Must be Monday ... more gigs announced



* American Music Award winner Keith Urban and Miranda Lambert will headline the 2010 edition of Big Valley Jamboree in Camrose.

The country camp-out, which runs July 29 to Aug. 1, will also feature sets by Tracy Lawrence, The Oak Ridge Boys, Jack Ingram, Doc Walker, Chrystal Shawanda, and the king of generosity, Kevin Costner & Modern West.

The Hollywood actor and his bandmates were waiting to perform at this year’s Big Valley when a wind storm ravaged the mainstage, killing a Lloydminster mother, Donna Moore, and injuring dozens of others. Afterwards, Costner donated several items — including a dinner with himself — at Global Edmonton’s auction to raise money for Moore’s two young sons.

Early-bird Jamboree tickets are now on sale. Three-day adult and youth passes are $155 plus service charges until Jan. 29. They’re available through the Big Valley box office, 1-888-404-1234, or Ticketmaster.

* Switchfoot will kick up a rock ‘n’ roll hurricane on Friday, Jan. 15 at the Starlite Room. Tickets are $21.50 plus service charges. On sale: Friday, Nov. 27 at Ticketmaster.

The San Diego rockers and surfers are best known for their 2003 hit, Meant To Live. Their new album, Hello Hurricane, was released earlier this month. It’s the first of four recorded by Switchfoot. The next, Vice Verses, is scheduled for 2010.

* Loverboy and Barney Bentall will team up for an ‘80s flashback on Saturday, Feb. 6 at the River Cree Resort & Casino. Tickets are $39.50 plus service charges. On sale: Friday, Nov. 27 at Ticketmaster.

* Tickets to John Mayer’s April 4 show at Rexall Place will go on sale this Saturday, Nov. 28.
Prices range from $40.50 to $86 plus service charges.

(P.S. Mayer is using paperless tickets for his Edmonton show. To get in, fans will have to show up at Rexall with the same credit card used to buy their tickets.)

* Tickets to Lonestar’s Jan. 30 gig at River Cree will go on sale Friday, Nov. 27 at Ticketmaster. Prices are $39.50 and $49.50 plus service charges. The country act is subbing in for the Trailer Park Boys, who had to cancel their gig due to a scheduling conflict.

* George Thorogood & The Destroyers will perform May 19 at the Jubilee Auditorium. Tickets are $45 to $85 plus service charges. On sale: Friday, Nov. 27 at Ticketmaster.
