Jack Johnson Tickets – Jack Johnson to Play Mile High Music Festival While on Tour

Everyone’s favorite surfer-turned-musician Jack Johnson is touring in support of his fifth studio album To the Sea this summer, and Pollstar.com reported that he will make a stop at Denver, Colorado’s Mile High Music Festival while on the road. The festival takes place at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park on Aug. 14 and 15 and will see Johnson co-headlining with the Dave Matthews Band. Johnson and the Steve Miller Band will lead the bill for the first day of the event—which will also feature performances by artists like Phoenix, Keller Williams, Donavon Frankenreiter and others—while DMB will perform along with My Morning Jacket, Weezer, Atmosphere and more on the second and final day of the Mile High Music Festival.

The follow-up to his 2008 platinum-selling album Sleep Through the Static, To the Sea will arrive via Johnson’s own Brushfire Records on June 1. According to the official Universal Republic Records site, the album was co-produced by Johnson and his bandmates Merlo Podlewski (bass), Zach Gill (keyboard) and Adam Topol (drums) with Johnson’s longtime engineer Robert Carranza. Johnson recorded To the Sea at his pair of solar-powered studios: The Mango Tree in his native Hawaii and the Solar Powered Plastic Plant in Los Angeles. “You and Your Heart,” the lead single off To the Sea, arrived on April 3 and features the mellow-minded artist singing the chorus, “But you and your heart / Shouldn’t feel so apart / You can choose what you take / Why you gotta break and make it feel so hard.”

Before he embarks on his summer road trip, Johnson will host the Kokua Festival in Honolulu, Hawaii on April 23 and 24. According to Johnson’s official website, the Kokua Hawai’i Foundation supports environmental education in the communities and schools of Hawaii and the festival is its biggest fundraiser of the year. Johnson’s tour in support of To the Sea will officially launch from Berlin, Germany on June 16, after which point he will stop in European cities like Amsterdam, Netherlands; Paris, France; Cornwall, England; Somerset, England (at the Glastonbury Festival); London, England; and Roskilde, Denmark (for the Roskilde Festival) through early July.

Hannah Montana Concert Tickets Sell High

Hannah Montana Concert Tickets Sell High

Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past year you know who Hannah Montana is. Miley Cyrus, star of the Disney channel series hit, “Hannah Montana”. Miley, is the daughter of country music singer Billy Ray Cyrus, and she plays a high school student, Miley Stewart, who lives a secret double life as a famous pop star, Hannah Montana. The show is very popular, as a matter of fact, it reaches five million viewers a week.
You also know that people are going to great lengths to get her concert tickets. How great you might ask. Let me tell you.

Let’s start with this little tidbit I read about. On January 3rd, country station Y-108 held a contest of a different sort. First it was held in a mall. It was designed for dads of little girls. These dads were required to wear a blond Hannah wig, a black dress and 2-inch heels while running through the mall doing some wild things. All this to win tickets to a Hannah Montana concert!

And let’s not forget the infamous essay contest that was held. According to sources a mother/daughter duo entered the writing contest in hopes of winning the concert tickets. The essay stated that the little girl’s father died in Iraq in a roadside bombing. It was later learned that the little girl’s father did not die in Iraq, in fact he’s not a soldier. The mother stated that she and her six-year-old daughter wanted to see Hannah Montana in concert and the essay was what they did to try to win the tickets. Officials announced that that mother/daughter duo would not be receiving the grand prize.
