It’s almost quittin’ time Friday which means it’s time we brought you this week’s concert announcements. Nothing too big this week, just a little Dokken, some AP Tour and confirmation of the Dave Matthews Band show we told you about a month or so ago.
There’s also “Shaq & Cedric the Entertainer’s All-Star Comedy Jam” on Valentine’s Day, because nothing says romance like Shaq. No word on whether he’ll give the audience what they want — plenty of material from 1994’s iconic Shaq-Fu: The Return or whether he’ll insist on playing stuff from 1994’s less critically-acclaimed Respect. Click above for Shaq’s infamous “Kobe, tell me how my ass taste” freestyle, a perfect Valentine’s Day song if ever there was one, or on the jump for the rest of this week’s announcements.
