Pentatonix Announce 2022 Christmas Spectacular Tour

21st September 2022 | Category: Concerts

Pentatonix are going on “A Christmas Spectacular Tour,” the quintet’s 2022 production that will also serve as the debut for their latest album, Holidays Around the World. The album will be released on October 28th, only weeks before the 22-date arena trek kicks off.

Founding member Scott Hoying commented on the tour saying, 

“The holidays have taken on a new meaning for all of us over the past couple of years. We cherish this time of year more than ever. However, we wanted to spread this message as far as possible. That’s why we decided to bridge the gap between cultures and genres in a way we never have before.”

“A Christmas Spectacular Tour” begins in Oakland on November 17th. The group spends the first few days in Utah and Colorado before going south to Fort Worth, Texas, Tulsa, Oklahoma, and Lincoln, Nebraska. They cover the Midwest from Sioux Falls, South Dakota to Green Bay, Wisconsin, then open in December in Illinois, Kentucky, and Indiana.

They’ll play Memphis on December 10th, Nashville on December 11th, and two shows in Florida between Jacksonville and Hollywood. After hitting up the East Coast via North Carolina and Virginia, Pentatonix stops in Hershey, Pennsylvania on December 20th and wraps up on December 22nd at Connecticut’s Mohegan Sun Arena.

The acapella quintet will be joined on their “Christmas Spectacular Tour” by sibling trio and winners of The Voice Season 21, Girl Named Tom.

Bikini Kill Announce Rescheduled 2023 Tour Dates

13th September 2022 | Category: Concerts

Bikini Kill have announced a run of rescheduled North American tour dates for Spring 2023.

The tour, which begins on March 30 in Nashville, makes up for performances that were canceled in June and July because one of the band members tested positive for COVID.

It will include stops in Atlanta, Boston, Montreal, Toronto, Philadelphia, and more before wrapping in Knoxville, Tennessee on April 23rd. 

The tour will feature the iconic line-up Kathleen Hanna (vocals), Kathi Wilcox (bass guitar), and Tobi Vail (drums) playing alongside guitarist Sara Landeau. 

Bikini Kill initially reunited in 2019 for a series of concerts in the US and UK. A more extensive outing was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but the group returned to the road earlier this year.

Prior to Spring 2023, Bikini Kill have a couple of remaining dates in the Pacific Northwest. 

Early in 2020, in an interview with Pitchfork, Hanna stated that the band had no plans at the time to create new music.

“We don’t have plans to. I wouldn’t know how to write in that way anymore. Could I see doing some cover songs? Sure. Could I see that leading somewhere? Sure. I don’t know. I just saw an [old] interview with me the other day that was like, “It’ll be a cold day in hell before I ever play with Bikini Kill again.” Watch me eat those words. I’m just saying, nothing’s off the table. I might say right now that I cannot see Bikini Kill writing new material, but who the fuck knows?”

Machine Head Announce Fall 2022 US Tour

8th September 2022 | Category: Concerts

Machine Head have announced a Fall 2022 US tour in support of their recently released new album, ØF KINGDØM AND CRØWN.

The outing kicks off November 3rd in Fresno, California and runs through December 23rd in Sacramento, California.

Machine Head frontman Robb Flynn had this to say in a press statement:

“Were fucking STOKED to get out and demolish venues in some of our favorite small towns in America. We have had an awesome and productive pandemic break writing our new album ØF KINGDØM AND CRØWN, but now it’s time for Machine Head to go melt some faces!! The reaction to our ‘Electric Happy Hour (Live)’ shows in Scotland so far are nothing short of incredible, so for this first leg of this U.S. run we will continue and will see us performing solo for 2 ½ to 3 hours a night. We LOVED performing our online shows which we dubbed Electric Happy Hour for you Head Cases over the pandemic, the loose, beer-drenched and unscripted setlist, the deep-cuts, the random cover songs, it gave us the freedom to do whatever the fuck we wanted for as long as we wanted every night was liberating. It’s not what everyone else is doing, and frankly, there are not a lot of bands who could even pull it off, but Machine Head CAN pull it off, and we are excited as fuck to do it again. We are carving our own path here, playing by our own rules, and as an artist, it’s the best feeling in the world, so come down and rage!!”

Johnny Depp to Join Most of Jeff Beck’s North American Tour Dates

5th September 2022 | Category: Concerts

Johnny Depp is set to join Jeff Beck for the majority of the guitarist’s upcoming North American tour.

The news follows the release of the pair’s joint album, 18, which arrived on July 15th.

The dates were announced earlier this month, but Depp’s involvement wasn’t revealed at the time. The actor-musician will be joining Beck on the road beginning October 4th in Washington, D.C., and will remain on the outing through its closing date of November 12th in Reno, Nevada.

Prior to Depp joining the tour, Beck will play a handful of late September shows supporting ZZ Top, as well as one headlining gig in Atlanta on October 1st.

Depp and Beck have teamed up on various behind-the-scenes projects for several years. Back in 2020, the pair released a cover of John Lennon‘s ‘Isolation’, marking their first official release together.

Following reports they were working on new music together, Depp – who, at the time, was waiting for the verdict in his defamation trial against ex-wife Amber Heard – appeared on stage alongside Beck at a gig in Sheffield on May 29, 2021, performing covers of Lennon, Marvin Gaye and Jimi Hendrix. The duo then appeared together for the second time at London’s Royal Albert Hall two nights later.

On one of the Depp originals, “Sad Motherfuckin’ Parade,” the actor was accused of lifting lyrics from an old poem titled “Hobo Ben.” The record label responded by stating, “If appropriate, additional copyright credits will be added to all forms of the album.”
