Kelsea Ballerini is halfway through her first-ever arena tour, and the country superstar took to Instagram on Thursday (Feb. 27) to reflect on the run so far.
“17 shows, half the tour is done. thank you for showing up so wholeheartedly, for decking out in glitter and making signs, for keeping it safe and fun for everyone,” she wrote alongside a carousel of sparkle-filled moments from the road, both onstage and off. “We feel so lucky to be doing this show for you, i really still can’t believe we get to do it 19 more times. my heart is full, my tank is empty, im gonna go eat some chicken nuggets and take a nice nap before we get back to it for the west coast. i adore and appreciate you more than i can say.”

The Wu-Tang Clan remains one of the most influential and dominant Hip-Hop collectives ever assembled, and it appears that they will embark on one last tour for their devoted fans. Announced earlier this week, the “Wu-Tang Forever: The Fina Chamber” tour kicks off this summer and will span North America well into July.
The Wu-Tang Clan began in earnest in 1992 and exploded onto the scene in 1993 with its classic debut album, Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers), and continued its winning streak via several solo albums from the core members of the Clan such as Method Man, RZA, the late Ol’ Dirty Bastard, Inspectah Deck, GZA, Raekwon, Ghostface Killah, Masta Killa, U-God, and Cappadonna.
The tour will launch on June 6 in Baltimore, Md., and travel for 26 more dates across the continent before ending the tour in Philadelphia. Capping the bittersweet announcement, the “Abbott” of the Wu-Tang Clan, RZA, shared a statement.
“Wu-Tang Clan has shown the world many chambers throughout our career; this tour is called The Final Chamber. This is a special moment for me and all my Wu brothers to run around the globe together one more time and spread the Wu swag, music, and culture. Most importantly to touch our fans and those who have supported us throughout the years. On this tour we’re playing songs we’ve never played before to our audience and me and our production team have designed a Wu-Tang show unlike anything you’ve ever seen. And to top it off we’ve got the amazing Run the Jewels on our side,” RZA shared in a press statement.
With the crowd-pleasing and sonically adjacent Run The Jewels supporting the tour, this will be one of the hottest tickets around and looks to be a can’t-miss event.
Tickets for the tour will go on sale this Friday (Feb. 28) at 10 AM local time. While there isn’t a pre-sale launching for the tour, fans will have a chance to join the lines early via the Wu queue 30 minutes before the general public launch.
At the top of next week, Amazon Music and the Wu-Tang Clan will drop an exclusive live EP. A limited vinyl pressing run of just 1500 units will also be available.

Neil Young and the Chrome Hearts will hit the road this summer for the Love Earth European/North American world tour.

The outing will then jump to the U.S., beginning with an August 8 show at the PNC Music Pavilion in Charlotte, N.C., hitting Detroit, Cleveland, Toronto, New York, Chicago, Denver and Vancouver before winding down on Sept. 15 at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, with more dates to be added at a later time.
Young, 79, will be accompanied by the Chrome Hearts band, featuring his longtime collaborator keyboardist Spooner Oldham, as well as Promise of the Real members Micah Nelson on guitar/vocals, Corey McCormick on bass and Anthony LoGerfo on drums. The group released the noisy anthem “Big Change” in January, a grungy warning shot about a major revolution whose outcome is a jagged question mark.
Trending on Billboard
“Might be a politician/ Tryna say something new/ Might be your decision/ Now you’ve got to see it through/ Looks like a collision,” Young hollers in the tune whose video features the outspoken singer marching through the woods wielding an American flag and a giant boom box. “Ain’t the worst that you could do/ Might be bad, might be good/ Big change is coming to you,” Young warns.
Young debuted the Chrome Hearts band during a show last year and has said an album from the group is tentatively slated for release in April.
Tickets for the tour will go on sale on Tuesday (Feb. 25) via an exclusive pre-sale for Neil Young Archives members, followed by a general on-sale that launches on Friday (Feb. 28). To protect the prices set by Young, a release said that the tour will use Ticketmaster’s Face Value Exchange for all resales and make tickets mobile only and restricted from transfer. According to the release, this will mean that if fans buy tickets and cannot attend they will have the option to re-sell them to other fans at the original price using TM’s Face Value tool; this applies to all shows except those in Illinois, New York, Utah, Virginia and Canada.
Young has also partnered with Farm Aid — which he co-founded in 1985 with Willie Nelson and John Mellencamp — to bring HOMEGROWN Concessions to the summer tour, which will bring sustainably produced, fair-priced family farm food served on compostable serviceware to venues.
After a lifetime of regular touring, Young took a break from the road during the COVID-19 pandemic and had planned to be back on stages for a huge tour with his long-running Crazy Horse compatriots in summer 2024 before cancelling the dates a few weeks in due to an unspecified health issue.

