Alt-rockers 3 Doors Down, Staind and Hinder--who earlier this month announced plans for a late-summer tour--have added a number of new dates to their itinerary, including a formidable run through Canada. As previously reported, the outing kicks off on the Fourth of July, and more shows are expected. Though all three groups are scheduled to appear on most dates, Staind and Hinder will each miss some concerts, so Finger Eleven will fill in on a couple of those dates.

Tina Turner's upcoming return to the concert stage has been met with such an overwhelming fan response that promoters have added several more arena shows to the outing. The initial round of North American dates went on sale May 10 and the first gig--set for Oct. 1 in Kansas City, MO--sold out in two minutes, according to organizers. The tour now spans 24 shows, including second nights in Kansas City, Boston and Toronto, and a third night in the Chicago area.

Country and pop fans will come together once again as Reba McEntire and Kelly Clarkson hook up for another round of dates on their "2 Worlds 2 Voices Tour." Earlier this year, the ladies played to packed houses in 15 US cities, and the demand for additional shows has prompted them to resume the tour in late September to tackle two dozen new arena shows spread across the US and Canada through late November.

The Raconteurs have added more US dates to their current headlining tour behind the band's new studio album, "Consolers of the Lonely." The indie-rock supergroup--which features Jack White of The White Stripes and singer/songwriter Brendan Benson--is now scheduled to hit more than a dozen North American cities through early August.

Alice Cooper has revealed dates for a lengthy summer/fall tour in support of his forthcoming new album, "Along Came a Spider." The veteran shock-rocker will kick off the run at the end of July and plans to touch down in 35 cities through through early September.
