Born in St. Louis and raised in Maplewood, NJ, genre-defying, and GRAMMY Award winning recording artist SZA released her major label debut album Ctrl (TDE/RCA) in 2017. Revered for its raw and honest lyrics, it landed at No. 1 on Billboard ’s R&B Albums chart, No. 2 on the R&B/Hip Hop Albums chart and No. 3 on the Billboard 200 chart, according to Nielsen Music. The now RIAA-certified 3xPlatinum album received five Grammy nominations in 2018 and more than half the songs on Ctrl are currently certified multi-Platinum and Gold. Ctrl remains on the Billboard 200 chart since its release in 2017 and holds the record for the longest run for any Black female artist’s debut album. In 2022 alone it sold over 600,000 units and is the 10th best-selling female album this year in the country and 50th best-selling album in 2022 overall.

SZA has won various awards since the release of Ctrl including a 2022 GRAMMY Award for Best Pop Dou/Group Performance for “Kiss Me More” with Doja Cat, Billboard Music Awards’ Top R&B Female Artist, BET Awards’ Best New Artist, BET Soul Train Awards’ Best R&B/Soul Female Artist and Best New Artist, MTV Video Music Awards’ Best Visual Effects for the “All The Stars” with Kendrick Lamar, and NAACP Image Awards’ Outstanding New Artist. In 2019, she won NAACP Image Awards’ Outstanding Duo or Group for “All The Stars” with Kendrick Lamar and Outstanding Soundtrack/Compilation for the Black Panther Soundtrack . SZA also received Billboard’s 2019 Women in Music Rule Breaker award.

To this day, SZA continues to set the standard on creativity and songwriting, while shattering records with over 7.2 billion streams worldwide across all platforms. To close out the trying year of 2020, SZA gifted fans on Christmas Day with the hopeful track “Good Days.” Grammy-nominated for Best R&B Song, the single quickly became SZA’s greatest gainer solo single release, peaking at #9 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and marking her first time in the chart’s top ten as the main artist. December 2021, SZA scored her second lead artist top 10 on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart with the official release of “I Hate U,” which debuted at #7. The song also entered at #1 on both Spotify and Apple Music US charts and broke the record for the most streamed R&B song by a female artist on Apple Music in its first week.  “Shirt,” her most recent single has garnered over 60 million streams globally since its release in October. SZA’s long-awaited new album SOS includes features by Travis Scott, Don Toliver, Phoebe Bridgers and Ol’ Dirty Bastard; with production by Ctrl hitmaking collaborators ThankGod4Cody and Carter Lang, alongside Jeff Bhasker, Rob Bisel, Benny Blanco, Kenny “Babyface” Edmonds, Emile Haynie, Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins, Jay Versace, and more.

Recent tour reviews

I saw her last night in San Antonio, TX, it was my daughter first concert, and she did not disappoint. She is amazing live! Well worth the money spent. From the settings to the chorography her team did a fantastic job. The concert kept us on our feet the entire time. I will defiantly go see her again when she returns.

Report as inappropriate

Truly amazing! Her performance was full of heaps of energy and soul. A beautiful mixture of singing, dancing and a quick preview of her of her acrobatic skills! One of the best musicians to see in concert. Would be darn near impossible to not sway and jump when she's on stage. I've waited so long to see her and she did not disappoint. Really hope to see SZA in London more!!!

Amazing show! Sza sounded amazing! She looked like she was having an awesome time while performing and the crowd loved her. The energy in the venue was hella dope! At one point she instructed security to find any cases of water around to pass out to the people on the floor, saying "get the cases from the tour bus." I thought that was super cool of her.

UBER ZONE FAQs:

What is the Uber Zone (Lot E) at the United Center? To increase and streamline the fan experience for guests who take Uber to and from the United Center, the new Uber Zone is located at the corner of Madison Street and Wood Street (Lot E) and will combine the three former Uber locations around the arena. Traffic leading to the three prior Uber pickup locations 1) Zone A, previously located on Wood Street & Washington Blvd. near Lot A, 2) Zone D, previously located on Monroe Street & S. Paulina Street near Lot D and 3) Zone F, previously located on Monroe Street & Seeley Ave. near Lot F will now be directed towards the one new Uber Zone in Lot E.

