Having successfully sold out events in previous years in London, Berlin, Boston and Anaheim, California – the four-day festival will take place at the brand new Theatre at the Great Canadian Casino Resort Toronto. Promoted by Live Nation, the multi-stage event will occupy many rooms of the new venue providing a full programme of live music, panels, workshops and more.

On Saturday 21st September the band will play a punk rock set featuring tracks from the new as-yet unreleased and highly anticipated album. Then, for the last night on Sunday 22nd September a Greatest Hits Set will close the festivities.
Running concurrently across the weekend will be the second stage named as the Nick Alexander Stage. Named after the merchandise manager and long-time friend of Frank’s, who was tragically killed in the Paris, Bataclan attack in 2015 – the stage plays host to some of the best emerging acts – personally selected by Frank. The full line-up of acts for the two stages will be announced in due course.
Augmenting the evening live performances will be a full programme of additional activities under the banner of ‘Last Minutes’. These include pop-ups, open mic sessions and the Xtra Mile Recordings daytime showcase as well as panels, masterclasses and workshops where leading industry insiders, musicians, experts and music professionals offer insight and advice to audiences. More information to come.
Speaking about Lost Evenings VII, Frank says, “It’s my favourite time of year again, seems to keep coming around quicker. After a triumphant time in Anaheim this year, I’m pleased and proud to announce that the seventh instalment of my very own Lost Evenings festival will be taking place in Toronto in September 2024. The festival keeps growing, and Toronto is one of my favourite cities in the world, so it’s a perfect match. See you all in the Great White North.”

The success of Frank Turner’s Lost Evenings Festival has been built steadily since 2017 as the festival continues to cement its reputation as an event with community and camaraderie at its core. The first two years were held at London’s Roundhouse and surrounding Camden venues, before its international debut at Boston’s House Of Blues in 2019. 2020’s event was due to take place in Berlin but was unfortunately cancelled due to the pandemic. It returned in 2021 to the Roundhouse in London, and finally made it to Berlin Columbiahalle the year after.
All events sold out in advance, with this year’s festival at House Of Blues, Anaheim, California selling out 9 months up front. Crowds packed out all the daytime satellite events, each stage from start to finish and of course coming together each evening to share and rejoice in 4 very different performances from Frank.
Lost Evenings won the AIM Best Independent Festival award in 2017.

After such an exciting year, Preston is more than ready for this return to Toronto, saying of the upcoming show, “Can’t wait to be playing again in Toronto! This city is my second home and I’ve missed playing here. So much has happened since I my last show here. I can’t wait to be back.”

