Marco Antonio Solís Announces ‘MAS CERCA DE TI WORLD TOUR 2025’ Across North America

One of the most influential figures in Latin music, Marco Antonio Solís, has announced his brand new MAS CERCA DE TI WORLD TOUR 2025, set to bring his timeless hits and heartfelt performances to fans across the globe. Promoted by Live Nation, the North American leg of the tour will kick off August 1 in Denver, CO, and includes stops in major cities such as San Jose, El Paso, Las Vegas, and Newark before wrapping up in San Juan, PR.

With a career spanning more than four decades, multiple Latin Grammy® Awards, and a place in the Billboard Latin Music Hall of Fame, Solís continues to captivate audiences worldwide with his poetic lyrics, magnetic stage presence, and iconic voice. The MAS CERCA DE TI WORLD TOUR promises a nostalgic musical journey featuring classics and fan favorites from his legendary catalog.

The tour, which was a spectacular success in South America earlier this year and concluded masterfully a few weeks ago in Mexico with a grand concert in Mexico City attended by over 60,000 people, will arrive in the United States to evoke sighs, memories, dancing, and many more emotions.

“El Buki,” the legend of romantic music in Spanish who conquers every stage he performs on, has toured a large part of the continent during the first half of this year, taking his songs to the hearts of hundreds of thousands of fans and lovers who have enjoyed and reveled in the almost three-hour show that each of his presentations has lasted. During the tour through the Southern Cone, with grand performances in Santiago, Chile; Buenos Aires; Cartagena; Asunción; and Santo Domingo, to name a few, South Americans were able to delight in concerts packed with people singing along to the most emblematic songs of the Mexican idol.

During his time in Mexico, the eleven concerts in different parts of the country were magnificent sold-out shows where songs like “Tu Cárcel,” “La Venia Bendita,” “Más Que Tu Amigo,” “¿A Dónde Vamos a Parar?” and “Si No Te Hubieras Ido,” which is an anthem in several parts of the world, were heard and sung at the top of everyone’s lungs by all attendees. With previous experiences, it is expected that the 18 dates announced for the tour in the United States will be an absolute success and, at the same time, an intimate encounter through music where Marco Antonio can interact and be closer to his audience than ever to share and enjoy together.

TICKETS: Tickets will be available starting with Citi presales (details below) beginning Tuesday, June 10. Additional presales will run throughout the week ahead of the general onsale beginning Friday, June 13 at 10am local time at LiveNation.com.

Louie, who last week saw a successful Billy Bob’s Texas street day show and CMA Fest performances in support of his new album, shares, “I can’t wait to get on the road and show people that I’m just a regular person and that anyone can do this. I had never officially left Texas until I was an adult. Getting to tour the country with my music, I would have never guessed.”

Henry Quintero, promoter of Latin touring at Live Nation says, “Louie is a talented, well-rounded musician with a lot of heart for country music and his Latin background. Fans can expect to see a fun yet soulful show that is bound to make a lifelong impression. It is always a treat to work with a talented artist who is creative, passionate, and so deserving.”

TICKETS: Tickets will be available starting Tuesday, June 10 at 8 am local time via a Citi presale (details below). Additional presales will run throughout the week ahead of the general onsale beginning Thursday, June 12 at 10am local time at LiveNation.com.

Inspired by his Mexican American background, Louie weaves a colorful tapestry of cultural influences into his music, reflecting his Fort Worth upbringing and the stages he now commands. His story is one of resilience, fueled by a deep love for performance and an unwavering determination to pursue his dreams. From his early days of dancing in diapers and strumming a toy guitar around the house, Louie’s journey has been a testament to the power of music in shaping identity and purpose. Drawing inspiration from his Mexican heritage and personal experiences, Louie’s music resonates with authenticity and emotion, forging connections that transcend boundaries. Louie brings his swagger to the country music scene with songs like “Desperado,” “Brothers,” “Come and Take IT,” “Down Here,” “Quicker Way To Jesus,” and “Good Girl.”

Louie’s One For The Hometown album features his recent releases “Quicker Way to Jesus,” “Good Girl” and title track, “Hometown (feat. Chris Pérez).”  The album is available everywhere, HERE.

Of the album, Louie shares, “The last couple of years have been a dream come true. I’ve lived each line of every song on this LP and through them I get to pay tribute to my home, my family, and the friends who love me like family. This truly is one for the hometown.”

