The B-52s Announce 40th Anniversary World Tour

Now with over 20 million albums sold into their career, there can be no doubt as to why The B-52s remain one of rock music’s most beloved and enduring bands. As the B-52s continue to celebrate their 40th Anniversary, the band announced a world-wide tour today that is expected to cover more than 10 countries and will include a headlining North American summer tour. The 40+ city tour will kick off May 4 in West Palm Beach, FL at Sunfest and finishes in New York City on September 24 at Summer Stage in Central Park. Tickets for the tour are on sale on April 12 at 10am local time. Click HERE to purchase. Full tour dates below with more expected to be added in the future. OMD and BERLIN will support on select North American dates.

In 2018, the B-52s began their 40th anniversary celebration in style, co-headlining a massively successful American tour with Culture Club and Thompson Twins, taking over venues across the country. Continuing the festivities, Da Capo Press/Hachette Books has announced plans to publish the first-ever official history of the band in 2020. Meanwhile, the B-52s have joined forces with Executive Producer Fred Armisen and Director Craig Johnson [Skelton Twins, Wilson, Alex Strangelove] to develop an authorized documentary film of the group.

“Who knew that when we played our first house dance party in Athens, Georgia in 1976 that we would be still be rocking the house in 2019!” says vocalist Kate Pierson. Adds fellow vocalist Cindy Wilson, “Visiting over 10 countries to perform for our fans around the globe makes us so incredibly happy. Let’s rock!” Front man Fred Schneider gives fair warning, “Woo-hoo! Europe and then all over North America! Dust off those go-go boots and shine your dancing shoes because the B-52s are coming!”

You don’t need to look too hard to see or hear the multi-dimensional influence of the B-52s. As they take their party-music revolution into the 21st century, the B-52s show no signs of slowing down, serving up their own unique blend of music and showmanship to millions of fans around the world.

Noah Kahan Announces Debut Album Busyhead and Headlining Tour This Fall

Noah Kahan announces his highly anticipated debut album, Busyhead, will be released this summer on June 14th. In celebration of the release, Noah will be heading out on The Busyhead Tour across North America this fall, returning to headline larger venues coming off of a 2018 sold out tour. The tour kicks off at Granada Theater in Dallas on September 19th and includes dates in New York, Los Angeles, Boston, Chicago, Nashville, San Francisco and more. See the full list of dates below. Album pre-order and ticket on-sale will be available this Friday, April 12th at 10AM local time at www.noahkahan.com/.

Noah recently released the video for “Mess,” the lead single off Busyhead. Watch it HERE! The song already has over 2 million Spotify streams to date, received critical praise from Billboard, NYLON, Idolator, Popdust, EARMILK, Baeble, Ones To Watch and more, and continues to climb the Triple A Radio Chart. Fresh off the road with James Bay on his North American tour and Leon Bridges on his Australian tour, Noah is currently touring with Dean Lewis in Europe and the U.K. See the list of upcoming dates below.

In two short years, music quite literally carried 22-year-old singer, songwriter and artist Noah Kahan around the world—a long way from his native Strafford, VT (pop. 1,045) and the 133-acre tree farm where he resides. On the trip, the alternative troubadour notched an international hit in the form of “Hurt Somebody,” which racked up over 200 million global streams to date and went triple platinum in Australia and gold in Canada, Sweden, Norway, Netherlands, Switzerland and New Zealand. The song also peaked at #1 on the Top 40 radio charts in Australia for three weeks, making it the third most played song on the Australian airwaves in all of 2018 where Noah has become one of the most buzzworthy new acts. Meanwhile, his singles “Young Blood” and “False Confidence” also racked up millions of streams, as he sold out headline tours in North America, Europe, and the U.K. and hit the road with artists like George Ezra and Leon Bridges. Not to mention, he has garnered critical acclaim from Billboard, Stereogum, NYLON, Clash, Idolator, and more. In the midst of this whirlwind, Noah assembled his upcoming full-length debut album, Busyhead. The first single “Mess” illuminates his marked growth as a songwriter and storyteller by way of its biting lyrics and undeniable sing-a-long, underscoring a heartwarming and often hilarious portrait of hometown longing. Busyhead is set for release on June 14th.