On non-event days, the Uber Zone will be closed and Uber rides will be dropped off near the corner of Madison Street and Wood Street outside of the Uber Zone.

• Depeche Mode

Aussie Depeche Mode fans are an incredibly patient bunch. The last time the British synth-pop titans toured the country was in 1994, meaning nearly three decades have passed since they last paid us a visit. But good things come to those who wait, and it seems there is a glimmer of hope for those hoping to catch the band Down Under.

• READ MORE: Depeche Mode: every single album ranked and rated

In March 2023, Depeche Mode’s Dave Gahan told an Italian blog that the band were eyeing “as-yet-unannounced dates in Asia and Australia” as part of a touring run that would lead into 2024. The band have toured the world in support of their latest album, ‘Memento Mori’ , and a trip to Australia to cap off the jaunt seems more likely than ever.

Footage Of SZA Fleeing Her Melbourne Concert To Avoid A $250K Fine Has Taken CTRL Of TikTok

Michael Di Iorio

SZA (whose real name is Solána Imani Rowe), performed her second Melbourne concert last night to a packed out Rod Laver Arena.

As the concert (which began around 9) came to a close, SZA yelled out to the crowd that she had to rush off the stage before 11pm, lest she be slapped by the mighty hand of Melbourne with a $250,000 fine.

“OK they’re gonna fine me! I love you,” she said.

“I have to go, I have to go!”

The 11pm curfew rule was established by the Environment Protection Authority, and attempts to reduce noise pollution in the city.

SZA could then be seen selecting people from the front rows to receive free tickets to tonight’s show, her third in the arena.

“Just grab people from the side and give them free tickets for tomorrow!” she said to security.

In the TikTok below you can actually see the time SZA left the stage, which was 10:59pm on the dot. That’s some crazy good timing on her end. Then again I expected nothing less from the queen .

During the concert, SZA was also heard reprimanding the audience for throwing things such as headphones and mobile phones onto the stage.

“I will leave,” she said to a member of the audience who threw something at her.

“Do not throw up any cell phones, I’m a person. That’s crazy.”

I’m not exactly sure what SZA is going to do with your cheap mobile phone from South Yarra, but keep it in your pocket please.

Thankfully the audience listened after the first time and the concert went smoothly from there on.

SZA will play her third and last Melbourne show tonight, and if there is anything we can learn from this, it’s that the concert WILL end before 11pm, but if you throw shit on stage, even earlier.

From Jelly Roll to Noah Kahan, 15 top concerts to see in Milwaukee this summer

Ok, sure, the first day of summer isn’t technically until June 20.

But I just can’t wait for it to get here — especially when I look at the concert calendar in Milwaukee.

There’ll be Summerfest, of course, plus dozens of other festivals and an overflowing slate of shows at Fiserv Forum, area amphitheaters, theaters and clubs. And no doubt there are several other tours coming to town before September that haven't been announced yet.

But as things stand now, picking the top Milwaukee summer concerts of 2024 is already a difficult proposition. Still, I took a crack at it, selecting five concert picks each for this June, July and August.

Top 5 Milwaukee concerts this June

5. kenny chesney and zac brown band.

Over the past decade, Chesney and Zac Brown Band became two of Milwaukee's most frequent major venue performers. But for the first time they're teaming up for a show at the Brewers ballpark where they'll no doubt pay tribute to another Milwaukee concert favorite and their friend and muse, the late Jimmy Buffett. Plus they'll share the stage with up-and-comer Megan Moroney, who recently scored more Academy of Country Music Award nominations than any female artist.

When, where, prices: 5 p.m. June 22, American Family Field, One Brewers Way. $50 to $356 at the box office and brewers.com/chesney .

Jeff Tweedy and company made the trip up 1-94 from Chicago to the Riverside Theater in 2014 to celebrate their 20th anniversary. Now for the 30th anniversary of the band's run, they've got a bunch of new acclaimed music to show for it, including alt-country double album "Cruel Country," and last year's "Cousin," both new releases since their last show in town at Summerfest in 2021.

