Cirque du Soleil: Alegria
July 22 to July 25:
Thursday night, the MTS Centre was Marie Antoinette’s demented court. Thursday night, the arena was a blizzard and a tear-stained path. Thursday night, it was a lonely field guarded only by a moon, a scarecrow and a pair of contortionist nymphs entwined through and around and behind each other.

Bon Jovi with Kid Rock at Canad Inns Stadium
July 17:

Iron Maiden

The British legends returned to Winnipeg Wednesday night for the second time in two years as part of the Final Frontier World Tour.

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
June 19:
With a batch of new songs surrounded by hits, you could say Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers delivered a Mojo sandwich to Winnipeggers Saturday.

Carrie Underwood
June 18:
Dressed in a sharp black tuxedo jacket and bowtie, the Checotah, Oklahoma native rose up onto the stage just after 9 p.m., lounging on a blood-red chaise and snarling through the sparkplug verses of Cowboy Casanova. "If you guys want to sing, sing it loud," she cried to the crowd. "If you want to dance, dance... because it’s just me and you."

ZZ Top
June 15:
After four decades together, the band is perfectly in synch and there are no surprises. Gibbons and Hill even have some minimal stage moves down, moving their instruments and shuffling their feet together in time. They aren't the most dynamic group to watch, but it's about the music with ZZ Top.

RAIN - A Tribute to the Beatles
June 5:
RAIN covers the Fab Four from their very first Ed Sullivan Show appearance through the Abbey Road album, through the psychedelic late 60s and their long-haired hippie, hard-rocking rooftop days. RAIN is a multi-media, multi-dimensional experience...a fusion of historical footage and hilarious television commercials from the 1960s lights up video screens and live cameras zoom in for close-ups.

Daughtry
May 17:
He had a bare stage set covered in risers and scaffolding that was probably supposed to look lean, mean and industrial, but actually resembled something from one of those off-Broadway Bob Fosse dance shows where everybody wears black leotards.

Rob Zombie & Alice Cooper
April 26:
His shtick is getting a bit same-y for anyone who has seen any of his previous tours over the years, and he doesn't have many new tricks up his sleeve, but the 62-year-old invented the theatrical arena rock concert and is still one of best in the business when it comes to old-fashioned bloody fun.

Hedley
March 31:
They are called Hedley, but they may as well be called Hoggard. Jacob Hoggard is the frontman, star and main focus of the Vancouver band put together in the aftermath of the 25-year-old's self-imposed ouster from Canadian Idol in 2004 -- a smart move considering there are no other Canadian Idols playing arenas these days.

Tim McGraw
March 30:
Wearing his trademark black cowboy hat and tight jeans the ladies in the crowd were ogling at, he delivered his musical manifesto right off the top with The Man I Am and got the crowd singing along with the upbeat Last Dollar (Fly Away), all the while walking across the stage shaking and slapping the hands of his fans.
