Born in Stratford, Ontario, Justin Bieber is a multi-talented singer, and a self-taught musician on drums, guitar, piano, and trumpet. To date, he has surpassed 150 million YouTube.com views (the first 50 million of them as an amateur starting in 2007, posting renditions of his favorite hip-hop and R&B songs). Also in 2007, his manager Scooter Braun introduced Justin to the music industry in Atlanta. There he met multi-platinum superstar Usher, who signed the 13 year-old to his first professional deal and formed the RBMG joint-venture label with Braun and Antonio ‘L.A.’ Reid, Chairman, Island Def Jam Music Group. via bieberfever.com

Here are our most popular Gaga posts

“Glee tickets” has been one of the most popular ticket-search terms used on FanSnap since the fictional kids from McKinley High sang at the World Series. In the last few days, FanSnap has been abuzz with searches for “Conan O’Brien tickets” — since the former Tonight Show host began Twittering about taking his show on the road. There are currently hundreds, and in some cases, thousands of Glee Live tickets and Conan O’Brien tour tickets can currently be found with FanSnap.

That got us to thinking.

Both are less traditional tours birthed from television shows, albeit under very different circumstances. One is a brand new show with lots of buzz and and seemingly endless numbers of fans that can’t get enough of their singing. The other one of the longest running shows on television with a very public shake up.

Which tour will be more popular?

Both tours will be in New York within a few days of each other. Glee is performing three shows at Radio City Music Hall on May 28 and 29. Conan O’Brien will be performing at Radio City on June 1.  There are three Glee Live! events, at Radio City in two days. Conan has one. Here’s how it breaks down.

Glee Live in New York
4,000 tickets available
Lowest price ticket = $90
Average price for a ticket = $220.

Conan O’Brien in New York
1,000 Conan O’Brien tickets available
Lowest price = $113
Average price for a ticket = $230.

The edge goes to O’Brien.

That’s right! The Glee cast is hitting the road! Find Glee Live tickets.

When they sang at the 2009 World Series, we speculated about a coming tour. In November, we told you to get ready to buy your Glee concert tickets when producer Ryan Murphy confirmed that the Glee cast would be touring in Summer 2010, after Season 1 wraps up. Now that day has come… Almost.

FOX announced dates today for a Glee concert tour, appropriately dubbed, ‘Glee Live! In Concert!’ No, we didn’t add the exclamation points. FOX did that, but we probably would have. Find Glee Live tickets.

The Glee cast, Lea Michele (Rachel), Cory Monteith (Finn), Amber Riley (Mercedes), Chris Colfer (Kurt), Kevin McHale (Artie), Jenna Ushkowitz (Tina), Mark Salling (Puck), Dianna Agron (Quinn), Naya Rivera (Santana), Heather Morris (Brittany), Harry Shum, Jr. (Mike) and Dijon Talton (Matt) will perform on the the four-city tour. “Glee Live! In Concert!,” will include live performances of “Don’t Stop Believin,” “Somebody To Love,” “Jump,” “Don’t Rain on My Parade” and “Sweet Caroline.”

More rock news out of Seattle today. Eddie Vedder, Stone Gossard, Jeff Ament, Mike McCready and Matt Cameron, aka Pearl Jam announced via PearlJam.com that the 90s-grunge-flannel-band-cum-rock-gods will hit the road this spring. Search FanSnap for Pearl Jam tickets from dozens of ticket sites across the web.

Just last weekend, we wrote about the freshly announced Alice in Chains Tickets and Tour Dates. It’s oddly jarring to pair the two “Seattle sound” bands now given the radically different journeys  both bands took since achieving megastardom.

What is clear, is both bands have huge fan bases that can’t wait to get tickets for upcoming shows.

Band of Horses will open for Pearl Jam at all announced shows except the May 20 show at Madison Square Garden. New Yorkers will see The Black Keys open.

Here’s how the tour breaks down:
