  • Beyonce Adds Second Show at MetLife Stadium in July

    Beyonce is returning to the stage for the first in over six years, with her Renaissance World Tour Beginning this Spring. Beyonce will be performing twice at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, NJ, as part of the North America Leg of her tour, on Saturday, July 29. Originally only scheduled for one day, high demand from her “Beyhive” prompted the performer to add a second show at the venue, on Sunday, July 30.

  • Trivium and Beartooth Co-Headline Tour at Buffalo Riverworks and The Paramount in Huntington

    Trivium and Beartooth have announced they are co-headlining a tour stopping at 29 cities, among them Buffalo Riverworks on May 9 and the following day in Huntington at The Paramount on Wednesday, May 10. Malevolence and Archetypes Collide will join the bands on all dates across the upcoming tour.

    The Paramount in Huntington

    Trivium has expressed excitement for this tour, saying “Trivitooth! We are elated to announce our co-headlining monster of a tour with the incredible Beartooth. We have been fans of what they do, and pals with them for ages — so it’s great we’re finally doing something so massive together. Trivium and Beartooth are both bands supported by each of our wonderful fan-bases — so we know these shows are going to go off.”

    On collaboring with Malevolence and Achetypes Collide, Trivium added, “Add in Malevolence, one of our favorite bands on the planet, and Archetypes Collide, one of Beartooth’s favorites, and we have a hell of a bill.” “I’m so excited to go out on this amazing tour with metal legends Trivium,” said Beartooth frontman Caleb Shomo.

    Additionally, Pollister named The Paramount in Huntington the #1 worldwide club back in December. First opening in 2014, Buffalo Riverworks has been named the city’s top waterfront entertainment destination.

    Declared by Forbes as “inching towards a tipping point of becoming the latest arena headliner,” Beartooth released their latest hit Riptide in 2022. The song sees frontman Caleb Shomo put the pain of the past in the rearview mirror as he takes the steering wheel from fate to command his own destiny, and focuses on the struggles of self-acceptance and mental health, two themes that have defined the band since their inception.

    The upcoming tour supports In the Court of the Dragon released in 2021 through Roadrunner Records. Performing for more than two decades, the band has continued to receive International acclaim from The New York Times, NPR, Forbes, Billboard, and more. Through the years, Trivium performed alongside Metallica, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, and many others and graced the main stages of Download, Bloodstock, KNOTFEST, and more.

    Tickets can be purchased starting Friday, Feb. 3 at 10 a.m. through Ticketmaster. Ticketless VIP upgrades are being offered to fans as a joint package, allowing fans to meet both bands.

  • Bryan Adams Will Tour at Madison Square Garden and Key Bank Center

    Canadian musician Bryan Adams is returning to the road for his So Happy It Hurts tour with rock ‘n’ roll band Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, in support of his 15th studio album of the same name. The tour includes stops at Madison Square Garden and Key Bank Center in Buffalo.

    Adams and Joan Jett and the Black Hearts will perform at Madison Square Garden on Friday, June 9. The tour will stop at the Key Bank Center on Tuesday, June 13. Tickets go on sale Friday, Feb. 3 at 12 p.m. “So Happy It Hurts” is also nominated for Best Rock Performance at the 2023 Grammy awards, this Sunday, February 5.

    Bryan Adams is regarded as one the most exciting live musicians in the world for over 40 years. Adams’ songwriting has garnered him a number of awards and accolades, including three Academy Award nominations, five Golden Globe nominations, Grammy Award and 20 Juno Awards.

    Rock ‘n’ roll was largely a male dominated genre during Jett’s youth. She formed her band The Blackhearts in 1979, and they released their first album “I Love Rock ‘n Roll,” in 1981. Their debut single of the same name shortly followed, itself a cover of the hit single by Arrows. Jett has since become an inspiration to generations for her work in music, film, television, Broadway, and humanitarianism. Joan Jett and the Blackhearts returned to the road last summer with Def Leppard, Motley Crue and Poison for The Stadium Tour, after two delays due to Covid-19.

  • Kali Uchis Announces Radio City Music Hall Show

    Grammy-winning artist Kali Uchis will headline a tour to support her upcoming album throughout the country, including a stop at Radio City Music Hall in New York City on Thursday, May 4. Uchis is one of the top-billed performers at this year’s Coachella.


    On her new album, Uchis explains that “Love is the message. Red Moon In Venus is a timeless, burning expression of desire, heartbreak, faith, and honesty, reflecting the divine femininity of the moon and Venus. This body of work represents all levels of love—releasing people with love, drawing love into your life, and self-love.”

    Last year, Uchis won three Billboard Latin Awards, two Billboard Music Awards, and an American Music Award. Uchis achieved her first Billboard Latin Music Award in 2021, for her critically acclaimed Spanish language album, Sin Miedo (del Amor y Otros Demonios) ∞, released in 2020. Additionally, that same year she won her first Grammy, Premios Nuestra Tierra, and Univision Premios Juventud, performed on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” and toured arenas across North America with Tyler the Creator.

    Uchis grew up between Virginia and Colombia and rose to fame with her extended play Por Vida in 2015. This was followed by the release of her debut album, Isolation, in 2018, to widespread critical acclaim. Uchis has collaborated and shared stages with SZA, Gorillaz, Jorja Smith, Diplo, Major Lazer, Snoop Dogg, Kaytranada, Leon Bridges, and more and has toured the world over, with lauded sets headlining Coachella, Governors Ball, and many others.
