A total of 13 fresh dates were revealed for what has already become the rapper’s highest-selling tour to date, according to promoter Live Nation Entertainment. The new North American dates rolled out on Tuesday include gigs in Atlanta, Boston, Brooklyn, Chicago, Nashville, and Toronto along with just-announced global dates in Amsterdam, Cologne, Copenhagen, Glasgow, Manchester, Paris and Stockholm.

As part of its Latin American leg, Karol G‘s Mañana Será Bonito Tour will make three stops in Mexico, starting February 8 at the capital’s emblematic Estadio Azteca, promoter Ocesa said Tuesday (Oct. 17) in a press release.

According to the Colombian star’s official website, the other two dates scheduled in Mexico are February 16, at the Estadio Mobil Super in the northern city of Monterrey, and February 23 at the Tres de Marzo stadium in Guadalajara.

Pre-sale for HSBC cardholders for the Estadio Azteca show begins next Monday and Tuesday (Oct. 23-24), and the following day they will be available to the general public at the venue’s box office or through Ticketmaster, Ocesa said.

The show at the Estadio Azteca will be produced by Ocesa and Westwood. The collaboration between both promoters had previously occurred last December, when Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny sang at the same venue. The nicknamed “Coloso de Santa Úrsula” has room for about 83,000 people, according to its website. Among other stars that have performed there are U2, Madonna and Vicente Fernández.

The last time that “La Bichota” performed in Mexico City was in June 2022, when she gave two sold-out concerts at the Arena Ciudad de México, where she had RBD’s Anahí and Mexican rock band Café Tacvba as special guests.

Karol G‘s upcoming shows in Mexico, after her successful U.S. stadiums tour, mark the beginning of a journey through 18 Latin American cities, including in her native Colombia, Peru, Chile, Guatemala, Argentina and Brazil.

Her previous arenas stint, the 2022 $trip Love Tour, became the highest-grossing US tour by a Latina woman in history. It grossed $69.9 million across 33 shows in North America, according to figures reported to Billboard Boxscore, surpassing Jennifer Lopez’s $50 million on the 2019 It’s My Party World Tour and Shakira’s $28.2 million on the 2018 El Dorado World Tour.

Last August, Karol G was the first Latina headliner at Lollapalooza. She subsequently released her second album of the year, Mañana Será Bonito (Bichota Season), six months after Mañana Será Bonito, which debuted atop the Billboard 200 becoming the first No. 1 by a woman singing in Spanish in the history of the chart.

You might be so not invited to Adam Sandler‘s daughter’s bar mitzvah, but the comedian is giving his fans ample opportunity to see him live this fall. On Wednesday (Sept. 13), Live Nation announced that Sandler is set to embark on a 25-date North American trek titled the I Missed You Tour.
Produced by Live Nation, the tour will commence on Oct. 12 at Rogers Arena in Vancouver, BC, and make stops in Las Vegas, Memphis, Toronto and more before closing in Denver at Ball Arena on Dec. 12. The I Missed You Tour marks Sandler’s second major trek of the year. In March, the three-time Grammy-nominated comedian and actor added seven more shows to his Adam Sandler LIVE tour.

The new tour comes on the heels of several acclaimed films from the five-time Emmy nominee. This year, Sandler produced and starred in You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah alongside Tony winner Idina Menzel, wife Jackie Sandler and daughters Sadie and Sunny Sandler. Last year, he acted opposite Academy Award nominee Queen Latifah in the sports dramedy Hustle, for which he won the People’s Choice Award for The Comedy Movie Star of 2022. Back in 2019, Sandler flaunted his dramatic chops in the award-winning thriller Uncut Gems.

Sandler has charted five titles on the Billboard 200, peaking with 1999’s Stan and Judy’s Kid at No. 16, while his “Chanukah Song” peaked at No. 80 on the Billboard Hot 100 in early 1999. Earlier this year, Sandler was honored with the 2023 Mark Twain Prize for American Humor.

Through a Live Nation presale, fans will be able to purchase tickets to the I Missed You Tour beginning Thursday at noon local time. The general sale starts Friday at noon local time.

Alicia Keys unveiled the dates for her upcoming Keys to the Summer Tour across North America on Tuesday (April 18).

The run of 23 dates kicks off June 28 at FLA Live Arena in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., and make stops in cities including Atlanta, Boston, New Orleans, Salt Lake City and Seattle before closing Aug. 2 at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, Calif. Each stop will be unlike any concert the KEYS II star has done before thanks to completely redesigned production and staging that will present the singer’s soulful, piano-driven sound to fans in the round for the very first time.

In a statement, Keys said the cross-country trek “is going to be completely unforgettable and unmissable! I describe it as a celebration of freedom and self-liberation! It’s going to be colorful, magical and will light up your body, soul and all of your senses! This is my first time creating a 360 experience and we’ve made sure it’s like nothing you’ve ever seen! I’m so excited to see y’all this summer!

