What I love about summer concerts is that it's never too soon to start planning for them.

I just got word from Rio Tinto Stadium officials that they have booked a big, big act for late July 2012. They told me, and I'm pretty excited. Not everyone will be excited, but plenty will be excited.

I will be able to release much more info about it on Tuesday, but am not allowed to say much more than ... freedom's light will be burning warm next summer.
