Plan B is touring America in support of The Defamation of Strickland Banks, a concept album about a soul singer who is wrongly imprisoned for rape. I expected him to sing falsetto and rap. I did not expect a beatboxer and moshing on stage. It was a fun, postmodern Motown (pomo Moto?) carnival of a show.

Beginning next week, you can catch Plan B on this tour:

I spy the nucleus for a niche touring festival, a la H.O.R.D.E.

Main Stage
Bruno Mars
Adele
Cee Lo Green
Janelle Monáe
Mayer Hawthorne

Second Stage
Plan B
Aloe Blacc
Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings
Fitz and the Tantrums

Eh?
