  • Gojira Announces Fall Tour with Stops in Albany and Rochester

    French metal band, Gojira, announced their headline tour coming this fall with the New Zealand metal trio, Alien Weaponry, as the openers.

    Gojira fall tour

    The tour comes after Gojira released their seventh album, Fortitude, their first album drop since 2016. Fortitude has 11 tracks with messages urging people to imagine a new world and advocating for the environment. Some singles from the album, including “Another World”, “Born For One Thing”, “Into the Storm”, “Amazonia” and “The Chant”, set the tone and highlighted the theme.

    Fortitude was produced and recorded by the band’s frontman, Joe Duplantier, in Ridgewood, Queens at their headquarters. After their 2X Grammy-nominated album, Magma received much admiration from fans and the media for their self-reflection and transparency. Like their previous album, Fortitude has been getting good reception and shows their ability to continue to change heavy music.

    Alien Weaponry

    Joining Gorija on tour this fall is, Alien Weaponry and Knocked Loose as the opening acts. In their debut album Tū released in 2018, the band delivered emotional and political stories filled with conflict and grief with the passion of warriors, mostly sung in their native tongue, te rao Māori.

    They maintained the number one slot on SiriusXM Liquid Metal’s Devil’s Dozen Countdown and were acclaimed by Revolver to be one of the bands most likely to break out this year. Before the tour kicks off later this year, Alien Weaponry is performing in their Stronger Together series with the New Zealand Orchestra on May 22 and May 29. 

    Gojira will be supporting Deftones on their tour this summer from August 12 to September 22  before kicking off their fall tour. Their fall run in the U.S  begins on October 11 in Salt Lake City, UT until October 29 in Cleveland, Ohio. They will be stopping in Albany at the Upstate Concert Hall on October 25 and in Rochester at Main Street Armory on October 28. Tickets go on sale on Gojira’s website on Friday, May 7 at 10 a.m.  

  • Megadeth and Lamb Of God Tour Comes to Jones Beach

    It’s time. Megadeth and Lamb of God cannot be stopped and today announced the rescheduled run of the Metal Tour of the Year.

    Lamb of God Megadeth

    Joining them, as previously planned, will be special guests Trivium and In Flames, heralding the long-awaited return to the stage for these bands, who are every bit as excited about these historic and not-to-be-missed shows as fans are.

    Produced by Live Nation, the epic, rescheduled tour will now kick off on Friday, August 20th in Austin, TX and hit a further 26 cities before wrapping in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada on Saturday, October 2nd.

    It will be stopping in New York on Sunday, September 12th, at the Northwell Health at Jones Beach Theater.

    Megadeth, fueled by Dave Mustaine’s triumphant return to the stage following his diagnosis and recovery of throat cancer, will finally embark on their first North American tour since 2017.

    Lamb of God Megadeth

    Megadeth’s leader and frontman, Dave Mustaine says:

    Can you hear that sound of armies on the march – of destruction on the horizon? That’s this tour, coming for you. We cannot wait to return to the stage and I promise you you do NOT want to miss these shows. You’re not going to know what hit you!

    Lamb of God pressed ahead with the release of their crushing self-titled album, one of the best-selling metal albums of 2020.

    The band now looks to take the show on the road as they return to the stage for the first time since the release of the record. Randy Blythe, inimitable frontman of Lamb of God, adds:

    It’s been far too long since we got together to do our thing— by ‘we’ I mean bands, road crew, bus drivers, truck drivers, local venue staff, vendors, audience, parking lot attendants, the freaking janitors- the whole damn enchilada. ALL OF US. TOGETHER. Everyone has been waiting, but the time has come to put the puzzle back together— I honestly don’t think I’ve ever been more ready to hit the road with lamb of god. See y’all in a few months with Megadeth, Trivium, & In Flames. Over a year with no live music? These shows are gonna be INSANE…

    Trivium’s Matthew Kiichi Heafy added, “The Metal Tour of the year couldn’t be stopped by anything. It is still happening, and we can’t wait to bring back shows with this monumental tour. We’re ready. Are you?”

    With In Flames singer, Anders Fridén stating:

    “I can’t really describe how good it feels to be really talking about going on tour, let alone The Metal Tour of the Year. This setup is long overdue and we can’t wait to finally make it happen.”

    Tickets and VIP packages for the rescheduled Megadeth and Lamb of God dates go on sale to the general public beginning Friday, May 7th, 2021 at 10am local time at LiveNation.com.

  • Alejandro Sanz Announces U.S. Tour Dates for #LAGIRA

    Alejandro Sanz’ #LAGIRA is making a comeback in the United States this October. Spain’s most international artist will visit 12 cities across the country alongside his grand show produced by Live Nation. One of these shows he is performing at is right here in NYS: Radio City Music Hall.