Tickets for the tour go on sale to the general public this Friday (April 21) at 9 a.m. local time. However, Alicia Keys Fan Club and Keys Soulcare pre-sales are already ongoing, and additional pre-sales for Spotify, Live Nation, Ticketmaster and each venue on the tour will begin Thursday (April 20) at 10 a.m. local time. Some VIP packages will include the opportunity to join Keys in one of her intimate and highly exclusive “Soulcare Sessions” before each show.

In other news, Keys’ women-led “She Is the Music” songwriting camps — which she introduced back in 2018 while accepting the Songwriter Icon Award at Billboard Women in Music — will be the subject of Uncharted, a new documentary directed by Beth Aala set to premiere during the 2023 Tribeca Festival.

Bright Eyes fans who missed last year’s first-in-a-decade tour of Conor Oberst and his bandmates Mike Mogis and Nathaniel Walcott will get a second chance at seeing the trio this Friday, when tickets go on sale for eight new Bright Eyes shows at small venues across the Midwest and South as he tours ahead of his performance at the Corona Capital festival in Guadalajara, May 21.

Demand for the brief tour is expected to be high as Oberst and crew follow up last year’s extensive U.S. and European tour in support of their 2020 record Down In The Weeds, Where The World Once Was, which debuted at No. 36 on the Billboard 200 albums chart.

While the 2022 tour generally received positive reviews from fans — including a July performance at LA Greek’s Theatre that music writer Jeff Miller described as “moving with confidence, playing with heart, and still foraging his woe-is-me persona in a wholly relatable way” — the tour did struggle midway through, with Oberst even walking off stage during a May gig in Houston.

But Oberst and the band were able to iron out the issues and close 2022 with a kinetic and powerful set at the Corona Capital festival inside Mexico City’s sprawling Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez. From opening his set with anxious and frenzied rendition of his 2020 album opening “Dance and Song” to taking the guitar for a shaking and exhausting ride through “Old Soul Song,” Bright Eyes crew delivered a set that went as close to the edge of Oberst’s discontent as anyone dare venture.

Starting May 10, the 42-year-old Omaha native and his bandmates will perform at the famed Pabst Theater in Milwaukee, First Avenue in Minneapolis and the brand-new Salt Shed in Chicago on May 12, before heading south for a second chance in Houston where he will once again perform at the city’s famed White Oak Music Hall, almost exactly one year from the anniversary of the cancelled 2022 gig. It’s an audacious move, and while his camp is cautious not to overhype his return, it’s encouraging for many to see him face the past on his own terms.

Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Central. Purchase tickets here.

Following the conclusion of their ‘USA Blood Moon’ tour earlier this year, ONEUS revealed the 2023 Reach for Us World Tour with stops announced in Asia, North America, and South America so far. The group will kick the new year off by opening the U.S. leg on January 12, 2023, at New York’s Apollo Theater, before visiting countries like Mexico, Chile, and Brazil in February.

Since wrapping their last U.S. tour in March, ONEUS released two new EPs—Trickster in May and Malus in September—which led to the group’s best album sales yet in Korea. The group’s record label RBW says their return to the States will deliver a mix of ONEUS hits and other pop culture–inspired performances.

“ONEUS is so excited and honored to be coming back to the U.S.,” RBW shares in a statement to Billboard. “The boys have been working hard on giving America the ultimate mix of music, dance, and fashion, including an electrifying Top Gun-inspired dance number and a BLACKPINK cover. The band can’t wait to meet all their American friends and show them they have many musical surprises and even more new moves.”

If you couldn’t score tickets to Taylor Swift‘s 2023 Eras Tour, don’t fret. On Friday (Nov. 11), the singer added 17 more shows to the 27-date U.S. tour that will celebrate all 10 of her studio albums released since 2006.
After adding 8 more shows last week, Swift tacked on 17 more this morning, double (and tripling) down on some of the cities on the list, including Glendale (AZ), Las Vegas, Arlington (TX), Tampa, Houston, Atlanta, Nashville, Chicago, Detroit, Pittsburgh, Minneapolis, Cincinnati, Kansas City, Denver and Los Angeles.

With the addition of the new gigs to the now-52-date outing, Swift will now set up shop for five nights in L.A. at SoFi Stadium, where she is currently slated to wrap up her most extensive U.S. stadium run to date with shows on Aug. 3, 4, 5, 8 and 9.

Swift hasn’t hit the road since 2018, when she launched her best-selling Reputation Tour. She had planned on performing again after the release of her 2019 record Lover in a concert series called Lover Fest, but canceled the shows due to the COVID-19 pandemic. For those keeping score at home, this means that Tay has six albums-worth of new material that she’s never played live — if you include the previously unreleased vault tracks on 2021’s Fearless (Taylor’s Version) and Red (Taylor’s Version). Studio albums Folklore, Evermore and, of course her latest, Midnights, which have all also been released in the time between Lover and the Eras Tour.
