Ciara and 21 Savage to Perform at Bud Light Super Bowl Music Fest

25th January 2019 | Category: Concerts

Super Bowl weekends are known for plenty of amusing options outside of The Big Game, but this year, Bud Light and the League are taking the experience to a whole new level.

They are teaming up to put on a three-day music festival that is officially a part of the weekend’s NFL festivities. In many ways, the Bud Light Super Bowl Music Fest/EA Sports Bowl will offer both newcomers and locals the Atlanta-bred halftime show that many fans want and expect from a town that literally raises musical superstars. Don’t miss this new festival and buy your tickets on time.

Two months ago, Location Experiences announced the first ever Bud Light Super Bowl Music Festival and we are all dying of anticipation. Not only will Maroon 5 perform on the halftime of Super Bowl but visitors will enjoy three-day event packed with our favourite artists. The special event will take place over three nights at Atlanta’s State Farm Arena between Thursday, 31 January and Saturday, 2 February ahead of Super Bowl LIII.

Ludacris and Migos will kick off the first-night event on 31 January. Aerosmith and Post Malone will headline the second day on 1 February and the starts of the show on 2 February will be Bruno Mars and Cardi B.

Ludacris strongly believes that artists from Atlanta should headline the official pre-Super Bowl concert since they are home to many talented and successful performers and the organizers proudly announced a few days ago that Ciara and 21 Savage, Atlanta-bred artists, will join the list of performers for the festival.

“We are the Motown of the south and have been really dominant in music for quite some time,” says Ludacris, a Grammy winner who is also gearing up to start filming Fast & Furious 9, due out in 2020.

“In terms of bringing it to Atlanta, people understand all the great talent that’s here. People that are from Atlanta should be involved in this process somehow. It’s one thing for the Super Bowl to not involve any Atlanta artists. It’s another thing for people to see Atlanta artists perform. It’s pretty straightforward and pretty understandable.”

Ciara is ready to show some love to the city that raised her before the big game. “I’m so excited to not only join my friend Ludacris on stage at EA SPORTS BOWL, but I’m ready to represent for my city of Atlanta”. 21 Savage is ready to hit the stage in front of the hometown fans and perform new songs from its latest album “I Am-A Was” that topped the Billboard 200. “Performing at home with my boy Metro Boomin is dope. The lineup at EA SPORTS BOWL is dope. I can’t wait for the fans to see it.”

You are just a click away from purchasing the tickets for this amazing festival.

Justin Timberlake Surpasses $150M with Man of the Woods Tour

18th January 2019 | Category: Concerts

Hot Tours have shown today that Justin Timberlake is sitting at the very top thanks to the first reports from his Man of the Woods Tour.

Since he was forced to pause his tour in 2018, Justin came back stronger than ever and is literally eating the stage. It would be a shame to miss such a performance, so don’t waste any time and purchase your tickets right now.

Sting and Shaggy are sitting on the second place of Hot Tours with $4.67 million grossed while J Balvin is third with $2.5 million. Pepe Agular is fourth with $2.2 and Billy Joel fifth with $2.12.

The Man of the Woods was named No.6 tour of 2018 on Billboard’s Year-End Boxscore rankings after Ed Sheeran, Taylor Swift, the Carters, Bruno Mars and Pink. Ed Sheeran did not only gross $429 million in 2018 chart year but also set all-time records for the highest-grossing solo tour and highest year-end gross ever.

Unfortunately, Justin had to take a break due to the bruised vocal cords and rest so now he is back with rescheduled dates before he wraps up the tour on 13 April at Uncasville, Conn.’s Mohegan Sun Arena. He most definitely kicked 2019 the right way, grossing $7.4 million from three mid-Atlantic shows that took place from 4 to 8 January in Washington, D.C., and Raleigh and Charlotte, N.C. We’ll see how much the following dates will bring but back in spring when the tour was launched, Billboard gave prognosis the tour could make up to a staggering $275 million.

Justin started earning money as a child entertainer in the Mickey Mouse Club, then as a lead singer in boyband N’Sync before he made a career for himself as a solo performer and an actor. He has also made a series of investments in several technology and fashion companies. His current net worth is $230 million and he has no intention of slowing down. With more than thirty concerts all over North America, he may even double his tour earnings.

Tickets for all cities can be found right here.

Eight shows that were on the repertoire the week ending 30 December, grossed more than $20 millionaccording to the Broadway League, a national trade association for the industry.

The Lion King shattered the Minskoff Theatre record scooping $3.7 million over nine shows. Mean Girls earned $1.9 million for eight performances while The Ferryman pulled just a bit over $1 million for eight shows.

Two play properties also did exceedingly well, with Harry Potter and the Cursed Child setting a record for weekly ticket sales for a play and $2.5 million for eight shows, with To Kill A Mockingbird scoring $1.7 million over eight shows. To Kill a Mockingbird became the highest single-week grossing American play in Broadway history.