When, where, prices: 7:30 p.m. June 12, Riverside Theater, 116 W. Wisconsin Ave. $45.95 to $65.95 at the door and through the Pabst.

3. Maggie Rogers

The indie pop artist played Milwaukee just last year, but circumstances have noticeably changed, with Rogers receiving some of the greatest reviews of her career for recently-released third album "Don't Forget Me," which led to Rogers' first arena tour this fall. But before she plays such large venues, she'll play a comparatively smaller one in Milwaukee at the BMO Pavilion.

When, where, prices : 7:30 p.m. June 8, BMO Pavilion, Maier Festival Park. $59.13 to $106.88 at the box office and bmopavilion.com .

2. T-Pain's Wiscansin Fest

Hip-hop fans are going to have a hot June, between Summerfest's offerings and the second Milwaukee-area installment of the Tacos and Tequila Festival, this time led by Ludacris and T.I., at Franklin Field. But my pick for the best hip-hop showcase of the season remains T-Pain's Wiscansin Fest. Now in its third year in Wisconsin, T-Pain will take over the entire Rave compound with contemporaries like Akon, Soulja Boy and Ying Yang Twins; EDM artist Dillon Francis; breakout Milwaukee lowend rapper Myaap; plus at least 10 other acts.

When, where, prices : 3 p.m. June 8, the Rave, 2401 W. Wisconsin Ave. Sold out. Resale tickets currently start at $65 at stubhub.com .

Keep an eye out for my guide to top shows at Summerfest in June, but I already know, of some 600 acts scheduled to play the Big Gig, which artist I'm most excited about. Few artists are as big of a sensation as SZA right now, whose long-delayed sophomore album "SOS" managed to be one both one of the most critically acclaimed albums of the 2020s and one of the most successful, thanks to smash hits like "Kill Bill" and "Snooze." Now at the peak of her popularity, she's coming to Summerfest to make her Milwaukee debut.

When, where, prices: 7:30 p.m. June 22, American Family Insurance Amphitheater, Summerfest, Maier Festival Park, 200 N. Harbor Dr. $130.78 to $285. 51 at the box office and summerfest.com . Tickets include Summerfest general admission on June 22.

Top 5 Milwaukee concerts this July

5. noah kahan.

A little less than a year ago, Noah Kahan drew one of the largest crowds ever for a side stage show at Summerfest. He's become immensely more popular since then, with his fandom continuing to climb thanks to the ongoing popularity of his folk pop album "Stick Season," with A-listers like Zach Bryan, Hozier, Post Malone and Olivia Rodrigo teaming up for collaborations.

When, where, prices: 8 p.m. July 13, Alpine Valley Music Theatre , 2699 County Road D, East Troy. $379.27 to $492 at livenation.com .

4. Grupo Firme

Perhaps more than any single show, this year in Milwaukee's concert history might be remembered most as a game-changing time for Latin shows in the city. Milwaukee arenas and amphitheaters tend to host Spanish-language concerts pretty sporadically, but thanks to the rise of Latin music streaming, Milwaukee will see four exclusively Spanish-language concerts this May through August at Fiserv Forum. Then there's this show at the American Family Insurance Amphitheater from one of the most popular banda groups in recent years, to the point that on their 2022 tour, they filled stadiums.

When, where, prices: 8 p.m. July 13, American Family Insurance Amphitheater, Maier Festival Park. $85.08 to $699.63 at the box office and amfamamp.com .

3. Alanis Morissette

Milwaukee fans had to wait 14 years for Alanis Morissette to return to town in 2022. They won't have to wait so long this time. Hits from her landmark album "Jagged Little Pill" will again be a focal point, but the openers are an exciting incentive to get a ticket: seminal rocker Joan Jett with her band the Blackhearts, plus exemplary country singer-songwriter Morgan Wade.

When, where, prices: 7 p.m. July 28, American Family Insurance Amphitheater. $44.94 to $592.35.

