Every year after “American Idol” has filmed its last episode and a winner has been declared, the remaining top ten contestants embark on a tour. Typically it travels all over the United States and takes up most of the summer. And tickets are sold months ahead of time, typically when the show is at its peak ratings, just before the winner is announced. All was on track to go the same way this year, until producers were forced to cancel the first ten shows altogether.

The question people are asking now, is why? Especially those who have already purchased tickets for those ten dates from June 29 — July 14. A spokesperson for the tour released a statement stating,

“Due to production scheduling changes, the American Idol 2013 tour will now begin on July 19 and go through the summer until August 31. The Idols look forward to performing in 30 venues across the country.”

What the spokesperson fails to mention is what exact ‘production scheduling changes’ were necessary. And that’s led many to believe that there were no changes at all; except that the television show did surprisingly badly this year, and drew in some of its lowest ratings ever.

What do you do when you’re an international mega-singer and, after having just had a baby, you don’t want to travel but you do still want to perform? Take up a residency in Vegas, of course! That’s just the predicament that Adele is currently faced with, and it’s one that she’s not only considering, but that would make a lot of sense.

It was in October of 2011 that Adele had to cancel a bunch of tour dates after continual vocal cord hemorrhages risked significant and permanent damage to her voice. She had only been back on the glamor circuit performing for less than a year when she gave birth to her baby boy and announced that she was going to focus on motherhood, although she wasn’t taking a hiatus. At the time she said she was still going to be working on her third album, but that she wouldn’t be touring until at least after its release.

Now, Adele and her fans may have the best of both worlds, as it’s rumored that the British soul singer is headed to Vegas for a residency there.

“Adele is at the top of the Vegas hit list, and she’s seriously considering it as an option,” MTV reported. “She wants to get back to performing but doesn’t want to go on the road so soon after becoming a mum. A Las Vegas residency would mean she could settle in with her family and record her third album all at once.”

Adele has reportedly already started on plans for both. Back in April OK! Magazine reported that she was back in the studio already recording her third album; and it’s also been said that she’s talking to Elton John about doing a residency — someone who’s no stranger to it himself. According to those reports, Sir Elton has highly encouraged Adele to take the residency, and to start performing again.

Do you think Adele will end up in Vegas? Will you go see her if she does?

Back in January Beyonce delighted fans by announcing that she was going to be releasing a new album, and that it would be called Mrs. Carter. After her powerful Super Bowl performance (that did not blow the power out in the Superdome,) she announced that there would also be a tour to go along with it. Following in the footsteps of artists before her, as well as her past studio albums, fans were led to believe that the album would be out before the tour began. Now though, Bey is on the road; and there’s still no new album among their playlists. So, where is Beyonce’s album?

At first the singer announced that the album may be delayed because she was having a hard time finding a “killer lead track” to release. But months later, two tracks have been released — Nuclear, as well as Bow Down/I Been On — and they were incredibly different from Beyonce’s typical style. And fans didn’t like it. Claiming different things, such as the fact that she sounded much angrier than she has on albums past; and that the style resembled Rihanna’s too much.

And according to an insider, the fact that those two songs fell flat are the reason for the delay on the album as a whole.

“No one thought that both records would fall flat,” says the anonymous source. “They were supposed to be her biggest two songs off the album. It’s back to the drawing board. More recording until they get a great album.”

So who knows how long that could be. The good news for fans going to see Beyonce as she travels around on her world tour is that they might be the very first ones to hear some new music!

Beyonce will start her summer tour on June 28 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, where she’ll also be performing on July 1. In between, Beyonce will be taking a trip up to Las Vegas to play at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.

Beyonce Knowles-Carter will then head out on a tour that runs until August, when she wraps it up with three straight shows at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY. In between, Beyonce will perform in Texas, Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, Illinois, Minnesota, Michigan, Canada, Massachusetts, Philadelphia, New Jersey, North Carolina, Washington D.C. and Connecticut.

While Knowles-Carter hasn’t released an album since 2011, with her last single dropping in 2012, she still has plenty of big hits to perform. Those include 2009’s “Halo,” “Sweet Dreams,” “Ego,” and “Run the World (Girls).”

Beyonce’s most recent number one hit on the United States chart was “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It),” back in 2008. She also hit the number three spot that year with “If I Were a Boy.”

Other number one hits include “Irreplaceable,” “Check on It,” “Baby Boy,” and “Crazy in Love.” Expect Knowles-Carter to perform all of those along with other top hits, such as “Déjà vu,” “Ring the Alarm,” “Get Me Bodied,” and “Diva.”

Knowles-Carter has won a total of 17 Grammy Awards, which leaves her beyond only Alison Krauss and Aretha Franklin for the most decorated female artist in the history of the Grammys. She’s also been nominated for Best Actress by the Golden Globe Awards, for her work in Dreamgirls.

A multi-talented performer, Knowles-Carter’s skills go beyond singing and acting, as she’s also a talented dancer who is sure to show off some of her moves in concert.

Beyonce is one of the most beloved artists worldwide, with more than 118 solo albums sold Internationally and about 13 million in the United States. She’s also able to take credit for about 50 million additional sales through the records of Destiny’s Child, which she was a member of.

Don’t miss out on your chance to see Beyonce Knowles-Carter this summer, as all of her shows are likely to be sold out. Get your tickets now!

Josh Groban released his sixth studio album, All That Echoes, back in February of this year, and fans were eagerly anticipating that a tour would soon follow. They haven’t been disappointed. Josh just announced that he is in fact going on tour this year, and that it’s going to be unlike anything he’s ever done before.

Groban’s “In The Round” tour is just that — a tour that places Groban on a revolving stage so that he can interact and be “in the round” with his fans — all of his fans. Or at least those sitting within the first two or three rows of the stage.

“It has been a vision of mine to do a tour in the round for a while now,” Groban said in a press release. “It was just a matter of when was the right time. I have always had moments during the show where I walked through the crowd and interacted with the fans. I felt that now was the time to bring it all together. I can’t wait to bring music from throughout my career, great fun and new experiences to my fans.”

The “In The Round” tour kicks off on October 2 in Boise, Idaho and from there Groban will travel to 22 different cities, wrapping the tour up in Dallas, Texas on November 13. Some of the biggest cities he’ll be visiting are Seattle, Las Vegas, Kansas City, Toronto, Montreal, Pittsburgh, and Tampa, just to name a few. Tickets for Groban’s tour are now on sale, so be sure to get yours today!
