South Florida seems to be a haven for jam bands of late. Hot new acts like the Heavy Pets are making their mark, the Jam Cruise announced its biggest lineup yet, and when Langerado dropped the jam, the festival folded. Perpetual Groove is coming to cash in on the Jam…

Fresh off dropping their longtime record label Geffen, Counting Crows is going on tour and making a stop in Miami at Bayfront Amphitheater. The Counting Crows, who were huge for a few years in the 90s with the single “Mr. Jones”, have been not so steadily touring ever since. Lead…

All of your future holiday plans are falling into place: New Year’s is covered with STS9, and now you can get an early start on Halloween with German industrial/goth band KMFDM coming to Respectable Street on October 30. These uber-political (see what I did there?) industrial pioneers have been blasting…

How’s this for advanced notice? STS9 has announced a January 2, 2010 show at Revolution Live in Fort Lauderdale. The electronic rockers, who have a massive following in both the dance circuit and the jam circles, are giving fans plenty of notice for their upcoming show, presumably so you can…

David Crosby, Stephen Stills, and Graham Nash, who have been playing together for over 40 years, are back on the road again, promoting nothing but their extensive catalog and undying passion for music. And that passion must be strong for these guys to STILL be touring after all this time…

Best known for writing the theme song for One Tree Hill, singer/songwriter Gavin DeGraw is hitting the road to support his new album “Free”. Collective Soul, best known for a slew of similar sounding songs in the 1990s, will be joining DeGraw on this particular show as well. This tour…

They haven’t released a new album in six years, but that won’t stop Blink 182 from touring. Nope, not even drummers getting into plane crashes can keep these pop-punk rockers apart. Blink 182 has announced its much-heralded reunion tour will make a stop in West Palm Beach at Cruzan Amphitheater…

If you’ve seen Rock Star starring Mark Wahlberg, you know (at least Hollywood’s version) the story of how Tim “Ripper” Owens came to be lead singer of the Rob Halford-less Judas Priest. Long story very short: Halford left the band to thrash solo. Meanwhile Ripper Owens was in a Judas…

Piano Goddess Tori Amos just announced a tour of theaters across the U.S., and the Fillmore Miami Beach islucky enough to have her on July 29. Tori is promoting her newest album, Abnormally Attracted to Sin, which is set for a May 19 release date. Last year, Amos hooked back…

Aerosmith is doing a big promotional push on their newest video game: Guitar Hero: Aerosmith, and part of that promotion involves you. Before each…

No matter what you think of Sugar Ray, you’ve got to respect their choice of titles for their upcoming CD: Music for Cougars. You’ve also got to respect the band that’s been around since 1992 and has admitted it’s failed at trying to branch out and change their sound. In…

This might be hard to believe, but you can’t go see The Beatles live anymore, unless you have some sort of resurrection or time traveling technology. If you do have said technology and are using to see The Beatles, you’ve got some problems, so let Crossfade help you out. The…

The aptly titled “Blazed and Confused Tour” is making a stop at Bicentennial Park in Miami on Saturday August 1. Snoop Dogg’s slated appearance for the canceled Langerado was one of the most anticipated of the year, so here’s your new chance to get incredibly high (on music of course)…

Indie Pop Rockers The Cab have announced an August 1st show at Culture Room. You might not have heard of The Cab quite yet (unless you play Rock Band 2), but that’s probably going to change. They’ve recently signed to Decaydance Records, aka Fall Out Boy’s Pete Pentz’s label. With…

Drop Dead, Gorgeous, who have the most well placed comma in band name history, are coming to Fort Lauderdale on June 26, and they’re not coming alone. Dubbed the “Hot N Heavy Tour”, Drop Dead, Gorgeous are joining up with He Is Legend, Before Their Eyes, What Out There’s Ghosts,…

Looking for some help coming down off the heaps of drugs you’ve been consuming? Chilling out with some ambient-house might not be a bad idea, and you can thank The Orb for the genre. They weren’t the first group of DJ’s to spin the ultra-chill beats, but for a while…

He’s such a baby because the Dolphins make him cry, and he’s teaming up with Rascal Flatts in support of his recent (three years is recent right?) turn to country music. Darius Rucker, the lead singer of the on again off again Hootie & The Blowfish, decided to go solo…