2. Jelly Roll

The talent buyers from the Harley-Davidson Fest sure did a heck of a job this year, nabbing my two top concert picks for July. First up July 26 is Jelly Roll, the troubled Tennessee youth and felon turned rapper turned country star. His story of survival, matched with uplifting and heart-wrenching music, drew plenty of tears at the American Family Insurance Amphitheater last summer — including from Jelly Roll himself — resulting in one of my favorite concerts of 2023.

When, where, prices: 9:30 p.m. July 26, Willie G. Davidson Stage, Harley-Davidson Homecoming Festival, Veterans Park, 1010 N. Lincoln Memorial Dr. $125 to $325 for single-day tickets at hdhomecoming.com . $200 to $500 for two-day tickets.

1. Red Hot Chili Peppers

The Veterans Park portion of the Harley-Davidson Homecoming will conclude with the Red Hot Chili Peppers. The group will take a pause from their stadium gigs to play Milwaukee for the first time since reuniting with their most beloved guitarist, John Frusciante, after a decade-long absence.

When, where, prices: 9:15 p.m. July 27, Willie G. Davidson Stage, Harley-Davidson Homecoming Festival, Veterans Park.

Top 5 Milwaukee concerts this August

There's an abundance of major concerts to choose from in Milwaukee this summer, but make some time to check out some local artists and club shows. Or with Reyna, you can do both at once. The sister act - among the finest pop songwriters not just in Milwaukee, but I'd argue, across the country - will get to play Milwaukee's newest venue Vivarium for the first time. And their opening act: none other than themselves, with a rare performance of winning songs from their previous band, Vic and Gab.

When, where, prices: 8 p.m. Aug. 17, Vivarium, 1818 N. Farwell Ave. $18 to $20 at the door and through the Pabst.

Perhaps no classic rocker's voice has aged as gracefully as Ann Wilson, whose pipes were as powerful as ever when Heart last played Milwaukee in 2019. Her sister Nancy will be on hand to offer the immortal guitar licks of "Barracuda" and other hits, and Heart will be in grand company with fellow Rock and Roll Hall of Famers Cheap Trick as their opening act.

When, where, prices: 8 p.m. Aug. 15, Fiserv Forum, 1111 N. Phillips Ave. $44.50 to $563.25 at the box office and fiservforum.com .

3. Barry Manilow

Two months after celebrating his 81st birthday in June, Manilow is doing a short tour of eight cities, where he'll sing "Copacabana," "Mandy" and his other standards for the last time in those towns — including Milwaukee.

When, where, prices: 7 p.m. Aug. 3, Fiserv Forum. $84.50 to $703.50.

2. Vampire Weekend

Critical darlings for their entire career, Vampire Weekend made a dramatic improvement to their live shows behind their fourth album "Father of the Bride," nearly doubling the number of musicians on stage and embracing killer Grateful Dead-style jamming. A larger band set-up is still intact for the latest tour behind yet another well-loved album, the band's fifth, "Only God Was Above Us."

When, where, prices: 7 p.m. Aug. 1, BMO Pavilion. $44.94 to $358.

1. Green Day

Pop punk lovers will have plenty to choose from this summer, including the first Blink-182 show in Milwaukee since the classic lineup reunited; a couple intimate All Time Low gigs at the Rave (including one at their empty pool); plus two pop-punk festivals: Not Just a Phase Fest at Franklin Field and Sad Summer Festival at the Rave. But the pop punk show of the summer, no doubt, will be Green Day, who will revisit "Dookie" for its 30th anniversary, and "American Idiot" for its 20th anniversary, at American Family Field. The Smashing Pumpkins, Ministry and the Linda Lindas round out the stadium show lineup.

When, where, prices: 5:30 p.m. Aug. 24, American Family Field. $34 to $949 at ticketmaster.com .

Her favorite Quay sunnies are the On Set visor sunglasses . “They’re so cute. I [also] feel like a classic Inspector Gadget, like a slim, black pair, that’s another great shape where I feel it’s fire for day and night. You can go formal, to secretive, to secret agent, to also sexy. It’s divine.”
