Platinum Country Hitmaker Hunter Hayes Extends “The Evergreen Tour” West and Midwest

Hunter Hayes has added 12 new dates to “The Evergreen Tour,” pushing the run through the Midwest and West Coast this summer and fall. The platinum-selling Louisiana-born singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist opens the extended leg July 31 at TJ’s Corral in Minden, Nevada and wraps October 3 at Barnato in Omaha, Nebraska.

The new dates hit San Francisco, San Diego, Los Angeles, Anaheim, Salt Lake City, Denver, Colorado Springs, Boise, and two Montana stops, a routing that fills out a tour already building momentum from its spring run.

Hayes carries serious catalog into these rooms. More than 3 billion global on-demand streams, 7 singles certified Gold, and a 10x Platinum certification speak to a fanbase that has followed him from arena support slots with Taylor Swift and Carrie Underwood through to his own sold-out headline runs across the US, Canada, Europe, and Asia.

The new dates also follow a busy CMA Fest week, with Hayes performing at Billboard Country Live on June 4 and hosting Greenhouse events on June 5 and 6.

General on-sale begins May 29 at 10 AM local time.

6LACK Celebrates a Decade of Music With a Global Tour and New Album ‘Love Is The New Gangsta’

Ten years in, 6LACK has a new album out and a global tour to match. The multi-platinum, 5x Grammy-nominated Atlanta artist released ‘Love Is The New Gangsta’ last week to critical praise from Rolling Stone, FADER, Spin, and the Associated Press, and now he’s taking the full catalog on the road for the “10 Years of 6LACK Tour.”

The Live Nation-produced run spans Europe, the UK, and North America, opening September 8 in Oslo at Sentrum Scene and closing December 11 at The Fillmore Minneapolis. It’s a sprawling, 44-date commitment that covers Oslo, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Berlin, Paris, London, Dublin, and Manchester before crossing into North America for stops in Portland, Los Angeles, Denver, Dallas, Atlanta, New Orleans, Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago, Toronto, Ottawa, and Brooklyn.

‘Love Is The New Gangsta’ is built around self-exploration, vulnerability, and radical honesty, with 6LACK examining love, identity, fatherhood, and growth across the record. Collaborators include Young Thug, 2 Chainz, Leon Thomas, and AZ Chike, a lineup that speaks to the breadth of his creative reach.

The tour draws on a decade of catalog, from ‘FREE 6LACK’ and ‘East Atlanta Love Letter’ through ‘Since I Have A Lover’ and the new album. Johnny Venus supports across Europe and the UK, with Eem Triplin joining for the North American leg.

Artist presales are live now. General on-sale begins Friday, May 29 at 12 PM local time at 6lack.com/tour VIP packages are available.

Mexican Hitmaker Calle 24 Launches His First-Ever US Tour This Summer

Calle 24 has nearly 20 million monthly listeners on Spotify, a billion-streaming collab with Chino Pacas and Fuerza Regida, and now he’s bringing it all to the US for the first time. The 23-year-old singer from Chihuahua launches the Live Nation-promoted “Eterno Tour” on July 30 at San Jose Civic, with 15 dates running through September 18 in Chicago.

The run covers California, Arizona, Texas, Colorado, the Carolinas, Georgia, and Florida before closing out in the Midwest. Stops include The Wiltern in Los Angeles, Fillmore Auditorium in Denver, the Tabernacle in Atlanta, and 713 Music Hall in Houston.

Calle 24 broke into the Mexican music scene in 2021 with ‘Mi Nueva Familia’ and built fast. His third album, ‘ONDEADO$,’ produced “QUE ONDA” alongside Chino Pacas and Fuerza Regida, a track that crossed 1 billion streams on Spotify. He’s toured with both acts and performed at Coca-Cola Flow Fest in Mexico City, one of Latin urban music’s premier festival stages.

The US debut is a genuine moment, a young artist with serious streaming numbers and a fanbase that’s been waiting for this run.

Local presales begin May 28 at 10 AM local time. General on-sale follows May 29 at 10 AM local time at LiveNation.com.

The Chicks Mark 20 Years of ‘Taking The Long Way’ With an Intimate US Theatre Tour

The Chicks Mark 20 Years of ‘Taking The Long Way’ With an Intimate US Theatre Tour

Twenty years ago, The Chicks released an album that the industry tried to bury, and it won Album of the Year at the Grammys. That’s the story ‘Taking The Long Way’ tells, and this fall, the 13-time Grammy-winning trio brings it back to the stage for a 16-date US theatre run.