Live Nation Unveils Northbridge Music Hall, New 3,000-Capacity Venue to Elevate Perth’s Live Entertainment Scene

Live Nation is investing in the future of live entertainment in Western Australia with the launch of Northbridge Music Hall, a purpose-built venue set to open in Summer 2026/27. With a 3,000-capacity and an expected 120 shows in its first year, the venue will elevate Perth’s live music scene and reinforce Northbridge as the city’s premier entertainment destination.

Located at 77 Francis Street, the venue will feature two performance spaces – a main room and a smaller club room – both equipped with state-of-the-art staging and production. The striking facade and elevated streetscape are designed to become a new cultural landmark.

Catering to fans of music, comedy, and theatre, Northbridge Music Hall will host a diverse lineup of local and international acts. Filling the gap for a mid-size venue, it’s poised to become a cornerstone of Perth’s vibrant arts and entertainment community and a key stop on Australian tour circuits.

The launch of this venue is projected to create at least 70 direct employment opportunities and pathways for industry professionals and generate numerous positive economic impacts for other local businesses in Perth’s hospitality and live music sectors.

In a joint statement, Alex Klos, President, and Paul Piticco, Director of Touring and Venue Development, Live Nation Australasia, said, “Northbridge Music Hall is set to become a cornerstone of Perth’s cultural landscape and a dynamic space for live entertainment. Designed to welcome both rising talent and world-class performers, it’s an investment in the city’s creative future and we’re excited to collaborate with the local arts community to create new opportunities for both performers and fans.”

Northbridge Music Hall joins Live Nation’s growing portfolio of iconic venues across Australia and New Zealand, including Festival Hall in Melbourne, Fortitude Music Hall in Brisbane, and Spark Arena in Auckland—each serving as a cornerstone for their local entertainment communities.

A Day To Remember and Yellowcard Announce Massive 2025 North American ‘Maximum Fun Tour’

Multi platinum-selling rock powerhouses A Day To Remember and Yellowcard have announced they’re teaming up for a massive North American outing this fall — the Maximum Fun Tour. Special guests include State Champs and The Wonder Years across various shows. Shows will kick off with performances from Boundaries and Dinosaur Pile-Up on select dates.

Promoted by Live Nation, the 36-city tour kicks off September 5 at Blossom Music Center in Cuyahoga Falls, OH, making stops in Toronto, Camden, Dallas, San Diego, Minneapolis, and more, before wrapping up November 22 at the AmericanBank Center in Corpus Christi, TX.

Beloved for their genre-bending blend of pop-punk, post-hardcore, and metalcore, A Day To Remember are known for their high-energy live shows and anthemic hits like “The Downfall of Us All,” “If It Means a Lot to You,” and “All I Want.” Yellowcard, whose emotionally charged catalog—including the era-defining hit “Ocean Avenue”— continues to resonate with fans all over the world. The tour marks a rare and exciting union of two of the most impactful bands in modern alt-rock.

TICKETS: Tickets will be available starting with artist presales beginning Wednesday, June 4 at 10AM local time. Additional presales will run throughout the week. The general onsale begins Friday, June 6 at 10AM local time at ADTR.com and Yellowcardband.com

For more information, visit vipnation.com.

Since their formation in 2003, A Day To Remember quietly emerged as arguably the biggest underground band in the world. The Florida group affirmed this status by achieving one platinum album, two gold albums, one platinum single, and four gold singles. Not to mention, each full-length record ascended to #1 on the Billboard Rock, Indie, and/or Alternative Chart including their most recent release, A Day To Remember’s Big Ole Album Vol. 1, which arrived earlier this year.  They’ve put up unprecedented numbers for a rock act in the 21st century, generating nearly 2 billion streams worldwide and sales of three million-plus units. They’ve also packed arenas on continental tours and attracted a global audience consisting of millions.  A Day To Remember is: Jeremy McKinnon (vocals), Alex Shelnutt (drums), Kevin Skaff (guitar, vocals), and Neil Westfall (guitar, vocals).

