Hmm, something fishy is happening with Brad Paisley. His Web site has listed a May 20 Save Mart Center date for a while now, though nothing has been officially announced by the arena.

Then, outta nowhere, comes word from Tachi Palace that it has a date with Paisley on June 28. And that's official, because tickets are going on sale Feb. 2.

This was news to folks at Save Mart Center, who say they're still in the running for a date with Paisley. But I can't imagine he'd play two dates in the same market within a month of each other. I'll be watching this one.

• Still no word on when Gwen Stefani tickets are going on sale, but her tour was officially announced this week (but come on, the tour dates were inside her CD, which came out in December).

  The biggest news is that Akon is opening for her. Here's hoping Tara Reid comes along, too.




• And while we're talking about train-wrecks (Reid, not Gwen), reformed country wreck Keith Urban announced cities for his upcoming summer tour today. Save Mart Center is on the list. No date, though. It is the second city listed and the tour starts on June 8, so that gives us a general idea. I'm sure Heather will be first in line.



• The Vans Warped Tour will be in Fresno this year. Dates have been announced, but no venues. Aug. 23 is the Fresno date, but I'm 95% sure this will be at Selland like last year.

  Already confirmed to play the tour this year: Coheed and Cambria, The Unseen, Bad Religion, Pennywise, Pepper and Bayside, Meg And Dia, The Matches, Escape The Fate, Gallows, Tiger Army, The Almost, Paramore, Cute Is What We Aim For, K-os, Big D And The Kids Table and The Fabulous Rudies. Many more will be named.

  Please note: Not every band plays the entire tour, so all those might not be in Fresno.
