When it comes to early 2000s hip-hop, one of the greats is definitely 50 Cent. From his first major-label album Get Rich Or Die Tryin’ debut in 2003 to today, his career has earned him several awards and an international following. In fact, that old-school album is exactly what is being celebrated on his 2023 Final Lap tour.

The Final Lap

The tour is an homage to the 20^th anniversary of the album and it will span over a hundred stops across the US and worldwide. Germany, Norway, France, the UK and Australia are just some of the locations where 50 Cents will perform. The tour began on July 21 but will continue well on towards the end of 2023 in November.

While it starts in the US, towards the end of September 50 Cent will be starting the international segment of the tour in the Netherlands. He will continue across Europe and beyond in India, Australia and New Zealand. The ambitious scope of the tour gets even more exciting when you consider that 50 financed a lot of the concerts himself and they sold out.

As for the song lineup, audiences can of course expect songs from Get Rich Or Die Tryin’. That said, listeners will also be able to hear some of his other great hits.

Opening the Show

As this is a huge international tour, 50 Cent is not going alone. Accompanying him will be Busta Rhymes and Jeremih, two talented artists who will open for 50 across his venues. With this trio in mind, from rapping to R&B, the Final Lap has shaped into a melodic masterpiece of lyrical prowess.

The trio is scheduled to conclude the North American segment on September 22 in Toronto, ON on the Budweiser Stage. Following this, the European and UK tour segment commences on September 28 in Amsterdam and extends until November. The tour will then proceed to Australia and New Zealand in December.

The world-renowned masters of rock Foo Fighters are sweeping the world with their music in their 2023 tour. The much-acclaimed tour has Foo Fighters travel across the world from North and South America to Australia and more. Their music, especially their last album, is a “brutally honest and emotionally raw response to everything Foo Fighters endured over the last year”.

But Here We Are

Throughout 2023 and 2024, Foo Fighters are continuing to mark their first batches of headlining shows since their drummer Taylor Hawkins passed away in March 2022. They are performing in tribute to him with their latest album release But Here We Are. As press releases say, this album is all about the raw emotions in response to everything the band went through last year.

The band has so far performed and will continue to perform across the United States along with a slot at Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival in Manchester, Tennessee. Foo Fighters will also perform select gigs in Germany, Canada, Japan, and Brazil. Some of their concerts will even feature support from indie bands.

As for their new drummer, Josh Freese was officially announced as one of the Foos in a live stream event. Taylor Hawkins will never be forgotten and we feel Freese is an excellent new drummer for the band.

About the Tour

Throughout August, the Foos will journey across the US as they head to South America slowly. You can catch tickets to their gigs for some exciting August slots but September is also a great option for South American Foo lovers. Fear not as the band will continue their tour all the way to January 2023 and beyond.

Some of the festivals their rock music will reach include iHeartRadio Music Festival and Ohana Music Festival with numerous concerts in between.

Their Instagram post back in December last year perfectly summarizes the emotions they are going through with their community and also the healing power of music. Their 2023 tour is a way to reconnect with their audience, showcase new music, and pay tribute to Freese.

The 29-time Grammy winner Beyoncé has finally wrapped up the European part of her Renaissance World Tour. The much-acclaimed tour has been garnering a lot of buzz online, with numerous recordings and clips showing Bey’s dedication to the promotion of her latest album Renaissance.

As Taylor Swift moves her show outside the USA and starts touring across Europe, South America and Asia, Beyoncé gets ready to conquer the US audience. The first show was in Toronto, on July 9.

About the Tour

Renaissance World Tour is the first world tour for the songstress since 2016. The last tour was called The Formation Tour and was the seventh concert tour done to promote Beyonce’s sixth studio album Lemonade.

Renaissance World Tour officially began on May 1, 2023, in Stockholm, Sweden. The singer opened the tour in Europe, and with the second half of the tour taking place in North America.

Overall, the concert consists of six stages, or six acts, each representing a part of the Renaissance album. However, in-between the acts, Bey also performs her previous hits and legendary jams from across her discography. This tour is considered one of the best tours she has ever done, garnering a lot of praise both for the visual aspects, the concept, and production.

An interesting thing about the tour is that it is also the first tour that the audience got to see Beyonce’s daughter Blue Ivy, who has made her guest appearance on a number of shows by participating as a backup dancer. The 11-year-old is not a regular dancer, though – she hasn’t appeared in every show so far. Nevertheless, she has become a firm fan-favourite, with thousands of fans bringing various gifts and signs in support of Blue Ivy (such as blue balloons, etc.). Blue Ivy has also become a star on TikTok where videos of her dancing on the tour went viral.

First Stop: Toronto

The first show in North America was a two-day celebration of Beyoncé and her genius in Toronto. The crowds were amazed, and even the singer herself was amazed by the audience and the love that she got from them.

After two days there, she quickly rested and got ready for the next shows: this time, it was Philadelphia time, taking place on July 12.

Again, a festival of splendour, upbeat, sexy vibes, and most importantly, a celebration of what it means to be a woman – and what it means to be a Beyoncé.

The next stop on the tour was Nashville, taking place on July 15.

Remaining Renaissance Tour Dates

These are just the beginning of the amazing world tour that is set to last well into October 2023. Here is the full list of all concerts that Beyoncé announced as part of her Renaissance World Tour promoting the Renaissance album.