In the early 2000s, Ciara catapulted into the music scene, making waves with infectious hits like Goodies and 1, 2 Step. More than two decades later, the Princess of Crunk’s contributions to the R&B genre have made her an airwave staple, leading to her being featured on SiriusXM’s The Flow channel alongside fellow artists like John Legend, Khalid, Ne-Yo, Usher, and more, among other streaming and radio channels.
Today, we’ll dive deeper into her recent accomplishments, taking a look at her sustained presence in the music industry as well as how she’s taken the fashion world by storm.
Career beginnings
Before the release of her chart-topping debut album Goodies in 2004, the R&B sensation had already been working behind the scenes in the music industry, writing hits like Got Me Waiting for American Idol winner Fantasia. After studio executives saw her potential, her career quickly took off, with her dynamic stage presence and sultry vocals establishing her as a rising star. Over the years, Ciara evolved not only as a singer-songwriter but also as a style icon, captivating audiences with her fashion-forward choices.
Taking on the fashion sphere
As her musical career flourished, Ciara proved her mettle as a multi-hyphenate artist, becoming a brand ambassador for Revlon and signing modeling contracts with Wilhelmina Models and later, IMG Models. This shift came as no surprise to fans, especially considering her penchant for appearing on the red carpet rocking high-fashion designer wear from the likes of Balmain, Julien Macdonald, Alexander Vauthier, and Christopher Kane.
Even when she’s not splashed across the pages of glossy magazines or strutting down red carpets, Ciara’s versatility and incredible fashion taste cannot be ignored. In 2023, the chart-topper made headlines when she was spotted donning a pair of Oakley sunglasses during a trip to Japan. A closer look at an Instagram post made by her husband reveals that Ciara hopped on the athletic-wear bandwagon, combining the sporty Oakley BXTR sunglasses with a motorcyclist-inspired outfit and lace-up boxer-style shoes.
Recently, the Grammy Award-winning singer has also been tapped by fashion brand Bebe for the launch of a capsule collection. Unlike many of the collabs we see today, Ciara will be fully involved in the campaign, stepping into the role of creative director as well as being the face of the collection. Ultimately, this venture showcases her flair for design, cementing her status as a multifaceted artist.
Newest music release and what else we can expect from Ciara
In August 2023, Ciara released CiCi her first EP, promoting it with the release of two singles Forever featuring Lil Baby and How We Roll featuring Chris Brown. The latter was featured in a TikTok video where a pregnant Ciara can be seen dancing with her best friend, La La Anthony.
In an interview with Apple Music explaining the album’s title, the singer remarked, “It’s not an alter ego. It’s me, but when I get a little more gritty, and I put that stank in that thang, turn up,” she said. “And there’s just something about when they start doing that, it’s an attitude and an energy that comes out of me. And it’s me, but it’s like me to the 10th power. But she’s fearless.”
Maybe it’s this fearlessness, too, that helped her land the role of Nettie in the movie musical The Color Purple, which earned an impressive $25 million at the box office after two days of release.
Accolades, including multiple Grammy nominations and BET Awards, have rightly celebrated Ciara’s enduring impact and talent within the entertainment industry. Her journey from R&B sensation to a multi-talented personality, model, and entrepreneur, alongside her role as a devoted mother of four exemplifies her dynamic skills and resilience that have made her the icon we know today.
A stirring defense of Sinéad O’Connor’s music and activism, and an indictment of the culture that cancelled her.
In 1990, Sinéad O’Connor’s video for “Nothing Compares 2 U” turned her into a superstar. Two years later, an appearance on Saturday Night Live turned her into a scandal. For many people—including, for years, the author—what they knew of O’Connor stopped there. Allyson McCabe believes it’s time to reassess our old judgments about Sinéad O’Connor and to expose the machinery that built her up and knocked her down.
Addressing triumph and struggle, sound and story, Why Sinéad O’Connor Matters argues that its subject has been repeatedly manipulated and misunderstood by a culture that is often hostile to women who speak their minds (in O’Connor’s case, by shaving her head, championing rappers, and tearing up a picture of the pope on live television). McCabe details O’Connor’s childhood abuse, her initial success, and the backlash against her radical politics without shying away from the difficult issues her career raises. She compares O’Connor to Madonna, another superstar who challenged the Catholic Church, and Prince, who wrote her biggest hit and allegedly assaulted her. A journalist herself, McCabe exposes how the media distorts not only how we see O’Connor but how we see ourselves, and she weighs the risks of telling a story that hits close to home.
In an era when popular understanding of mental health has improved and the public eagerly celebrates feminist struggles of the past, it can be easy to forget how O’Connor suffered for being herself. This is the book her admirers and defenders have been waiting for.
CS2 roulette gambling has been growing in popularity ever since the release of CS2. This type of game lets people grow their skin collection while only risking spare or unimportant skins. However, it can be a little dangerous to start exploring CS2 roulette sites when you haven’t done your research. Before you dip your toes in the CS2 based roulette games, let’s go over how CS roulette works and how you can choose the best platforms for playing this game.
What are CS2 roulette
CS2 roulette is essentially a fun and thrilling twist on traditional roulette, tailored for fans of Counter-Strike 2. In this online gambling game, players use their CS2 skins as chips, where they can bet on classic colours like Red and Black. Some roulette sites also have spicy options for colours like Green for higher payouts, although it’s relatively rarer. CS2 roulette gambling brings a piece of the CS2 world into a casino setting, where strategy, luck, and the cool skins you’ve gathered all come into play. At the end of the day, this game offers a unique way to enjoy your CS2 collection.
How CS2 Roulette Work?
Playing CS2 roulette is quite straightforward and combines elements of traditional roulette with the unique twist of using CS2 skins. To start, you need to sign up on a CS2 roulette site and deposit your skins into your online gaming account. These skins effectively become your betting currency. The game revolves around a roulette wheel with colours – typically Red and Black- although some platforms will also have other variants. You place your bets on one of these colours. If the wheel stops on your chosen colour, you win! Red and Black will usually double your stake, whereas rarer colours offer a significantly higher payout. In the end, if you win, you can withdraw your payouts in the form of CS2 skins
