Charli XCX and Troye Sivan are ready to make you sweat — the duo are set to head out on their Sweat Tour next month and tickets are almost sold out.

As previously reported by Billboard, select tour dates including New York, San Francisco, Boston and Chicago, were the first to sell out and demand for the Los Angeles tour stop forced the duo to add a second show.

If you didn’t get the chance to score tickets when they first went on sale in April, you’re not out of luck just yet. See below for details on how to buy tickets to the Sweat tour and how much you can expect to spend.

Where to Get Last-Minute Tickets

The Sweat tour launches on in Detroit on Sept. 14 and wraps Oct. 23 in Seattle. Ticket prices vary depending on the show date, but certain concerts are currently in demand – meaning the price could be higher than usual. Tickets to the show at Madison Square Garden, for example, range from around $315 and up at StubHub and Vivid Seats.

Other in-demand dates include Boston on Sept. 28, and San Francisco on Oct. 20. On average, resale tickets to sold-out dates will run you anywhere from around $350 to more than $700 for standing room only general admission passes in select cities. However, more affordable tickets are available at Seat Geek, TicketNetwork and Ticketmaster, in addition to Vivid Seats and StubHub. You might even find tickets for under $100, provided that you don’t mind sitting further away from the stage.

When shopping for resale tickets, timing is everything. But if you’re the kind of music fan that likes to secure concert tickets early it’s best not to wait on a good deal. And if want to shave even more off the base price, use code BILLBOARD150 to save $150 off $300 or more or code BILLBOARD300 to save $300 off $1,000 at TicketNetwork.

Shark Beauty introduced a new blow dryer that’s portable enough to travel and powerful enough to cut down on drying time. The SpeedStyle ProFlex is a foldable blow dryer packed with “high-velocity air flow for fast and easy drying,” according to a press release.

Besides a foldable handle and plenty of power, the $300 blow dryer is equipped with Heat IQ technology that protects your scalp from heat damage by measuring and regulating temperatures 1,000 times per second, and never exceeding 230-degree Fahrenheit, per the product description.

Shark SpeedStyle Pro Flex Hair Dryer

The SpeedStyle Pro Flex measures 6.58 inches x 1.89 inches and 9.76-inches high. It weighs just over half a pound, and the air flow adjusts from 0 to 100 mph in less than a second.  

In addition to the SpeedStyle Pro Flex, Shark Beauty debuted the SpeedStyle Pro ($199), an intelligent hair dryer equipped with Heat IQ technology and plenty of styling accessories, and it’s available in matte black.

The SpeedStyle Pro hasn’t dropped yet, but you can pre-order it below.

Shark SpeedStyle Pro Hair Dryer

Both hair dryers feature a Scalp Shield Mode button that instantly reduces the heat, and accessories to assist in styling such as the Frizz Fighting Finishing Tool and Quicksmooth Brush. The SpeedStyle ProFlex also comes with a Turbo Concentrator designed for fast and sleek styling and Defrizz Fast Diffuser to redefine your curls.

If you’re already familiar with the Shark SpeedStyle (one of my personal favorite blow dryers under $200), the SpeedStyle Pro and Pro Flex offer an upgrade on a great hair dryer that helps you achieve salon-worthy blowouts at home – also a good option for students in hair school.

Does the Shark SpeedStyle rival Dyson? Shark Beauty’s product lineup offers one of the best alternatives to Dyson AirwrapandotherDysonhair tools at half the price, without sacrificing many of the same features and similar technology.

Dennis Quaid appeared on the PBD Podcast and talked about the time he starred opposite 2Pac, James Belushi and James Earl Jones in the 1997 movie Gang Related.
“That was so great,” the actor said of working with the rapper. “I was kinda familiar with 2Pac when we did that movie. We both loved Chinese food, it turns out. So, he and I would be in the trailer, like, every day. We had Chinese food five days in a row.”

“At the time, I really didn’t know much about who he was,” Quaid continued. “I knew who he was, but it’s like we got in there and we talked about acting, we talked about growing up, we talked about our mothers. He had such a great heart. He was such a talented actor too and he had a thirst to learn.”

“I didn’t know he was a poet, really, because that’s what he was. He told the story of how they tried to kill him before in New York, and it was hysterical the way he told it, but it was, like, for real. Then six months later he got killed,” he shared as his emotions started to get the best of him. “That one really hit me hard. It really did.”

Quaid then highlighted how vulnerable Pac was, and how much he could’ve given to the world: “He had so much to give the world, he really did. He would’ve wound up being such a uniter of people.”

The actor later added, “He was just a human being. He was a kid and he was a vulnerable person. He wasn’t like this ‘gangster,’ this, or that, or the other. He had a poet’s heart … It was his vulnerability and he had this curiosity about other people, including me. You never put the two of us together, eating Chinese food in a trailer. But there we were.”

Gang Related was one of several movies released posthumously after 2Pac’s September 1996 death; Gridlock’d, in which he starred alongside Tim Roth, arrived in January 1997.
