Live reviews

Howard Devoto was one of the earliest devotees of Punk, founding the legendary Buzzcocks in 1976. Days before the launch of their first EP, and on the cusp of stardom, Devoto left Buzzcocks to form Magazine, the more complex, arthouse offspring of the buzzsaw Buzzcocks.

Magazine put out a string of hugely influential track. The band lasted until 1981, when Devoto faded from the scene.

In 2009, Magazine roared back into (Real) life. The lineup is mix of original members and new talent, and is led by a rejuvenated Devoto. I caught them at the Shepherd's Bush Empire.

You fear disappointment when you see your musical heros play late in their career. But Magazine do not disappoint. Devoto may be a little more substantial now, but his energy and commitment are, if anything, even more intense than the early days. He rules the stage, at once a fearsome and yet also a reassuring presence. The band are tight, fast and aggressive. Old favourites like "The Light Pours out of Me" and "Shot by Both Sides" roar as if they were new. A real highlight is "Permafrost", the menace and fear in this deeply disturbing song send shivers down the spine.

New songs stand up against the classic material. Noko the lead guitarist is a strutting preening presence, the self-regarding id to Devoto's hyper-intellectual ego. He leads the band through a rousing rendition of "Holy Dotage" that electrifies the whole audience.

See Magazine live: it is a unique experience and one that every music fan should have.

Quite possibly the definitive post-punk group, this Manchester crew heavily incoporated synths into its sound

Published on

Magazine photo by Ebet Roberts and Redferns

Quite possibly the definitive post-punk band, Magazine blazed bright from 1977 to 1981, weathered any manner of line-up storms in rattling teacups, then came back triumphant in 2009 with a reunion that stunned new watchers and delighted old-timers who were rightly heard muttering – we told you so. But even from the opening salvo of ‘Shot By Both Sides’ it was apparent that Magazine – namely the super brained Howard Devoto, the legendary John McGeoch, the well-fancied Barry Adamson and the not to be forgotten Bob Dickinson and Martin Jackson – were a special edition. The then and now classic ‘Shot By Both Sides’ set a heady standard which acclaimed albums like Real Life , Secondhand Daylight , The Correct Use of Soap , et al. took out into the battlefields. Retrospectively influential on everyone from Guns N’ Roses (yep, it’s true) to The Mission, Mansun and Ministry, the ongoing Magazine were also in the full acquaintance of Messrs Morrissey and Marr. And that’s just the ‘M’s.

The band are also renowned for their careful productions and immaculate sonic variations – in that sense they were blessed with some of the most far-sighted producers of their era, John Leckie, Colin Thurston and the immortal console wizard Martin Hannett. Listen to Radiohead, for example, and you’ll realise the influence and reach of Magazine’s sonar. Indeed, when they reconvened a few years back Devoto and company sounded as relevant and challenging as ever. Either they were always that way, or are the others just catching up? Both probably…

Howard Devoto was always Magazine’s editor-in-chief. He was the words man and the singer and the master of ceremonies all rolled into one dynamic package. He put together the first line-up in 1977 after deciding that he wanted to try something a bit more adventurous than being in Buzzcocks – as great a guitar band as they were. Devoto left them with ‘Shot By Both Sides’, in that instance a razor-sharp love song. Once it became Magazine property it took on a cooler, fatalistic bent with a side order of morbid humour. So it went as the single missed out on a Top 40 placing when Howard refused to lip-synch to the track but stood there stony-faced. Tut tut.

Designs For Life: Celebrating The Art Of Punk

Back to the basement: 10 diy music venues and the scenes they launched, the greatest debut 45 records in history.

The arrival of Dave Formula on keyboards heralded a flurry of line up changes but smarter critics soon latched on to the debut album, Real Life , an album that avoided straightforward noise and concentrated on a more forward-thinking approach exemplified by the opening ‘Definitive Gaze’ before really gathering steam during ‘The Great Beautician in the Sky’ and ‘The Light Pours Out of Me’. Small wonder this album regularly features in lists of the greatest debut discs of all time.

1979’s immaculate Secondhand Daylight concentrated minds again as Devoto and McGeoch built a layered edifice of quiet violence culminating in the shocking imagery of ‘Permafrost’. Brittle rhythms, deadpan lyrics and Formula’s eerie synth drones aside this album goes head-on with the listener, forcing as many emotional issues as is possible into the time assigned. Today it seems magnificently deranged – imagine if Captain Beefheart was born in Manchester. Demons are afoot.

John McGeoch would leave after the third album, The Correct Use of Soap , joining Siouxsie And The Banshees , but not before Magazine made their strongest statement to date. Returning to some of the bouncier moods of Real Life , the band also discovered their own version of dance music and hit upon the eccentric pop grooves of ‘A Song from Under the Floorboards’ and the elegant ‘Sweetheart Contract’. Perhaps just as startling was their cover of the Sly and the Family Stone soul lurch, ‘Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin)’, which took some nerve but was carried off with rare aplomb. The remastered with bonus material, including ‘Twenty Years Ago’ and ‘Upside Down’ is a consistent delight. This album was also played in its entirety when Magazine performed at the Royal Festival Hall in 2009 to standing ovations. It too stands up.

Enjoying a fruitful period of collaboration with producer Martin Hannett the band entered the hallowed ground of Trident Studios in London to make Magic, Murder and the Weather (1981). Given the internal tensions within the group – Devoto was none too pleased by McGeoch’s sloping off for a start – this disc was somewhat pigeonholed at the time as the last hurrah when in fact it now looms up again as a superb piece of admittedly nerve-shredding post-punk art. New guitarist Ben Mandelson slotted into place and co-wrote ‘The Honeymoon Killers’ with Adamson and Devoto and it sounds like the cornerstone for some pretty damn outré compositions. ‘This Poison’ and ‘Suburban Rhonda’ are bang on the money and the remaster, featuring ‘In The Dark’ and ‘The Operative’, helps make sense of a period when trouble could still be parlayed into triumph. Devoto’s ever more cynical lyrics and Formula’s frozen keys are the dominant force and the impression left is of a band going out with an aggrieved bang. Far better that than a damp squib whimper.

Howard Devoto’s decision to try another guise left Magazine with little choice but to join him; even so the wryly-named compilation After The Fact is a posthumous treasure. It includes their version of ‘Goldfinger’ (Shirley Bassey never did it quite this way) as well as The Magic Band’s ‘I Love You, You Big Dummy’, a much-admired B-side.

In retrospect, it’s easy to see and hear just how Magazine have impacted on the more avant-garde end of pop music they trail blazed and left in their wake. It seems as if they’ve also fallen back in love with what made them excel, a fine example of time lending detachment.

Other ways to discover the band abound. The live Play (recorded at Melbourne’s Festival Hall in 1980) proves they could translate abroad while the compilations Rays And Hail 1978-1981: The Best of Magazine ; the excellent companion disc Scree – Rarities 1978-1981 ; and Where The Power Is are all fine items in their own right. Once you’ve digested those you could also try Maybe It’s Right To Be Nervous Now or the seminal The Complete John Peel Sessions .

A fan choice is also the Touch And Go Anthology , featuring ‘Give Me Everything’, the luscious ‘Model Worker’ and curveball tracks like ‘My Mind Ain’t So Open’ and ‘TV Baby’ that are a pertinent reminder – Magazine didn’t just transcend the indie punk movement, they blew it into the dust. Shot by both sides, they live to fight another day.

