Live Nation Entertainment today announced a new partnership with BeLive Entertainment Group that will make the company a majority stakeholder in Movistar Arena Santiago, strengthening one of Chile’s most important venues for fans and artists.

The arena’s identity and deep local ties will remain central to all plans.

“Latin America is one of the most vibrant live music regions in the world, and Chile is a critical stop for artists touring the continent,” said Live Nation CEO and President Michael Rapino. “Partnering with BeLive allows us to strengthen what already works, bring in more great shows, and continue growing the live experience for fans across the region.”

DETROIT ILLHARMONIC SYMPHONY Teams With Punk Icons for New Album ‘Everything Is Shattered’

DETROIT ILLHARMONIC SYMPHONY Teams With Punk Icons for New Album ‘Everything Is Shattered’

The Los Angeles-based collective Detroit Illharmonic Symphony has released their new album, ‘Everything Is Shattered’, a wild mashup of punk, indie rock, hip hop, and cinematic chaos, straight from California’s legendary Geza X Records. The lead track, the high-energy post-punk anthem “Everything Is Shattered,” features southern California punk pioneer Jack Grisham (TSOL) alongside future superstar Max Galbreath on vocals, recorded and produced by Paul Roessler. The album continues to deliver bold genre-fusing moments, including Keith Morris (Circle Jerks, Black Flag) contributing vocals on the psychedelic surf-punk track “If You Cooperate,” with violin from Cecilia Suhr.

These two songs, and others on the 14-track collection, come from the bold 2025 animated motion picture I’d Rather Be Turned Into Cat Food, written and directed by Walter Santucci and produced by Evil Cat Land. Fusing elements of punk, indie rock, classical music, hip hop, and soul, the album brings to life fantasies of TSOL jamming with the Beastie Boys in a Quentin Tarantino movie. With a rich diversity on display—from the 70s soul of “Doo Doo On A Stick” to the hip-hop cool of “Welcome to Fear City”—this latest record, which is also available on a limited-edition translucent blue vinyl 7” single, is loaded with punk attitude, cinematic soundscapes, and hip hop swagger, perfect for unique, left-of-center playlists.

TRACK LIST:

    1. “Everything Is Shattered”
    1. “If You Cooperate”
    1. “Welcome to Fear City”
    1. “I Can Give You More”
    1. “Doo Doo On a Stick”

This tour marks a significant turning point for the self-taught multi-instrumentalist, who spent 2025 building independent momentum and racking up over 85 million streams before stepping into the headline spotlight, bringing her gritty, trap-infused industrial metal to rooms across the U.S. and Canada.
