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.

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 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.