Magazine: A Band from Under the Floorboards

With all of today’s waxing nostalgia for the music of the late ’70s and early ’80s, our memory lane is pockmarked by potholes. Many bands of the 2000s owe an obvious debt to post-punk. And yet, to read the lists of influences generated by the majority of both publicists and reviewers, you might think that the only two acts from the post-punk era were Joy Division and Gang of Four. This presents an unrealistically limited view of the breadth of creativity occurring at that time, as if the scene was limited to either gray-toned gloom or spiky funk-punk. While this makes for a conveniently tidy definition of the genre, it’s one that’s also inaccurate and inadequate. Did you know that post-punk could also display catchy melodies and, more amazingly, a sense of humor? In a world where bands tended to take themselves quite seriously, a maverick quintet of Mancunians stood apart from the pack: Magazine. Perhaps because they were difficult to pigeonhole, their contributions and influence has been largely forgotten. Thankfully, EMI have just issued remastered CDs of the band’s four albums.

The members of Magazine boast impressive pedigrees. Singer Howard Devoto was a founding member and lead vocalist for Buzzcocks, one of the great original punk bands. Devoto left before they made it big, appearing only on Buzzcocks’ Spiral Scratch EP and the quasi-official Time’s Up compilation. In April 1977, he hooked up with Scottish guitarist John McGeoch. Although McGeoch hadn’t come from a famous band, he would go on to become one of the most well-respected guitarists around, recording with Siouxsie and the Banshees, P.I.L., and Peter Murphy. The duo then recruited bassist Barry Adamson, who would later become a member of Nick Cave’s Bad Seeds, as well as a composer of film soundtracks. Original drummer Martin Jackson went on to join a latter day Chameleons (cool), to play with Frank Zappa (wow), and to program drums for Swing Out Sister (hmm, well, okay). Only Magazine’s keyboardists didn’t go on to future greatness. The first man to fill that slot, Bob Dickinson didn’t last long enough to make it to the recording studio. He was replaced in 1978 by Dave Formula. A former cabaret musician, he added a great deal to the Magazine sound, although his only other claim to infamy was tagging along with Adamson and McGeoch to join Visage, a synth-heavy, new romantic one hit wonder (“Fade to Grey”). Regardless, Magazine in their heyday were comprised of terrific musicians, all bursting with creativity.

These qualities shone through immediately on the band’s 1978 debut, the classic Real Life LP. Coming back to it now and listening with fresh ears (and to a freshly remastered mix), the album’s tracklist seems almost impossibly good. How could one record contain so many killer songs? There isn’t a weak spot to be found. Track eight, “The Light Pours Out of Me”, with its dryly funky verses and lushly melodramatic chorus, is just as good as track one, “Definitive Gaze”, which moves from a creepy, fun-house organ intro to an anthemic, wordless chorus. It also contains the lyric that birthed the album’s title: “Clarity has reared / Its ugly head again / So this is real life / You’re telling me”. Pathos and bathos, all delivered with a wink and a smile; this is the Devoto way. “The Great Beautician in the Sky” is another carnival ride, as waltz time slides into straight 4/4, then a loping oompah, and back again. In lesser hands, this stylistic slalom would go crashing off course. Magazine, though, were a dexterous bunch of songwriters. They also had great chops and could also lock into a dirty jam and rock it out, as on the double-time second half of “Motorcade”. Best of all is “Shot by Both Sides”, with its glorious guitar theme and theatrically gothic chorus. An earlier version, recorded between keyboardists, was the group’s first single and their only ever to chart (peaking at #41 in the UK). It’s included as a bonus track on the updated CD, along with another pre-album single, the more straightforward punk-pop cut “Touch and Go”. Both b-sides were added, as well. These make for fine additions, although an album as magnificent as Real Life could scarcely use improving.

Magazine – The Light Pours Out of Me

After Magazine’s first tour, Jackson left and was replaced by John Doyle. Despite this change in the drummer slot, Magazine took little time getting to their follow-up LP, 1979’s Secondhand Daylight . A less kooky album, it trades out the haunted fairground motifs that accented Real Life for the occasional gray mood more befitting of a typical post-punk band. Then again, Magazine weren’t typical of any particular style, so these overcast moments don’t dominate. They do, however, usher in the record. The first song, “Feed the Enemy”, doesn’t reach and grab you so much as it lulls you in. Showing the band’s indebtedness to their immediate forebears, the beginning of the track could have come from side two of either of Bowie’s 1977 Berlin albums, while the rest of the track is a Roxy Music-like slow boiler. The Bowie factor looms even larger in “The Thin Air”, a druggy instrumental track featuring chilly synth washes and sorrowful sax. Still, this spaceyness is balanced out by quicker paced songs like the glam-punk of “Rhythm of Cruelty” and “Talk to the Body”, where Devoto gives us a Johnny Rotten sneer and then insists repeatedly that we all “Clam up / Calm down”.

As the decade changed from the ’70s to the ’80s, Magazine returned to the winning blueprint of Real Life , reinvigorating their sound with pop hooks and livelier tempos. Produced by the legendary Martin Hannett (Buzzcocks, Joy Division, Psychedelic Furs, New Order), the album showcased the tightest songwriting of the band’s career. This yielded a great album that’s just a fraction less vital and gripping than Real Life . Perky leadoff track “Because You’re Frightened” showed why the group is sometimes categorized as new wave, although McGeoch’s guitar riff sounds just like another beyond-punk song from that same year, the Clash’s recording of “Police on My Back”. Like “the only band that mattered”, Magazine, too, were largely uncategorizable. No song in their catalog proved this more than their darkly groovy cover of Sly & the Family Stone’s “Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Again)”. This experiment shouldn’t have worked, but Magazine pulled it off brilliantly. As with much of their best material, the division between seriousness and humor is a thin and permeable membrane through which their music ebbed and flowed. The album ends with one of their all-time killer tracks, “A Song from Under the Floorboards”. The delicious verses burble along on a Durany bass line, while the chorus features subtle yet irresistible “la, la”‘s.

Magazine decided to call it a day in 1981, but not before recording their fourth and final studio album, Magic, Murder and the Weather . Maybe their heart wasn’t in it, because the record is a lackluster affair. Not that the writing and performances are entirely to blame. Hannett returned as producer, but he left his golden ears behind. For every good and tidy track like the catchy “About the Weather” or the return-to-cabaret feel of “The Honeymoon Killers”, we’re burdened with at least as many murky cuts like “So Lucky”, “Vigilance”, and “Naked Eye”, all of which sound like they were recorded on a Walkman from the back of a nightclub (minus the excitement of applause, that is). Although Formula’s synth sounds are laid on a little thick, closing number “The Garden” somewhat redeems the album’s worth. In a strange way, the remastering crew should be rewarded for maintaining the integrity of Hannett’s original mix of the album, even if that mix was often detrimental to the songs. The two bonus tracks here, b-sides to “About the Weather”, were produced by the band and are the clearest tracks on the CD. I suppose that, for completion’s sake, EMI had to reissue this mediocre album along with the great ones that preceded it, but most of us would be happy to simply excise this disc from Magazine’s discography. It’s one for the hardcore fans only.

