Tickets On Sale Beginning June 2nd

LOS ANGELES, CA – May 23, 2007 Bringing a blast of youthful energy to this summer's tour schedule, Live Nation today announced dates for Nextfest, the hottest teen tour in recent memory. Headlined by superstars Aly & AJ, Corbin Bleu and Drake Bell, and joined by newcomer Bianca Ryan, Nextfest kicks off on July 11th at Phoenix, Arizona's Dodge Theatre and runs through September 1st, hitting 29 cities in all.

Tickets for the Live Nation produced tour go on sale nationwide beginning on Saturday, June 2nd and are available at www.livenation.com. A full list of dates is below.

Aly & AJ are readying their third Hollywood Records album, Insomniatic, for a July 10th release. With anticipation building fueled by the hit single "Potential Break Up Song," Aly & AJ are poised to improve upon the platinum plus status of their previous album Into The Rush.

The duo is already busy promoting the new album and single, as well as their upcoming MTV film, Super Sweet 16, due out July 8th, with multiple appearances scheduled on MTV and other national television shows. They also grace millions of Post's Honeycomb cereal boxes in a national promotion.

Aly & AJ are currently filming the pilot to their own MTV show, some of which will take place on this tour. Coming soon: The launch of an "Aly & AJ" book series, "Aly & AJ" Xbox and Nintendo video games, a doll series by Huckleberry Toys, apparel by FEA Merchandising, backpacks and accessories by Accessory Network, headwear by Bioworld, jewelry and hair accessories by IMT, cosmetics by Townley Girl and domestics by J Franco.

Corbin Bleu will be making the summer trek hot on the heels of the release of his own, highly anticipated album, Another Side, which came out on Hollywood Records earlier this month. Most fans will know Corbin from his starring roles in the mega-successful Disney Channel movies High School Musical and Jump In!, and the hit song "Push It To The Limit" from the Jump In! soundtrack.

He will be seen next reprising the role of Chad in the highly anticipated High School Musical 2, premiering August 17th on Disney Channel.

Drake Bell, who just won the Nickelodeon Kid's Choice Award for Favorite TV Actor for the second year in a row, also began his career as a child actor, emerging on the music scene in 2005 with the independent release of his debut album, Telegraph. Gaining recognition and enormous popularity for his starring role in the hit Nickelodeon show Drake and Josh, Bell penned and recorded the show's catchy theme song, "Found A Way," with musical partner Michael Corcoran.

In December 2006, Bell released his second album It's Only Time on Universal Motown Records. He has just returned from visiting radio stations across the country promoting his record, drawing large crowds in every city. In the midst of promoting his album, Bell filmed the Lions Gate/Element Films movie titled College, in which he stars.

As the youngest participant in Nextfest, Bianca Ryan, just 12 years old, has not let her age get in the way of pursuing her singing career. With talents that go way above and beyond the expectations of a girl her age, Bianca won the debut season of NBC's America's Got Talent, which led to the release of her first, self titled, album on Columbia Records late last year.

On behalf of Union Station Home Entertainment, we are pleased to present Four Last Songs, on DVD June 26th!

Larry (Stanley Tucci) is a chronically unsatisfied ex-pat residing on a remote island village in the Mediterranean. The village is tiny but famous for having been the home of one of Europe's most celebrated composers. Although Larry hoped to absorb some of the great man's glory. His modest talents have instead confined him to playing piano in local bars.

Desperate to make his mark Larry stages a gala concert as a tribute to the late composer. His plans, however, are challenged by every inhabitant of the village including his partner, the neurotic, Miranda (Jessica Stevenson); the composer's beautiful muse, Helena (Emmanuelle Seigner); Veronica (Marisa Paredes), the master's embittered widow; Sebastian (Hugh Bonneville), a social-climbing Englishman and his feckless younger brother, Dickie (Rhys Ifans); and most importantly, Frankie (Jena Malone), Larry's own stubborn and streetwise daughter who's been trying to track him down for years.

With his kooky entourage in tow Larry must learn to balance all the harmonies and deliver his own masterpiece.

NELLY FURTADO'S GET LOOSE TOUR

TO BRING HER HIT MUSIC TO 17 U.S. STAGES

International superstar Nelly Furtado will bring her Get Loose Tour to the United States for 17 concerts, starting May 30 in Hollywood, Fl, close by where she recorded most of her five-million-selling hit album "Loose".

The *Get Loose Tour* started in Europe with 23 shows over five weeks. The next leg crossed her native Canada, starting in Victoria, B.C. where the mayor's office proclaimed March 21 as "Nelly Furtado" Day. (Loose garnered the Victoria-born, Toronto-based Furtado the biggest-selling album in Canada for 2006.)

"This "Nelly Furtado" thing has hit a whole 'nutha level'," praised the Toronto Star.

Furtado will be backed by four dancers and her six-piece band, including Toronto rapper Saukrates on percussion who also fills in for "Loose" producer Timbaland, from whistling on "All Good Things (Come to an End)," to rapping on the duo's monster hit, "Promiscuous." Saukrates will also double as the opening act.

"For the last eight years I've never really traveled with a full production of lights, visuals and dancers - and this tour I've got all of it," the 28-year-old singer enthused to Sun Media in Victoria. "I've spent eight years building my musicality so that now I can rely on that, but then I also have a great backup up there with all the production, which is a treat for me.

"The show is inspired by Miami. There's palm trees on the set, white palm trees and a white stage, and it's got a little bit of drama to it. I think the show's a little more sensual or sophisticated, but I keep the primary focus on the songs." "Loose" debuted at #1 when it was released June 20, 2006 and has spawned four worldwide hit singles: "Promiscuous, Maneater, Say It Right,"All Good Things (Come to an End)," with "In God's Hands" waiting in the wings for its turn in the spotlight. "Loose" has been awarded platinum and gold sales in 28 countries so far.

Furtado says her recent decision to make a foray into acting-she appeared earlier this year on episodes of "CSI: NY" and the ABC soap "One life to Live"-after taking acting lessons in Toronto, has also helped her as a live performer:

"Yeah, incredibly, it has really helped me let go, be able to escape more, into another personality on stage. It taught me more about the theater of performing."

The Toronto Star observed: "The giggly ingenue slightly awestruck at her own sudden stardom who first tirelessly made the rounds of the planet on the back of "I'm Like a Bird" and her hit debut, "Whoa, Nelly!", six years ago was supplanted at the Air Canada Centre by a confident, if not quite yet cocky diva-in-training, perfectly at home on an arena stage."

Earlier this month *Furtado* pocketed five Juno awards - the Canadian equivalent of the Grammys. She won for best artist and pop album of the year, as well as single, album, and fan's choice. "Furtado" also Took the trophy for Best International Female Artist at the Brit Awards in the U.K. in February.

Earlier in the year she was nominated for a Grammy for the lead track from her album, "Promiscuous." (Furtado was nominated for four Grammys for her debut album," Whoa, Nelly!", taking home the trophy for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for "I'm Like a Bird.")
