Ed Sheeran Plays Summerfest 2015 July 3 | Ticket King Inc.

It’s understandable that Ed Sheeran is one of the hottest singers around right now. His music is easy to like. Sheeran is headlining Summerfest 2015 on July 3. Although he is quite young, he’s already found himself to be a multi platinum, award winning musician. His first album, titled “+” came out in 2011. Since then, he’s written music for films, television, and pop stars such as One Direction, and more. He’s since been nominated for over ninety music related awards, but the one that stands out the most is his 2015 Grammy nomination for the song “I See Fire.”

Sheeran trained his voice by singing in his church choir, and worked very hard at his craft during his high school years. His first foray into the music business started out just like most others, when he released his work without a record label backing him up. In 2005, he put out an EP titled The Orange Room. Four years later, he released yet another EP, this one titled You Need Me. Two years later, Sheeran took a huge risk, and flew to Los Angeles to play on any stage that would have him. He was discovered soon after, and was on his way to release a couple more independently produced disks, before signing to Asylum Records in 2012.

Sheeran Releases “X” and Fans Go Wild

Sheeran has only released two full length albums so far. One is titled “+” and the other “x.” The “X” stands for “multiply.” He’s currently backing up the “X” release by touring through 2015. See him on the Marcus Amphitheater in July!

Keith Urban Summerfest Tickets | Ticket King Inc.

Keith Urban comes to Summerfest 2015, on June 26. Tickets for his Summerfest show can be found here. Urban has been a force in country music since the late 1990’s. He “earned his stripes” by performing all across Australia, as a country music singer and song writer. He wasn’t afraid to mix a bit of rock and roll into his music, and today, he can still “mix it up” with the best in the music industry.

Keith Urban came to Nashville just a couple of years into his career. The lure of that location was very strong, and Nashville took him in with open arms. By the year 2000, he had his first #1 hit song! It’s titled “But For The Grace of God.” He doubled his hit output with the very next album. Someone Like You and Who Wouldn’t Want to Be Me, both hit the top of the charts in 2002.

Urban wasn’t one to grab the “solo spotlight” just yet. He enjoyed touring with other country stars like Kenny Chesney, and Brook & Dunn. Within five short years, he won the “Entertainer of the Year” award from the Country Music Association. By 2006, he found himself holding a Grammy, and giving an acceptance speech for “Best Male Vocalist of the Year.” His latest tour starts in June and runs through most of September. His stop at the Summerfest grounds will also include opening acts such as Phillip Philips.

Motley Crue Comes To Milwaukee in 2015 | Ticket King Inc.

It’s been over a year since Motley Crue announced that this would be their last tour, ever. The band has been on the road for months, and they return to Milwaukee in 2015. Crue fans laughed along with the band when they signed their crazy death pact. This tour and these shows will be the very last.

Motley Crue formed in 1981. This L.A. based band has remained active throughout the decades, taking breaks here and there, but never calling it quits for good. In their first few years, Nikki Sixx was working on and off with Tommy Lee. Eventually, Vince Neil and Mick Mars joined in the effort, and Motley Crue was on their way.

Motley Crue 2015 Tour

The last leg of the very last Motley Crue tour will begin on July 22, in Eugene Oregon. The band will travel along the western states for the last ten days of July, then head to the Midwest in August. The Milwaukee show date is set for August 7, at the BMO Harris Bradley Center. The final show will be on December 31, 2015 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. This is your last chance to see the band, and they mean it.

Dave Matthews Band Returns to Alpine Valley in 2015 | Ticket King Wisconsin

Dave Matthews returns to Wisconsin for two nights in 2015. July 25 and July 26^th are set for Alpine Valley, East Troy Wisconsin. Dave loves to play Alpine, and his fans certainly come out in big numbers. This tour will include some new music from an album that is due to come out this year. Tickets for the show can be found here.

As of November 2014, the band released a three disk set that covered their live show at the Green Theater in Berkeley, CA. This disk will also include a DVD. The disk will be made up of the best songs that were performed during the three show stint. This is not to be confused with the 2015 release.