Their final release aside, Magazine left behind a great legacy. They were one of the most inventive bands of their time. Like two other excellent groups of their nonconformist contemporaries, the Stranglers and the Damned, Magazine had no compunction about poking fun at the shadowy realms in which their music dwelled, even as they reveled in the gooey darkness. They took their craft quite seriously, but not themselves. Any given passage from their best material could be both cool and funny at the same time; at once brimming with sentiment and mocking sentimentality. This was true of both the band’s music and Devoto’s lyrics. These elements reinforced one another, sometimes through juxtaposition and sometimes by fusing together to get the point across. Not that the experience of listening to Magazine needs to be intellectualized to be enjoyed. For a band that played outside the rules of a scene that supposedly had no rules, Magazine were often quite accessible and fun. If you’ve been missing out all these years, now is the perfect time to join the weird little party. Their four remastered studio albums all sound great, offer a choice selection of quality bonus tracks, and feature good liner notes. So why not “subscribe” (ugh) to Magazine today!

About: Magazine (band)

Magazine were an English rock band formed in 1977 in Manchester in England by singer Howard Devoto and guitarist John McGeoch. After leaving the punk group Buzzcocks in early 1977, Devoto decided to create a more progressive and less "traditional" rock band. The original lineup of Magazine was composed of Devoto, McGeoch, Barry Adamson on bass, Bob Dickinson on keyboards and Martin Jackson on drums. They reunited in 2009 for a UK tour with Noko on guitar. Magazine released an album of new material, No Thyself, in October 2011, followed by a short UK tour.

Magazine (band)

Magazine were an English rock band formed in 1977 in Manchester in England by singer Howard Devoto and guitarist John McGeoch . After leaving the punk group Buzzcocks in early 1977, Devoto decided to create a more progressive and less "traditional" rock band. The original lineup of Magazine was composed of Devoto, McGeoch, Barry Adamson on bass, Bob Dickinson on keyboards and Martin Jackson on drums.

Discography

Studio albums, live albums, compilation albums, video albums, further reading, external links.

Their debut album, Real Life (1978), was critically acclaimed and was one of the first post-punk albums. After releasing two other albums, Secondhand Daylight and The Correct Use of Soap , McGeoch left the band in 1980 to join Siouxsie and the Banshees . Magazine released another studio album and disbanded in 1981. All four of their albums reached the top 40 on the UK Albums Chart .

They reunited in 2009 for a UK tour with Noko on guitar. Magazine released an album of new material, No Thyself , in October 2011, followed by a short UK tour.

Magazine have been cited as an influence by bands and musicians such as Simple Minds , the Smiths , Radiohead , Pulp and John Frusciante .

Devoto formed Magazine in Manchester , shortly after he left Buzzcocks in early 1977. In April 1977, he met guitarist McGeoch, then an art student, and they began writing songs, some of which would appear on the first Magazine album. [1] They then recruited Barry Adamson on bass, Bob Dickinson on keyboards and Martin Jackson (previously of the Freshies ) on drums, forming the first lineup of the band. After signing to Virgin Records , Magazine played their debut live gig at Rafters in Manchester on 28 October 1977. [ citation needed ]

"Motorcade" co-writer Dickinson, whose background was in classical and avant-garde music , [ citation needed ] left shortly after several gigs in late 1977. In early 1978, the band released their first single, " Shot by Both Sides ", a song Magazine recorded as a quartet. It featured a guitar-bass-drums sound similar to punk rock . [ citation needed ] Shortly after the single's release, Dave Formula , who had played with a briefly successful 1960s rock band from Manchester called St. Louis Union , [ citation needed ] joined as keyboardist. "Shot by Both Sides" used a chord progression suggested by Pete Shelley , which was also used in the Buzzcocks track "Lipstick". [2] The Magazine single just missed the UK top 40. [3] The band, with Formula on keyboards, made its first major TV appearance on Top of the Pops in February 1978, performing the single. [ citation needed ]

Following a British tour to promote their debut album, Real Life (which made the UK top 30), [3] Jackson left Magazine in late July. He was replaced briefly by Paul Spencer, who performed with the band for gigs across Europe and some television appearances, including The Old Grey Whistle Test , where they played "Definitive Gaze". Spencer quit partway through the tour, joining the Speedometors shortly afterwards. He was replaced in October by John Doyle , who completed the Real Life promotional tour and remained in the band. [4]

Magazine's second album, Secondhand Daylight , was released in 1979, reaching the UK top 40. [3] The album featured a greater use of synthesisers. That same year, McGeoch, Adamson and Formula joined electronic project Visage , recording and releasing the single " Tar ". [ citation needed ]

After the release of Secondhand Daylight , Devoto decided to change producers. [ citation needed ] He chose Martin Hannett , who produced their next album, The Correct Use of Soap , released the following year and again making the top 30, while the single "Sweetheart Contract" was a minor success on the singles chart. [3] Following its release, McGeoch left the band, tired of Magazine's low sales and their less guitar-oriented songs. [ citation needed ] He soon joined Siouxsie and the Banshees . To replace him, the band hired Robin Simon , who had been in Ultravox and Neo . That lineup toured Europe and Australia, recording their next release, the live album Play . Simon made some initial recordings and rehearsals for what would be the next Magazine album, including co-writing the song "So Lucky", but he left the band before the album was released so that he could record the John Foxx solo album The Garden . [ citation needed ]

Again without a guitarist, Devoto called in his former college friend at Bolton , Ben Mandelson (a former Amazorblades member). This lineup completed the 1981 recording of the band's fourth studio album, Magic, Murder and the Weather , but Devoto quit that May, months before its release, and the remaining members disbanded. A year later, After the Fact , the first Magazine compilation, was released.

Adamson continued collaborating with Visage, and also began to work with Shelley, the Birthday Party and Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds . Jackson later played with the Chameleons , Swing Out Sister and the Durutti Column . Formula continued as a member of Visage and joined Ludus , and Mandelson joined the Mekons . [5] Doyle joined the Armoury Show in Scotland in 1983, which also featured McGeoch; the latter later played guitar for Public Image Ltd . After a brief solo outing and two albums with Luxuria , Devoto quit music to become a photo archivist, until a new collaboration with Shelley produced the Buzzkunst album in 2002. McGeoch died in 2004, aged 48. [6]

In February 2009, Devoto and Magazine re-formed for five performances. The lineup included Devoto, Formula, Adamson and Doyle. The Radiohead guitarist Jonny Greenwood , a Magazine fan, declined an offer to fill in for McGeoch. According to the Radiohead collaborator Adam Buxton , Jonny was "overwhelmed" and too shy to accept the role. [7] Noko , Devoto's bandmate in Luxuria, was the guitarist on the tour. [ citation needed ]

The shows were sold out and received acclaim. [8] [9] [10] The group went on to play at festivals in the UK and abroad that summer, before performing "The Soap Show" in Manchester, Edinburgh and London. The band played two sets: a performance of The Correct Use of Soap in full, followed by a set composed of other songs from their catalogue.

In January 2010, Noko officially joined the band, becoming a full member of Magazine. The band started work on new material. In November 2010, Adamson left to concentrate on his film work and solo recordings. Jon "Stan" White joined as bass player on the new recordings and debuted live on 30 June 2011 at Wolverhampton Slade Rooms, where Magazine were playing a warm-up show for their Hop Farm Festival appearance two days later.

A new studio album, No Thyself , was released worldwide by Wire Sound on 24 October 2011, and the band embarked on a UK tour in November. On 16 April 2016, as part of Record Store Day , the band released Once at the Academy , a live 5-track 12" EP recorded at their reunion shows at Manchester Academy in February 2009.

