With festival announcements, line-ups and promo getting cooler and quirkier every year - Bonnaroo made sure that they continue to set the standard by recruiting ESPN anchor John Anderson to assist on their announcement.

Relishing in former non-existent band glory, Anderson delivers a few funny words before the video goes all synthed out and cartoony with the list of artists performing at Bonnaroo 2012. Hard to imagine them topping their 10th anniversary line-up - but they may have done it with this one!

Justice Announces Tour; Fuels Coachella Line-Up Predictions

Groundbreaking electronic duo Justice have finally announced a tour to support their sophomore album “Audio, Video, Disco,” which was recently released on Elektra. The 2012 tour returns Justice to the States for the first time in over two years.

Justice have staked their feet in the music industry soil, proving their potential for an extended and more ubiquitous career by progressing their sound and expanding their musical vocabulary following a successful debut album. Justice 's follow up is clearly rooted in their familiar electronic foundation, but adds more than a few traces of their musically sophisticated prog influences. Already known for their dance floor frenzies, this latest release might even pull a few rockers away from the punch bowl and into the party pool.

In addition to the tour announcement, Justice has a few cool things planned around it including a “cover our songs” style contest for the chance to see the first show of the tour on New Year’s Day in Sydney, Australia. (More details here)

Other stops on this tour include New York, Boston, Philadelphia, DC, Atlanta and Las Vegas, to name a few, but we have a sneaking suspicion there could be something more in Indio, CA. The US portion of the tour goes from March 16 to April 25, with Los Angeles conveniently left off the itinerary and with two key weekends in April left vacant. To us, that sounds like a near guarantee that they’ll show up at Coachella 2012. No, Justice haven’t been confirmed by any means, but we are so confident in our trusty crystal ball that we will pay everyone who shares this article $1 if we they don't show up in Indio, CA in April 2012. Go ahead, spread this one. We dare you!

Full US tour schedule (so far):

3/16/12 New York, NY Terminal 5

3/17/12 New York, NY Terminal 5

3/19/12 Boston, MA House of Blues

3/20/12 Philadelphia, PA Electric Factory

3/21/12 Washington, DC 9:30 Club

3/22/12 Atlanta, GA The Tabernacle

4/17/12 Oakland, CA Fox Theater

4/19/12 Las Vegas, NV The Pool - The Cosmopolitan Las Vegas

4/24/12 Portland, OR Roseland Theater

4/25/12 Seattle, WA Paramount Theatre

Radiohead Announce Dates for US Tour in 2012

Radiohead is giving fans reason to celebrate this week with their announcement of an official 2012 U.S tour!

Making their first stop on February 27th at the American Airlines Arena in Miami, this highly exclusive and ultra-amazing band will rock what may be some of the most anticipated concerts of the year. Led by the great Thom Yorke, the band will set sail in support of their eighth album, "The King of Limbs."

Whether they’re making music or touring, Radiohead definitely knows how to heighten our excitement, allowing for a lengthy period of absence between creative projects. The band’s last full-scale statewide tour closed in August of 2008, leaving a heavy four-year hiatus, which added more than enough fuel to their fans’ gusto.

Selling more than 200,000 copies since its February release, “The King of Limbs” adds to their already extensive repertoire of breakthrough music. The tour will feature indie-rockers, Other Lives, who’ve already made a mark touring with Bon Iver. Their haunting and ethereal sound is sure to compliment the unconventionally innovative feel Radiohead will bring to this tour.

With a limited amount of cities listed on their site as of today, it’s still too early to regard their tour dates as concrete, especially considering major cities like Los Angeles and New York have yet to make the bill. General tickets for the shows will go on sale this Saturday, while SUPERGOODMUSIC waits for Radiohead to announce more dates SOON.

So far, here are some set dates:


» February 27 - Miami, FL @ American Airlines Arena


» February 29 - Tampa, FL @ The St. Pete Times Forum


» March 1 - Atlanta, GA @ Philips Arena


» March 3 - Houston, TX @ Toyota Center


» March 5 - Dallas, TX @ American Airlines Center


» March 7 - Austin, TX @ Frank Erwin Center


» March 9 - St. Louis, MO @ Scottrade Center


» March 11 - Kansas City, MO @ Sprint Center


» March 13 - Broomfield, CO @ 1stBank Center


» March 15 - Glendale, AZ @ Jobing.com Arena

Electric Forest Announces Dates for 2012

Already getting amped for Electric Forest Festival in 2012 - because last year it was definitely one of the coolest festivals I attended. No line-up clues - but the dates for the Madison House and Insomniac curated event will be June 28th - July 1st, 2012.

Peep their cool trailer, which has excellent music, below:

Watch The Throne Announcement Coming MONDAY

Hova and Yeezy are just too popular. The Watch The Throne tour announcement had so many people jumping out the box that they are adding dates and modifying routing.

As a result of the juggling - the schedule will be re-announced on Monday with changes and the presales officially start August 2nd.

You all know this will sell out...and quickly. So get on your grind and make arrangements to get tickets. Find your friend with a Citi card because they will have presale access beginning August 3rd, well in advance of the public on sale on August 8th via Ticketmaster.com and Livenation.com.

Identity Announced: 1st Traveling Exclusive Electronic Music Festival

Just when I thought festival announcements were over, MSO Publicity puts out a press release about the first ever traveling electronic only music festival that is hitting approximately 20 cities in August and September. The disappointment of missing Ultra Music Festival and possibly Camp Bisco and EDC suddenly turned into optimism with one open of my e-mail box.

Without revealing the full line-up, we already know that the traveling, multi-stage IDENTITY festival is going to feature the likenesses of heavy hitters (and personal favorites) like Pretty Lights, Rusko, Disco Biscuits, Skrillex, DJ Shadow, Holy Ghost! and more, including Chad Hugo (of N.E.R.D.), Dim Mak's Steve Aoki, Chuckie, The Crystal Method, Avicii. Furthermore, the fest has partnered with Beatport to give it the appropriate street cred (and probably make some cool ticket and music purchase packages available).

More artists are going to be revealed in May when they intend on announcing the cities. For now, you can check out www.IDFestival.com for more information.

I can't wait for the full announcement. The only thing that would make me more excited is if 12th Planet were added!

The line up for IDENTITY currently is:

KASKADE
PRETTY LIGHTS
RUSKO
AVICII
STEVE AOKI
DISCO BISCUITS
DJ SHADOW