YouTube Delivers Coachella 2019 to Millions of Global Music Fans with Official Two-Weekend Live Stream

For the ninth year in a row, YouTube continues to take the magic of Coachella beyond the Indio desert and into the homes and phones of millions of people around the world with the exclusive two-weekend live stream of Coachella 2019. YouTube is providing a global stage for artists and fans to connect with live stream performances from headliners to some of the biggest artists on the rise including Childish Gambino, Ariana Grande, Tame Impala, Kacey Musgraves, Billie Eilish, BLACKPINK, Juice WRLD, Kid Cudi, Wiz Khalifa, Gryffin, Maggie Rogers, Chvrches Little Zimz, Cola Boyy and many more.

YouTube Music is turning it up a notch at Coachella 2019, making sure music fans — no matter where they are — can enjoy the world’s preeminent music festival in convenient and immersive new ways.

YouTube’s Weekend 1 live stream, presented by T-Mobile in the US, and Garnier and Coca-Cola in Canada, will give music fans around the world the best seats in the desert for groundbreaking performances from their favorite artists when they tune into Coachella’s YouTube Channel on any screen (desktop, mobile and living room) and within the YouTube Music app. In addition, fans will get treated to a one-time premiere of the new Childish Gambino film, “Guava Island,” featuring Rihanna.

Fans tuning in will have their choice of three live stream feeds with different artists performing simultaneously. Programming starts at 4pm PT on Friday, April 12 and runs through the weekend. To ensure you don’t miss your favorite performance, personalized viewing schedules can be created and live stream channels will automatically change to artists selected by fans.

Highlights from the weekend will be available through a video-on-demand hub, with co-hosts Nadeska Alexis, Valerie Lee, and special guests to bring fans interviews with artists and creators from throughout the festival.

For the first time ever, YouTube Music and Coachella will keep the cameras rolling on weekend 2, with a carefully curated live stream sponsored by Pantene & CALVIN KLEIN in the US, and Garnier and Coca-Cola in Canada. Coachella Curated, hosted by Jason Bentley from KCRW, will take a deep dive into the festival experience and deliver fans a slate of original content — encore and live performances, artist commentary, mini-docs, animated adventures and more — to accompany the best bits of live music and in-studio interviews with Coachella performers.

Coachella Curated sets its sights on artists from across the line-up and captures them onsite and off, spanning the globe to share stories from the homes of headliner performers, festival favorites and newly discovered talent. These traveling tales—filmed on six continents with Coachella’s Paul Tollett—offer a unique look at the multinational energy that comes together on the Empire Polo Grounds before beaming back out via YouTube.

Confirmed artists appearing in the Coachella Curated live stream display the diversity of talent taking the stage in Indio. Weekend 2 programming and live stream schedule will be available soon.

The YouTube Music app (iOS, Android) will be home to this year’s most complete Coachella music experience with the launch of live streaming. Whether you’re at home on the couch or at the pool in Indio, you can enjoy playlists based on this year’s lineup such as The Lineup, Hip-Hop, Latin, watch or listen in audio-only mode to the live stream both weekends, and check out performance clips after the festival is over.

YouTube will make history with a first-ever broadcast of a festival live stream on New York City’s iconic Times Square big screen, giving East Coast music fans a chance to gather together and share in the Coachella experience. YouTube will stream BLACKPINK’s highly anticipated performance on The Beast screen in Times Square at 11:50pmET on Friday April 12, 2019.

2019 will go down as Miquela‘s first-ever appearance at Coachella and first time hosting on video! The nineteen-year-old robot is teaming up with YouTube Music to host artist interviews with 2019 Coachella performers including J Balvin, King Princess, and more.