The “Taking The Long Way 20th Anniversary Tour” opens September 30 at Detroit’s Fox Theatre and moves through Chicago, Washington DC, New York, Nashville, San Antonio, Austin, Seattle, San Francisco, and Hollywood. The venues are deliberately intimate, a sharp contrast to the album’s monumental cultural footprint.

‘Taking The Long Way’ topped the Billboard 200 and earned The Chicks 5 Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year, Record of the Year, and Song of the Year. It arrived in the wake of widespread radio bans, boycotts, and CD-smashing rallies that followed Natalie Maines’ public criticism of then-President George W. Bush. The Chicks, then known as The Dixie Chicks, responded with one of the most defiant and celebrated records in country music history.

The name change to The Chicks came in 2020, shedding the outdated original moniker while carrying the full weight of that legacy forward.

This tour adds to an already active year. The group has California casino dates in June, opening slots on Tim McGraw’s stadium run in July, and an appearance at Boots And Hearts Country Music Festival in Ontario, Canada.

Artist presale begins Wednesday, June 3 at 10 AM local time. General on-sale follows Thursday, June 4. The tour is promoted by Live Nation.

“Taking The Long Way 20th Anniversary Tour” Dates:

Wed Sep 30 – Detroit, MI – Fox Theatre

Sat Oct 3 – Chicago, IL – The Auditorium

Sun Oct 4 – Chicago, IL – The Auditorium

Tue Oct 6 – Washington, DC – The Anthem

KATSEYE Sell Out 31 Arena Shows in 48 Hours and Drop New EP ‘Wild’ This August

KATSEYE Sell Out 31 Arena Shows in 48 Hours and Drop New EP ‘Wild’ This August

31 arena shows. All sold out. Less than 48 hours. KATSEYE’s “The WildWorld Arena Tour” didn’t just move fast, it moved at a scale that few pop acts at any stage of their career can match.

All 27 originally announced dates across the UK, Europe, and North America sold out immediately, triggering second shows in London, New York, Los Angeles, and Mexico City. Those sold out too. The tour launches September 1 at Dublin’s 3Arena, with two-night stands at The O2, UBS Arena in Belmont Park, Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, and Palacio de los Deportes in Mexico City. Live Nation produces the run.

The timing aligns with ‘Wild,’ KATSEYE’s third EP via HYBE x Geffen Records, dropping August 14, the same day the group performs on the Citi Concert Series on TODAY. The EP follows the Grammy-nominated ‘Beautiful Chaos,’ which debuted in the top five of the Billboard 200.

Fresh momentum is coming from every direction. At the American Music Awards, KATSEYE swept all 3 of their nominated categories: New Artist of the Year, Breakthrough Pop Artist, and Best Music Video for “Gnarly.” They also performed new single “PINKY UP” at the ceremony, a track that got its live debut at Coachella and captures exactly the confident, high-energy pop the group has made their signature.

Formed through HYBE and Geffen Records’ Dream Academy and Netflix’s Pop Star Academy, KATSEYE draws members from across the US, Europe, Asia, and beyond. In 2025, the group was crowned TikTok’s Global Artist of the Year and earned Grammy nominations for Best New Artist and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for “Gabriela.”

Before the arena run begins, KATSEYE perform at Governors Ball in New York City on June 5, followed by Hinterland Music Festival on July 30 and 88rising’s Head In The Clouds Festival on August 8 in Pasadena.

Hard Rock Veterans Saliva Drop “Sadistic Love” and Announce Summer Tour Dates

Hard Rock Veterans Saliva Drop “Sadistic Love” and Announce Summer Tour Dates

Saliva have released “Sadistic Love,” the fourth single from their upcoming album ‘Breaking Through,’ due August 14 via Judge & Jury Records. The track arrives with an official music video and a run of summer tour dates.

“Sadistic Love” is exactly what the title suggests: heavy, moody, and built around a mid-tempo groove that explodes into a hook-driven chorus. Bobby Amaru’s aggressive melodic vocals ride a wall of guitar as the song digs into the familiar tension of a relationship that destroys and pulls back in equal measure. It sounds like vintage Saliva, and that’s a very good thing.

Amaru puts it plainly: “Some relationships become a battlefield. You fight, you break, you swear it’s over, and then somehow you’re right back in the middle of it again.” The song captures that cycle with real grit, and the production backs it up.

Saliva built their name on anthems like “Click Click Boom” and the Grammy-nominated “Your Disease.” Their 2001 major-label debut ‘Every Six Seconds’ went double-platinum, and ‘Back Into Your System’ followed with hits including “Always” and “Rest In Pieces.” Since 2011, Amaru has led the band through a sustained creative run, with ‘Revelation: Retold’ arriving in 2025 via Judge & Jury Records.

