  • Olivia Rodrigo Announces MSG Shows on GUTS World Tour

    Grammy Award-winner Olivia Rodrigo announced her highly anticipated GUTS World Tour in support of her recently released sophomore studio album GUTS. Including four stops at New York’s Madison Square Garden on April 5, 6, 8, and 9, the tour spans 57 dates across Europe and North America from February through August 2024.

    Following the critical success of her 2022 debut SOUR Tour, the GUTS World Tour will be Rodrigo’s first arena run, including notable iconic venues such as London’s The O2, The Kia Forum, and New York’s own Madison Square Garden. Supporting acts on select dates include The Breeders, PinkPantheress, Chappell Roan, and Remi Wolf. 

    Olivia Rodrigo's GUTS

    As one of the most anticipated albums of the year, GUTS arrived as the follow-up to Rodrigo’s 4x Platinum 2021 debut SOUR. GUTS features her two most recent hits “vampire” and “bad idea, right?,” both critically acclaimed since their single releases earlier this year. The music video for “bad idea, right?” was also released last month, drawing rave reviews for its clever storyline and 2000s inspiration.

    In conjunction with the GUTS World Tour, Olivia Rodrigo is launching “Olivia Rodrigo’s Fund 4 Good,” a global initiative committed to building an equitable and just future for all women and girls. “Fund 4 Good” will directly support community-based non-profits that champion girls’ education, support reproductive rights, and prevent gender-based violence. A portion of the proceeds from all ticket and VIP sales from the GUTS World Tour will go to the organization.

    Verified Fan Presale for the GUTS Tour begins on September 20 and 21. American Express Early Access presale begins on September 20 at 3 p.m. Fans can register up until September 17 for a chance to win presale access for the North American tour here and the European tour here.

    Olivia Rodrigo’s GUTS World Tour will also be featuring Silver Star Tickets, a program releasing select seats at $20 each (or equivalent local currency). Silver Star Tickets will be available in pairs of two for pickup at the local box office and will be available at a later date, with fans not knowing what seats they will receive. Rodrigo began the program to increase accessibility and affordability for fans on her upcoming tour.

  • Arctic Monkeys Celebrate 10th Anniversary of Self-Titled Album with Sold Out Return to Forest Hills

    Arctic Monkeys played two sold out shows at Forest Hills Stadium in Queens, NY over September 8-9, as part of their ongoing North American tour. The second evening at Forest Hills Stadium coincided with the tenth anniversary of their self-titled album, and marked their return to Forest Hills Stadium after last playing there in 2018.

    Beloved post-punk outfit Fontaines DC opened for Arctic Monkeys both nights. They played powerful hard-hitting sets, warming up the crowd before the Arctic Monkeys took the stage.

    On the second night, legendary poet John Cooper Clarke introduced the band with his spoken word poem “I Wanna Be Yours,” which the band had covered in their self-titled album.

    After taking the stage to rapturous applause, Arctic Monkeys started the second evening’s set with the opening track on their self-titled record, “Do I Wanna Know.”

    Fans of all ages seemed to know the words to every song, occasionally even singing the guitar melodies along with the band.

    The setlist featured many of the band’s most iconic tracks from their catalog, including “Brianstorm,” “Why Do You Only Call Me When You’re High,” and “Fluorescent Adolescent.” At the end of “There Better Be a Mirrorball” from their latest record, a large disco ball descended from above, bearing the singular word “Monkeys” on both sides. They immediately launched into “505” and the mirrorball lit up, spreading dots of glowing white light throughout the stadium and its 13,000 fans. This induced a seemingly-involuntary cheer among the audience, who lost themselves in the moment that was certainly a highlight from the show.

    For their encore, the band returned to the stage to play their cover of John Cooper Clarke’s “I Wanna Be Yours,” and closed their sold out two-night run with “I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor” and “R U Mine?” (which they started with the opening chords to The Strokes’ “Last Nite”).

  • Weekly Dead Night Returns After Two Decade Hiatus With ‘Dead Country Tuesdays’

    In a historic revival of Grateful Dead music culture, CEG Presents and Keeping the Dead Alive, are thrilled to announce the launch of weekly Grateful Dead night “Dead Country Tuesdays.”

    This event marks the return of a weekly Dead Night to Manhattan after a hiatus of over two decades. The festivities are set to kick off Tuesday, Sept. 12 at Hill Country Live on 26th Street east of 6th Avenue in Manhattan.

