Shawn Mendes Postpones 3 Weeks of ‘Wonder’ Tour to Focus on Mental Health

12th July 2022 | Category: Concerts

Shawn Mendes has postponed the next 12 dates on the North American leg of his ‘Wonder’ tour, citing a need to prioritise his mental health. 

The dozen shows comprise the next three weeks of Mendes’ touring schedule – he was due to perform in the Minnesotan capital of St. Paul tonight (July 9), followed by shows in Omaha and Milwaukee across the rest of the weekend. 

Also affected by the news are gigs in Rosemont, St. Louis, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Charlotte, Raleigh, Philadelphia, Washington DC and Uncasville. All of these will be rescheduled, however new dates are yet to be announced.

In a personal statement shared on social media, Mendes wrote: 

“I’ve been touring since I was 15 and to be honest it’s always been difficult to be on the road away from friends and family. After a few years off the road, I felt like was ready to dive back in, but that decision was premature and unfortunately the toll of the road and the pressure has caught up to me and I’ve hit a breaking point. 

“After speaking with my team and health professionals, I need to take some time to heal and take care of myself and my mental health, first and foremost. As soon as there are more updates I promise I will let you know.”

The North American leg of the ‘Wonder’ tour will resume in Toronto on Sunday July 31. It’ll roll on until Wednesday October 26, when Mendes and his crew take to the stage in Newark, New Jersey. At the time of writing, that’s slated to be his last show for 2022, before a UK and European run kicks off next May. Full details for the ‘Wonder’ tour can be seen here.

Meanwhile, May saw Mendes put his spin on Bruce Springsteen‘s ‘Dancing In The Dark’ for the fashion brand Tommy Hilfiger. It wasn’t the first time the Canadian singer has been connected to The Boss – in 2018, Mendes opened the MTV VMAs with a performance and outfit that many deemed reminiscent of Springsteen’s white-collared look.

The Dead Daisies to Embark on 2022 Fall US Tour

11th July 2022 | Category: Concerts

Fresh off their European Summer Tour, The Dead Daisies are ready to hit the USA this fall. The band has been busy radiating some heat in the EU playing with the likes of Judas Priest, Foreigner and on some major festival dates.

They’re really looking forward to tearing up stages from the East to West coast playing new music along with the classic hits with September dates announced thus far. The trek kicks off September 7th in Vineland, NJ with stops in Nashville, Los Angeles, Portland and others before wrapping September 24th in Seattle.

“Look out!! We’re hitting a few of the best RnR cities starting in early September. Can’t wait to play you the new tunes!!! See you on tour!!” shared the band’s Doug Aldrich.

While they shine on tour, the group’s second single, “Shine On” from their upcoming album slated for late September, is available now. With The Daisies’ trademark Aussie rock stamp all over it, this hard-driving track is one to sink your teeth into and set to become an instant anthem.

“Straight up Aussie rock, it started as a riff I wrote on the tour bus and now here it is!” states David Lowy.

“Here’s another slab of driving, pounding rock from your friends in The Dead Daisies! The new single is ‘Shine On.’ I had a blast recording this with the guys, and hope y’all dig it as well!” adds Brian Tichy.

Make sure you don’t miss Glenn Hughes (Deep Purple, Black Country Communion), Doug Aldrich (Whitesnake, Dio) Brian Tichy (Whitesnake, Foreigner), and David Lowy (MINK, Red Phoenix), when they come to a town near you in the fall.

Mark Tuan has announced an upcoming North American tour for 2022, with 16 dates currently scheduled.

The Taiwanese-American musician took to Twitter on July 7 to announce that he is set to embark on a tour of 15 North American cities this year. Tuan is set to visit major cities such as San Antonio, Houston, Dallas, Atlanta, Philadelphia, New York City, San Francisco and more, as well as two shows in his home city of Los Angeles.

In addition to the US, the K-pop idol will also perform in the Canadian cities of Toronto and Vancouver. 

Tuan’s North American trek, dubbed the ‘The Other Side’ tour, will be in support of his upcoming solo record of the same name. Due out on August 26, ‘The Other Side’ will mark Tuan’s first full-length album as a solo artist. Specifics about the new album, including its tracklist and more, are expected to be unveiled in the coming weeks.

Earlier this month, Tuan released the single ‘imysm’. It was the latest in a string of solo releases by the K-pop idol this year, preceded by the songs ‘lonely’, ‘save me’, ‘my life’ and ‘Last Breath’. It is currently unknown if any of Tuan’s five solo tracks will appear on his forthcoming debut record.

Meanwhile, Tuan, along with the remaining six members of GOT7, made their long-awaited return as a group in May with their eponymous mini-album, featuring the title track ‘NANANA’. It marked the septet’s first record together since they departed from their previous management JYP Entertainment in January last year.

Sugababes Announce First UK Headline Tour in Over 20 Years

24th June 2022 | Category: Concerts

Ahead of their appearance at Glastonbury Festival this weekend, Sugababes have confirmed a UK tour.

The reformed band – Siobhan Donaghy, Mutya Buena and Keisha Buchanan – will be heading out on their first UK headline tour in over 20 years in October, kicking off in Bristol before taking in Leeds, Manchester and Cardiff. The 17-date tour also includes a headline show at London’s Eventim Apollo in Hammersmith and will finish with a gig at Glasgow’s o2 Academy.

Speaking about the announcement, the band said: 

“We’re so excited to come full circle and announce our own headline UK tour.  We’ll be hitting the road in October and November – can’t wait to see you all there.”

The news follows a headline appearance at London’s Mighty Hoopla festival and comes ahead of a highly-anticipated appearance at Glastonbury Festival this weekend. The trio are set to play The Avalon Stage on Friday night before headliners Reef, who are replacing The Damned who had to pull out of the festival due to COVID.

Tickets for the Sugababes tour go on sale next Friday, July 1.

Last year, the Sugababes spoke to NME about the prospect of new music.

According to Donaghy, “COVID threw a spanner in the works. We were recording before the series of lockdowns in the past year, but we’ve got so much material that we need to work through. We probably need to do a little more recording. As soon as we can get back together in the studio, we’re going to work on something fresh. But there’s a lot of material that I feel we should collate together because it’s some of our best work ever and it would be a shame for it not to be released properly.”
