ALICE IN CHAINS To Support KID ROCK In Detroit
Blabbermouth.net
ALICE IN CHAINS will support KID ROCK at Comerica Park in Detroit, Michigan on Saturday, July 18. Also scheduled to appear is CYPRESS HILL. Tickets are on sale via Tickets.com and at the Comerica Park box office.
ALICE IN CHAINS has signed with Virgin Records, a division of EMI Music, for the release of the group's first new album in 14 years. According to a feature in the Los Angeles Times, the yet-to-be-titled disc will be out in mid-September. Production on the project was completed last month after more than a year of writing and recording. The Times writer, who got a preview of some of the material, called the album "recognizably thundering and gloomy," with an acoustic track called "Your Decision" followed by what the reporter described as "a seven-minute epic built on heavy slabs of guitar, drums and bass, something like BLACK SABBATH but far quicker."
The disc will mark the recording debut of vocalist William DuVall, who joined the group in 2006. Original singer Layne Staley died of a drug overdose in 2002 after nearly seven years in which the band was all but inactive.
Guitarist Jerry Cantrell, drummer Sean Kinney and bassist Mike Inez regrouped in 2005 for a charity show before embarking on several tours in 2006 and 2007 with DuVall on the mic.
When asked about stepping into the shoes of Staley, DuVall told the Times, "It's a big thing. I've joined a group that has a strong identity and a strong legacy. Nobody's sitting here who wants to, in any way, disrespect or sully that legacy. You want to add to it."
All of ALICE IN CHAINS' previous albums and EPs were on Columbia Records.

Kid Rock set to offer 2nd show at Comerica Park
By BRIAN McCOLLUM
Free Press Pop Music Writer
Detroit will get a double dose of Kid Rock this summer.
The homegrown rocker is rolling out a second show at Comerica Park, this one on July 18 with openers Alice in Chains and Cypress Hill.
The announcement follows last month’s half-hour sellout of tickets to his July 17 Comerica Park date, his first-ever local stadium concert.
Tickets for the July 18 concert are $69.50, $46.50 and $30, and will go on sale at 10 a.m. May 9 via Tickets.com (not Ticketmaster) and at the Comerica Park box office. A phone-charge option is also available: 866-668-4437.
As with the first show, Rock will offer a six-ticket package of upper deck seats for $99.
Embracing his role as Detroit’s chief party host, Rock is expanding the festivities to include street activities outside Comerica Park both days, with chili cook-offs, auto exhibitions and a local-band stage.
Fans have been clamoring for a second Kid Rock show since tickets for the first time sold out in 27 minutes. At the Web site of rock station WRIF-FM, more than 500 fans signed a petition this week asking for another Kid Rock concert.

Tickets.com Client Spotlight: Comerica Park
Kid Rock tickets go on sale SaturdayAdam Graham / Detroit News Pop Music Writer
Tickets for Kid Rock's July 17 concert at Comerica Park -- the biggest hometown concert the Detroit rocker has ever staged -- go on sale at 10 a.m. Saturday. Prospective ticket buyers should note the online retailer for tickets is tickets.com, not ticketmaster.com.
For those looking to bypass online sales altogether, a wristband policy will be in effect for tickets going on sale at the Comerica Park box office. Wristbands will be handed out at the Tiger Club, on Witherell Street next to the Comerica Park Pro Shop, beginning at 3 p.m. Friday. Individuals will draw a numbered wristband at random, and on Saturday between 8:15-8:30 a.m., one of the 500 numbered wristbands will be chosen. That number will represent the first person in line, the next number will represent the second person in line and so on, all the way through 500 and beginning again with one, until everyone with a numbered wristband gets a place in line. Individuals without wristbands who arrive after 8:45 a.m. will follow those with a wristband in line. Wristbands do not guarantee tickets to the concert.
Tickets are priced at $30, $46.50 and $69.50. Six packs of "party deck" tickets -- that's Kid Rock-speak for upper deck -- will be available for $99, which breaks down to $16.50 per ticket.