    Alejandro Sanz

    The artist will present his greatest hits as well as songs from his 3x Latin Grammy-winning and Best Latin Album Grammy-winning album, #ELDISCO. #LAGIRA has sold out numerous shows globally, including shows in Spain, the U.S., Mexico, Argentina, and more. Make sure to grab your tickets when they go on sale on April 29 through Sanz’s site or Ticketmaster.

    Projects Through the Pandemic

    Alejandro Sanz has always had a close and unique relationship with his fans. Back in March 2020, Sanz offered a show streamed through a digital platform, #LaGiraSeQuedaEnCasa, alongside Juanes. Sanz was one of the first artists to do so, and the feedback was overwhelming. Nearly 5 million people around the world have viewed the video.

    A week after #LaGiraSeQuedaEnCasa release, Sanz released #ElMundoFuera. This song paved the way for the creation of a documentary. People all over the globe were able to come together and share their pandemic stories. Over 4,500 videos were received through this platform and ultimately led to the largest collaborating project by a Spanish-speaking artist. The documentary was Spain’s most sold music DVD of 2020 and is also available now on Amazon Prime Video.

    Even though 2020 was a hard-hitting year for many, Alejandro Sanz made the best out of a challenging situation. He started off the pandemic with a surplus of well-developed projects and didn’t fall short of his successes when the year ended. The international artist received his second consecutive Latin Grammy for Record of the Year. This award added to Sanz’s collection of achievements. With 4 Grammy wins, and 25 Latin Grammy wins, Sanz became Spain’s most Grammy award-winning artist.

    Miller is an independent artist who has gained a following over the years from his music and social media presence. He has over 200 million streams and headlined eight tours throughout the country. Ariana Grande, Shawn Mendes and Fifth Harmony are some of the talents that Miller has shared the stage with.

    In 2019 he wrote and produced his six song EP Based on a True Story in his bedroom and received 15 million streams. His single “Wait for You” off the EP made it to Billboard Top 40. Miller became a hit on Tiktok with his viral series “Quarantunes”. Throughout 2020, he released eight singles displaying his craft with different sounds.

    Miller’s “hi, i missed you” tour comes after last year’s releases and is the beginning of his journey for 2021. The tour consists of 33 dates and will be stopping in major cities across the nation including New York, Toronto, Chicago and Los Angeles.

It touches on the feeling of having someone that you love by your side and not wanting to live without them. For Miller, the ballad means that even when the world seems crazy, having someone special with you makes things better. The single is available on all streaming platforms through The Orchard.

     

  • Blackberry Smoke to Perform at Apple Valley Park in Lafayette this June

    Central New York’s Creative Concerts have announced that Blackberry Smoke will perform at Apple Valley Park in Lafayette, NY on Tuesday, June 29. Tickets go on sale to the general public this Friday, April 30 at 10am at applevalleypark.com

    blackberry smoke

    Apple Valley Park is located in beautiful LaFayette, NY. With its rural atmosphere, rolling hills, and expansive fall foliage, it has proven to be a wonderful home to the annual LaFayette Apple Festival since 1973. More recently it has expanded to host other live entertainment events, including a few successful drive-in concerts in the fall of 2020. 

    Throughout their career, Blackberry Smoke— vocalist/lead guitarist Charlie Starr, guitarist/vocalist Paul Jackson, bassist/vocalist Richard Turner, drummer Brit Turner, and keyboardist Brandon Still—has embodied Georgia’s rich musical legacy, honoring the people, places and sounds of their home state. As the band celebrates their 20th anniversary this year, their reverence for Georgia has only deepened.

    On their latest album, You Hear Georgia, the follow-up to 2018’s critically acclaimed Find a Light, Blackberry Smoke is further celebrating these roots with 10 new songs that feel like Georgia, accented by the addition of Grammy-winning producer and fellow Georgia-native, Dave Cobb (Jason Isbell, Brandi Carlile).

    Over the years, Blackberry Smoke has toured with ZZ Top, Zac Brown Band, and Eric Church, while the group’s last four full-lengths reached the top 10 of the Billboard country charts, with two of these albums (2015’s Holding All The Roses and 2016’s Like An Arrow) landing at No. 1. You Hear Georgia reinforces that the band members have come so far together because they also can rely on one another for support and creative direction, no matter what the circumstances.

    Having played music together for so long, it does become a sort of a telepathic thing, where we all are nodding our head at the same time, like, ‘A-ha, I know what this feels like,’ or what it should feel and sound like. That’s what makes it so enjoyable to be in a band: to play with the same dudes decade after decade. Because when you land on something that works to you, you don’t want to stop. You want to keep doing it.

    Charlie Starr, vocalist/lead guitarist for Blackberry Smoke
