Here's good news for area Police fans. The trio's big reunion tour will hit Cleveland after all.
Live Nation on Tuesday announced the Police will play Quicken Loands Arena on July 16. Tickets go on sale Saturday at 10 a.m. at Ticketmaster outlets and they will sell out, quickly. Every other Police show -- including stadium concerts -- has sold out instantly.

Tickets will cost $200, $90, and $50. The original Police itinerary indicated the band would play Columbus, Ohio, instead of Cleveland. Luckily for us, those plans changed.

The Police have announced they will return in November for more North American dates, starting with one in Toronto. But other cities have not been announced yet.

Fiction Plane -- which features Sting's son -- will open the Cleveland show.

Erie Celtic band Ischabaha will play a CD release party for "Celi Dreams & Other Things" on March 10 at 8 p.m. at Molly Brannigans. As you'd expect, it's a fun, lively, exuberant set that includes not only traditionals but original songs, as well, such as "Halfway to St. Patrick's Day." Look for more on the band in the March 8 Showcase.

Congratulations to Key West Express, which will play Jimmy Buffett's Margarativille in Key West, Fla. from March 6-12. More than 100 area KWE fans plan to support them on the trip -- and to also enjoy warmer weather than we have here.

Key West's long association with Peter Mayer, plus Club Trini -- which features members of Buffett's back-up band -- certainly had a lot to do with the group earning the invite. But they wouldn't get one if they weren't also good. Here's hoping Mayer or the man himself joins them on stage during their gig. That'd be amazing.

Also, fans of local music will find something new on rockerie.com starting March 1. Dr. Rock will talk about five local songs he likes -- and also air them, in their entirety. The podcast will be available for listening the entire month. On April 1 and then every month after, the Doctor will talk about five more songs.