Dave Matthews Tour Dates for 2015

The summer tour starts in May, with the band performing at the Austin360 Theater on May 13. At the time of this post, the band has booked eight shows for May 2015. In June DMB starts performing in amphitheaters in the southern US, and then it’s off to the east coast. The band will spend most of July on the road. The Wisconsin dates are preceded by a show in Quebec, with a concert at the MidFlorida Credit Union in Tampa just three days after the second Alpine Valley gig. There may be more tour dates added to the 2015 tour, but it looks like the last show will take place on September 13, at the AK-Chin Pavilion in Phoenix.

Packers Road to the Super Bowl Now Goes Through Seattle

Packers fans would probably like to forget their home opener this season. Green Bay lost to a very fired up Seattle Seahawks team. The team just couldn’t put together a solid game plan to counter the Seattle defense. Since that time, there have been a few teams that found a way to win. Green Bay will surely be looking at film, trying to incorporate the game plans of teams like Kansas City, St. Louis, Dallas, and San Diego. Will the Packers head to the Super Bowl? All they need is one more win.

Super Bowl XLIX Tickets

Should Green Bay go on to win at Seattle, Ticket King will have Super Bowl tickets for sale, the moment the NFC Championship game is over. Kickoff for the NFC Championship game is set for 2:05pm this Sunday. The Seahawks are coming off a win against the Carolina Panthers. The Panthers finished their season with a 7-8-1 record. This was one of those rare occasions where a team with a losing record made it to the playoffs. They lost to Seattle twice this season.

Packers Tickets for 2014 Playoffs On Sale Now | Ticket King Inc.

The Green Bay Packers are NFC North Champions for the fourth season in a row. If Green Bay makes it to the Super Bowl, one thing will certainly make the “highlight” reel. The image of Aaron Rodgers heading back to the sidelines after going down just before the half this past Sunday. Packers playoff tickets for the the game at Lambeau are available now. Kickoff is set for January 11, at Green Bay.

Aaron was nursing an injured calf, before heading into the game against the Lions. He was listed as “probable” earlier in the week, and most fans knew he would give it a go. What surprised most fans was the fact that he further injured that same calf while scrambling to his right. Nothing spectacular, just a run to avoid the oncoming rush. He hobbled twice, and flipped the ball to Randall Cobb for a touchdown. The stadium went silent when he didn’t get up. Slowly, a chant rose from the crowd “MVP! MVP!” It was certainly a moment for the football ages. Now, the Packers will get to take next week off, since Green Bay defeated the Lions once again.

Shu Adds Insult To Rodgers’ Injury Late In The Game

Finally, fans across the country witnessed Ndamukong Suh “accidentally” step on Rodgers’ bad calf. The game was almost in the bag for Green Bay when Suh stepped backwards onto Rogers leg with one foot, then another, then pushed off. If you watch the reply from the other side of the field, you can see that T.J. Lang was actually pulling Suh forward, but he still found the need to take a second step back, after certainly knowing that he was stepping on a player. The second step wasn’t so bad, until one notices that Suh seems to push off and put his full weight on the second step. This is not the reaction of someone who finds themselves unintentionally stepping on a player. Also, after years of playing in high school, college, and the pros, a top notch defensive player knows how to stay off another player’s legs, hands, or feet. Either way, the Packers are on their way, and the rest is history.

A Somewhat Humorous Dive Into The Upcoming NCAA Football Bowl Games

<!–[if !mso]>st1\:*{behavior:url(#ieooui) } <![endif]–>

It’s time to take a look at the notable bowl games prior to New Year’s Eve. This week, lets take a look at the “really big” NCAA Football bowl games outside of the playoffs. For this job, we decided to ask our favorite sports guru Tim Bryce to describe each game in a few short sentences.

Peach Bowl, Mississippi vs. TCU – Earlier this season, Mississippi was the second ranked team in the country and two weeks ago it appeared as if TCU was going to back door their way into the playoffs. But Mississippi stumbled to the f

inish line this season and the playoff selection committee chose Ohio State over TCU. TCU’s defense is insane and that will be the difference in this game. TCU will be able to find touchdowns while Mississippi doesn’t. TCU wins by a few scores.

