The morning after he went back to his old high school in Brooklyn for a surprise concert, Neil Diamond announced he'll be doing another old-school arena tour next spring, including an April 12 date at Xcel Energy Center. Never one for whimsical or esoteric titles, the 73-year-old recording legend has officially named his 29-city trek the Neil Diamond Tour 2015.
Tickets for the St. Paul show go on sale Oct. 13 at 10 a.m. through Ticketmaster and the arena box office at prices yet to be announced. Prices for the Chicago date two nights later are listed at $65-$150.
Diamond has a new album coming Oct. 21, this one titled "Melody Road." His last record, 2008's "Home Before Dark," debuted at No. 1 in Billboard. He's one of Xcel Center's most frequent headliners, having performed five previous shows there, including two-night stands in 2001 and 2008 as well as a one-off in July 2012.
