Concerts Update (Jan - May 2011)

Since my last update on 25 November, the number of gigs has swelled and there are a lot more exciting concerts lined up in the first few months of 2011! Of course, the one I'm most looking forward to is JANET's gig on 7 Feb. I've already got my tickets (darn good tix too) and I'm going to do a banner of sorts to hold up during the concert. Need some ideas for slogans...Miss You Much? Or I Get Lonely? Let me think about it.

Oh, Akon's concert on 8 Jan was cancelled at the last minute. Not really surprising because he has been here twice before, and I think Indoor Stadium is really too big for him. To me, he's a Club artist. The energy works better in a smaller venue for him. So too bad then.

Anyway, here's the most updated concert schedule for now. In addition, there are two more bands that have been confirmed but not announced yet, so I shall list them only when the information becomes publicly available.
