News Ticker: Green Day, Regeneration Tour, AC/DC, Big Boi After months of dodging, Green Day finally admitted that they are the Foxboro Hot Tubs. Billie Joe Armstrong revealed that the band got its name from “a place we used to sneak booze and chicks into late at night.” Eighties mainstays the Human League, Dead Or Alive, A Flock of Seagulls and Belinda Carlisle will band their ridiculous hairstyles together for the inaugural Regeneration Tour. The country-crossing affair spans from August 1st to the 29th. AC/DC is currently in the studio with producer Brendan O’Brien working on their first album in eight years says, according to Supersuckers (whose own album has been delayed as their own producer engineers for O’Brien and AC/DC). OutKast’s Big Boi is set to debut his new ballet “big” for the first of six performances tonight at Atlanta’s Fox Theatre. The rapper reportedly also plans to premiere his new solo single “Sir Lucious Leftfoot Saves the Day” to close out the evening.

News Ticker: Fall Out Boy, OutKast, Slash, Grammys Tour Fall Out Boy’s attempt to play concerts on all seven continents has been temporarily postponed as surprise “bad weather” in Antarctica prevented the band from traveling to the South Pole. The band, currently in Chile, will attempt to take the frozen continent Wednesday before heading back to the States. OutKast’s road manager and former WCW wrestler Chase Tatum was found dead Sunday in his Atlanta home after an apparent drug overdose. Tatum appeared with OutKast’s Big Boi in the 2007 film Who’s Your Caddy? Despite bandmate Duff McKagan’s assertions, Velvet Revolver’s Slash has downplayed claims that the band is the leading candidate to open for a Led Zeppelin reunion tour. T-Mobile and the Grammys are teaming up for the 50th Grammy Celebration Concert Tour. Five cities will play host to a concert featuring unnamed past and present Grammy winners, with owners of Sidekick phones given the opportunity to win backstage VIP treatment.
