Bring Me The Horizon have announced the dates of their ‘Post Human’ UK arena tour, which is scheduled to launch in September 2021.

The band plan is to tour next year in support of their recently announced EP ‘Post Human: Survival Horror’, which is set for release on October 30.

BMTH have now announced a set consisting of five live dates for September 2021. The tour is set to visit Glasgow, Cardiff, Sheffield, Birmingham, and London next year. The shows are reportedly set to be the band’s “only UK dates” in 2021.

The forthcoming EP, announced overnight, follows the band’s two 2019 releases: the studio album ‘amo’, and the EP ‘Music to Listen To…’.

It will include nine songs in total, three of which have been previously released. The band released ‘Ludens’ in November 2019, as part of the soundtrack to the video game Death Stranding. This was followed in June 2020 by ‘Parasite Eve’, and again last month with the release of Yungblud collaboration ‘Obey’.

Additionally, Japanese band BABYMETAL, London duo Nova Twins, and Evanescence frontwoman Amy Lee will all appear on the EP. It marks the first time each act has worked with the band.

Lee took to Twitter to express her excitement for her collaboration, which is titled ‘One Day the Only Butterflies Left Will Be in Your Chest as You March Towards Your Death’.

“I cannot WAIT for this to come out. I love our collab SO much,” she wrote.

Bring Me The Horizon recorded ‘POST HUMAN: SURVIVAL HORROR’ periodically over the past year. Vocalist Oli Sykes and keyboardist Jordan Fish also served as the EP’s producers, alongside video game composer Mick Gordon.

The tickets for the tour in support of the EP have not gone on sale yet, but after they do, they will be available at this link. 

Bring Me The Horizon 2021 UK Tour 

Show Date and Time: September 21 – September 26, 2021

Show Location: SSE Hydro, Glasgow – O2 Arena, London

Eric Clapton has announced a brief residency at London’s Royal Albert Hall. The three dates there are his only U.K. dates of 2021. 

The concerts are the first he’s announced since he rescheduled his 2020 tour to 2021 last March 24  due to “the advice of global healthcare agencies and local government instructions.” 

The European tour, originally revealed in 2019, was to start on May 29, 2020, and continue through June. However, it will now take place almost exactly one year later in Spring 2021.

When the 2020 tour was moved to 2021 on March 24, Clapton’s Facebook page noted:
“The health and safety of our band, crew, venue staff and fans are our top priority.” All of the venues remain the same.

When the original 2020 dates were revealed, it was expected that Clapton would once again be joined by the musicians Nathan East (bass), Paul Carrack (keyboards), Chris Stainton (Keyboards), Doyle Bramhall II (guitar), and the backing vocalists Sharon White and Katie Kissoon.

The upcoming tour will be Clapton’s first such run in some time. In recent years, the classic rock legend, who turned 75 on March 30, has avoided a lengthy run of dates, preferring to do a handful at a time.

At many of those shows, he’s toured with such fellow blues-rock guitarists as Jimmie Vaughan and Gary Clark, Jr., who each do their own brief sets. Clapton and his band then perform perhaps 15 songs including such career-spanning favorites as “Layla,” “I Shot the Sheriff,” “Tears in Heaven” and “Key to the Highway.”

The legendary guitarist has surpassed an unfathomable 200 Hall performances, marked 50 years of music, and celebrated his 70th birthday there in 2015.

Coachella and its sister country festival Stagecoach have already been postponed multiple times as the coronavirus pandemic continues. 

In March, the festivals announced a move from April to October; Friday would’ve been the first weekend of Coachella if those plans had stuck, but in June, promoters Goldenvoice announced a postponement until April of 2021. 

Now Rolling Stone reports that the festival is likely headed for another rescheduling, this time to October of 2021. Here’s more from Rolling Stone:

Coachella is “100% moving” again, one person who works at a major talent agency that represents popular festival performers told Rolling Stone. 

“Frankly, they were supposed to announce [the change] over Labor Day. They hadn’t. And they were supposed to announce at the end of September — they hadn’t.” 

The source says they have heard from Goldenvoice CEO and Coachella founder Paul Tollett’s office that the new date will either be in the first or second week of October 2021, “but they are holding the first three weeks to be safe” as not all artists have confirmed availability.

Representatives for AEG and Goldenvoice, and a Riverside County health official wouldn’t comment on another postponement to Rolling Stone. Meanwhile, the city manager of Indio, CA, Mark Scott, told them that, “It would not surprise me if they had to defer again.”