Magazine was an influence on the fledgling Simple Minds , who supported them on a 1979 tour and much later covered "A Song from Under the Floorboards". [11] [12] The Radiohead guitarist Jonny Greenwood named McGeoch his biggest guitar influence, and said that Magazine's songwriting "informs so much of what we do". [13] Radiohead performed a cover of "Shot By Both Sides" in 2000. [14]

Johnny Marr of the Smiths cited Magazine as an influence, particularly McGeoch's guitar work. [15] [16] The Smiths singer, Morrissey , covered "A Song from Under the Floorboards" as a B-side to his 2006 single " The Youngest Was the Most Loved ". "Floorboards" was also covered by My Friend the Chocolate Cake on their 1994 album Brood . MGMT played a version of "Burst" on tour in 2011. [17]

Jarvis Cocker of Pulp praised Real Life saying: "this was such an important record for the time because it showed that you could still do something that had attack to it combined with a real intelligence, without going into ponce territory". [18] The band and their singer/lyricist Howard Devoto has also been cited as an influence on several 1980s bands, such as China Crisis [19] and Fiction Factory . [20]

Lolita Pop recorded a cover of "A Song from under the Floorboards" on 1989's Love Poison . Half Man Half Biscuit have performed live covers of a number of Magazine songs. "The Light Pours Out of Me" was covered by several acts including Peter Murphy , Ministry , the Mission , Sleep Chamber and Zero Boys . The band No Fun at All did a cover of "Shot by Both Sides" on their record And Now for Something Completely Different . Mansun covered "Shot by Both Sides" for John Peel sessions. Duff McKagan cited Real Life as an influence, particularly on tracks where a chorus effect is used. [21]

More on Fozzy: After touring the world and building a loyal fanbase for the better part of twenty years, Fozzy is the epitome of what a killer rock n roll band should be: catchy, groovy, hooky, sweaty, and most importantly, a GREAT EFFEN TIME!

With six consecutive TOP 20 singles, Fozzy is steadily becoming one of the most successful bands on Modern Rock Radio, with their breakthrough massive smash song “Judas” achieving Gold Record status of 500,000 units sold in February of 2022!

Rich Ward is one of the most versatile, talented riff machines & songwriters in rock n roll today. Chris Jericho’s skills as a frontman are second to none and his vocal style & range are both powerful and instantly recognizable. The spirited drumming of Grant Brooks compliments the blazing solos of Billy Grey and the rock star energy of bassist PJ Farley. These are five seasoned pros, whose electricity and charisma light up every stage they play on and every crowd they perform for. As a result, it’s no surprise that Fozzy has skyrocketed into one of the hottest rock acts in the world today.

The band inched up the ladder after releasing four progressively popular studio albums in the 2000’s. However, it was 2012’s “Sin And Bones”, which featured the hit single “Sandpaper” (over 4.6 MILLION views on YouTube) that found the band reaching a level of legitimacy that drew a mass audience to drink in their trademark heavy melodic groove. The album eventually reached #143 on the Billboard Top 200 Chart, but it was their next album, “Do You Wanna Start A War” (produced by Ward), released in the summer of 2014, that really blew the door open, debuting at #54 on Billboard and giving the band their first top 30 single in “Lights Go Out” which was blared in sports arenas nationwide.

But as much success as the band had enjoyed, nothing compared to the juggernaut of 2017’s “Judas” album. Released in May 2017, the aforementioned title track spent 5 weeks at NUMBER ONE on the highly influential ‘Big Uns Countdown’ on Sirius/XM’s Octane channel, amassed over 62 MILLION views for its video on YouTube, cracked the TOP 5 on the US Rock Radio Charts and is still heard by millions of fans worldwide weekly on TBS Network’s hugely popular “AEW Dynamite” program. The follow-up singles “Painless” hit Number 9 on the charts (11 MILLION views on YouTube), “Burn Me Out” peaked at Number 18. The current record “Boombox” features “Nowhere To Run” which cracked the Top Ten, “Sane”, (with its roller coaster themed video – one of the most thrilling & heart stopping ever made) landing at Number 8 followed by “I Still Burn” which peaked at #7, scoring a trifecta of singles for “Boombox” released May 6, 2022. Now, with those massive songs in their arsenal, Fozzy has returned to the road with tours in the US, UK, and Australia. After sharing the stage in recent years with Metallica, Kiss, Iron Maiden, Avenged Sevenfold, Shinedown, Slash, Three Days Grace, Nickelback, Steel Panther & Buckcherry, Fozzy is stoked to continue to bring good times and kick ass tunes to their fans around the world… and elsewhere! So get ready to experience the majesty and power of Fozzy LIVE once again and for Judas’ sake…please wear a helmet!

Fozzy is: Chris Jericho – vocals Rich Ward – guitars, vocals Grant Brooks – drums Billy Grey – guitars PJ Farley – bass

More on Seventh Day Slumber: As a consistent force in the music industry for nearly 20 years, Seventh Day Slumber still performs over 150 dates per year. The band has brought a fresh new feel to their signature sound, creating the heaviest and most powerful music of their career. The title track of their 2022 album “Death By Admiration” was co-written with Telle Smith and features The Word Alive. Produced by Memphis May Fire’s Kellen McGregor, “Death By Admiration” debuted at #69 on the Billboard Top 200 and landed a top 25 position on Billboards Mainstream Rock Chart. The energy and momentum of their latest release led to several nationwide tours, including direct support for Fozzy on their upcoming “Save The World Tour” and Saliva’s recent winter tour. The band is currently back in the studio with Kellen McGregor working on their follow-up album, “Feasting On Vultures,” slated to drop on September 22nd. Check out www.seventhdayslumber.com for tour dates.

More on The Nocturnal Affair: The Nocturnal Affair is an alternative/dark rock project headed by singer/songwriter Brendan Shane, from Las Vegas. The band’s crushing and melancholic musical style is an ode to darker alternative music torchbearers like Type O Negative, HIM, David Bowie, Gary Numan, and Nine Inch Nails. They capture a uniquely haunting sound steeped in downtrodden melodies enveloped in the darkness.

The band released their debut single, “Down”, on Earache Records in November of 2021, from their first album, (META)MORPHOSIS, which was produced by Grammy-nominated Disturbed bassist, John Moyer. To coincide with the release of the album in April of 2022, the band embarked on their first national tour opening for rock veterans, Fozzy. In the fall of 2022 The Nocturnal Affair hit the road again for shows with Beartooth, Gemini Syndrome, and Earshot. The group has performed alongside a wide array of artists from heavy metal heavyweights like HELLYEAH, Asking Alexandria, and Pop Evil, as well as Industrial rockers My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult. They have toured with the vampiric act The 69 Eyes while also being accessible enough to share the stage with notable mainstream acts like 3 Doors Down and Black Stone Cherry.

Their latest single “It’s No Good” is their take on Depeche Mode’s chart-topping hit from ‘97. An homage to some of the music that made Nocturnal who they are. To coincide with this release, The Nocturnal Affair embarked on Spring and Summer tours with both Fozzy and Smile Empty Soul, respectively. “It’s No Good” has been climbing the SMR charts, breaking the Top 20 in only a few weeks. A follow-up single and further national touring is projected for this Fall.