Fiesta Bowl, Boise State vs Arizona – It used to be a huge deal when a mid-major like Boise State made the Fiesta Bowl. Now it is not so big of a deal with the disappearance of the BCS. If the BCS were still in play, neither team would be in this game. But this is the match up we have, and Boise State should win what will be a good game.

Orange Bowl, Mississippi State vs. Georgia Tech – Oh my, Mississippi State is going to wonder for the rest of all eternity what could have been in 2014. The Bulldogs were once the number one ranked team in America and were all but in the playoffs. But two losses to finish the season leaves them in the Orange Bowl against a very underrated Georgia Tech team. If the Bulldogs are not careful, this could be a loss, and I think it will.

Outback Bowl, Auburn vs. Wisconsin – For Outback Bowl tickets, check our inventory here. The old 19 vs. 18 match up features the horrible defense of Auburn versus the inept quarterback play of Bucky Badger. This game features two teams who had good seasons, but were nowhere near the playoffs from the start. This is going to be a high scoring game featuring about eight million rushing yards.

Cotton Bowl, Michigan vs. Baylor – This game is basically Baylor’s unstoppable offense vs. Michigan State’s brick wall of a defense. Whoever wins that war of attrition wins this game.

Linkin Park Summerfest 2015 Tickets | Ticket King Milwaukee

Linkin Park comes to Summerfest 2015 on June 30. This “rap rock” band has been going strong for eighteen years. Although the band has produces just six albums in that time, their following is strong. The band is made up of your basic “guitar, bass, drums, and vocals, but their twist is having Joe Hahn backing that up with turntables and samples. Linkin Park Summerfest tickets are on sale today. Opening for Linkin Park will be A Day To Remember.

Judging by the number of views of their song “Numb”, it’s safe to say that it’s one of their biggest songs, from their most popular album, Meteora. 20 million in sales to date, pretty much puts this disk at the top. It’s been eleven years since that album came out, and while it has its place in the museum of “Alternative” music, the band has certainly evolved. A taste of their more up to date sound can be found on the album titled Living Things. The song “Lost in the Echo” is a fantastic example of a cleaner song, but something that still relies upon that tried and tested rap feel.

In 2014, the band released The Hunting Party. Linkin Park produced the album on their own, and sent Rick Rubin (the famous record producer,) packing before the project began. The album will surely hit “platinum” status. Upon its release, number of units sold was peaking at 149,000 copies after week number two. At the time of this post, the record has sold nearly one million copies worldwide. The album is much more about the “rock” side of things, but with rap styling on the vocal end.

Kenny Chesney Plays Lambeau Field In 2015 | Ticket King Wisconsin

Lambeau Field will host its second concert ever in 2015. Kenny Chesney will return to the Green Bay venue on June 20, 2015, along with Jason Aldean, amidst a summer stadium tour. Chesney is the only act to have played Lambeau Field since its groundbreaking nearly 50 years ago, performing in 2011 in front of a sellout crowd. Despite rave reviews of that 2011 concert and calls to host more live music, ongoing construction over the past three years has forced officials at Lambeau to put a hiatus on events other than football until now.

Chesney’s The Big Revival Tour and Aldean’s Burn It Down Tour are scheduled to coincide for 10 shows at football stadiums across the country. Starting on May 2 in San Francisco and ending in Boston on August 28, the duo’s show at Lambeau will be third on the slate.

The show, expected to last a whopping six hours, will feature a number of other special guests, including Brantley Gilbert and Cole Swindle. Tailgating in the Lambeau Field parking lot will begin at 1PM and the show gets underway at 5PM.

Both Chesney and Aldean are coming off of major Billboard hit releases. Chesney’s album of the same name as his tour managed to top the charts in October with nearly 150,000 copies sold in its’ first week. Aldean, meanwhile, will highlight songs from his wildly successful latest album “Old Boots, New Dirt”.
