Katy Perry
This week’s biggest hitter is pop starlet Katy Perry who, after marrying boyfriend Russell Brand only last weekend at a private ceremony in India, is still managing to do amazingly well with her forthcoming UK tour in Spring 2011 and her recent album ‘Teenage Dream’. She’s still got two singles in the Top 20 as well. Click Here to Compare & Buy Katy Perry Tickets
Kings of Leon
Everyone’s favourite Tennessee rockers Kings of Leon have just hit the Number One spot in the album chart with their fifth LP ‘Come Around Sundown’ and they’ve already followed it up by announcing a huge UK tour for next summer.

Sade
Earlier this year, 80s jazz and soul group Sade released ‘Soldier of Love’, their sixth album and their first in ten years.

Roger Waters
Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters kicked off his The Wall Tour in Toronto in September and is due to finish next June in Manchester after six dates at London’s O2 Arena. The tour has already been surrounded by more than its fair share of controversy. However, with David Gilmour set to make an appearance during the UK dates, Waters can’t be too concerned.
