Tour Dates

Super funny funnyman Aziz Ansari, who you may know as Raaaaaaaandy or as Tom Haverford on the show Parks and Recreation, is heading out on a tour he has labled the Dangerously Delicious Tour.  Pretty solid name for a tour and/or a hooker.  According to his twitter this will be all new material and nothing that is featured on the hilarious Intimate Moments For A Sensual Evening special.  The Dangerously Delicious Tour begins June 10th in South Carolina right before Ansari's stop at Bonnaroo, and ends nearby September 18th in Atlanta after covering much of the country.

Former late night show host and all around handsome gentleman Conan O'Brien is hitting the road.  Team Coco have just announced the incredibly awesomely titled The Legally Prohibited From Being Funny Tour.  The thirty show tour hits pretty much every major market and then some, including a stop at that thing they call Bonnaroo.  The awesome in Tennesee just got a lot better hair.

Not many details are known from now but tickets are already on sale.  One can assume the normal talk show type antics will be featured but I can at least let you in on what the website is promising.

A night of music, comedy, hugging, and the occasional awkward silence.

Love it.  Tickets are available now through Ticketmaster, get em while they're hot.  Complete tour dates are listed after the jump.  [via hidden track] More Awesome Stuff to Read

We already mentioned Thom Yorke's new side project was going to make an appearance at this year's Coachella festival, but at the time it appeared to just be a one and done type thing.  Fret not young Radioheaders, even for those that don't feel like heading out to the deseret to get their indie hipster on should find some comfort in the newly announced Atoms For Peace tour.  Via Thom

One of the many advantages of living in Los Angeles is having a historic venue that gets people excited.  I know this is nothing specific to Los Angeles but a night at the Hollywood Bowl has its own unique appeal that gets lost amongst the Gorges and Red Rocks of the world.  Apparently this year's Bowl season is going to get off to a pretty spectacular start considering that the newest, and first, show on the schedule is none other than Sir Paul McCartney.  

The ex-Beatle's show is set for March 30th with tickets scheduled to go on sale this Sunday February 28th, with American Express and Fan Club presales beginning tomorrow.  There is also a rumor going around that a second show will be added for March 31st after the inevitable sellout Sunday, we'll keep you posted.  Tickets for the show will be sold through Ticketmaster and available here.

Of course for those not in Los Angeles, full tour details should be announced soon. For now the only other show is a March 28th engagement in Glendale, AZ at the historic Jobing.com Arena.  Sweet name.  Those tickets can be found here.

Even though The Strokes are finally recording a new album they hope to release in September, frontman Julian Casablancas is hitting the road in support of his awesome solo album Phrazes For The Young .  As for now the dates start March 26th in Atlanta, Georgia and lead into his appearance at the Coachella Music Festival.  No word yet on any awesome late night appearances.