More on Magdalene Rose: Magdalene Rose is a powerhouse of raw talent and passion, known for her energetic vocals and powerful and catchy metal music. After starting out in the all-female rock band GFM, Magdalene has since gone on to make a name for herself with her solo project, backed by a group of insanely talented musicians. Magdalene Rose is a master of metal, with an infectious energy and a fiercely devoted fan base. Her highly successful single, Shark Spray, is out now.

If anybody can usher rock’s comeback along, it’s these three ladies. After exploding online with one viral moment after another, The Warning parlayed this momentum into a series of independent releases, including Escape the Mind EP [2015], XXI Century Blood [2017], and Queen of the Murder Scene [2019] before releasing their latest album ERROR [2022] via Lava/Republic.

Are you a band , musician or a musician’s manager planning to book a tour with your band?

Here re some tips and tricks on how to book tours.

If yes, and especially if this is your first time, then you might be thinking of how to go about it .

singer in front of a yellow van show in a touring attitude

That is not unusual, especially in today’s music industry where musicians have to do so much to advance their careers .

Those who have toured places with their bands know that the whole process is not as easy as many would want to think.

The first rule on how to book a tour: you have to expect the unexpected , and you have to be prepared for anything .

Lack of enough finances can be just one of the things you will be dealing with and will be forced to spend nights in dingy places that you would otherwise avoid.

But the secret to reducing the stress of touring with your band is to plan it earlier .

This post looks at tour booking for a music band.

Preparing for a band tour

For a long time you have been playing your music locally with your band , and now you want to start touring various places.

Before you start to think of how to book a tour, you first need to be well prepared for it.

Below are some of the things you need to do as preparation for a band tour.

Get enough experience from your hometown

Credibility and expertise are two key things that any band must have if they want to start touring various regions.

Without them, it is highly unlikely that any event organizer will even consider booking you.

You need to start playing music within your local hometown .

Local gigs are the best place to start , given that you will probably be entertaining people that already know about you.

It is in your hometown that you can get a chance to create the experience and credibility that you will need during national and international tours.

If you are new in the music industry and you don’t know how to book a tour, try to get as many local performances as you can , as this will build your confidence while on the stage as well as create more awareness about your music.

Create more awareness through press and media outlets

Another way to create awareness for your music is through press releases as well as media outlets.

You can start by asking for blogs , streaming services or local radios to play some of your music, especially during prime hours, when most of your audience is listening.

Step-by-step guide on how to prepare for the band tour

Step 1: decide on the date.

Booking a tour is not a mean job; it requires a lot of effort .

After being confident that you are ready for a tour, you will have to sit down and plan for it .

The first thing you will need to set is the date range; when do you want to tour?

Knowing the date that your tours will commence is crucial as it will help you prepare for it well in advance.

Note that booking a tour is tedious, and a time-frame of between 4-6 months will be reasonable.

Booking way ahead is essential as you will need time for contacting people, do follow-up work, and other related activities.

Also, there are those venues that you will have to book at least six months earlier .

Step 2: Decide on the tour route

The next thing that you need to decide on how to book a tour is the direction that you would like to go to .

This can be a tentative route, as you might want to make some adjustments later .

There are those cities that you will need to work extra hard for you to get a booking, while others might be a little easier.

When you choose the cities to play, sometimes big cities and capital cities look more attractive in the organizers’ minds, but there is a lot more competition there.

I t’s harder to book shows there and attract a huge crowd there : a lot of shows around and maybe some other more prominent bands are playing that night.

Often shows in small cities, colleges, private parties are the most exciting and fun , even you would not quote them as good on paper.

So much less competition , friendly people usually and you can be the guest star for one night and connect with other local musicians, promoters and venue owners.

After knowing everyone next time it will be easier to book another show at the same venue.

In choosing the route, you will also want to be sure of the distance that you will want to be driving per day .

The distance that you will cover will highly depend on the size of the city .

Smaller cities can be covered even within a day, but bigger ones will need more time.

If you need some days off , you can incorporate them as well.

Step 3: Contact venues or find the right local promoters

The next thing you need to do is to start contacting the venues where you will be performing.

Usually, you need to focus more on the venues that are found along your route, and only go for those outside the way if necessary.

You can find contacts for some of the venues online on websites for free.

Buying the details of these venues from reliable sources can also be the right way of getting contacts from the venues for you to book.

A mistake that most musicians do when contacting venues is to come up with one generic message and then send it to several venues .

Generic messages usually end up as spam , and thus you might end up getting minimal responses.

It’s fundamental that you also try to interact with local promoters.

Local promoters are usually the one that knows what the right venues for your kind of music are and they also know if you should use on or another Facebook group and to reach out to the right people.

At the same time, in your message, don’t try to answer the questions that might be on the mind of those who will be reading the messages.

Questions like “How will you make your money?” are irrelevant.

Step 4: Do a follow-up on the venues

When you find out how to book a tour, you need to follow-up on the venues you had booked.

This is important because some promoters usually change their minds of the location may be due to changes in the routes .

It might, therefore, work in your best interest if you contacted the venues and confirmed the dates of your booking.

Important tip:

As a follow-up, you can also ask the venues if there is anything they need from you, things like posters and other promotional materials , or your stage plan .

Step 5: Have a back-up plan

The chances are that your original plan may not go as smoothly as you had planned when you decide how to book a tour .

Maybe a venue you had already booked will cancel the performance, or perhaps the local authorities will have issues with your performance.

Whatever the reason, you need to have a back-up plan that will help you save the situation.

Touring a city with your band is expensive , and failing to perform even on a single day will make the whole book tour a loss on your side.

If a show you had planned fails to take place , you need to think of nearby towns where you can perform quickly .

Places like Craiglist, Yelp , and Google are some of the best places to find venues for your plan B.

Booking a tour for a band takes a lot of time, and without patience, you will end up not getting any booking.

As a musician, you need to invest a lot of time from your end for the tour to be successful .

You will need to be contacting venues from time to time, make follow-ups, save money for the event, research on the venues, and all that.

But the hard work is just at the beginning .

As you start touring many places consistently, you will be able to build relationships with promoters , and you will then not need to work so hard to get bookings.

‘Is She Sure?’ How the Breeders Joined Olivia Rodrigo’s Guts Tour.

The ’90s alt-rock icons hit the Madison Square Garden stage for the first time Friday night, after the 21-year-old pop star invited them to join her on the road.

By Jenn Pelly

Olivia Rodrigo remembers her life in two parts: before she heard the Breeders’ “Cannonball,” and after, she told the crowd at Madison Square Garden on Friday night, when her Guts World Tour arrived in New York.

And that is how the ’90s alt-rock idols came to play the New York arena for the first time last week, 31 years after that song from their platinum 1993 album, “Last Splash,” charted on Billboard’s Hot 100.

Rodrigo’s camp initially approached the Breeders in September about opening some dates on the tour supporting her second album, “Guts .” “My first reaction was, Wow, that seems kind of odd,” the band’s bassist, Josephine Wiggs, said in an interview. “But after I’d thought about it for a while, I thought, ‘That’s actually really genius.’”

Kim Deal, the singer-guitarist who leads the band with her twin sister, Kelley, said she was surprised when they got the invite. “I’d heard ‘Drivers License,’ and I liked that a lot,” she said, referring to Rodrigo’s breakout 2021 smash.

Kelley wondered if it might be a mistake. “I thought, ‘Is she sure? Do they really mean us?’”

But Rodrigo made her enthusiasm clear when the shows were confirmed, reaching out personally to share her excitement. “She texted each one of us individually,” Kelley recalled.

