Michael Jackson’s memorial service and Van Morrison’s summer concerts are just part of the daily tour recap for July 6, as compiled by TicketNews.

More than 1.6 million fans entered a random lottery over the weekend to receive free tickets to Michael Jackson’s memorial service, but only 17,500 tickets were doled out. Some ticketholders are hoping that the high demand for and limited supply of service passes will result in a big pay day online as they try to sell their extra tickets.

In the day’s other iconic artist news, Van Morrison has lined up some extra “Astral Weeks” concerts for the Northeast U.S. this summer. Three recent Aerosmith concerts were postponed after Steven Tyler sustained an injury, though an official announcement has not been made and rescheduled dates are to be announced. Also, classic duo Loggins & Messina will fill most of the fall months with an extensive North American tour.

In festival news, the Jazz Festival 55 lineup continues to grow with the recent addition of Jane Monheit and the James Carter Organ Trio. Meanwhile, the 15th annual Essence Music Festival drew its largest ever crowds over the holiday weekend, nearly doubling last year’s draw.
