In one of the stranger promotional teasers in recent memory, CAA managing partner Rob Light disclosed a list of acts that should be touring the States next year to HITS. Among them: Wal-Mart favs AC/DC, who haven’t toured since 2003, and KISS, who might creak around arenas once again. Other acts mentioned by Light include Usher, Miley Cyrus, Mariah Carey, Eric Clapton, Stevie Wonder, Christina Aguilera, Depeche Mode, Green Day, Kid Rock, Slipknot, and, in an announcement that’s sure to please all those bloggers with cameraphones, Daft Punk. Pretty sure someone is preparing a fake Coachella lineup poster listing all of these acts as we speak. [HITS Daily Double]

Depeche is a possibility but they’ve been keeping quiet on the recording plans front (at least in comparison to Playing the Angel). Still, they’ve been at a general once-every-four-years pace for a bit now so it wouldn’t be surprising.
Daft Punk’s not touring, it was reported wrong
How is this the first use of a Depeche Mode tag? Blasphemy!
Well, their last album proper came out some months before Idolator began…
@Ned Raggett: Yeah, I know, the comment was mostly in jest. But I can dream…
DM’s last tour was nothing short of amazing.
@NeverEnough: Yeah, I really liked it to. My only complaint was that it seems like they play the same “old” songs at every concert, with the new ones mixed in throughout. I’m not looking for only the greatest hits, I really like seeing the new songs played for the first time/tour. But I think they’ve played Everything Counts at every concert I’ve attended. Its a fine song, and I understand that, ala 101, it gets the crowd singing, but, at this point, I’d much rather hear some other old song I’ve never seen performed live, or at least not in over a decade. I mean, these days, how many people are seeing DM perform live for the very first time? Everyone there has already sung along to Everything Counts. Let’s hear something else.
@How do I say this … THROWDINI!: Totally agreed. I absolutely adore their last 3 albums and wouldn’t mind hearing only songs from those CDs.
And in my post-DM excitement, I almost spent $80 to buy a black ‘rooster’ hat like Martin wore on stage. Good sense, for once, prevailed.
@NeverEnough: Haha, you probably made the right choice. Not a lot of places to wear that hat out.
