So do we have any idea who is headlining yet?

[johnroxx]

Journey is the headliner...

[weatherman90]

I wonder what this means:

"Minneapolis, MN - Target Center/Casino"

Are they at the Target Center, or the Casino? They should make up their mind!

Good question. I'll send an email in the morning to see if I can get clarification...

[Talisma]

50 gigs in 90 days !!!
Wow, I hope Arnel's vioce can handle that.

I'm guessing it would be best to hit one of the early shows if you want to hear him in prime condition. As Herbie Herbert said in the recent interview with Andrew:

Those songs will get you. They're very difficult to sing. Playing them in the original voice (key) is like murder on a voice.

It's more then likely the Target Center. The nearest casino is 30 miles outside of the cities and even for a Journey tour, it's kind of a small venue.