Quevedo is back, and in a big way. On Monday (Feb. 17), the Canary Island artist kicked off his highly anticipated Buenas Noches Tour with a sold-out show at the Movistar Arena in Madrid, the first of three consecutive dates in the Spanish capital. After nearly a year away from the stage, the performer of “Playa del Inglés” returns with a show that demonstrates his artistic evolution and his mastery of the live performance, combining the best of his repertoire with a visual and sound display that meets expectations.
From the first moment, the audience sang along with total devotion, while Quevedo — all dressed in black and with his emblematic diamond chain inspired by Van Gogh’s “Starry Night” — commanded the central stage. In front of about 17,000 fans, the artist sang hits from his most recent album, Buenas Noches, and others that have made him one of the most influential voices in the current Latin urban scene.
But the night wasn’t just his own. The show was full of surprises, with appearances from artists like Aitana, Lola Índigo, De La Ghetto, De La Rose, Sech and La Pantera. With a minimalist but effective stage setup, Quevedo confirmed that he is ready to take his music beyond Spain, with a tour that will soon take him across Latin America.
The Movistar Arena in Madrid perfectly adapted to Quevedo’s style, with a stage located in the center of the venue. This configuration, surrounded by screens and visual effects, allowed attendees to enjoy the show from any angle. The pyrotechnics and synchronized lights show added a spectacular touch, elevating the atmosphere of each performance and complementing the powerful presence of the artist.
After his performances in Madrid, Quevedo will take his show to several Latin American countries, including Mexico, Argentina, Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic. For a full list of dates, click here. He will also visit other cities in Spain, such as Gran Canaria, Barcelona, Malaga and Bilbao.
Below, the eight best moments from Quevedo’s Buenas Noches Tour kick off in Madrid.

Back in 2018, Paul Simon performed the final show of what he called his farewell tour. The gig at Queens’ Flushing Meadows Corona Park in September 2018 came after Simon, 83, revealed that he was suffering from significant hearing loss, a situation that ramped-up significantly during the sessions for the singer’s 2023 song cycle, Seven Psalms.

“Quite suddenly, I lost most of the hearing in my left ear, and nobody has an explanation for it,” he said at the time. “So everything became more difficult.” Simon said he thought the issue wold “pass” or “repair itself,” though it did not and he conceded back then that he would likely never tour again.

Then, surprisingly, there Simon was on Sunday night (Feb. 16) opening the three-plus hour SNL50 Celebration special singing a duet with Sabrina Carpenter on his song “Homeward Bound.” And on Tuesday (Feb. 18), Simon announced that he’s hitting the road this spring and summer for a run of North American dates on the “A Quiet Celebration Tour.”
The shows that will have the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer playing multiple nights in a row in most cities, and it’s slated to kick off on April 4 at the Saenger Theater in New Orleans, followed by stops in Austin, TX, Denver, Minneapolis, Kansas City, St. Louis, Dallas, Nashville, Milwaukee, Chicago, Toronto, Vienna, VA, Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Long Beach, CA, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Vancouver before winding down with three shows at Benaroya Hall in Seattle; see the announcement poster here.
The gigs in smaller rooms than Simon has typically played, will allow the singer to perform the songs from Seven Psalms live for the first time. According to a release, the settings are “in intimate venues where the acoustics are optimal in consideration of the severe hearing loss that he incurred over the last few years.”
A presale for select shows on the tour will kick off on Thursday (Feb. 20) at 10 a.m. local time, with a public on-sale slated for Friday (Feb. 21) at 10 a.m. local time here.