    The inaugural evening will feature a high-energy performance by the hot, up-and-coming Grateful Dead tribute band, Strangers Stopping Strangers out of Jersey City. Fans can expect a mix of classic Dead tunes and energetic interpretations from the group, whose commitment to capturing the lively essence of the Grateful Dead has garnered them a cult following.

    Dayna Bauman, co-creator of “Dead Country Tuesdays,” expressed, “Memento Mori is remembering that things pass. The Dead taught us that when they do if we show up together, we can transmute them once again into something beautiful. That’s our hope here, to honor this legacy while supporting the birth of the next generation of music.”

    Bauman founded Keeping the Dead Alive to introduce the musicians who have been inspired by the Grateful Dead, particularly the next generation of original musicians who are influenced by the group. She has worked tirelessly to preserve and promote the music and ethos of the Grateful Dead. “Dead Country Tuesdays” is a testament to her unwavering commitment to keeping the spirit of the Dead alive.

    Tickets for “Dead Country Tuesdays” can be purchased online here.

  • Alice Cooper & Rob Zombie: The Freaks Marched Into Jones Beach Theater For A Hellraising Parade

    Dubbed the Gruesome Twosome when Alice Cooper and Rob Zombie toured together 13 years ago, the pair have reunited for their Freaks on Parade 2023 co-headlining tour that brought them to the Jones Beach Theater in Wantagh, NY this past Saturday, September 9, for another haunted hell ride. Joined by industrial pioneers Ministry and the eclectic alternative rockers Filter, these special guests have opened every show on the massive, 38-date trek of North America.

    Cooper, the 75-year old “Godfather of Shock Rock,” is promoting his 22nd solo album Road (earMusic), released last month. Bringing a signature style of macabre rock, Cooper’s stage show included a boa constrictor brandished across his shoulders and escaping from a straight jacket only to meet his maker guillotine-style at the hands of his wife Sheryl, in the gowned guise of Marie Antoinette. Cooper and his bandmates – “Hurricane” Nita Strauss (guitar), Tommy Henricksen (guitar), Chuck Garrick (bass) and Glen Sobel (drums) – offered up a set filled with classic tracks, including “I’m Eighteen” (the 1971 single that put him on the map), “Feed My Frankenstein,” “Poison,” and the closing number, “School’s Out.”

    An acclaimed cult horror filmmaker, Zombie is said to be turning his attention back to music and is currently working on his first new material since he dropped his seventh studio album, The Lunar Injection Kool Aid Eclipse Conspiracy (Nuclear Blast), back in 2021. Backed by Piggy D. (bass), Ginger Fish (drums) and Mike Riggs (who is back with the band after replacing guitarist John 5), Zombie delivered a theatrical, mind-blowing performance to the near 15,000-capacity crowd.

    The stagecraft was impeccable, complete with pyrotechnics, a hovering flying saucer, large-scale puppetry and eye-popping, next-level videos displayed across numerous high-def screens. Zombie and company delivered a 14-song set (including an epic drum solo) comprised of notable hits like “House of 1000 Corpses” and “Living Dead Girl,” along with two covers by his former band White Zombie – “More Human Than Human” and “Thunder Kiss ’65.” The night concluded with Zombie’s most notorious anthem, “Dragula.”

  • Bowl Hashanah Returns to Brooklyn Bowl on September 16

    The Brooklyn Bowl has announced its 12th annual Bowl Hashanah, set for Saturday, Sept. 16, featuring morning services and a number of well-known musicians.

    Presented by The Friday Night Jam & FANS.live, the event will kick off at 10:30 AM with Rosh Hashanah morning services led by Rabbi Daniel Brenner with musical director Jeremiah Lockwood, Antibalas’ Jordan McLean (who just wrapped a performance at Newport Jazz Festival), Antibalas’ Timothy Allen, drummer John Bollinger, saxophonist Stuart Bogie and Yula Berri on vocals and bass. 

    In addition, Taper’s Choice/Darkside member Dave Harrington, Taper’s Choice/Real Estate member Alex Bleeker, Dr. Dog member, and Kevin Morby collaborators Erick Slick and Will Epstein will all make guest appearances. Afro-beat group Armo will also perform a spiritual set. Internationally based teacher Aliza Rivka will lead a guided meditation at each event. After services at 12:30 PM, a lunch will be provided by Blue Ribbon with a ticket purchase. 