Formed in Jacksonville FL in 1997, Yellowcard became one of the most influential bands in the 2000’s alternative rock scene. Known for blending high energy pop punk with a signature violin twist, their 2003 breakthrough Ocean Avenue is certified Platinum with the title track now certified 2 times platinum. With over 4 million albums sold worldwide and over 1 billion streams, the band is poised for continued success on this new endeavor.  After disbanding in 2017, Yellowcard reunited in 2022 entering into a new creative era and a year packed with a global tour to support it.  Last week, Yellowcard celebrated the announcement of their new album Better Days(due out October 10th via Better Noise Music) by releasing the lead single and title track “Better Days” along with album track “honestly i.” Better Days is the band’s first full feature length album in almost a decade, and the highly anticipated album is produced as well as executive produced by Travis Barker. Barker also plays drums on every song. The album is available for pre-order here.

Conan Gray Drops New Single “This Song” and Announces Fall 2025 Wishbone Pajama Show Tour

Conan Gray Drops New Single “This Song” and Announces Fall 2025 Wishbone Pajama Show Tour

Today, multi-platinum selling singer-songwriter, Conan Gray, releases his new single and accompanying music video for “This Song” from his forthcoming album Wishbone arriving August 15 via Republic Records.  In addition, he announces a Fall 2025 tour, The Wishbone Pajama Show, kicking off in September.

Pre-order / Pre-save Wishbone HERE.

Conan Gray: The Wishbone Pajama Show with special guest hemlocke springs, will kick off on September 11 making stops across the U.S. including his first performance at the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre on October 6. The tour concludes with Conan’s Mexico debut (support TBA), including headlines in Mexico City, Guadalajara and Monterrey. Full tour routing for the Live Nation promoted tour is below. Fans can sign up for the Artist Presale now through June 1 at 10PM PT at conangray.lnk.to/tour. The Artist Presale will begin June 3 at 10am local time and run through June 5 at 9am local time. The general on sale will begin June 5th at 10 am local time.  Conan will be performing music from the anticipated forthcoming album Wishbone for the first-time on-stage, it’s a show you won’t want to miss!

Yesterday, Conan announced The Wishbone Pajama Show to his 7.4 million Instagram followers (see here), where he encouraged fans to dress up, saying “pack your sailor caps and pajama pants… pajamas encouraged but not required.”

“This Song”, written by Conan Gray and produced by Ethan Gruska (Phoebe Bridgers) marks a new era and marked evolution for the singer-songwriter who has been touted as one of the most impactful songwriters of his generation. The official music video is directed by Danica Kleinknecht (Mk.Gee) and co-stars Corey Fogelmanis.  Filmed in Texas, the single’s accompanying visual is a heartbreakingly beautiful and intimate depiction of unspoken desire.

Much like his first two albums, Conan wrote all the songs on the album from his bedroom and has reunited with Grammy Award winning longtime collaborator Dan Nigro, who executive produced Wishbone.  As a longtime collaborator, Dan Nigro has worked with Conan since 2018 including his multi-platinum selling hits “Heather” and “Maniac”.  In addition, Conan worked with Ethan Gruska, Noah Conrad, Luka Kloser and Elvira as producers on Wishbone.

On Wishbone, Conan Gray returns to his singer-songwriter roots after falling in love for the first time, showcasing his creative talents more than ever before.

After North-Carolina artist hemlocke springs (aka Isimeme “Naomi” Udu) posted a TikTok that featured her dancing with awkward enthusiasm to her soon-to-be hit “Girlfriend,” her profile rapidly skyrocketed. Her charming eccentricity and daydreamer persona positioned her as relatable enough for the average listener to buy into, but still strangely iconoclastic enough to be more than just another bedroom TikTok singer. She went on to release a slew of strong singles that evoked a wide range of genres: 2010s indie pop, the cyber-inflected funk of the 1980s Depeche Mode, the bouncing rhythms of Timbaland and The Neptunes, with her beloved Kate Bush at the helm as a huge musical inspiration. All of this culminated in a well-received EP ‘going … going … GONE!’ and a series of memorable music videos that developed springs’s aesthetic of lovably twee chaos, establishing fans among the likes of Chappell Roan, Doja Cat (who she supported on DC’s headline tour summer 24), Grimes, and Steve Lacy. hemlocke is currently in the studio working on her debut LP.