Chase Atlantic Announce 2019 “Phases” Tour

Chase Atlantic Announce 2019 “Phases” Tour

Today, Chase Atlantic – comprised of Mitchel Cave, Clinton Cave and Christian Anthony – announce their 2019 Phases Tour presented by Ones to Watch & The Noise and produced by Live Nation. The tour will feature special guest Lauren Sanderson and include over 25+ dates across North America, kicking off on June 14 in Philadelphia, PA before concluding in Silver Spring, MD on July 25. See below for the full tour itinerary.

The tour is in support of the band’s upcoming sophomore album slated for this summer on BMG Records. The alt-pop trio are currently riding high on a wave of their own creation with the recent release of their much-anticipated third EP, DON’T TRY THIS, which finds Chase Atlantic operating at the height of their powers, with six songs that showcase the wide-ranging breadth of their abilities to reveal a darker side of their existence. “It all comes from a real place and it’s a good reflection of this point in our lives,” Mitchel says. “A lot of it is from out on the road and about our real-life experiences. We’re not trying to flex too hard on anyone, or say we’re doing any better than you are. Music is about enjoyment— we’re trying to make the best music we can and be as real as possible.”

Chase Atlantic are taking a similar approach to their new LP, fueled by their obsession with creation, songwriting, and beat-making and refusing to conform to any one sound. And as their spotlight only continues to grow, they understand that everything they need to get by is already in their possession. 2019 looks to be their biggest year yet.

Mitchel Cave and his older brother Clinton formed Chase Atlantic with their best friend, Christian Anthony, in 2014. Classically trained as musicians and singers, the brothers began their obsession with programming and production as teenagers. Spending days locked away in their bedrooms working on beats, they began combining sounds from their favorite genres—from pop to electro to rock and R&B—fusing together an experimental sound that retained catchiness and hooks. Adding live instrumentation and vocals to the mix, the trio recognized their work’s undeniable groove and edge, an eclectic and unique hybrid of dark, rhythmic, and emotional sound—not to mention their shared bond and ability to make singular decisions as a hive mind.

They began releasing their music online and quickly developed a following in their home country, with fans flocking to their infectious live shows and embracing the confident honesty in their storytelling. The viral single “Friends” caught the ears of Good Charlotte’s Joel and Benji Madden, who signed Chase Atlantic to their esteemed LA-based music company, MDDN, in 2016. They released a pair of EPs and a self-titled debut LP in 2017, leading to an endless string of sold-out headline shows and tours around the world, including festival slots at Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo, Firefly, Reading & Leeds, and Vans Warped Tour. Despite all the rapid-fire success, the band work hard to maintain and increase their high-level work ethic, sticking to their guns when it comes to their method of making music and refusing to compromise any of their creativity, control, or—most importantly—their joy.

The Raconteurs Announce North American Tour For “Help Us Stranger” Album

Hot on the heels of announcing their new album HELP US STRANGER, out June 21 via Third Man Records, The Raconteurs – Jack White, Brendan Benson, Jack Lawrence, and Patrick Keeler – have announced an extensive run of North American headline tour dates. These new dates, spanning from July to October, include previously-announced US festival appearances at Woodstock 50 and Railbird. The band will kick off their world tour with their first trip to Australia and New Zealand later this month, as well as stops in Japan, Europe, and the United Kingdom before returning to the US for their North American tour.

Tickets to the North American headline dates go on sale to the general public on Friday, April 12 at 10am local time.

Additionally, every online ticket purchased in North America for the new headline shows will include a physical copy of HELP US STRANGER on CD. Fans will also have the option to upgrade their CD to the standard black vinyl LP.

