From the unlikely band reunion department comes this: the classic Triumph line-up with Rik Emmett, Mike Levine, and Gil Moore will reunite in 2008.
The band has agreed to play the Sweden Rock Festival, set for June 4-7. They'll join a pretty strong lineup with Judas Priest, Def Leppard, Blue Oyster Cult, and Whitenake, among others.
There's no word yet if the prog-rock -- and later -- arena-rock band will stay together for more shows, or a longer tour. But it's hard to imagine them reuniting for just one gig.

If you're looking for something fun on Saturday, check out Jason Ricci & New Blood over at Docksider. Ricci plays harp like no one else, with a thick aggressive style that can make it sound like other instruments. His band -- which includes Erie's Ron Sutton on drums --
plays scorching rocking blues. Ricci has been known to play 3 to 4 hour shows; he's got one of those skinny, Steven Tyler/ Mick Jagger rock-star builds and an endless amount of energy. He's a showman, as as fans of Erie's 8 Great Tuesdays may recall. A few years ago Ricci opened for Rick Derringer.

If you're off work on Monday, you can get into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland for free. The hall celebrates Martin Luther King by not only offering free admission but several events, including a performance by the Persuasions and an appearance by actress Angela Bassett.

Jimmy Eat World and fast-rising stars Paramore will co-headline a U.S. tour starting in March. Dates have yet to be announced but wouldn't this be a good one for the Warner?

Rush released its 2008 tour itinerary on Friday. The only area date: July 2 at Post-Gazette Pavilion in Burgettstown, near Pittsburgh.

Robert Plant and Alison Krauss will tour together to support their surprise hit, "Raising Sand." Only four April dates have been released so far. They head to Europe after that, but will return for a more extensive U.S. tour in June and July.. How all this might affect a possible Led Zeppelin tour remains to be seen.
