  Clearing out a slight backlog, we've got more national acts than usual to add to this week's list. And with summer only a few months away, now's the time for the big outdoor venues to fill their calendars. Besides the acts in the headline, you can look forward to Motley Crue, Godsmack and Depeche Mode. Oh, and don't despair just because your favorite band hasn't announced a Dallas date yet--plenty of tribute bands are in this week's list, all after the jump.

  Your daily dose of national music news for Friday, May 29, 2009... The latest installment of Dr Pepper's "Trust Me I'm A Doctor" campaign may be the only time we will get to hear anything off of Dr. Dre's long in-the-works Detox... for now.  It's always nice to see how art and commerce come together. Rihanna has been subpoenaed to testify in Chris Brown's pre-trial hearing. Will this harm her street cred and turn her into a snitch? Depeche Mode will resume the band's world tour

  They're doing it again. Live Nation is offering $24.99 (and, in a couple cases, $19.99) lawn tickets for select Starplex (I still refuse to call it Superpages.com Center) shows today only during this week's installment of No Service Charge Wednesday.

This week, they're throwing parking plus a free hot dog and soda into the deal. Follow the jump for the full list of concerts offerin

  The incomparable Mr. Dallas takes his turn as guest DJ at PM Lounge in the Joule on Saturday night. His shift kicks off at 9:45--rather fitting, considering his, um, experience level. The set will consist of Depeche Mode, Kraftwerk, Musical Youth and maybe some Hooked on Classics...No, not really.

• Gig Alert: VNV Nation and War Tapes at the Granada Tonight

  VNV NationListening to VNV Nation is reminiscent of listening to alternative music when it was a viable and legitimate form of music. The band isn't something you're going to hear on a traditional modern rock radio station; combining elements of electronica, dance music and a little bit of industrial for good measure, VNV Nation is the sound for kids who missed out on Nine Inch Nails in the early '90s. And the dour sound of the vocals actually meshes quite well with the upbeat electronic sound.

• Weekend Roundup: Toadies, Depeche Mode, Peter Bjorn & John

  Dia de los Toadies at Rough Creek Ranch in Glen Rose Saturday, August 29The Toadies playing "Possum Kingdom" at Possum Kingdom is almost too much for my brain to handle, so it's probably best the second annual Dia de los Toadies headed away from that lake for this year's fest. No Toadies set is complete, though, without the crowd shouting along to the band's classic "Possum Kingdom"--and neither disappoints here.

  I attempt to lift my pen peck my keyboard today with a heavy heart, and an empty stomach. For, alas, two staples of my life's diet are no more. R.I.P., NIN. And Luby's, 4:45 p.m. dinners will never taste the same. Trent Reznor, one of the most chaotic, rhythmic, unique and dark noisemakers of a generation, disbanded Nine Inch Nails last month. Just as I was emerging from that coma, an even worse diagnosis: Marriage. The freakiest of front men is selling his soul to some chick na