Nobody has tapped into the thoughts and feelings of this era quite like Conan Gray has. The Texas native has transformed into theGen Z singer-songwriter by never losing sight of where he came from, still writing songs in his bedroom, hand-drawing his art, and designing a world without comparison. 2020 saw him leave an indelible imprint on popular culture with his full-length debut LP, Kid Krow. Produced by longtime collaborator and GRAMMY® Award winner Dan Nigro, it bowed at #5 on the Billboard 200, went Platinum, and yielded a series of signature smashes, including the 4x-Platinum “Heather,” 3x-Platinum “Maniac,” and Gold-Certified “Comfort Crowd,” “The Story,” “Wish You Were Sober,” and “The Cut That Always Bleeds.” Among these staples, he entered rarified air with “Heather,” becoming “one of a handful of songs with 2 billion streams penned by one writer (Conan).” With 12 billion total streams to date, Conan returned to the top of the charts with Superache [2022] and Found Heaven [2024]. Moreover, he has incited the applause of The New York Times, Rolling Stone, Vogue, GQ, V Man, PAPER, The FADER, Billboard, and NPR in addition to performing on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Late Night with Seth Meyers, TODAY, and more. He has taken flight as an arena headliner, selling out hallowed venues such as Madison Square Garden. A fixture at events like the Met Gala, Conan’s just as uncompromisingly influential as a style icon, embracing a fashion-forward aesthetic like no other. Beyond thriving as a songwriter, he serves as the core creative director, shaping every layer of his vision down to creating cover art and co-directing music videos. He turns the page on his next chapter in 2025 with his fourth full-length album, Wishbone [Republic Records], beginning with the single “This Song.”

The Beat of Slot Machines: Resonance of Gambling and Music

By Mitch Rice

The casino floor is a symphony of sights and sounds, a carefully orchestrated environment designed to captivate and engage. Among the flashing lights and the murmur of crowds, the distinct auditory landscape of slot machines plays a crucial, often underestimated, role. The music, jingles, and sound effects that emanate from these “one-armed bandits” are not mere embellishments; they are integral components that shape the player’s experience, influencing emotions, behavior, and the overall allure of gambling. With this in mind, let’s talk about the intricate relationship between the beat of slot machines and the resonance of gambling and music.

Crafting Immersive Worlds

Modern slot games are often elaborate thematic experiences, transporting players to ancient Egypt, mythical lands, futuristic cities, or even into the worlds of popular movies and TV shows. Music and sound design are paramount in establishing and reinforcing these themes. For instance, a slot game with an ancient Egyptian theme might feature mystical melodies and the sounds of shifting sands, while a Western-themed game could incorporate guitar riffs and harmonica tunes. This thematic coherence, achieved through carefully selected audio elements, enhances player immersion, making the gaming experience more captivating and emotionally resonant. The goal is to make players feel as if they are part of the game’s narrative, deepening their engagement. If you’re looking for diverse gaming experiences with rich thematic soundscapes, you can check out gamechampions for gaming options.

The Psychology of Sound

The sounds emanating from slot machines are meticulously crafted to tap into player psychology. Upbeat, high-tempo music can evoke excitement and encourage faster play, while slower, more melodic tunes might induce relaxation and prolong gaming sessions. Winning sounds, often characterized by high-pitched, major-mode melodies with chimes and coin-clattering effects, are particularly significant. These sounds trigger the brain’s reward system, releasing dopamine and creating a sense of pleasure and achievement, even for small wins. This positive reinforcement is a powerful motivator, encouraging continued play. Conversely, losing sounds are rarely emphasized, contributing to an environment where the perception of winning is amplified.

Sound Design and the Near Miss

A significant psychological aspect of slot machine design is the “near-miss” effect – when the outcome is close to a win, such as two out of three jackpot symbols aligning. Sound design plays a crucial role in amplifying the emotional impact of these near misses. Specific audio cues can build tension and anticipation as the reels slow down, making the player feel that a big win is imminent. Even when a near miss results in a loss, the preceding sounds can create a heightened sense of excitement and encourage further play, as the player feels they are “close” to winning. This careful orchestration of sound keeps players engaged and hopeful.

The Allure of Branded and Musician-Themed Slots

A growing trend in the slot machine industry is the development of games themed around famous musicians, bands, and entertainment franchises. These slots leverage the pre-existing popularity and emotional connection fans have with these artists and brands. Games featuring icons like Jimi Hendrix, Guns N’ Roses, Michael Jackson, Motörhead, and even pop groups like *NSYNC, incorporate their hit songs and recognizable imagery. For fans, playing these slots offers a multi-sensory experience, combining the thrill of gambling with the pleasure of listening to their favorite music.