The band also carries the memory of founding guitarist Wayne Swinny, who passed in 2023. His influence remains central to their sound and their shows.

Fresh off appearances at Welcome to Rockville and Sonic Temple Art & Music Festival, Saliva head back out this summer with dates across the US ahead of ‘Breaking Through”s August 14 release.

Saliva 2026 Tour Dates:

Sat Jun 6 – Cape Girardeau, MO – Arena Park

Tue Jun 9 – Portland, OR – Hawthorne Theatre

Wed Jun 10 – Seattle, WA – El Corazon

Thu Jun 11 – Bellingham, WA – Wild Buffalo House of Music

Sat Jun 13 – Sidney, MT – Richland County Fair & Rodeo

Sun Aug 9 – Oshkosh, WI – Hard Drive 2026

Reggaetón Star Arcángel Marks 20 Years With the “La 8va Maravilla World Tour”

Twenty years in reggaetón and Latin trap is a legacy worth celebrating on a grand scale.

This run hits Miami, Atlanta, Charlotte, Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago, Houston, Dallas, Denver, Los Angeles, and San Jose before closing out in Puerto Rico. Arcángel is part of Noah Assad’s Rimas Entertainment roster alongside Bad Bunny, and is managed by Omar Rivera.

Operation Mincemeat Brings Its Tony and Olivier-Winning Spy Musical to Toronto This Fall

Operation Mincemeat Brings Its Tony and Olivier-Winning Spy Musical to Toronto This Fall

Operation Mincemeat: A New Musical arrives at Toronto’s Royal Alexandra Theatre on October 27, and tickets go on sale June 6, the 82nd anniversary of D-Day. The timing is intentional, and so is everything else about this production.

The show is Tony and Olivier Award-winning, named Entertainment Weekly’s number one Broadway show of 2025, and holds the record for the most five-star reviews ever received by a new musical in the West End, with 131. The New York Times called it “the most rewarding theatrical experience I’ve ever had.” That’s the bar.

The story is stranger than fiction, because it is fiction built around fact. Set in 1943, it follows the wildly improbable true covert operation that helped turn the tide of World War II, involving a stolen corpse, forged documents, and a plan audacious enough to fool the Nazis. Ian Fleming is involved. So is farce, thriller energy, and a score that refuses to behave.

Written by SpitLip, the four-person collective of David Cumming, Felix Hagan, Natasha Hodgson, and Zoë Roberts, the show earned 4 Tony nominations in 2025, including Best Musical, and won Best Featured Actor in a Musical for Jak Malone. On Broadway, it’s been extended 8 times and is closing in on its 500th performance at the historic Golden Theatre.

Director Robert Hastie and choreographer Jenny Arnold reprise their work for the world tour. The creative team includes Olivier-nominated set and costume designer Ben Stones, Tony and Olivier-winning lighting designer Mark Henderson, and Tony-nominated sound designer Mike Walker.

Since its origins at the 77-seat New Diorama Theatre in 2019, Operation Mincemeat has logged over 2,000 performances and earned 64 award nominations, winning 13, including Best Musical 3 times. On Broadway, roughly 1 in 50 audience members bought tickets for multiple performances. 53 superfans attended 10 or more shows.

David and Hannah Mirvish are bringing the Canadian premiere to the Royal Alexandra Theatre, 260 King St. W., with performances running Tuesday through Sunday. Tickets are on sale Saturday, June 6 at 10 AM at mirvish.com or by calling 1.800.461.3333.

Performance Schedule:

Tuesday to Saturday: 7:30 PM

Wednesday: 1:30 PM

Saturday and Sunday: 2:00 PM

Boys Like Girls Bring the “Soundtrack Of Your Summer Festival” Home to Boston

Boys Like Girls are throwing a hometown festival, and the lineup hits exactly where it should. The Soundtrack Of Your Summer Festival lands Saturday, August 29 at Leader Bank Pavilion in Boston, with Cartel, Cute Is What We Aim For, and Hit The Lights on the bill for a one-night-only celebration of the music that defined a generation of rock fans.

The festival serves as the US encore of the band’s Soundtrack Of Your Life Tour, where they performed their self-titled debut and ‘Love Drunk’ in full and in tracklist order every night. Boston gets both albums, one stage, and the full experience brought home.

The bill carries some real weight. Cute Is What We Aim For make their first public appearance in nearly 10 years, making this more than a festival, it’s a genuine moment for a community of fans who grew up on this music.

Presales are underway now. General on-sale hits Friday, May 29 at 10 AM local time, with VIP packages available.
