Tickets will be available at the arena's box office. Rimes is touring in support of her latest album, "Twisted Angel," and its single, "Life Goes On."

Channel surfing turned into frenzy
There's nothing like settling in front of the TV after work for a mild USA series and getting ... VH1's "Porn to Rock." Or trying to slip into a "Fashiontrance" and finding more of a blur than usual.That's what happened when Oceanic Cable switched channel numbers midweek, and although we printed a warning in our Sunday TV Guide to alert avid TV fans to changes coming, TV's mind-numbing effect was in evidence as puzzled viewers mauled their remotes in scrambling to find their favorite cable stations.
Be relieved. At least you weren't trapped in a "Twilight Zone" episode.
