Brad Paisley brings his 2010 H2O WORLD Tour to South Florida!

Brad Paisley has announced dates for his latest arena outing, a summer-long trek christened the 2010 H2O WORLD Tour which the singer hopes will draw attention to the plight of people without safe drinking water.

Paisley is partnering with 'Hope Through Healing Hands' campaign for access to clean, safe water on the trek, which kicks off May 21st in Virginia Beach, VA, and runs into late September 2010. Donations will be solicited at each tour step to help HTHH dig wells and provide clean water in the US and around the world. Darius Rucker and Justin Moore will be along as special guests on the outing. "I've never been this excited about a tour," the country star said in a press release. "After one of the worst winters I can remember, we're going to make up for it this summer."

Earlier this month, Paisley was transported to a hospital by ambulance after falling on stage during a performance in Charleston, SC. The singer, who bounced back up and finished the show before leaving for the hospital, was examined by doctors and found to be badly bruised but otherwise not seriously injured, and was subsequently discharged.

Paisley has performed for more than 1.2 million people over the last 12 months, selling out shows in 52 of the 75 cities he's appeared in, according to a press release. A fan at Paisley's October 15, 2009 show in Jacksonville, FL, was selected as Paisley's one-millionth ticket-holder of the year and presented with a 2009 Chevy truck.

Released last June 2009, "American Saturday Night" (Paisley's eighth studio set) debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's Top Country Albums chart and No. 2 on The Billboard 200.

Brad Paisley will be at the Cruzan Amphitheatre in West Palm Beach, Florida on Saturday August 14, 2010.

Robert Plant and his all-star Band of Joy hit South Florida this Summer!

Robert Plant will preview material from a new studio album recorded with his all-star Band of Joy during a US tour in July 2010.

The 12-city trek gets underway July 13th in Memphis, TN, and concludes July 31st in Miami, with stops along the way in Phoenix, Dallas and Houston among the highlights.

Featuring the same backing group that will appear with him during the July dates: vocalist Patty Griffin, multi-instrumentalist Darrell Scott, bassist Byron House, drummer Marco Giovino and guitarist Buddy Miller, who also co-produced the forthcoming album -- Plant's still-untitled new studio set is due sometime later this year on the Rounder label, and will follow in the footsteps of the former Led Zeppelin frontman's recent roots-tinged efforts.

"It's been a blast working on these new songs... and I'm enjoying such creativity and vitality," Plant said in a statement. "It's been a remarkable change of direction for all of us and as a group we all seem to have developed a new groove."

Plant has kept a relatively low profile over the last year, since hauling home five Grammys for "Raising Sand," his collaboration with bluegrass star Alison Krauss. The pair's prize haul last February included awards for Album of the Year and Record of the Year for the set's single "Please Read the Letter."

The duo toured behind the release extensively last year and in 2008. Krauss has recently been working on new material in the recording studio with her longtime band, Union Station.

Robert Plant and his all-star Band of Joy will be at the Bayfront Park Amphitheatre in downtown Miami, Florida on Saturday July 31, 2010.

CMN and Live Nation will be producing the entire U.S. tour for the international music icon and winner of the 2010 Premio Lo Nuestro "Excellence Award.

Chayanne released his latest musical production, "No Hay Imposibles," on February 23, 2010. The album, recorded between Miami, Puerto Rico, Los Angeles, Bogota and Buenos Aires, signals the return of the Puerto Rican singing icon to the music scene after almost two years of being involved with other projects. The album's first single, "Me Enamore De Ti," is also the theme to the popular Mexican soap opera, 'Corazon Salvaje'. In all, 11 tracks make up Chayanne's latest musical endeavor, with something for everyone, from melodious ballads to unmistakable uptempos.

He starred in a TV miniseries, 'Gabriel' and, once he concluded that, he tackled music head on, seeking songs for "No Hay Imposibles;" working with general producer Javier Diaz and with other renowned industry veterans such as Julio Reyes, Sebastian Krys, Pablo Duran and Rene Toledo and promoting up-and-coming talents, such as young Venezuelan composer Paolo Tondo, author of "Me Enamore De Ti," among other songs.
