Taylor Swift‘s The Eras Tour is kicking off in less than two weeks, and the pop star’s close friend, model Gigi Hadid, is already preparing to have a major lack of composure when Swift performs live and in person.
“I’m a psychopath at a Taylor show,” Hadid said on the Tuesday (March 7) episode of E! News, while promoting the new season of her Next in Fashion reality competition. “I go nuts. I’m not cool at all. I’m like the most embarrassing friend.”
As a close friend of the “Lavender Haze” singer, Hadid was likely not one of the many fans trying to score tickets to the pop star’s The Eras Tour, the demand of which crashed Ticketmaster servers and resulted in an investigation of the ticket company by the United States Senate to see if it has abused its power over the live music industry. But Swift will surely hook Hadid up. “I’ll make it to a few,” the model said of the upcoming concerts. “I try to make it to as many as I can.”
And as for attire, Hadid likes to stay comfy to have room to dance the night away. “I like to boogie, so I’m usually in jeans and T-shirt. I’ll rep some Taylor merch if I get some,” she added.
Swift’s Eras Tour is scheduled to kick off March 18, starting with a pair of dates at Glendale, Ariz.’s State Farm Stadium. HAIM, Paramore, Beabadoobee, GAYLE, Muna, Gracie Abrams, Phoebe Bridgers, Girl in Red and Owenn are among the acts Swift has asked to join her on the trek, which marks the pop star’s biggest tour to date.
Dierks Bentley is gearing up to kick up some “Gravel & Gold” on his upcoming tour, a 28-city trek set to launch in June, he announced on Friday (March 3).
Bentley will welcome Jordan Davis as direct support, with additional openers on shows throughout the tour: Elle King, Tracy Lawrence, Tyler Braden, Caylee Hammack, Hot Country Knights, Kameron Marlowe, The Cadillac Three, The Red Clay Strays, Molly Tuttle & Golden Highway, Shane Smith & the Saints, Caitlyn Smith and Hailey Whitters.

“I’ve been waiting as patiently as possible for the time when we could tell our fans about this tour and I’m happy the moment has arrived,” Bentley said via a press release. “With new music, a whole new set and vibe along with incredible musicians and singers to share the stage with.…I can honestly say I think this will be our best tour ever. Jordan Davis and I have been talking about touring for a long time and he’s just killing. Not to mention the list of artists that we will be touring with is so exciting for me as a fan of all their music. I will be side stage every night taking it all in alongside the fans on this GRAVEL & GOLD TOUR.”
The tour takes its name from Bentley’s 10th studio album Gravel & Gold, which released Feb 24. Bentley previously told Billboard of the project, “I really wanted to make an album that has great country songwriting that packs a whole lot of emotion, feeling and story into three minutes.”
Fanclub presale tickets will go on sale for the tour beginning March 7 at 10 a.m., while Citi cardmembers will have access to presale tickets starting March 8 at 10 a.m. local time through Citi Entertainment. General public ticket sales will begin March 10 at 10 a.m. local time on dierks.com.

“This has been something we’ve been aiming to do for so long and we work so hard and we just kind of had one of those freak accidents that nobody saw coming,” lead singer Tom DeLonge shared in an Instagram video on Wednesday (March 1). “Travis needs to go in and have surgery on his finger and we have to get that well. We have to get that strong before we can do anything else. This is just so sad.
“These were the biggest shows we ever played,” DeLonge continued. “These are some of the most important places in the world for for a band this is like the pinnacle of our career was coming down and playing for you guys. So I really want you all to know, we are devastated and we plan to come back.”
Barker first revealed that his finger was injured on Feb. 8 via Twitter, telling fans, “I was playing the drums at rehearsals yesterday and I smashed my finger so hard I dislocated it and tore the ligaments.” Less than two weeks later, on Feb. 20, Barker shared an Instagram Story of his swollen and bruised knuckle, stating that he injured his finger “again.” By Feb. 27, Barker informed fans that the dual injury would require surgery the following day (Feb. 28).
Blink-182’s world tour marks the first the band has with original members Barker, Mark Hoppus and DeLonge since 2014. The Latin American leg of the tour, originally scheduled to kick off March 11 in Tijuana, Mexico, additionally featured stops in Buenos Aires, São Paulo, Bogotà, Lima and more.

