R&B singer R. Kelly, reggaeton duo Wisin y Yandel and a School's Out Tour with a buffet selection of rising hip-hop acts highlight the 2006 concert season at the Gibson Amphitheatre, while angst-ridden songstress Fiona Apple, country thrush Martina McBride and "popera" quartet Il Divo top the Greek Theatre's season offerings.
Dates for more than two dozen shows at each facility were announced Thursday by Nederlander Concerts, which handles bookings for both. Sales for Gibson and Greek season subscriptions begin today with an order deadline of April 4.
