Morgan Wallen is slated to be the latest artist with a bar in downtown Nashville.
The Billboard Hot 100 chart-topper and Knoxville-area native will open a six-story, 30,000-square-feet venue called This Bar and Tennessee Kitchen this summer on Nashville’s Lower Broadway, located on 4th Avenue. The venue will feature three live music stages and an open-air rooftop. A gift shop will feature exclusive Wallen merchandise offerings.

Wallen teamed with TC Restaurant Group to create the space; TC Restaurant Group is also responsible for working on other artist-curated venues including FGL House, Jason Aldean’s Kitchen + Rooftop Bar, Miranda Lambert’s Casa Rosa and Luke Bryan’s Luke’s 32 Bridge Food+Drink.

Each floor of This Bar and Tennessee Kitchen will feature photos and memorabilia from Wallen’s childhood and career thus far. The menu will be curated by Wallen with chef Tomasz Wosiak, vice president of culinary development for TC Restaurant Group, and feature Southern delectables, bar bites, Tennessee favorites and some of Wallen’s mother’s recipes. 

“I sing about finding myself in ‘this bar,’ and now it’s coming to life. This venue will hold true to everything I love and is inspired by my fans and the way they have embraced me and my music,” Wallen said in a statement. “We’re designing a menu around some of my family favorites, so it brings a piece of East Tennessee to Music City. I hope This Bar is a place you’ll want to find yourself in and make memories with your friends and family and celebrate the way country music has brought us all together.” “Morgan Wallen is one of the most sought after stars in the music industry, and we are thrilled that he has trusted us to deliver a concept that will bring him closer to his fans, hold fast to his roots and enshrine his name among an exclusive group of artists who can claim international stardom with a Lower Broadway destination fans all over the world seek out,” said Adam Hesler, president at TC Restaurant Group, via a statement.

In the world of lipsticks, certain colors are considered more iconic than others. Standing the test of time essentially means that no matter what year we happen to be in, that lipstick shade never goes out of style. And red lipstick definitely fits the bill.

Madison Beer is partnering with JBL to give fans exclusive access to her upcoming tour, the audio brand announced Tuesday (Feb. 13).

Beer will create custom content for fans including exclusive, behind-the-scenes moments and share her tour experiences — all while keeping her JBL PartyBox speaker and favorite JBL headphones in tow.

“I’ve always had JBL speakers on set with me, or when I’m getting glam for things, so when this partnership came about, I was like, ‘This feels so organic,’” the singer told Billboard in an interview last week.

“Partnering with a company that really is so focused on elevating sound and music is so important to me.”

JBL unveiled a new fleet of speakers and accessories in January. The lineup includes the JBL PartyBox Club 120, JBL PartyBox Stage 320 and JBL PartyBox Wireless Mic.

The JBL PartyBox Club 120 is $499.95 at Amazon, JBL PartyBox Club 320 is $649.95 and JBL PartyBox Wireless Mic is $119.95. The new products will be released on April 21 at JBL.com and Amazon.

“The PartyBox is definitely my favorite when I have friends over and we’re doing karaoke,” Beer said of her top JBL products. “It’s super fun and I’m so lucky that I got to use [the new PartyBox speaker] before it’s even out.

“The JBL Clip has always been a staple for me, because I’m very forgetful and being able to just, like, put it on my purse or put it on something like my jeans, it’s really great,” Beer added. “I love all the speakers. They’re really good, but the Clip is my favorite.”

The JBL PartyBox Club 120 features up to 12 hours of playtime and up to 24 hours when you swap out the replaceable battery. Delivering JBL’s signature deep bass and powerful, the PartyBox Club 120 is equipped with two microphone inputs, one guitar input and strobe light effects that you can sync to the music.

“It’s honestly insane. It’s huge,” Beer said of the speaker. “If you’re having a party and you need everyone to hear the music, it’s the perfect [speaker].”

The PartyBox Stage 320 is equipped with dual, 6.5-inch woofers and 25mm dome tweeters, plus guitar and mic inputs, up to 18 hours of playtime (double that with the swappable battery) and quick-charging technology that gives you two hours of playtime after just 10 minutes of charging.

Both PartyBox speakers feature AI Sound Boost technology which ”analyzes audio in real time with an AI algorithm to optimize the acoustic output level,” according to JBL.

The PartyBox Wireless Mic is compatible with both speakers and features up to 20 hours of playtime and a rechargeable battery. All of the new products are made with recycled plastic.

Beer will host an intimate event in New York City on May 18 to launch the new JBL PartyBox series lineup. The event will be held during the New York City stop on The Spinnin Tour and fans will have the chance to win tickets and JBL products. The brand will host activations in New York City on May 17 and 18 to celebrate the new products.

The Spinnin Tour launches in Stockholm, Sweden, on Feb. 24 and will stop in several countries including Norway, Belgium, Germany, Poland, Austria, Italy, the U.K. and Spain. Tickets are available at Ticketmaster, StubHub and Vivid Seats.

“We’re in rehearsals right now, just getting through these songs and it’s amazing, I can’t wait for people to hear it,” said Beer. The U.S. leg kicks off on April 24 and will stop in Chicago, Nashville, Detroit, Washington D.C., New York City, Toronto, Canada, Boston and other cities.  

Beer also released a new single, “Make You Mine,” on Feb. 9. “It’s my favorite song I’ve made to date,” she revealed. “It’s just so fun, such a feel-good song. It’s sexy, it’s infectious. I haven’t played it for anyone that hasn’t just like [started] dancing and felt immediately hotter after listening to it, and that’s always how I want to make people feel.”

Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre have been sipping on “Gin and Juice” for 30 years, and now, they’re teaming up to launch a cocktail in honor of their collaborative anthem.

Gin & Juice will be available in four flavors: apricot, citrus, melon and passion fruit. After shaking up the music world, Snoop and Dre are looking to make a dent in the spirits industry with help from record executive powerhouse Jimmy Iovine, who is an investor in the endeavor.

“Together, we always try to create magic. We’re having fun being creative, and everything about this product is really us,” Dr. Dre said in a statement. “There’s passion behind it, and friendship and love and a culture. We’re shooting to make everything we do magnificent, and fortunately, most of the time we hit the target.” 

While Snoop added of entering the cocktail space: “Look where we’re at in our careers. Look at our age and look at what we’ve done, and we still love each other, so why not do something together? A lot of times people have been in a relationship for 30 years and can’t talk to each other, can’t hang out, so it’s just fun to be in a partnership with people that you actually love.”

Dr. Dre teased the launch of Gin & Juice with a commercial posted to social media over the weekend ahead of the Super Bowl, during which Snoop starred in an ad for Skechers.

The pair of hip-hop OGs have an extensive collaborative history that’s spilled into the business world. “Gin and Juice” landed on Snoop’s acclaimed Doggystyle debut in 1993, and the funky anthem became the album’s second single in January 1994.

“Gin and Juice” carried its momentum to the Grammy Awards, where the laid-back tune was nominated in the best rap solo performance category. The Dr. Dre-produced hit peaked at No. 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 in March 1994.

As for the Gin & Juice drinks, fans can expect the gin-based cocktails to hit liquor store shelves from now through the spring. Package sizes and retail prices are not yet known.

After conquering Las Vegas, Usher is officially taking his show on the road, and fans can’t wait to see him live. Presale tickets for the R&B star’s Past Present Future Tour, announced earlier in the week, went on sale on Friday (Feb. 9).

General onsale starts on Monday (Feb. 12) at 10 a.m. local time.

The tour launches on Aug. 20 in Washington D.C. and will make stops in Boston, Philadelphia, Oakland, Calif., Denver, Detroit, Los Angeles, Miami and other cities before coming to a close in Chicago on Oct. 31. The tour has been extended due to “overwhelming demand,” Usher revealed Thursday in a post on X.

The “Good Good” singer added extra shows to most of the cities on the tour, including Washington D.C., Detroit, Chicago, Baltimore, Boston, Brooklyn, Miami, Los Angeles, St. Louis, Chicago, Atlanta, Philadelphia and Charlotte, N.C.

A select number of tickets are currently available on resale sites such as Vivid Seats, StubHub, SeatGeek, Viagogo and GameTime. Prices range from around $100-$125 on the low end to over $1,000 for VIP tickets.

How to Get Tickets on Ticketmaster

Ticketmaster’s presale is happening now. The lowest prices that we’ve seen online range from around $725 to more than $1,000 for opening night in Washington D.C. and Usher’s shows in Los Angeles in September.

Tickets for later dates on the tour, such as Sept. 13 in Detroit and Sep. 29 in Oakland, are priced at $482-$595. Most of the VIP presale tickets are currently priced at more than $1,000 at Ticketmaster.

Fans can also purchase VIP experience packages like the Ultimate Meet & Greet Experience, which includes one premium reserved ticket in the first three rows, a VIP host, light snacks, desserts and beverages, a ride share voucher, early access to shop show merchandise, an exclusive VIP tour poster and VIP gift, and of course, you’ll get to meet Usher and take a photo.

The Diamond Barstool, Onstage Photo and VIP Lounge Experience and Gold Hightop Table & VIP Lounge Experience includes group photo opportunities and special seating in the VIP Bar section.

How to Get Tickets on Vivid Seats

Looking for the cheap tickets to see Usher? At Vivid Seats, you’ll find resale tickets for under $100, though most tickets are around $125 and up for general admission and around $1,000-$1,500 for VIP. Use code: BB2024 to save $20 off ticket orders of $200 or more.

How to Get Tickets on StubHub

StubHub is a great resource for last-minute, cheap tickets — but the key to getting the best deal is striking at the right time. In this case, it’s better to secure your tickets as soon as possible as ticket demand will likely spike following Usher’s Super Bowl halftime show on Sunday (Feb. 11).

Tickets on StubHub are priced as low as $89, but most of the cheaper tickets fall in the $100-$150 range. VIP tickets are priced from around $800 to more than $6,000.

Which tickets are the most expensive? Certain cities will cost you more than others. For example, Usher’s shows in Atlanta are some of fastest-selling tickets at StubHub and more expensive than some of the other cities on the tour. Right now, tickets for Atlanta range from as low as $270 for general admission to over $9,000 for VIP.

How to Get Tickets on SeatGeek

SeatGeek is serving up some of the cheapest ticket prices that we’ve seen for Usher’s tour. Prices range from $65 to $246 for general admission. VIP packages range from $383-$3,963 (take $10 off eligible purchases of $250+ with code BILLBOARD10. Valid on first purchase only).

GameTime is another site that has reasonably-priced Usher tickets starting as low as $86 for select dates. But no matter how you score tickets, you’ll probably end up spending at least $200-$300 for a good view of the stage, and even more for VIP.

Usher has a busy performance schedule ahead. Before kicking off the Past Present Future Tour, the Grammy winner will headline the Lovers & Friends Festival in Las Vegas in May.
