Television stars Big Time Rush and rising pop sensation Cody Simpson have a joint concert tour that is among the onsales for the weekend ending March 12 as compiled by TicketNews.

Stars of Nickelodeon's hit television show by the same name, boy band Big Time Rush has been surging in popularity with the tween and teen age groups. BTR, as the band is known by their fans, drew the largest audience for a live action program in Nickelodeon's history when their show initially premiered in 2009, and their debut album peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 200 chart.

This was supposed to be the year of Dave Matthews Band's hiatus from touring. Instead, the long-running jam band has asked its fans to save the date for a series of three-day festivals to be staged across the country over the summer, each of which will be headlined by DMB.

"2011 is our 20th anniversary as a band and we want to celebrate by playing music together," the band said in a statement on the official DMB Web site. "While we are still taking the year off from touring, we have decided to plan four multi-day, multi-artist music events that will take place this summer."

Dave Matthews Band plans to take a hiatus from touring in 2011, but the alternative jam band will end this season's round of touring on a high note. Fronted by namesake musician Dave Matthews, the hard-touring group officially announced its plans to close its summer 2010 tour at Wrigley Field in Chicago, IL.

The summer touring titan has scheduled back-to-back ballpark concerts on September 17-18 at the historic home of the Chicago Cubs. The shows will be DMB's last before entering a year-long touring hiatus -- it's first major break from the road in 20 years.