    All proceeds will support the non-profit organization Shalom Y’all Jams, which works to organize holiday services at non-traditional locations. 

    We have said for years that Brooklyn Bowl is our sanctuary, clubhouse, church and synagogue, so it only makes sense that it has grown into the spiritual home for our musically inclined Rosh Hashanah services over the years. Especially at a time when so many of us have been apart from our friends and family due to the pandemic, we hope that our suite of traditional-but-open-minded-and-inclusive services will allow us to connect with each other as we ‘begin again’ at the start of this new year.

    Relix’s Editor-in-Chief Mike Greenhaus

    The Brooklyn Bowl was ranked the #1 busiest club in NYC and #7 busiest club in the world in 2017 by Pollstar. Featuring groundbreaking integration of premiere music, 16 lanes of bowling, a bar featuring locally crafted beers, and food by the acclaimed Blue Ribbon restaurant group, the venue, aka “rock and roll heaven” (Village Voice) boasts a sound system and amenities that “no other local rock club can offer” (The New York Times). Environmentally sustainable, the venue is the first L.E.E.D.-certified bowling alley in the world and serves paper straws.

    The Friday Night Jam & FANS.live have a number of other spiritually and musically inclined High Holiday Services which can be streamed live here. Each service will be led by Rabbi Daniel Brenner and musical director Jeremiah Lockwood, featuring Antibalas’ Jordan McLean, Yuli Beeri, saxophonist Stuart Bogie, and a full live band. Patti Smith Group’s Lenny Kaye, The Lonesome Prairie Dogs’ Heidi Lieb, and drummer Amir Ziv will also perform live at the Relix Studio during the streams.

    Livestream Schedule

    Friday, SEPT 15 @ 7:30 PM EST from The Relix Studio 

    Saturday, SEP 16 @ 10 AM EST from Brooklyn Bowl

    Sunday, Sept 24 @ 7:30 PM from The Relix Studio (stream live via Fans.live)

    Monday, Sept 25 @ 10 AM from The Relix Studio (stream live via Fans.live)

    As part of the event’s anniversary celebration, during the Sunday, Sept. 25 service, Lockwood’s The Sway Machinery will present Hidden Melodies Revealed 15 at Brooklyn Bowl. This new iteration of the concert-ritual will celebrate the widening circles of cantorial revival, and Yiddish experimental expressive culture that have emerged in the last decade. Offering a counterpoint to The Sway Machinery’s futurist sound, a second stage will be set up in the middle of the venue that will host a “radical traditionalist” band performing new arrangements of Jewish ritual music on strings.

    PAC NYC is partnering with a number of organizations to further their commitment to collaborating and building alliances with the community. They have established anchor alliances with the Borough of Manhattan Community College, Center for Independence of the Disabled, New York, Interfaith Center of New York City, and The New York Immigration Coalition. In addition, PAC NYC has formed a foundational alliance with the Lenape Center.

    The anchor alliances are relationships across multiple years with organizations that share a commitment to involving constituents in both PAC NYC and the allied group’s programs. Project-based alliances will spark dialogue and create programming around specific PAC NYC events, performances, and productions, and will allow both groups to reach new communities. Through these alliances, PAC NYC will collaborate closely with organizations with deep experience serving the city of New York across a variety of areas. 

    Building a performing arts center in this location was a promise to all of New York City. From the day we began working on the artistic programming, we also began developing relationships and creating dialogue around our events and performances. These partnerships will invite and include our neighbors from all five boroughs, connect people across differences, and help us discover how art can continue to inspire and heal.

    In addition, PAC NYC has announced a new exhibit in collaboration with new foundational alliance partner The Lenape Center. The exhibit is titled “Kishux,” and features a curated presentation of 12 large format photographs by Devin Pickering.

    “Kishux” shows photographs from over a period of five months, from all times of day, telling the story of the ancestral seeds return home to Lenapehoking, the Lenape name for their homeland. The Lenape people have historically inhabited a region across the eastern US, spanning much of what is now known as New Jersey, eastern Pennsylvania, New York’s Hudson Valley and the NYC metropolitan area. The exhibit at PAC NYC will run from September 23 through October 9, and is free for all.
