6th October 2022 | Category: Concerts

Arctic Monkeys have shared details of a North American tour for 2023 with Fontaines D.C. serving as support.

The Sheffield band first head stateside next summer, kicking the tour off at The Armory in Minneapolis, Minnesota, US on August 25. They wrap the tour at Los Angeles’ Kia Forum in California, US on September 29.

Prior to their North American run, Arctic Monkeys will tour South America, Australia, and the UK/Europe (with The Hives).

The shows will be in support of the band’s latest album, ‘The Car‘, which is released on October 21 via Domino.

The tickets for the band’s stadium tour next year went on general sale, with high demand being reported on ticket sites and across social media.

Arctic Monkeys’ first two dates at London’s Emirates Stadium on June 16 and 17 both sold out, with the band since announcing a third show at Arsenal’s stadium on June 18. Tickets for that newly announced gig, as well as the rest of the tour, are on sale now from here.

Meanwhile, the band released their new album’s second single, ‘Body Paint’, last week.

The four-piece were also the musical guests on last night’s edition of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in the US, during which they performed ‘Body Paint’.

Muse Announce 2023 North American ‘Will of the People Tour’

3rd October 2022 | Category: Concerts

Having released their newest album, Will of the People, Muse have announced the 2023 “Will of the People Tour.” Evanescence will accompany the band as a special guest.

The 20-date North American trek will begin in February in Chicago, Illinois, and Muse will definitely be travelling for a while. After a stop in Minneapolis, Muse will end the month in Austin, and they’ll follow a Texas jaunt with a brief stop in Columbus, Ohio, before continuing on to Toronto, Quebec City, and Montreal. The band will play New York and Philadelphia in the middle of March, then pick back up in Glendale, Arizona in April for a run along on the west coast.

Besides that, Muse have several dates remaining on their previously announced 2022-2023 tour, including North American stops in October and European stops in May and June. 

On 13 January 2022, Muse released the single “Won’t Stand Down”, which marked a return to the band’s heavier early sound. Muse’s ninth album, Will of the People, was released on August 26, 2022. 

The goal of the album, ever since ideas for it arose in late 2019, was that it would explore current events in the world. Since a lot has happened during these years, it, thematically, explores everything from Black Lives Matter protests, to the Covid-19 pandemic and the lockdowns, to the 2021 Capitol riots, and much more.

According to Muse, “Will of the People was created in Los Angeles and London and is influenced by increasing uncertainty and instability in the world. A pandemic, new wars in Europe, massive protests & riots, an attempted insurrection, Western democracy wavering, rising authoritarianism, wildfires and natural disasters and the destabilisation of the global order all informed Will of the People. It has been a worrying and scary time for all of us as the Western empire and the natural world, which we have cradled us for so long are genuinely threatened. This album is a personal navigation through those fears and preparation for what comes next.”

Death Cab for Cutie Add 2023 Tour Dates

30th September 2022 | Category: Concerts

Death Cab for Cutie recently kicked off the North American leg of their tour in support of the new album Asphalt Meadows. Now, the band is committing to spending even more time on the road, as they announced more U.S. shows in January and February 2023, as well as the UK and European ones in March 2023.

Throughout their tour, Death Cab for Cutie will be joined by an array of special guests. Thao, Real Estate, Yo La Tengo, Momma, Chong the Nomad, and Slow Pulp will all take turns as tour companions at various stops.

The band will start off the new year with January 27th show in Louisville, Kentucky. The new stint will primarily cover the southeastern US, hitting cities including Orlando, Birmingham, Little Rock, and Dallas before wrapping up in Nashville on February 14th. Then on March 1st, the band will begin trek through Europe by playing Milan, finally wrapping up on March 29th at London’s Royal Albert Hall.  

Asphalt Meadows, Death Cab’s proper follow-up to 2018’s Thank You For Today, is out now, and the band have celebrated the release with performances on Colbert and Kimmel.

“I think that at the at the core of this band — and this includes people who are no longer in the band — we all care about each other’s well-being, and we’re each other’s biggest fan,” said vocalist Ben Gibbard. “I think I can say for everybody in the band that this is exactly what we always wanted to do. This is the band we always wanted to be in. The older I get, the longer we do this, the more fortunate and grateful I am for the fact that we get to do it at all, but especially at the level that we’re able to do it, and that people still care. I still love the music. You don’t always realize that that’s an incredible honor.”

Samia Unveils New Album ‘Honey’, First Single, and 2023 Tour Dates

29th September 2022 | Category: Concerts

Samia has unveiled her upcoming sophomore album, Honey, which will arrive on January 27th, 2023. She previewed the set with its first single, “Kill Her Freak Out,” and a new string of headlining tour dates in 2023.

Honey contains 11 tracks recorded in a North Carolina studio owned by Sylan Esso and was produced mainly by Caleb Wright, who worked on Samia’s 2020 debut album, The Baby. It also features additional production by Rostam and contributions from Christian Lee Hutson, Briston Maroney, Jake Luppen of Hippo Campus, and Raffaella.

“This record is about learning to see the love around you,” Samia shared in a statement. 

“I was trying to imagine looking back at the end of life and what I’d have to say about it right now. This is a little bit of it. Telling stories, making amends, trying to show people I love them.”

“I wrote ‘Kill Her Freak Out’ at my loneliest and most delusional,” she explained. “I’d been quieting my true feelings for fear that someone would leave. The chorus is a reaction to constantly downplaying the emotions that felt wrong; it was cathartic to say the opposite of what I’d been saying for so long to this person I was trying to impress.” Thankfully, she added, “I didn’t want to kill anyone, obviously, I just wanted to yell.”

Before the new album arrives, Samia is set to support Wallows for back-to-back Los Angeles shows in September, followed by a lengthy European tour opening for Maggie Rogers that runs through the end of 2022. She’ll resume live performances in 2023 for a North American headlining tour in that kicks off in February.

Angel Olsen Announces 2023 US Tour Dates

23rd September 2022 | Category: Concerts

Angel Olsen has announced a new run of 2023 tour dates that starts in January.

Olsen’s 2023 tour specifically hits cities she has not yet played in support of her latest album, including New Orleans, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, and more. The trek begins January 20th in Atlanta and wraps up February 11th in Durham, North Carolina, with Erin Rae providing support on all dates.

Before playing her US shows, Olsen will be on her European tour that begins in Lisbon, with Tomberlin.

Earlier this year, Olsen joined Sharon Van Etten and Julien Baker for “The Wild Hearts Tour;”. In July, she performed “Big Time” on Kimmel, and in August she performed “All the Good Times” on Fallon. More recently, she teamed up with Sturgill Simpson for a new version of “Big Time.”

Earlier this year Olsen appeared on Kyle Meredith With…, where she spoke about the time-traveling dreams that influenced her latest studio album, Big Time, as well as the Twin Peaks-meets-Twilight Zone companion short film that also tells the story of her parents’ passing and her own coming out. She also shared a bit about her recording process.

“Because the songs are minimal, I got to sing and worry about my voice a little bit more. The way things sound on tape and the way my voice is the focal point is really different. I enunciated differently, and got into holding the words out. In a lot of Americana and country music, people hold out the words and lean into it. I enjoyed singing in a different way. I wanted to do something that was really simple and minimal instrumentally, and I think that made me sing out more, or sing more delicately around certain words.”
