In the past, the months just after the first of the year have been very slow for pop concerts. However, that's not the case in 2007. These are the 10 top pop concert tours to watch for in winter and spring 2007.
1. Justin Timberlake
Justin Timberlake successfully put to rest any concerns about a sophomore slump with his second solo collection FutureSex / LoveSounds. So far the album has produced 2 #1 singles. Justin's tour features Pink as opening act.
2. Beyonce
Beyonce's world tour will feature her celebrated all-girl band. They may be seen briefly in the music video for the #1 smash "Irreplaceable."
3. Christina Aguilera
Look for a grand circus theme in Christina Aguilera's concert tour supporting the Back to Basics album. The Pussycat Dolls are the featured opening act for the tour.
4. Fall Out Boy Friends or Enemies
This is your chance to see Fall Out Boy and guest bands in a small venue. Tickets are selling out quickly for these dates, but they could be worth tracking down for this unique opportunity.
5. Gwen Stefani
Some of the songs on Gwen Stefani's new album The Sweet Escape have already been performed in concert, but this time you can expect to see the whole package. This may be the last time to see Gwen Stefani onstage as a solo artist before she re-unites with her bandmates in the group No Doubt.
6. Red Hot Chili Peppers
The Red Hot Chili Peppers continue to tour in support of Stadium Arcadium. Look for special guests Gnarls Barkley in this leg of the tour.
7. John Mayer
On these concert dates, John Mayer will be celebrating his album Continuum being nominated for a Grammy Award for Album of the Year. In addition to stellar musicianship, you can often look forward to some comic surprises in a John Mayer show.
8. The Fray
The smash hit singles "Over My Head (Cable Car)" and "How to Save a Life" have vaulted The Fray to the top ranks of current pop-rock bands. Check them out live to seem them at their best.
9. Taste of Chaos
This is the Warped Tour's winter cousin. As usual, the package tour is packed with hot, hungry bands looking for a breakthrough.
10. Rod Stewart
This is your chance to see a true living legend in early 2007. Celebrating his return to rock songs on the album Still the Same, Rod Stewart takes the stage in a major concert tour.
