BANKS Announces “Off With Her Head” North American Tour

Today, world-renowned singer-songwriter, BANKS, releases her fifth studio album entitled Off With Her Headvia ADA Worldwide, the independent label and artist services arm of Warner Music Group. The album comes off the heels of BANKS’ 10-year anniversary celebration of her debut album Goddess for which she released an acoustic version of the iconic album entitled Goddess: Unplugged. She also celebrated with a completely sold-out four-continent tour where she played special live intimate shows in London, New York, Los Angeles, and Melbourne, Australia. The tour undoubtedly fueled fan excitement for the highly awaited Off With Her Head album. Sonically reminiscent of her Goddess roots, BANKS says, “In many ways, it’s a big sister album to Goddess. After a decade apart, I’ve reunited with the core musicians and producers who helped shape my debut. At the same time, it’s something entirely different— I’ve grown so much as an artist and a person, and the journey is documented in all these sounds.” The album features previous singles ““I Hate Your Ex-Girlfriend” featuring Doechii, “Best Friends,” her most recent single, “Love Is Unkind,” the much-anticipated track “Delulu,” and “Meddle In The Mold,” which she recently debuted live on COLORS (Click HERE). See full track list below.

California-bred singer-songwriter, Jillian Rose Banks, aka BANKS, crafts moody, alternative pop with shades of contemporary R&B. Emerging in the early 2010s with her debut album, Goddess, BANKS created a dark signature sound of downtempo, alt-R&B that helped build a loyal, cross-genre audience. The critically acclaimed and gold-certified album peaked just outside the Top Ten on the Billboard 200 and features songs like “Before I Ever Met You,” “Warm Water,” and “Fall Over.” Her highly anticipated sophomore album, The Altar, was released in 2016 and includes singles “Fuck with Myself,” “Gemini Feed,” and “Mind Games,” and peaked at number 17 on the Billboard 200. BANKS returned with her third studio album, III in 2019, followed by her 2022 album Serpentina, which she recorded amid the pandemic during months of isolation and is tied to themes of shedding old skin and embracing the new. In 2024, BANKS celebrated the 10-year anniversary of Goddess with the release of an acoustic version of the iconic album entitled Goddess: Unplugged, along with a four-continent sold-out tour where she teased songs from her fifth studio album, Off With Her Head to much fanfare.

Live Nation Signs Deal To Operate Helsinki Halli, Bringing Artists Back To Finland’s Premier Arena

Live Nation Signs Deal To Operate Helsinki Halli, Bringing Artists Back To Finland’s Premier Arena

Live Nation today announced that it has taken on a 20-year long-term lease to operate Helsinki’s prized arena, Helsinki Halli, putting the arena back on the international touring map.

Helsinki Halli first opened in 1997 and is the largest arena in Finland, with a capacity of up to 15,900. The arena has been closed since 2020, apart from a brief reopening in 2021, leaving the Finnish touring market without its premier live entertainment space.

When open, the arena generates more than €100 million for the Helsinki economy annually – an economic boost which has been missing from the capital.

Live Nation’s agreement to operate the venue follows its recent purchase by a consortium led by Finnish investor Heikki Viitikko and Trevian Asset Management Oy.

Tom Lynch, Live Nation President Venues EMEA said: ‘There has been a gap in the live music scene in Finland since Helsinki Halli closed, and we’re proud to play a part in bringing the arena back to life. We can’t wait to get artists back on its stage, and fans back through the doors again.’

Heikki Viitikko, main owner and Chairman of Helsinki Halli added: ‘We have more than one reason to be delighted today. Firstly, Finland’s premier venue is back to local ownership and soon ready to reopen. Secondly, in co-operation with Live Nation, the world’s leading live entertainment company, together we can take the first step on the road to reinventing this industry-leading arena.’

Helsinki Halli is due to open in Spring 2025, with announcements regarding the first acts to grace the stage coming soon. Discussions are also underway regarding the potential sporting uses of the arena, as the venue was previously home to the local ice hockey team.

In all, the Montreal-formed quartet has sold over 10 million albums worldwide, captivated the main stages of the Vans Warped Tour and When We Were Young, performed at the 2010 Winter Olympics and with the Montreal Symphony Orchestra, sold out shows around the world and raised more than $3 million through the Simple Plan Foundation. Their videos have garnered more than a billion YouTube views, while their inescapable social media presence driven another billion views on the viral #ImJustAKid Challenge alongside videos from *NSYNC, Ed Sheeran, and Venus and Serena Williams. In 2025, they’ll celebrate their landmark 25th anniversary with their biggest year yet, anchored by a career-spanning documentary on Amazon Prime Video, worldwide amphitheater and arena tours with Avril Lavigne and The Offspring and their most ambitious headlining trek in 20 years, the Bigger Than You Think! tour.

Bowling For Soup have spent the last 30 years proving they’re one of the most fun, engaging, and downright entertaining live bands in pop punk. Formed in Wichita Falls, TX, in 1994 and later relocating to Denton, BFS built their career on infectious anthems like “Girl All The Bad Guys Want,” “1985,” and “High School Never Ends,” along with theme songs for Jimmy Neutron and Phineas and Ferb. Their mix of massive singalongs, off-the-cuff comedy, and undeniable energy has made them a fan favorite across multiple generations, with parents now bringing their kids to join the party. Even after three decades, BFS show no signs of slowing down. In 2024, they marked their

30th anniversary with sold-out tours across the U.S., U.K., and Australia, celebrating 20 years of A Hangover You Don’t Deserve. Though longtime guitarist Chris Burney retired in early 2025, Jaret Reddick, Gary Wiseman, and Rob Felicetti continue to bring their signature chaos to the stage, headlining Wembley Arena in December 2025. With a new live acoustic album, a pop-punk covers record, and more music on the way, Bowling For Soup remain pop punk legends, keeping the good times rolling.

3OH!3 stands for 303, the telephone code for Boulder, Colorado, which happens to be the number-one question Nathaniel Motte and Sean Foreman get asked in interviews… well, that and, “how tall are you?!” (they’re 6’8″ and 6’1″, incidentally). So now that that’s out of the way we can get to the juicer details of this mountain-raised, finely-aging boy band. 3OH!3 continue to tour all over the world, and HELL YES, they will still play all your favorite hits off of their first album WANT so your “middle school self” can truly live. They’ve played shows on every continent except for Antarctica (too cold). 3OH!3 are still hard at work writing and producing music. Their recent releases include the singles “Lonely Machines feat 100 Gecs” and “I’m So Sad” off their album NEED. Nat and Sean also write and produce songs for other artists including Maroon 5, BTS, Kesha, Illenium, Ariana Grande, Lil Jon, Black Bear, and MAX, to name a few. These pioneers of the early aughts party scene can teach youhow to party – just come see your favorite Boulder Boyz in a city near you sometime soon. Or just stream “Don’t Trust Me” “My First Kiss” and “Starstrukk” on endless repeat – either way, they’ve got nothing but love for you and yours.
