Jay-Z, Justin Timberlake Reveal Full Stadium Tour Details

'Legends of the Summer' Trek Will Hit 12 Cities Over One Month

Jay-Z, Justin Timberlake Tour Dates and Tickets

"Suit & Tie" cohorts Justin Timberlake and Jay-Z will indeed head out on a co-headlining stadium tour this summer, and on Friday (Feb. 22), those eagerly anticipated dates were revealed in full.

The "Legends of the Summer" tour will visit 12 cities in North America beginning on July 17 in Toronto and include stops at Yankee Stadium in New York, Fenway Park in Boston and the Rose Bowl in Los Angeles. Tickets to all dates on the Live Nation tour, except for the July 19 stop in New York, are available on www.PeakSeats.com, the Peak Seats iPhone ticket app, the Peak Seats Droid ticket app, the Peak Seats Kindle Fire ticket app or by calling 855.379.4515.

The tour announcement follows last week's reports that the sharp-dressed duo would link up for a co-headlining run of around 10 cities. Before the 2013 Grammy Awards, Timberlake told Ryan Seacrest during an E! pre-show interview, "We're definitely going to go on tour… It's going to be a lot of fun, I know that."

Justin Timberlake to Take Over 'Late Night,' 'SNL' in March

Timberlake, of course, is in the midst of a musical comeback centered around the Mar. 19 release of his third studio album, "The 20/20 Experience." Jay-Z joined the pop superstar onstage during a performance on the eve of the Super Bowl in New Orleans on Feb. 2, and delivered his "Suit & Tie" guest verse again at the Grammy Awards, where Timberlake performed the single as well as new track "Pusher Love Girl."

Legends of the Summer marks Timberlake's first extended tour in over six years; his last trek, the FutureSex/LoveShow arena tour, visited 60 cities in North America during 2007. For Jay-Z, the Legends of the Summer run serves as a semi-sequel to 2010's "Home & Home Tour," in which he and Eminem co-headlined four stadium shows in Detroit and New York City.

Here are the dates for Justin Timberlake and Jay-Z's Legends of the Summer tour:

July 17: Toronto, ON (Rogers Centre)
July 19: New York, NY (Yankee Stadium)
July 22: Chicago, IL (Soldier Field)
July 26: San Francisco, CA (Candlestick Park)
July 28: Los Angeles, CA (Rose Bowl)

August 10: Boston, MA (Fenway Park)
August 13: Philadelphia, PA (Citizens Bank Park)
August 16: Miami, FL (Sun Life Stadium)

Bonnaroo 2013 Lineup

Bonnaroo 2013 Lineup:

"Unlike Coachella, who had us waiting in suspense for weeks — analyzing the economics of the festival industry and trying to divine insight from fake posters — before dropping their 2013 lineup at night, totally unannounced, Bonnaroo is doing this the old-fashioned way: by having Weird Al host a live stream on YouTube. The Tennessee festival’s lineup will be revealed by the “Eat It” singer over the course of an hourlong presentation called “B.L.A.M!” — short for the Bonnaroo Lineup Announcement Megathon. (The exclamation point is vestigial.) And we can watch that sucker right here, now, together, below. Let’s do, and share what we learn in the comments.

All right, we’ve got the full Bonnaroo lineup here, and it’s obviously pretty stacked — like, to the point that running down highlights is not that much different than just posting the list in full. I’ll pick 10 names at random that are exciting to me: Björk; the National; Baroness; Earl Sweatshirt; Swans; Japandroids; Death Grips; HAIM; Killer Mike; Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti. That said, I could just as easily pick another 10 names that I find equally exciting, and probably another 10 after that. Check it out for yourself.

Mumford & Sons
Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers
Björk

Michael Jordan Points Out Flaw In LeBron's Game

"Michael Jordan Says LeBron James Still Has One Key Flaw — And He's Right

LeBron James is on one of the greatest hot streaks in NBA history right now.

He had 39 points, 12 rebounds, and 7 assists last night against Oklahoma City. It was his seventh-straight game with at least 30 points while shooting 58% or better.

We are watching LeBron reach his peak, and all week commentators (and even LeBron himself) have been playing up the Michael Jordan-LeBron James comparisons.

But according to Jordan, LeBron still has one obvious flaw in his game still — he has a tendency to shoot jumpers when he goes left, and drive to the basket when he goes right.

Here's the key passage from ESPN's Wright Thompson's article on Michael Jordan today:

"It has to do with his mechanics and how he loads the ball for release. 'So if I have to guard him,' Jordan says, 'I'm gonna push him left so nine times out of 10, he's gonna shoot a jump shot. If he goes right, he's going to the hole and I can't stop him. So I ain't letting him go right.'

"For the rest of the game, when LeBron gets the ball and starts his move, Jordan will call out some variation of 'drive' or 'shoot.' ... He's answering texts, buried in his phone, when the play-by-play guy announces a LeBron jump shot. Without looking up, Jordan says, 'Left?'"

There's some evidence that Jordan is actually right.

Here's LeBron's shot chart for 2013. He has taken 175 two-point jump shots from the left side of the court, and only 87 two-point jumpers from the right side of the court.

NBA.com/Stats

This indicates that LeBron is typically getting to the rim more often when he goes right than when he goes left.

It's not "90%" like MJ said, but it's significant.

LeBron shoots 73% when he gets to the rim, and 40% when he takes a two-pointer from the left side of the court. So you absolutely want him to take jump shots.

There isn't much to complain about with LeBron's game. But MJ, always the perfectionist, has found something legitimate."
