Weekend Ticketing: Holiday shows, Prince, Limp Bizkit, Wu-Tang Clan

Ticket on-sales for holiday radio festivals will roll out at a frantic pace in the coming days. Such shows typically feature a long bill of big names, but the acts typically play short sets.

Meanwhile, two more Prince on-sales are on the horizon, including a just-announced show in Richmond, Va. And watch out for several upcoming Limp Bizkit Anger Management on-sales.
