Snoop Dogg banned from Netherlands festival; Chris Brown banned from UK

Rapper Snoop Dogg has reportedly been banned from playing at the free Parkpop festival in The Hague, after authorities decided he would be an inappropriate choice for “the open and friendly character” of the event.

Although Snoop has also recently received his UK visa, other American music stars haven’t been granted the same right. After being convicted of assaulting his former girlfriend, pop star Rihanna, R&B singer Chris Brown has been refused entry to the UK.

Whilst many will be happy that the UK Home Office is taking such a firm stand on visas for convicted criminals, Brown’s fans will be disappointed that his UK tour has been postponed indefinitely.

Leona Lewis kicked off her first ever headline tour in Liverpool’s Echo Arena at the start of June, with a £5 million budget to spend and a lavish Labyrinth-themed stage show to blow it on.

Set designers including Kylie Minogue’s main man William Baker – using David Bowie’s 1986 fantasy adventure as ample inspiration – produced a lavish backdrop for Leona, who performed her hits ‘Bleeding Love’ and ‘Happy’ amongst others in an equally vamped-up costume. Despite wearing some pretty sexy hoods and thigh-high leather boots, Leona maintains she will never be as sexed-up on stage as Rihanna or Lady Gaga.

Speaking of the new tour – which has received mainly positive reviews so far – Leona has said:

“I’ve been so excited about this tour. I get to unleash my childhood fantasies and be a princess.”

Cheryl Cole On Tour

Cheryl Cole has been preparing for his first ever solo UK tour by posing in a sexy dress! The girls aloud singer has launched herself into the solo singer market with two really successful singles, one of which was with Will.i.am from the black eyes peas.

Its no surprise then that the Black Eyes Peas are going to be her support act! that’s right! Its a massive surprise for me that the Black Eyes Pea are doing this, mainly because they have released what is said to be their last album together and for them to then tour only as a supporting act is a surprise when they could steal the show themselves, who knows maybe that’s the plan!

Either way you will be able to see them on tour in places like Manchester, London and Birmingham, if you want tickets i would move fast because i expect they wont be around for long.