“And said, ‘Really happy to hear that you’re going to do this,’” Wiggs added. “Very classy.”

Aside from Kim, who played Madison Square Garden in 1992 when her earlier band, Pixies, opened for U2, no one in the group had ever performed at the venue before. Kim hadn’t been back since, and said she had no memory of that previous gig: “I usually remember the bad shows, so it’s a good thing that I really don’t remember that one.”

With the first date in the books, the Breeders spent part of Saturday afternoon glimpsing Rodrigo’s soundcheck — she was belting “Ballad of a Homeschooled Girl” to an empty arena — and then briefly chatting with her. “So easy to talk to!” Kim reported as the Breeders headed up to the stage to adjust their own amps and pedals. The lights were up; two men vacuumed the previous night’s pink and purple star-shaped confetti.

“How about we do a piece of ‘Cannonball,’ like when everything comes in?” Kim asked the band, which also includes the drummer Jim Macpherson. They had already tested the distorted ahh-ooohh-ahh vocalizations that open the song. Kim blew a whistle to emulate the record’s microphone feedback.

Rodrigo was born a decade after the release of “Cannonball,” but the 21-year-old heard it as a teenager and remembers “instantly falling in love with the Breeders,” she wrote in an email. “I thought Kim was the coolest girl in the world,” Rodrigo said. “I’m very inspired by them and everything they stand for. They are absolutely iconic, and playing these shows with them has been a surreal honor.” (The Breeders have joined the tour for four shows at the Garden that wrap on Tuesday, and four more at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles later this summer.)

Mischief, wryness, confidence and camaraderie feel encoded into the poised riffs and bass line of “Cannonball,” and it’s easy to imagine girls gently headbanging along to it for eternity. Rodrigo went louder and crunchier on “Guts,” long inspired by artists who are “not trying to recreate a version of rock music that guys make,” as she told The New York Times last year.

Soundcheck proceeded like a supercut. “Should we do half of ‘Do You Love Me Now’?” Kim asked before crashing the song open and letting its twin harmonies ring out. “A little piece of ‘Drivin’ on 9’?” signaling the aching country tune. “Should we throw in ‘Gigantic’?” Kim asked before unleashing the titanic anthem she co-wrote and sang as a member of Pixies. (She dedicated its “big, big love” to Rodrigo during the show.)

Earlier, the band sat in a green room processing its Guts experience so far. Kelley had been impressed by the emotional arc of Rodrigo’s songs the previous night. “I was texting somebody, ‘I’m so empowered right now!’” She later reached out to praise Rodrigo’s voice as “really special,” observing, “Her tone and control are spectacular!”

“She performs with a really good sense of humor,” Kim added.

Wiggs said she could hear some Breeders commonalties in a Rodrigo chord progression, while Macpherson detected a bit of the band in “Jealousy, Jealousy,” from her first album, “Sour.” “The bass riff was almost like a ‘Hag,’ ‘Hellbound’ -ish kind of thing,” he said.

The Breeders expressed shock at how young Rodrigo’s fans were, and the collective decibel of their screams on Friday night. “You’re going to be surprised by how loud it was,” Kelley said. Weren’t their own amps loud, too? “Not louder than 30,000 tweens,” she said.

Kim roasted her bandmates for withholding stage banter the night before. “Looking out at the sea of 7- and 8-year-olds, I had no idea what to say,” Wiggs said, deadpan. “I could just about manage to say something to people who are obviously teenagers. I was like, OK, maybe I’ll try to make eye contact with the dads.”

The Deal sisters are no strangers to parental accompaniment at gigs. “My dad used to have Ray Charles in his headphones, watching us play, when he drove us around in the r.v. with Nirvana,” Kim said, referring to the band’s 1992 tour with what was then the biggest band on Earth. “He’d have his cassette Walkman,” Kelley added. “He was a big supporter, but he’d heard us a million times.”

In Kurt Cobain’s liner notes to Nirvana’s 1992 compilation “Incesticide,” he detailed the recent life experiences that had meant the most to him since “becoming an untouchable boy genius,” including “playing with the Breeders” on the list. “Nirvana and Foo Fighters would really curate their opening bands, which is I think what Olivia is doing in a way, curating new music that she wants fans to get to know,” Kelley said.

Most of the young people watching from the front rows on Saturday were not familiar with the Breeders — who are all in their 50s and 60s — though there were exceptions. “My parents know who they are!” exclaimed an 18-year-old fan named Mack. “My dad said they had some jams back when he was younger. He didn’t know if I would like them, but I trust Olivia.”

Another fan, Elle, 16, was with her father, who saw the Breeders at Lollapalooza alongside Smashing Pumpkins and the Beastie Boys. “For me, this was really cool,” he said. “I don’t know the tour’s other openers as well, but I’ve loved the Breeders since ’94 when I saw them last.”

Rodrigo’s fans were decked out in sparkling skirts, purple bows and platform boots in honor of their heroine, who took the stage in a series of short, glittering skirts. The Breeders are known for more understated sartorial choices. Had they given any thought about to what to wear?

“I sent out a ‘help’ text to a friend of mine,” Kelley admitted. “I said, I’m trying to upgrade my look from my T-shirt and jeans that I typically wear, but staying in my comfort zone. He said, ‘I find glitter or sequins to always be the answer.’ I just waited for him to laugh or something. That was no help to me at all. So I went with a T-shirt and jeans.”

“Like she’s been dressing since seventh grade,” Kim said.

“We’ve been burnt out before and then you’re like, ‘I still got 20 more shows on this tour,” he explained. “So we all have our own perspective ways of going about that, and we just make sure that that’s prioritized and also that we think the three of us are communicating as best as we can.”

The singer added that performing “doesn’t feel like work” when it’s in front of the band’s fans. “We’re treating this like the best tour we’ve ever done,” he said. “And I think we intend to make it that experience for fans as well.”

How Milwaukee Brewers' American Family Field became one of country's top concert stadiums

In 2023, American Family Field had its biggest year ever for concerts — and it was one of the top-grossing stadiums for concerts in the world.

It may be the new normal.

After hosting four concerts last year — including the first two-night stadium run ever in Milwaukee, with Morgan Wallen, and shows with George Strait and Pink that both broke attendance records — American Family Field is ready to host four more in 2024.

The first two are April 12 and 13, the stadium tour kickoff for country superstar Luke Combs. Kenny Chesney returns in June, this time with Zac Brown Band ; and Green Day is coming in August with the Smashing Pumpkins.

Going forward, depending on routing and the teams' schedule, the Brewers could book four to six major tours a year, predicted Jason Hartlund, who oversees concerts at the stadium as executive vice president — chief commercial officer for the Brewers.

“We’ve really bent over backwards for artists and production teams to be as hospitable and as easy a process (to stage a concert) as possible,” Hartlund said. “That reputation is starting to get out into the marketplace. It’s helped us.”

Last year, it helped 43,000-seat American Family Field become the 19th top-grossing stadium for concerts in the United States, and 35th in the world, according to concert trade magazine Pollstar, ranking prominently among football stadiums with larger seating capacities. The stadium sold 178,107 concert tickets, collectively grossing $35.4 million.

It's a remarkable development for a 23-year-old stadium in a market Milwaukee's size, especially since there are two stadiums in must-play Chicago — the Cubs' Wrigley Field and the Bears' home field (for now), Soldier Field — that routinely draw Milwaukee fans for shows.

