Today's tour recap includes itinerary announcements, reunion denials and details, and more as compiled by TicketNews on October 31, 2008.

We started our Halloween morning with news that Michael Jackson isn't so keen on the idea of reuniting with his older brothers for a Jackson Five tour and album. Earlier in the week, his brother Jermaine had told the Australian Associated Press that all the original members were on board for a regrouping, with sister Janet Jackson even reportedly agreeing to open on the 2009 tour. But Jacko says, "Not so fast there, Jermaine...." Hmm, sound like any other classic band reunion tiffs that we reported earlier in the week?

“The jig is up, the news is out.”—Styx is back on the road. The classic rockers are back on tour to support a new album and DVD both titled, “One with Everything”. If you’ve seen the track list it looks like a greatest hits album with some new tunes. Not that there is anything wrong with hearing “Renegade” and “Blue Collar Man” again but this is not the case. Recently, Styx collaborated with the Cleveland Youth Orchestra to give some old classics a face lift. All members of the 115-piece orchestra and 56-member chorus are between the ages of 13-19.