How Music Influences Playtime and Spending

The carefully curated soundscapes of slot machines can subtly influence how long individuals play and potentially how much they wager. The continuous loop of stimulating sounds, combined with the absence of clocks and external windows in many physical casinos, can distort the perception of time, leading to longer play sessions. Fast-paced music may prompt quicker betting, while more ambient, relaxing tunes can encourage leisurely, extended play. Several studies have indicated that sound, in general, makes the gaming session more arousing and that players often prefer playing with sound on, although a TapResearch study found 91% of people asked said they preferred the sound off while playing.

Awareness in an Immersive Environment

The same auditory techniques that create excitement and reinforce play can, for some individuals, contribute to compulsive or addictive behaviors. The constant positive reinforcement from winning sounds, even for “losses disguised as wins” (where the payout is less than the bet), can create a skewed perception of success. Recognizing this, some discussions in the industry and among researchers highlight the need for responsible gaming initiatives, which includes designing sounds that are engaging but not overly manipulative and providing players with options to control or mute audio.

The beat of slot machines is far more than just background noise; it is a powerful, scientifically informed tool that shapes the entire gambling experience. The resonance between gambling and music is a complex interplay of psychology, technology, and entertainment, a symphony meticulously composed to keep players engaged and the reels spinning. As technology continues to evolve, with advancements like 3D audio and virtual reality on the horizon, the auditory dimension of slot machines is set to become even more intricate and influential.

Aminé Announces Global Fall Tour Supporting Critically Acclaimed ‘13 Months of Sunshine’

Aminé announces a tour in support of his recently-released album 13 Months of Sunshine across North America, the United Kingdom and Europe for this Fall. He’ll be kicking off the tour with the second edition of The Best Day Ever Festival taking place September 13th and 14th in his hometown of Portland before taking the music of his new acclaimed album and his storied catalog across the Live Nation-promoted 4-month run.

TICKETS: Tickets will be available starting with an artist pre-sale beginning Wednesday, May 28 at 7am local time. Sign up now at https://aminemusic.com/. Additional pre-sales will run throughout the week ahead of the general onsale beginning Friday, May 30 at 9am local time.

EU/UK TICKET ACCESS: Mastercard cardholders have special access to presale tickets in

France, Denmark and Sweden. Mastercard Presale starts Wednesday, May 28 at 9am local.

Preferred ticket access to some of the best tickets are available in the countries listed and the UK from Friday, May 30 at 9am local. Check out priceless.com/music for details.

VIP: In select cities, the shows will also offer a variety of different VIP packages and experiences for fans to take their concert experience to the next level. For more information, visit https://aminemusic.com/.

The tour announcement closely follows a pair of sold out release parties in Los Angeles and New York, where Aminé and friends celebrated the release of the new album and debuted the songs live for the first time since its release. 13 Months of Sunshine‘s title is a play on the Gregorian 13-month calendar that Aminé’s native Ethiopia and Eritrea follow, as well as a direct reference to the Western marketing campaigns to entice tourists to visit Ethiopia in the 60’s and 70’s. “They came up with this slogan to show people that there was so much more to Ethiopia than what is advertised,” the rapper shared, “I related so heavily to it, because on this album, I am showing that there’s so much more than what everyone assumes about my music—myself included.” Guided by intimate conversations with family members, specifically his father, and the strong ties to his East African heritage, 13 Months of Sunshine sees the rapper reevaluate his meteoric success and the legacy he wants to leave behind through intentional storytelling.

Executive produced by Dahi (Ravyn Lenae, SZA, Kendrick Lamar), every line on the 16-song album passes the “small reading room test” through lyrics that he “would be proud to read, without music and in front of 30 people,” Aminé explains, “Every line had to pass that test.” From the Waxahatchee-featuring indie pop beauty of “History” to the psych-synth invocation of Toro y Moi-assisted album closer “Images” on 13 Months of Sunshine, the rapper presents his most exacting vision to date as well as a ferocious appetite as both a listener and curator of sound.

Listen to 13 Months of Sunshine now and see all upcoming Aminé tour dates below of tickets going on sale this Friday.
