A standard plane-wave expansion technique is used to investigate the evolution of the photonic band structure of a two-dimensional honeycomb lattice composed by cylindrical shell rods with dielectric permittivities epsilon(1) and epsilon(2), and embedded in a background with permittivity epsilon(3). We have considered the effect of dispersive dielectric responses as well as the influence of an externally applied magnetic field aiming to obtain efficient tunable bandgaps. Present results suggest that a combination of a doped semiconductor constituent with an anisotropic geometry, which breaks symmetry and unfolds degeneracies, provides an efficient realization of photonic systems with tunable bandgaps