Coachella’s original 2020 lineup included headliners Rage Against the Machine, Frank Ocean, Travis Scott,  Lana Del Rey, Thom Yorke, Run The Jewels, Calvin Harris, Flume, Lil Uzi Vert, Disclosure, 21 Savage, Megan Thee Stallion, DaBaby, FKA twigs, Brockhampton, Big Sean, City Girls, Caribou, Swae Lee, Daniel Caesar, Ari Lennox, Charli XCX, Chicano Batman, Kim Petras, IDLES, Daphni, Koffee, Hot Chip, Carly Rae Jepsen, and many more.

It’s likely that a partially or entirely new lineup will be announced by the time the festival can next take place. Stay tuned for more info.

Tame Impala’s plans to go on tour this summer behind February’s The Slow Rush had to change, like many other artists’, because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Vocalist Kevin Parker had extensive touring plans, originally planning on making the North American rounds with artists like Clairo and MGMT as openers.

Now the band has revealed their rescheduled dates. Instead of touring this year, they’ll hit the road in the summer and fall of 2021. 

Tickets sold for the original dates will be honored at the new shows, and refunds will be available to those who aren’t able to attend. The 21-date run is scheduled to kick off in Mexico City on July 22 and end in Miami on October 18 of the next year. Some other cities that it includes are Phoenix, Denver, San Francisco, Houston, Dallas, Washington DC, and more.

The Australian leg of the tour has been also delayed for the second time and will now kick off on December 7, 2021, in Sydney, before moving through Brisbane, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth.

Tame Impala released their highly-anticipated album The Slow Rush back in February. The fourth studio album by the Australian musical project follows the 2015 album Currents and the 2019 singles “Patience” and “Borderline”, with the latter serving as the first single from the album.

Tame Impala have shared a live performance video that sees them playing a pair of tracks from an empty HBF Park in Perth.

The performance – in celebration of FIFA 21‘s imminent October 9 release  – sees Kevin Parker and co. playing ‘Elephant’ from 2012’s ‘Lonerism’ along with ‘Is It True’ from this year’s ‘The Slow Rush’. The latter will feature on the game’s official soundtrack.

In addition to ‘Is It True’, the FIFA 21 soundtrack will feature the likes of Dua Lipa (‘Love Is Religion’ [The Blessed Madonna Remix]), Alfie Templeman (‘Wish I Was Younger’), Celeste (‘Stop This Flame’), Royal Blood (‘Trouble’s Coming’) and Still Woozy (‘Window’).

Show Location: Foro Sol Stadium, Mexico City, Mexico – American Airlines Arena, Miami, FL

AC/DC have announced a reunion, featuring members who had left the classic rock band in recent years.

On their Instagram they shared a photo of the new composition of the band with vocalist Brian Johnson, bassist Cliff Williams, drummer Phil Rudd, and Angus Young and Stevie Young on guitars. The first three have previously departed. 

“Are you ready? #PWRUP,” the band posted alongside a photo.

Johnson had been the band’s frontman since 1980, following the death of original singer Bon Scott, but had quit in 2016 due to hearing loss; Williams retired in 2017.

It’s Rudd’s third run in the Australian band, first playing from 1975 to 1983, then rejoining in 1994. In 2015 he was sentenced to eight months’ house arrest after being charged with drug possession and threatening to kill his personal assistant. He was replaced by former AC/DC drummer Chris Slade.

The three returning musicians are joined by uncle-and-nephew guitarists Angus Young and Stevie Young, who had remained in the lineup. Stevie replaced Angus’s brother Malcolm in 2014, after Malcolm was diagnosed with dementia. Malcolm Young died in 2017.

No new album or tour has been announced with the returning lineup, but the Instagram post’s Pwr Up caption suggests an album of the same name. The band’s last album was Rock or Bust in 2014.

However, AC/DC‘s next album is said to have been recorded, but the coronavirus pandemic has forced them to delay its release. In July, Twisted Sister’s Dee Snider, a close friend of the band, claimed that, adding: 

“This is gonna be a miracle of technology. What will be achieved, the reuniting of the band that we know for one more album, is gonna be uplifting and heartbreaking at the same time. Because nothing goes on forever. But this is the ultimate ‘one more time.”

It comes after Snider also shared in February that during a dinner he had with Brian Johnson the frontman told him “a lot of stuff, and a lot of stuff that I don’t wanna say”.

“But we know from the photos, and Brian confirmed it, they’ve been in the studio, they’ve been recording,” he added.