But between the growth of the stadium tour sector of the concert industry — and the $500 million stadium funding bill signed into law by Gov. Tony Evers last December — American Family Field's future as a live music destination is promising.

"Philosophically, when we enter into an agreement with a sports team or stadium, we want to know that they want to be good partners," said Charlie Goldstone, co-president of Live Nation-backed Madison promoter FPC Live, which handled the Pink and Wallen concerts last year and is promoting Green Day's this year.

"It's more than just financial. Will they help promote the shows? Will the team be amenable to uses of the field and the locker rooms? When an artist gets there will they feel welcome? … With the Brewers, the answer is always yes."

Years with few concerts at the Milwaukee Brewers' ballpark

For much of the stadium's existence, a big concert each year wasn't a guarantee. After it opened in 2001, Miller Park (renamed American Family Field in 2021) nabbed a few tours its first few years, including Strait, *NSYNC and Bruce Springsteen.

But after 2003, the stadium went a decade without hosting tours, although there were some special events, including Farm Aid in 2010, and birthday bashes for Harley-Davidson and Miller Brewing.

Then in 2013, Kenny Chesney headlined a stadium tour stop at Miller Park for the first time, the beginning of what's become a fruitful relationship with one of the stadium's most reliable promoters, the Messina Touring Group.

In addition to Chesney's headlining shows at the Brewers ballpark in 2016, 2018, 2022 and now this year, Messina brought Ed Sheeran to the stadium in 2018. The promoter also was responsible for Eric Church's second stadium-headlining show ever in 2022, and for the Strait show last year — one of only eight dates the country legend did in 2023 with Chris Stapleton.

In an interview with the Journal Sentinel last year, Louis Messina, head of AEG-backed Messina Touring Group, said doing shows at the stadium was "comfortable" and that the venue itself was "fan-friendly."

"Some stadiums, it's like pulling teeth to do a show there. In Milwaukee, it's not like that," Messina said. "From the top with management all the way down to the groundskeepers, they work with us and make it easy for us to produce shows."

"We're not just another tenant in the building. … That's really important, not only to me and the artists but to my team, box office people, production people — everybody."

After Chesney broke the tour drought, Live Nation, the world's largest concert promoter, put Paul McCartney and One Direction shows in the stadium, in 2013 and 2015.

A gamechanger for Wisconsin concerts in 2018

Then in 2018, Live Nation became a majority stakeholder of long-running Madison promoter Frank Productions, parent to FPC Live — and the Brewers took notice.

"The ballpark said they wanted to be in business, and it opened up a new level of shows that were not coming to the state," FPC Live co-president Scott Leslie said. By that time, touring was a rapidly growing business at other ballparks, Leslie noted, including Wrigley Field and Fenway Park in Boston.

"The Brewers saw that this was being done successfully among their peers, so why not them?" Leslie said.

FPC Live brought the only Billy Joel Midwestern concert of 2019 to American Family Field, and a Motley Crue, Def Leppard, Poison and Joan Jett package to the ballpark in 2022. Aside from when the pandemic derailed the touring industry for most of 2020 and much of 2021, the ballpark has hosted at least one stadium tour every year since 2018, and nearly all of them have been at capacity.

"Success breeds success," Hartlund said. "Where artists may have been hesitant to come to the Milwaukee market in the past, we have a catalog of success that tours can play Chicago and Milwaukee. … And because we have had success with shows in the past people are getting more comfortable moving off weekends."

Last year's Pink show at American Family Field, for instance, was on a Monday — and it stopped at Wrigley Field the prior Saturday. But the Milwaukee date was still a smash, with Pink breaking an attendance record at the stadium, performing for 46,644 people.

Leslie suggests that Pink's past success in the market — her Fiserv Forum show in 2019 was the top-grossing concert at the arena that year — likely gave her team more confidence to book a show in the city's biggest venue.

"With Fiserv Forum, there's a brand-new arena with a high volume of really amazing shows that let the market open up in a bigger way," FPC Live's Goldstone said.

The $524 million Milwaukee Bucks arena opened in 2018, bringing more shows nearly every year than the Bradley Center ever did during a single year. And the American Family Insurance Amphitheater at Maier Festival Park has seen a surge of shows, too, following a $51.3 million renovation, reaching its highest volume since 2004. And even though the amphitheater has nabbed some tour dates routed through other stadiums, Hartlund suggests their booking ability has benefited.

"The rising tide lifts all ships," Hartlund said. "Having a new arena is great for the city, having a revamped American Family Insurance Amphitheater at Summerfest is fantastic. The more shows we put in here, the better."

Stadium concert tours are surging around the world

Hartlund says the Brewers have been more aggressive about concert bookings coming out of the pandemic, driven not just by a desire to grow non-baseball revenue, but a growing comfort that field conditions won't be affected by more events.

And there are significantly more events at stadiums around the globe, which the Brewers are also benefiting from. Grosses from the world’s top 100 stadiums for concerts were up 35% in 2023 to $3.62 billion, according to Pollstar. The number of tickets sold for those tours also increased 22.2% to 29.1 million.

Since touring resumed after the pandemic, Dave Brooks, senior director of live and touring for Billboard, estimates that at least an artist or two in different genres, including country, pop and Latin music, have been able to rise up to the stadium level every year, while some artists have experimented with packages to help fill stadium seats, like Chesney is doing with Zac Brown Band and Green Day with the Pumpkins.

"The financial incentives are obvious," Brooks said. "You can get a much larger audience for the fraction of the price it costs you to do multiple arena shows. The costs are somewhat higher for a stadium concert than an arena show, but the increase in attendance is like double depending on how big the stadium is, and you can make almost double the money."

Promoters also like the "huge consumer marketing databases" that MLB and NFL teams have from selling tickets to their games to help them sell shows, Brooks continued, and fans have shown with their wallets that they don't mind the stadium concert experience.

"The use of video boards and technology makes the concert feel more intimate," Brooks said of more recent stadium tours.

New stadium developments could lead to more concerts

Hartlund is hopeful that the Brewers' new centerfield scoreboard — one of the largest in Major League Baseball — will appeal to some promoters. As of the Journal Sentinel interview, he was unsure if any tours would use the scoreboard this year, but Strait and Stapleton did last year.

And while the team's new QR code-based parking payment system was temporarily suspended due to technical issues for opening day — and will not be in operation for the Combs shows — Hartlund said that, when it's up and running, it will cut down on backups into the ballpark. Traffic into the park has triggered some backlash in the past, most notably for Sheeran's show in 2018, prompting the team to issue an apology.

And then there's the $500 million public-funding plan for the ballpark to support long-term renovations and improvements, which will include "winterizing" the venue so it could operate beyond its typical April-to-October timeframe.

The stadium's retractable roof has already been an asset — Hartlund suggests it was a key reason why Combs opted to kick off the tour there this year — but following renovations, American Family Field theoretically could host concerts in March or November.

And yes, some stadium tours have been routed through the Midwest in November; Stapleton and Strait played the indoor U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis in November 2021, and Joel played the NFL stadium with Stevie Nicks last November.

"Promoters are aware of the plan for that to take place," Hartlund said, although a definitive timeline has yet to be set. "It's all about the comfort levels for the artist and the fans. If the building is winterized and heated to appropriate levels, it's no different from an arena show in November or March."

Aerosmith announces farewell tour return, new date for Boston concert

Aerosmith announced this week that its “Peace Out” farewell tour is set to resume in September.

