Hey, I agree with you! Enjoy the show if you go. I'm still waiting for an LA date. The closest we have is Costa Mesa!

Awesome! Can't wait. I already saw this tour in NYC since no shows had been announced here. It was incredible.

Yeah Howard, I'm so happy for you. I got the privilege to see Adam at NYC Nokia and he was fabulous. That voice of his is so powerful and yet so beautiful. I have been also watching his Youtube performances and I get a kick out Adam expressions when he sees all the love he has been getting, you know that "I can't believe this is happening to me look". I love him. I have seen many artists come and go and I can't remember an artist since MJ and Madonna that has 3 generations of fans coming to see him from 10-80yrs old. It shows that he appeals to everyone. When you have 10yr olds dressing like you, you know you made. Have fun at his show and please be gentle to our man, he is a newbie to this (I know that's hard to believe)so he is working hard for his fans on a limited budget. One day he'll be on a Lady GaGa budget and we will see where his creativity can take him. Meanwhile he is conquering the international world also. Here is the latest fan made videos out of the 100s that are out there. This is devotion and labor of love.

My thrill meter is already off the charts with all the California Glam Nation shows less than three weeks and counting, but now I have a bonus excuse to visit my family in FL before Thanksgiving. Planning to take my sis, niece, nephew plus extended family who are all VERY excited! Hope they add Orlando too.

I can't wait! I adore this man beyond all reason.

I work 5 minutes from the Costa Mesa venue (and will be at both those shows) but I had JUST finished booking a flight to Fort Lauderdale for Sep 17-21 when I saw this article. I already have a ticket and wristband for the St. Petersburg post-game concert but now this makes the trip a double dose of Adam, and my choice of Fort Lauderdale over Tampa or Orlando as a destination karma!

I'm so excited he's finally coming to Florida! I wouldn't miss this concert for the world! :D
Posted by: Mars | July 09, 2010 at 10:12 AM
Yes yes yes yes yes finally. Can't wait to get tickets.
Posted by: Twisted_Sister | July 09, 2010 at 03:27 PM
I saw him when in Mahnomen, Minnesota. BEST. CONCERT. EVER. Now that I'm moving to Tampa in the fall for college I will for sure be going to this!!!
Posted by: Annie Mae | July 09, 2010 at 06:54 PM
Details, I need more details! I knew Adam would not forsake all of his SoFla fans :-)
Posted by: naomi | July 11, 2010 at 02:33 PM
finally adam is in miami!!! I can't wait.

Howard, Hard Rock has not yet confirmed this date and neither has Adam Official. Can you tell us how you got this info that a presale will take place on 7/16 when no info is out there from the sites that you would expect to hear it from? Florida Adam fans are losing their minds waiting for actual confirmation. I've tweeted Hard Rock Live many times with no reply. Are you sure this info is factual?
Posted by: KatieJ | July 12, 2010 at 03:59 PM
I confirmed the date with Hard Rock Live's manager, Ryan. It is factual. Promoter just hasn't officially sent out statement.
