of the four worst nu metal bands of all time (Staind, Papa Roach and Hoobastank but not Limp Bizkit) on a single stage… with the insufferable Adam Carolla. Crooner Chris Isaak and Strokes’ drummer Fabrizio Moretti will also be in town with his side project, Little Joy. Katy Perry will be in town to do a solo show hot on the heels of her Phooson set and Woodstock veteran Richie Havens is coming.

But let’s dwell on the best news here: Country great Willie Nelson will be at Dodge Theatre on Sunday, January 25. Tickets go on sale this Saturday at 10 a.m. The Redheaded Stranger’s shows continue to get good reviews even if his albums don’t, so get some sticky stuff and plan to make an evening of it.
