Looks like "American Idol" winner Ruben Studdard will perform in Erie but don't expect a solo concert.
Playbill reports that Studdard will headline an "Ain't Misbehavin'" revival that'll tour the U.S. beginning in November. Playbill lists several cities that will feature the tour, including Erie. Presumably that show would happen in early 2009.
Frenchie Davis, another former "American Idol" contestant, is also in the show. She also appeared on Broadway in "Rent." Richard Maltby Jr., who directed the original "Ain't Misbehavin'" show on Broadway in 1978, will return to mount this touring production.

Billboard reports that Slipknot and Disturbed will coheadline a Rockstar Mayhem tour in July and August. No venues have been announced yet. Disturbed releases its next CD, "Indestructable," in May. Slipknot has a new one due in August, according to Billboard.
The magazine also listed several artists who are booked for the Vans Warped Tour this summer. Gym Class Heroes, The Academy Is ..., Relient K, Every Time I Die, and the Bronx are on the bill so far.

Another corporate sponsored tour -- the Honda Civic Tour -- will feature Panic At the Disco, according to Billboard. Motion City Soundtrack and the Hush Sound are likely to join them, the magazine reports. No dates for the spring/summer tour have been announced yet.
"Pretty. Odd.," the next Panic At the Disco CD, is due out March 25, says Billboard.

Rolling Stone magazine reports that members of Led Zeppelin have scheduled a "band meeting" for this month -- presumably to talk about whether or not they'll do any more shows. The world has its fingers crossed.

Droid will open its Guerilla Carnival Tour on Jan. 31 at the Agora Theatre in Cleveland. Ill Nino, Soil, and Bobaflex are also on the bill.