Red Moon in Venus will be released via Geffen Records on March 3, and is currently available to pre-order and pre-save on streaming services. Speaking on the record’s overarching theme, Uchis explained that “love is the message.” “Red Moon In Venus is a timeless, burning expression of desire, heartbreak, faith, and honesty, reflecting the divine femininity of the moon and Venus,” the singer shared in a press release. “The moon and Venus work together to make key aspects of love and domestic life work well. This body of work represents all levels of love — releasing people with love, drawing love into your life and self-love. It’s believed by many astrologers that the blood moon can send your emotions into a spin, and that’s what I felt represented this body of work best.”
The Red Moon in Venus tour will start on April 25 in Austin with a stop at the Moody Amphitheater in Waterloo Park.

For the first time in his nearly 40-year career, the Guatemalan singer-songwriter will perform for his fans in San Diego, San Francisco, Portland, Austin, Kansas, Minneapolis and Ontario, as well as perform at the celebrated Madison Square Garden in New York.
“Although the term ‘legendary’ is often overused in our business, it is definitely appropriate when describing Ricardo Arjona,” Nelson Albareda, CEO and founder of Loud and Live, previously said in a statement when the 2022 Blanco y Negro tour dates were announced. “From his iconic lyrics to his distinctive voice, this true Renaissance man has transcended the borders of his native Guatemala to become a universal music icon.”
Albareda in a new statement on Wednesday said he is “deeply proud to reunite [Arjona] with his fans” on the Volver Tour.
The Blanco y Negro Tour and its new extended dates follow Arjona’s Hecho a la Antigua livestream concert that was filmed during the pandemic from the historic city of Antigua in his native Guatemala, with more than 30 musicians and more than 5,000 candles.
Tickets for the Blanco y Negro: Volver Tour 2023 go on sale for the general public at 10 a.m. local time on Jan. 20. For more information, visit www.ricardoarjona.com.
It’s officially 2023, and you know what they say: new year, new tour.
This year, a wave of Latin artists across different genres will hit the road, including urban hitmakers like Anuel AA with his rescheduled Las Leyendas Nunca Mueren Tour; Eladio Carrión with The Sauce Tour; and Rauw Alejandro with his Saturno World Tour, where he will be joined by renowned dance crew Jabbawockeez.
Latin pop music is also well-represented with promising U.S. tours by Bacilos (Back in the USA ’23), Ha*Ash (Mi Salida Contigo), Kenia OS (The K23), and power couples Greeicy and Mike Bahía (Amantes: Kai) and Kim Loaiza and JD Pantoja (Bye Bye), to name a few.
Meanwhile, some Regional Mexican acts that unveiled their 2023 treks are Los Temerarios and Ivan Cornejo who’s “super excited to go on my first tour” and “wanted intimate venues, because now more than ever, the connection to the fans is super important.” (See the complete 2023 Latin Tours list here.)
Last year, Billboard asked readers to vote for the best tour of 2022, with fans ultimately crowning Bad Bunny’s World’s Hottest Tour with more than 27 percent of the votes, followed by Karol G’s $trip Love Tour with 19 percent. The former closed out the year with a record-breaking $435 million in tour grosses that combine more than 80 concerts from two separate treks (El Último Tour del Mundo and The World’s Hottest Tour). The latter became the highest-grossing U.S. tour by a female Latin act, earning $69.9 million and selling 410,000 tickets across 33 shows in North America.
Now, with new acts hitting the road in 2023, who are you excited to see in concert? Vote below!
