Lilith. Ozzfest. Warped. Countless radio weenie roasts and infinite tentatively-scheduled shows. The coming months were already shaping up to be a sizzling summer, and it looks as though it's just gotten hotter.
On July 16, the first annual Fuse Tour will kick off its forty-three-date journey through these United States at Phoenix's Desert Sky Pavilion, and will burn its way across the country until mid-September. The Goo Goo Dolls, Sugar Ray and Fastball will headline on the main stage, but each venue will feature DJs spinning danceable tunes on one alternate stage and emerging and local artists playing on another.
