Coldplay and Tool Announce 2nd Shows and This Week's Show Announcements

This week, we learned that ticket demand for two shows we recently wrote about (Coldplay and Tool) was so overwhelming a second show has been added for each. On Saturday, June 23, Coldplay will perform a second show at American Airlines Center. Tickets for the show are on sale now...

This week, we learned that ticket demand for two shows we recently wrote about (Coldplay and Tool) was so overwhelming a second show has been added for each. On Saturday, June 23, Coldplay will perform a second show at American Airlines Center. Tickets for the show are on sale now at Live Nation. Tool's initial show sold out in a flash, so they've also added a second show for the next day: Saturday, January 21. Tickets will go on sale tomorrow at 10 a.m. at Live Nation.

Over at the Texas Theatre on Saturday, January 14, infamous comedian Neil Hamburger will likely take shots at both acts, as well as Axe Body Spray and Hellman's Mayonnaise.

Also, over at Club Dada, Parade Of Flesh is kicking off 2012 with a rather big show from British pop act Los Campesinos! on Wednesday, February 15. Tickets are available for $14 at Front Gate.

But wait, there's more. Hit the jump for the rest of this week's show announcements.