The tour went on hiatus last fall and was indefinitely postponed while lead singer Steven Tyler recovered from damaged vocal cords and a fractured larynx.

“Unfortunately, Steven’s vocal injury is more serious than initially thought,” the band wrote in a social media post announcing the postponement. “As a result, all the currently scheduled PEACE OUT shows must be postponed to sometime in 2024, with new dates to be announced as soon as we know more.”

The band will kick off its return to the road with two newly added shows in Pennsylvania, first at the PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh on Sept. 20, followed by a show at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia on Sept. 23. Rockers The Black Crowes are also joining Aerosmith on tour as special guests.

After last year’s New Year’s Eve performance was postponed, Aerosmith’s holiday homecoming stop in Boston will now take place on Dec. 31 at TD Garden, with what is billed as “an electrifying show of Aerosmith’s groundbreaking hits performed in an immersive 360° production as they celebrate 50 years as America’s greatest rock band,” according to a press release.

Guitarist Joe Perry previously promised a return to the road in an interview with the Globe last winter.

“But with any luck we will be back out late summer and fall of 24,” Perry said. “And there’s always next New Year’s Eve! Stay tuned for that.”

Alongside the previously announced tour schedule, Aerosmith plans to make an extra stop in Florida at the Kia Center in Orlando on Feb. 11. The tour wraps with a final set in Buffalo, N.Y. at the KeyBank Center on Feb. 25.

All previously purchased tickets will be honored for the rescheduled shows, and tickets for the rescheduled dates and newly added shows go on sale on Friday at 10 a.m. on ticketmaster.com .

Bruce Springsteen, 74, Shows Off New Haircut in Shirtless Photo (He Goes to Jennifer Aniston's Stylist!)

Turns out, The Boss was born to thirst trap

Brittany Talarico is PEOPLE's Deputy Style Director, where she oversees the brand's digital Style and Beauty coverage. This includes running lead on the Met Gala, which is among PEOPLE.com's top-trafficked red carpet events every year, interviewing the industry's top influencers (including all the Kardashian-Jenners), and breaking A-list celeb news (a New Jersey shore native, it is no surprise that her favorite interview ever was with Bruce Springsteen). Brittany is a style contributor to People Every Day Podcast and has represented the brand on national TV programs including Good Morning America and The CW's two TV specials on the British Royals. She joined PEOPLE from Cosmopolitan in 2013, where she was an Associate Editor.

Chris McMillan/Instagram

Bruce Springsteen 's new haircut has us on fire.

The Boss paid a visit to his longtime stylist Chris McMillan (who also happens to be Jennifer Aniston's pro and one of the top stylists in Hollywood), while out on the California leg of his 2024 world tour. (Springsteen and the E Street Band just finished stops in San Francisco, San Diego and Los Angeles' Inglewood neighborhood.)

McMillan shared photos of the their reunion on Instagram , including one of Springsteen, 74, shirtless with his fresh haircut on full display. The silver fox stayed true to his rock star pompadour, cleaning up the edges just a bit and keep length at the top.

"Fresh cut for the boss! @springsteen ," captioned the Instagram gallery, which also included photos of Springsteen performing on stage.

Springsteen's wife Patti Scialfa and daughter Jessica are also loyal clients of McMillan.

During the pandemic, Scialfa took on the role of her husband's hair stylist.

"Gave my man his first quarantine cut," she wrote alongside an Instagram photo in the spring of 2020, in which she proudly holds up some scissors next to her, once again, shirtless husband.

She also revealed that McMillan talked her through the cut at the time.

"Hey Chris McMillan working on being a badass with the scissors.... thanks for sending the instructions and the clippers!!!" she wrote, adding that she also was styling her own hair. "Also I had just finished dyeing my hair!! We have the beauty truck in action at Stone Hill Farm!!!!! ✂️✂️✂️✂️." Springsteen and Aniston are just two of McMillan's A-list clients. He just chopped Gigi Hadid's new bob and gave Denise Richards curtain bangs .

In March, Springsteen resumed his world tour with the E Street Band after postponing several of his 2023 dates due to peptic ulcer disease .

Ahead of his 29-song set, the 20-time Grammy winner addressed the illness before starting his final track, "I'll See You in My Dreams."

"Phoenix, first I want to apologize if there was any discomfort because we had to move the show last time. . . . I hope we didn’t inconvenience you too much," he told the crowd.

Legendary rock band announces new tour dates after singer’s injury

A fractured larynx and vocal cord damage are no joke for a hard-rock singer to recover from. Especially a 76-year-old frontman with a still-big voice, like Steven Tyler .

Nearly a year after Aerosmith put the brakes on a long-gestating farewell tour just a few shows in after Tyler injured his voice during a Sept. 9, 2023 show at a New York arena, the band’s about to be, ahem, back in the saddle.

The “Peace Out Tour” will resume September 20 in Pittsburgh. The 40-date arena tour runs through February 26 in Buffalo and includes a New Year’s Eve show in the band’s hometown of Boston. Complete list of tour dates at aerosmith.com .

Aerosmith’s decades of hits include “Dream On,” “Walk This Way,” “Sweet Emotion,” “Back in the Saddle,” “Janie’s Got A Gun,” “Crazy” and “I Don’t Want To Miss A Thing.”

The band features Tyler, guitarists Joe Perry and Brad Whitford and bassist Tom Hamilton.

Unlike many classic rock groups, Aerosmith’s original lineup remained intact through most of their history. However in recent years, original drummer Joey Kramer has been replaced onstage by John Douglas, Kramer’s former drum tech. Buck Johnson , an Alabama native who also tours with Brother Cane and Hollywood Vampires, is Aerosmith’s touring keyboardist/backing vocalist .

Blues-rockers The Black Crowes , known for ‘90s hits like “Jealous Again” and “Remedy,” are the support act for all dates of Aerosmith’s “Peace Out Tour.”

Jennifer Lopez Quietly Rebrands Tour as Greatest Hits Show Amid Weak Ticket Sales

After canceling seven dates of her first North American tour in five years amid weak ticket sales, Jennifer Lopez has renamed it to apparently broaden its scope, changing it from “This Is Me… Now” to “This Is Me… Live | The Greatest Hits.”

Requests for comment from Lopez’s reps and Live Nation, which is producing the tour, went unanswered. Live Nation’s site hasn’t been updated to reflect the tour’s name change, but it does have conflicting titles on Lopez’s listings, including “This Is Me… Live” and “This Is Me… Now The Tour.” While some venues hosting Lopez’s performances haven’t changed the original listings on their respective sites, there are a few instances confirming the rebrand, for shows at Palm Springs’ Acrisure Arena and Inglewood’s The Forum . A sponsored Facebook ad from Lopez also features a graphic with the new title.

Upon release in February, “This Is Me… Now” struggled to find an audience, selling 14,000 copies in its first week. While the album did debut atop the Billboard Top Album Sales Chart due to 11,000 in physical sales, it arrived at No. 38 on the Billboard 200, becoming the second of her nine studio albums to bow outside the top 10.

The album was one part of a self-financed $20 million multimedia project including the tour and the two films, “This Is Me…Now: A Love Story,” and a documentary, “The Greatest Love Story Never Told.” Variety described the endeavor as an examination of “Lopez’s life as a serial romantic” following her romantic rekindling with actor Ben Affleck, who she married in 2022 after nearly two decades apart.
