Big Bad Voodoo Daddy Holiday Tour

15th November 2022 | Category: Concerts

Big Bad Voodoo Daddy invite fans to get into the holiday spirit this season! The band brings audiences a nonstop medley of jump blues, and jazz with their swing revival take on your favorite holiday songs along with their own original holiday music!

Since the band’s formation in the early nineties in California, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy has constantly been on tours, performing on average over 150 shows a year, and has produced a sizable catalog of recorded music. In addition, the band has sold over 2 million albums to date.

During their legendary residency at the Derby nightclub in Los Angeles, they reminded the world that it was still cool to swing. The band’s co-founders Scotty Morris and drummer Kurt Sodergren were at the forefront of the swing revival of the time. They blended a vibrant fusion of the classic American sounds of jazz, swing, and Dixieland, combined with the energy and spirit of contemporary culture.

Big Bad Voodoo Daddy’s all-original line-up includes Scotty Morris, Kurt Sodergren, Dirk Shumaker, Andy Rowley, Glen “The Kid” Marhevka, Karl Hunter, and Joshua Levy.

The band’s efforts to promote and revitalize swing music have taken shape as much more than just a simple tribute. Big Bad Voodoo Daddy takes inspiration from the creators of this uniquely American art form. They also work hard including their original horn-infused music and legendary high-energy show in order to introduce the genre to a new and younger generation. However, the band manages to remain cognizant and respectful of the music’s rich legacy.

After 29 years, 11 records, over 3,000 live shows, and countless appearances in film and television, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy is not planning on slowing down. The band looks forward to sharing its music with new and old fans alike, in 2022.

Billy Idol Returns to Las Vegas in November 2022

2nd November 2022 | Category: Las Vegas

Billy Idol and his back are coming to meet you at The Chelsea at The Cosmopolitan in 2022! Fans will be able to witness the Billy Idol Las Vegas residency and hear the legendary New Wave musician perform all of his greatest hits. The singer will be performing music from across this storied career, from his early days fronting Generation X, to his days topping the charts with classics such as “Rebel Yell, “White Wedding”, and “Dancing with Myself”. It promises to be one of the most acclaimed rock shows on the Strip!

For forty-five years, Billy Idol has been one of the faces and voices of rock’n’roll, with an artistic resume that matches the brilliant light of the image. Fans have been following his career from his early days as the frontman for Generation X. Between 1977 and 1981 Billy emerged with three albums that truly reshaped the world of punk rock. In 1982, Billy embarked on a solo career that integrated clubland throb, wide-screen depth and drama, and rockabilly desperation. He truly became the synonym for rock’n’roll decadence combining bold and simple lines of punk.

Evidently, the singer shows no signs of stopping. Billy Idol is still making gliding, thumping, cinematic songs about sin, redemption and the love of rock’n’roll. All of this can be found on “The Roadside”, his first original release in seven years that came out in 2021.

The first show will take place on November 11th at The Chelsea at The Cosmopolitan, Las Vegas and the last taking place on November 19th.

Blink-182’s Tom DeLonge, Mark Hoppus, Travis Barker Reunite for World Tour and New Music

14th October 2022 | Category: Concerts

Tom DeLonge, Mark Hoppus, and Travis Barker are reuniting for their first Blink-182 tour together in nearly 10 years. What’s more, they’ve announced the release of a new single called “Edging,” that’s set for release today (October 14th).

The huge tour includes stops in North America, South America, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand starting March 2023 through February 2024. For the North American leg, Blink-182 will be joined by Turnstile. The trio is also set to headline Lollapalooza’s Latin American festivals in Argentina, Chile, and Brasil, as well as the return of When We Were Young Festival in Las Vegas. 

DeLonge departed Blink-182 in 2015, making way for Matt Skiba, who performed on the band’s two most recent albums: 2016’s California and 2019’s NINE. In the meantime, DeLonge has tended to his other band Angels & Airwaves and tried to prove aliens do exist; Barker has recorded with everyone from Avril Lavigne to Young Thug and tied the knot Kourtney Kardashian; Hoppus spent the better part of 2021 successfully battling lymphoma.

Oddly enough, the silver lining to Hoppus’ diagnosis is that it apparently prompted him and DeLonge to re-connect. Hoppus reflected on his cancer treatment in a recent interview with People, saying that the trio had spent some time together before his chemo began, and they were in “a really great place right now.” 

The bassist added: “I keep writing music, and I’m open to whatever the next phase of Blink is… I’m hopeful for the future. I’m just damn glad to be here.”

Depeche Mode will be coming back next year with a brand new album called Memento Mori. In addition to this, they’ve announced a massive world tour that’ll see them play more than 20 different countries across North America and Europe in 2023.

Due out in March 2023, Memento Mori marks Depeche Mode’s 15th album to date and first since the passing of founding member Andy Fletcher. 

“We started work on this project early in the pandemic, and its themes were directly inspired by that time,” Depeche Mode’s Martin Gore explained in a statement. “After Fletch’s passing, we decided to continue as we’re sure this is what he would have wanted, and that has really given the project an extra level of meaning.”

“Fletch would have loved this album,” Dave Gahan added. “We’re really looking forward to sharing it with you soon, and we can’t wait to present it to you live at the shows next year.”

Depeche Mode’s supporting world tour begins with a leg of North American shows in March and April, including dates at Los Angeles’ Kia Forum, Chicago’s United Center, and New York’s Madison Square Garden. Beginning in May, the band will then embark on an extensive run of European stadium shows that take place through the middle of August. Additionally, Depeche Mode will headline Primavera Sound’s festivals in both Barcelona and Madrid. Check out the full list of dates below.

Ed Sheeran Announces 2023 North American Tour Dates

7th October 2022 | Category: Concerts

Ed Sheeran has announced a handful of North American tour dates for 2023, marking the UK pop star’s first trek across the continent in five years. It’s in support of his latest album, 2021’s ‘=‘ and will also hear him play songs from his back catalog. Khalid, Russ, Dylan, Rosa Linn, Cat Burns, and Maisie Peters are joining him as supporting acts.

“+ – = ÷ x Tour” — pronounced “The Mathematics Tour” — kicks off on May 6th at Arlington, Texas’ AT&T Stadium. Sheeran will then hit stadiums across North America including Atlanta, Toronto, Nashville, Chicago, Minneapolis, Vancouver, and Las Vegas before wrapping up at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California on September 23rd.

In other news, Sheeran will enter his third set of court proceedings over his songwriting, with the musician set to face a jury trial following a suit from a stakeholder in the estate of Marvin Gaye‘s co-writer.

The ruling came last month (September 29) from Judge Louis Stanton, a senior district judge for the Southern District of New York. Per Billboard, the case will determine whether Sheeran’s hit single ‘Thinking Out Loud’ is in breach of copyright due to its similarities with Gaye’s 1973 single ‘Let’s Get It On’.

The suit came from Structured Asset Sales, a company that owns a stake in the copyrights of the estate of Ed Townsend – a co-writer on ‘Let’s Get It On’. It was originally filed back in 2016, with a decision regarding jury involvement coming in 2019.
