Police tour...

Okay, yeah, you got me... I'm a bit geeked about the upcoming Police tour. I've been looking forward to something like this for a while, because I never got to see them in the 80s.

So I was pretty excited when I saw the Dallas tour date in Star Time this morning. For those who care, the Police will be playing the American Airlines Center in Dallas on June 26.

I've found two ways to get presale tickets so far, so if you wait for the general Ticketbastard onsale date, you're probably going to have a row ZZZ seat. Bring a hankie along for those nosebleeds...

One way to get on the presale wagon is to be a Best Buy Reward Zone member as of Feb. 1. I've got that covered, so that makes me happy... If you're a Reward Zone member, keep checking out the Reward Zone website for presale info.

If you're not part of that happy family, you can join the Police fan club at thePoliceTour.com. They are also promising a fan club premium of some sort, so presale + premium = $100 (the cost of the membership, bleargh...)

Not sure how much tickets are going to be, so that might quell my enthusiasm a bit, but we'll see...

But the really interesting part is that the Police are headlining Bonnaroo this summer, along with an amazing list of musicians (and a couple of comedians at the end): The Police • Tool • Widespread Panic • The White Stripes • Ben Harper & the Innocent Criminals • Wilco • The Flaming Lips • MANU CHAO Radio Bemba Sound System • The String Cheese Incident • Franz Ferdinand • Bob Weir & Ratdog • Damien Rice • Ween • Gov't Mule • Ziggy Marley • The Decemberists • Kings of Leon • Michael Franti & Spearhead • Wolfmother • Regina Spektor • The Black Keys • Galactic • DJ Shadow • Gillian Welch • Spoon • Keller Williams (WMD'S) • Sasha & John Digweed • STS9 • Old Crow Medicine Show • The Hold Steady • Lily Allen • North Mississippi Allstars • Fountains Of Wayne • Hot Tuna • Feist • Hot Chip • John Butler Trio • Ralph Stanley & the Clinch Mountain Boys • Aesop Rock • The Richard Thompson Band • Dierks Bentley • James Blood Ulmer • Xavier Rudd • Gogol Bordello • Junior Brown • Tortoise • T-Bone Burnett • Mavis Staples • Clutch • Cold War Kids • Dr. Dog • Paolo Nutini • Brazilian Girls • RX Bandits • The Nightwatchman • The Slip • Girl Talk • Railroad Earth • Martha Wainwright • Rodrigo y Gabriela • Annuals • Tea Leaf Green • Sam Roberts Band • Elvis Perkins in Dearland • Charlie Louvin • Sonya Kitchell • Mute Math • Apollo Sunshine • Uncle Earl • The National • The Little Ones • Black Angels • Ryan Shaw • Lewis Black & Friends • Dave Attell • David Cross •