HELP US STRANGER is the Gramy Award-winning rock band’s third studio LP and first new album in more than a decade. Out on Friday, June 21, HELP US STRANGER sees the mighty combo reassembled, stronger and perhaps even more vital than ever before as they continue to push rock ‘n’ roll forward into its future, bonding prodigious riffs, blues power, sinewy psychedelia, Detroit funk, and Nashville soul via Benson and White’s uncompromising songcraft and the band’s steadfast musical muscle. With HELP US STRANGER, The Raconteurs have returned right when they are needed most, unified and invigorated with boundless ambition, infinite energy and a collectivist spirit operating at the peak of its considerable powers, once again creating a sound and fury only possible when all four of its members come together.

Walmart Canada’s ‘Fight Hunger. Spark Change.’ campaign serves up more than 15 million meals, exceeding its goal by 2 million meals

Walmart Canada’s third annual ‘Fight Hunger. Spark Change.’ national campaign secured more than 15 million meals for Canadians, surpassing its goal of 13 million meals. The annual program calls on Canadians to join Walmart in the fight against hunger, a problem faced in communities, coast-to-coast.

From February 14 to March 13, Walmart and select suppliers partnered to raise funds to support Canadian families in need via Food Banks Canada and the network of more than 550 food banks working to feed families each day.

Walmart is committed to help address the issue of food insecurity in Canada. The ‘Fight Hunger. Spark Change.’ campaign works in concert with Food Banks Canada and the food banking network to provide meals to those in need, in addition to helping reduce food waste. Each store is paired with a local food bank to maximize food donations.

Walmart Canada has raised and donated more than $15 million since 2011 to Food Banks Canada and the food banking network and the Walmart Foundation has invested nearly $6 million to build capacity among Food Banks Canada affiliated food banks. That results in more trucks, refrigerators and people to get food from all sources to those who need it most.

10th annual SiriusXM Top Comic invites alumni to return for a 2nd chance at Canada’s biggest comedy prize

SiriusXM Canada, the country’s leading audio entertainment company, announced the return of Canada’s biggest comedy competition SiriusXM’s Top Comic. 2019 is a milestone year for the competition as Top Comic celebrates a decade of hilarity featuring the best stand-up comics from coast-to-coast. To mark the 10^thanniversary, SiriusXM is opening up the competition to past winners for the first time, giving them the chance to win for a second time, and raising the bar.

“Over the past decade, we’ve had a score of top notch talent from across the country go mic-to-mic for a chance at the Top Comic title, but the winners have never competed against each other on the Top Comic stage,” said Ben Miner, Canadian comic and SiriusXM host. “The stakes are higher than ever as reigning champs now have the chance return to defend their title while Top Comic hopefuls vie to dethrone Top Comic veterans and prove they are Canada’s best comedian.”

Starting today at 10 a.m. ET, Canadian comics can register at siriusxm.ca/topcomic where they will be able to submit a video of their best material. The deadline to register is April 18.

Since its inception, the competition has grown exponentially from a $2,000 prize to the biggest comedy prize in Canada. The winner will take home $25,000 cash and receive global exposure with a guaranteed spot to perform at JFL Sydney in Australia, in addition to spots at JFL42 (Toronto), JFL NorthWest (Vancouver), Just For Laughs Montreal and inclusion in a JFL TV taping airing on a Bell property network. Two runners-up will also receive cash prizes of $2,500each.

Top Comic is part of SiriusXM Canada’s ongoing initiatives to provide a platform for Canadian talent. In 2018, Chanty Marostica took home the grand prize, with Vancouver’s Sophie Buddle and Scarborough’s Nick Reynoldson claiming the runners-up prizes. Following the win, Chanty’s debut comedy album, The Chanty Show was nominated for the JUNO Award for Comedy Album of the Year.

SiriusXM will select the 60 best comedians and provide them with travel grants to audition in front of a live audience and a panel of industry judges, either in Vancouver at Yuk Yuks (May 13 – 15) or Toronto at Absolute Comedy (June 10 – 11) and Yuk Yuks (June 12).
