Back on Thursday we spread the word that Gorillaz’s Escape to Plastic Beach World Tour 2010 would hit North America in October. While we’re still awaiting confirmation of exactly which venues the tour will stop at, Murdoc Niccals, self-proclaimed “King of Gorillaz,” has been tweeting up a storm lately and sharing clues about the cities his band will play.
Our pal and HT contributor Andy Kahn has been keeping track of Niccals’ tweets and shares his guesses about which city the tweet refers to…

As Widespread Panic embarks on the final week of its summer tour, the group has announced plans for an extensive fall tour. The tour kicks off on September 17th in Morgantown, WV and continues through to a three-night stand at the Kiefer UNO Lakefront Arena in New Orleans, LA that ends on Halloween. Along the way JB and the boys will perform two shows at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre in Alpharetta, three nights at the legendary Ryman Auditorium in Nashville and three nights at the Fox in Oakland.

In other Panic news, the band has announced plans to release a follow-up to 2002’s Live In The Classic City live album. Live In The Classic City II will be culled from the same three-night run that took place on April 1-3, 2000 at the Classic Center Theater in Athens that the original release came from. Those legendary shows are among the few in the band’s history in which taping wasn’t allowed. Special guests on Live In The Classic City II include Mike Mills (R.E.M.), percussionist Arvin Scott, producer John Keane and vocalists Daniel Hutchens and Anne Richmond Boston.
