Coldplay will perform with Rihanna at the 2012 Grammy Awards next month. The two artists collaborated on the song "Princess of China" off Coldplay's new album Mylo Xyloto. They join previously announced Grammy performers Foo Fighters on this year's show. Paul McCartney, Taylor Swift, Bruno Mars, Nicki Minaj, Jason Aldean, and Kelly Clarkson are also on the slate. The show airs February 12.

Death Cab For Cutie will tour with an orchestra this spring, but the closest dates are in Texas.

Velvet Revolver performed a short set with original frontman Scott Weiland (Stone Temple Pilots) earlier this month at a benefit concert. Drummer Matt Sorum warns that Weiland is not officially back in the band with other former Guns n' Roses members (Sorum, guitarist Slash, and bassist Duff McKagan), but wouldn't rule out further collaboration. Velvet Revolver has been searching for a new frontman since firing Weiland in 2008.

Say Anythingwill tour this spring with Fake Problems and Kevin Devine. Tampa's own Tallhart (ex-Marksmen... they had to change their name to avoid potential lawsuits) will provide support for half the tour, including April 25 at The Beacham in Orlando.

Remember Andrew W.K.? He'll celebrate the tenth anniversary of his fifteen minutes of fame by playing his I Get Wet album in its entirety on a spring tour. He'll be at The Beacham in Orlando on April 6. Below, you can refresh your memory with "Party Hard."
