In a move reminiscent of Bowie's Earthling tour, superpowers Nine Inch Nails and Jane's Addition will play the PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel, NJ on June 6th and the Nikon at Jones Beach on June 7th. It may be another Dave & Goliath match-up, considering Reznor & Co.'s acumen for blistering stage shows that drain the audience and the band equally, but the finally-reunited original Jane's Addiction line-up (back for the first time since their first breakup in 1991) is no dark horse in this bi-headlining tour. Whatever the outcome of the rather Frankstein-esque matchup, the show is guaranteed to be historic and will certainly entertain a capacity crowd. Just because it's Memorial Day weekend doesn't mean you should completely slack off, so get your tickets right now!

Not doubt long counted out by the mainstream, the formerly disbanded Toadies reunited in 2006 and have released two albums, Rock Show and No Deliverance, in as many years. Nearly fourteen years after their only hit single, 1994's "Possum Kingdom" off the Rubberneck album, the Toadies are still very much alive, albeit without the exact lineup that brought them to fleeting fame in the previous decade. The Toadies will play to their many fans at the Fillmore East on May 27th, and if you've got the inkling to go, you'd better make up your mind and get your tickets now!

Buckethead, the man voted Most Likely To Wear A KFC Bucket On His Head And Play With Guns 'N' Roses by his graduating class, will play the BB King Blues Club on May 30th. Clearly not content with the ordinary, the former GNR guitarist and Primus hanger-on released a box set of thirteen albums of unreleased, original material in 2007 alongside two albums under his other pseudonym Death Cube K, a separate five-disc box set, and a live Praxis album, who also released a long-awaited album in 2008. Listing Buckethead's total output over the last three years would likely destroy the internet, so we'll just mention that his most recent albums, Slaughterhouse On The Prairie and A Real Diamond In The Rough, are full of as much metal-shredding and musical weirdness as we've all come to expect from the man with the white mask and the KFC bucket full of long noodley hair. Buckethead is a renowned guitarist and one of the greatest/weirdest live acts in the known universe, so do yourself a favor and get your tickets now before he returns to his home planet!

All-female 80s hit-makers, The Bangles, will play the B.B. King Blues Club on May 24th. It's a testament to the continued popularity of Hoffs & Co. that, with only four albums to their credit (three in the 80s and one in 2003), they still pull off national headlining tours. You can be sure everything from All Over The Place right up to Doll Revolution will make its way into the setlist, including all-time greatest hits like "Eternal Flame" and "Walk Like An Egyptian." Make sure you secure a seat early before this show sells out: get your tickets right now at NYC.com!

Seattle natives and—almost necessarily—Sub Pop artists Band of Horses will play the prestigious Carnegie Hall on June 11th. The band, which has released two albums via the Seattle-based label—are still touring on the strength of 2007's Cease To Begin, which debuted at #35 on the Billboard 200 and rated as one of the top albums of the year, according to Rolling Stone. You can see them in the storied Carnegie Hall, playing songs like the brilliant "Is There A Ghost," but only if you get your tickets right now!
