Don Henley's Mini Summer Tour of the Midwest and Northeast.
It looks like Don will be doing a mini summer tour in June. Mostly midwest and northeast cities.
I had a feeling he would do a tour in the summer. Do I have to say who's his opening act is. Why can't we get artist like Jewel or Shawn as an opening act. We always get JD & The Straight Shot.

I think tickets go onsale for the public this Friday. Of course presale probably starts tomorrow.

It's because JD (James Dolan) is a mate of Irving's.
Re: Don Henley's Mini Summer Tour of the Midwest and Northeast.
Dolan will play rock'n'roll star for as long as he feels like it, but I doubt it's based solely on a friendship with Azoff. I think he pays them in order to be their opening act. That's just speculation, but it would explain why Don allows it... he gets a cut!
Re: Don Henley's Mini Summer Tour of the Midwest and Northeast.
I just found it strange that we get JD in the US, but he gets other popular stars (e.g. Jewel and Shawn) opening for him when he's touring in Europe and Australia. I wonder if its cheaper for him to have Jewel or Shawn opening for him across the pond than in the US. I rather listen to Jewel or Shawn than JD & the Straight Shot.
Re: Don Henley's Mini Summer Tour of the Midwest and Northeast.
I'm thinking Dolan just doesn't have the time to travel overseas.
I remember when Don consistently had cool opening acts in the USA, too... now he only does if Dolan is busy elsewhere.

JD was support for Don in Europe last summer - maybe Australia and NZ were just to far for JD to travel - they were the lucky ones - it will take me a long time to forget Ballyhoo :grin:

Indeed, I also remember Ballyhoo (not to mention it's extremely long winded introduction!). In fact it makes me laugh just thinking of it! :hilarious: It bordered on 'so bad, it's good'!
I found most of their other songs bearable, if not exactly memorable (although I must admit I personally found it much more enjoyable to ignore JD and watch his female backing singer instead!).

lol! I stand corrected! It's definitely unfortunate Dolan found the time for Europe, my friend!
Re: Don Henley's Mini Summer Tour of the Midwest and Northeast.
I forgot he was in Europe with Don. Shawn was with Don on the first leg of the tour in 2015.
