I might see Mannheim Steamroller's Christmas concert this year. Last time I skipped it because it's basically the same every year and the band has not, AFAIK, released any new music.
Plus, it pisses me off that they stopped using the old format whereby the first half of the concert would be from the various Fresh Aire albums - hey, I love Christmas music too, but I miss some of that old stuff. And I liked it a lot better when they opened the show with this:

Same, only when they hit Philly. Should be fun. Narrows the list of bands I must see a lot.
I really wanted to see Cage the Elephant and Foo Fighters touring together, but I think they're only together out west.
U2 next month!! I've had these tickets for almost two years! (Bought them in '09 for the concert they were going to have last June, then Bono hurt his back, and they rescheduled for this year...) I Can't Wait! 
Nowhere Man
Commodore
I'm extremely happy to be saying I have tickets for Sublime and 311
Sadly, there isn't much going on of interest this summer. We have a big music festival every summer, but the quality of performers varies greatly. One year I happened to see Don MacLean there, which was literally a once-in-a-lifetime performance since he actually said he'd never play here again. That was about 2 years ago, and it was a great year for that festival with lots of great performers.
This year, with a new amphitheater, they seem to be shifting their audience quite a bit. The festival is more or less a folk music festival, but it seems like there will be lots of rock this year to bring in more people, with the headliners being Broken Social Scene and The Weakerthans, none of which interest me.

I went to Bon Jovi last month. Great show!
I've seen Roger Waters and The Cars this year.
Thursday, the wife and I leave for Las Vegas to see Rush.
I might be going to that show.
I haven't seen Rush since I was in high school. Wish they'd come round here again...
None this year but I am going to Rush on the 30th of this month.
speaking of them check out this Video of a 10 year old girl drumming Tom Sawyer

I think it would be cool if Neil saw this and got her back stage passes.
from what I've heard this is an extremely hard song to play with the time changes etc.
