Rockin’ Steady
With The Offspring and Weezer helping out, No Doubt take over the Long Beach Arena February 26 as part of The Concerts For Artists Rights night. A few weeks later, they take on Venezuela for the Caracas Pop Festival II. In between those two gigs, No Doubt will be in Puerto Rico for a performance at the Tito Puente Amphitheatre.
Like most major tours, this one follows on the heels of a new album. Rock Steady, No Doubt’s 6th album, was released in December. The band was fairly quiet on the tour front last year, save for some high-profile opening spots on U2’s Elevation Tour.
The Faint also have some new tunes out. Danse Macabre, their third studio effort, was let loose in August. Just before they hop on board the No Doubt touring machine, The Faint will be in the U.K. for a few shows with And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead, along with I Am Spoonbender and Adult.
Meanwhile, No Doubt are one of the many acts scheduled to perform during the Super Bowl. They’ve booked a date for the Kick-Off Party, which takes place during the pre-game hours of the February 3 game.
