Guns n Roses in Peru
I like to keep up with upcoming concerts in Peru. As I’ve written in the past, 1980′s & 90′s Rock n Roll bands from the USA have a huge fan base in Peru. Many of these bands have gone to Peru in recent years (Metallica, Collective Soul, Duran Duran) and have sold out stadiums. There [...]
Depeche Mode in Peru
Depeche Mode played a show in Peru this past week and drew a crowd of 30,000 people. I write often about concerts in Peru, and they just continue to impress me. Depeche Mode would likely have trouble drawing a crowd of 30,000 in some major cities in the USA, but they are able to travel [...]
Beyonce, Rated G
Beyonce will be performing a concert in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on October 25th this year. This is noteworthy because just two years ago, she didn’t play a concert because of dress code requirements which went a little something like this: Female performers are required to cover up in the country, which has various rules for [...]
Peru Concerts
The South American country of Peru continues to attract some big name USA artists for live concerts. KISS just did a concert and had 30,000 people attend. They played at the National Stadium in Lima. 30,000 people! I’ve written many times about the large Rock n Roll culture in Peru and how there is a [...]

Coldplay in the Emirates
Coldplay has been asked to play a concert in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates. The venue is the Emirates Palace (see photo to right), which is set along the beach. Coldplay will play for 15,000 lucky (and likely filthy rich) fans. This hotel has quite the booking agent. Past artists have [...]
Oasis in China
The British rock band Oasis has quite the international music tour in process for 2009. Oasis will be touring extensively in Western Europe for the first few months of the year. Towards the end of March / beginning of April, Oasis will head to the Far East for shows in Japan, South Korea, and China. [...]
Resort Tours
What is a good way for a hotel resort to rev up some business during these tough economic times? How about hire a band for the weekend. That’s exactly what the Atlantis Paradise Island hotel in the Bahamas is doing. The Atlantis is hosting the Jonas Brothers for dates in March, April, & May. The [...]
Soul Asylum in Peru?
Soul Asylum, the 1980′s alternative rock band out of Minnesota, is about to do a concert in Lima, Peru. Soul Asylum had a Grammy Award-winning single in the 1990′s – Runaway Train. Since the 90′s, there has not been a lot of activity from the band. And in 2005, Soul Asylum tragically lost their bassist, [...]
2008 Peruvian Concerts
It was quite a year for international music artists performing in Peru. As the economy of Peru continues to expand at very high rates, bands are noticing the increase in expendable income and are adding Peru to their list of tour locations. In the past, bands from the USA rarely made the trip to Lima [...]
