I just added some additional tour dates for Joanna Newsom, touring across Canada and the U.S.A. this spring (March and April). I won't exacly call the tour a 'promotion tour' or a 'record release tour', although the tour seems to be accompaning the release of Joanna Newsom's upcoming new triple album "Have One on Me", which will be out and in stores February 23rd.

Although the album will only be out in three weeks, you may of course already pre-order it from various sources - for example from amazon.com:
--> [VINYL]  [CD]

And here's the frequently updated list of tour dates:

Slowly Peter Gabriel's tour schedule is getting longer: now four additional shows across the Northern American continent were added to the list.  A month after the European shows Peter Gabriel will first play at Montreal's Bell Center on April 28th, then on May 2nd and May 3rd two shows at Radio City Music Hall New York City, and finally one show at Los Angeles' Hollywood Bowl.

I suppose there'll be even more concerts coming up - and of course I'll add them to the frequently updated tour dates page over here:

And then I also added quite a bunch of gigs for These New Puritans. They'll be touring across France, The Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, Switzerland, Croatia, Italy, Germany and the UK - partly together with The XX. Catch them if you can..:]

Suzanne Vega will be touring across the Northern American continent the next couple of weeks/ months. About thirty gigs are currently on Suzanne Vega's concert list, mainly featuring smaller venues in smaller cities - which enrichened my city and venue database by some additional entries I probably never would have found otherwise..:] But of course you'll also find some well known venues on the schedule such as the Allen Room at Lincoln Center in New York City or the Moore Theatre in Seattle.
