  • Nigeria’s Most Wanted Tour Arrives at Irving Plaza in May

    Afrobeats artists Shallipopi and Odumodublvck have announce a co-headline ‘Nigeria’s Most Wanted Tour 2024’, the first-ever joint tour in Afrobeats history. The nine-city tour includes a stop at Irving Plaza on Thursday, May 2.

    Shallipopi and Odumodublvck Nigeria’s Most Wanted Tour

    Shallipopi (Crown Uzama), also known as Pluto Presido, stands as a testament to the boundless potential of creativity and the rapid influence of social media in the music world. Hailing from Benin in Nigeria, Shallipopi has crafted a unique niche for himself as an exceptionally talented singer and trendsetter.

    It was 2023 that witnessed his meteoric ascent, as he unleashed his hit single “Elon Musk.” The song became an instant sensation, catapulting him into the spotlight and setting the stage for a series of subsequent triumphs. Hits like “Sharpiru” and the electrifying remix of “Elon Musk” further solidified his status as a musical force to be reckoned with.

    Marking another milestone in his extraordinary journey, he launched his record label -“Plutomania Records” in October of 2023 with two signees – Zerrydl & Tega Boi Dc who have both featured on previous projects with him. Shallipopi’s fusion of raw talent, unrelenting determination, and unwavering dedication positions him as a true trendsetter.

    Odumodublvck, born Tochukwu Gbubemi Ojogwu, has emerged as a prominent voice in Nigerian Hip-Hop, seamlessly blending drill, grime, and Afrobeat influences. His viral 2023 single, “Declan Rice,” showcased his shapeshifting flows, paving the way for his critically acclaimed mixtape “EZIOKWU” on NATIVE Records/Def Jam.

    Despite his diverse musical aesthetics, Odumodublvck emphasizes the universality of his songs, aiming to connect with a broad audience. Originally a soccer enthusiast from Abuja, Odumodublvck absorbed Ghanaian music from his father’s collection and later drew inspiration from artists such as Sisqó, Sean Paul, Lil Wayne, 50 Cent, and JAY-Z. Stylistically influenced by 50 Cent and inspired by JAY-Z’s journey to superstardom, Odumodublvck navigates the music scene with determination.

    Their joint single, “Cast” was released in November 2023 and peaked at #1 on TurnTable Top 100 and at Top 10 on Billboard US Afrobeats.

    Shallipopi & Odumodublvck’s individual projects “Presido La Pluto” and “EZIOKWU” also peaked at #1 on the TurnTable Top 100 Albums lists with #1 hits “Elon Musk” and “Ex-Convict” from Shallipopi and “Blood On the Dance Floor” feat. Wale & Bloody Civilian + “Declan Rice” from Odumodublvck.

    Tickets are now on sale.

  • The Wolfe Tones’ Farewell Tour Stops in NYC over St. Patrick’s Day Weekend

    After 60 years of Irish ballads and rebel songs, The Wolfe Tones will conclude their career in America this St. Patrick’s Day weekend. Their last American shows will be Friday, March 15 and Saturday, March 16 at 7:30 pm at the Town Hall in New York City. 

    The Wolfe Tones pictured on stage. From left to right: Brian Warfield, Tommy Byrne, and Noel Nagel.

    The group formed six decades ago, back in August of 1963. The group consisted of frontman Brian Warfield, Noel Nagel, and Liam Courtney. The following year, Brian’s brother Derek Warfield joined the group along with Tommy Byrne, who replaced Courtney. That lineup remained consistent for almost 37 years until “creative differences” caused Derek Warfield to leave the band in 2001. Derek formed The Young Wolfe Tones and has barely spoken to his brother Brian since.

    The band now consists of Brian Warfield, Noel Nagel, and Tommy Byrne. Despite the change in lineup, the band continues to chant their rebel songs. Their hit “Celtic Symphony” remains a fan favorite, standing the test of time. Just two years ago in October of 2022, the song rose again to No. 1 on the Irish iTunes charts and No. 2 on the UK iTunes chart 35 years after its initial release. This rebel song truly embodies The Wolfe Tones essence, especially as the band is named after Theobald Wolfe Tone, a prominent leader of the Irish Rebellion of 1798.

    The band’s success hasn’t stayed in Ireland and the UK but has traveled overseas to the Tri-state area. Their song “The Streets of New York,” which was released in 1981, continues to be a staple in the New York Irish community. The song can be heard every week on New York’s WFUV 90.7 FM’s Irish music program, Ceol na nGael. 

    A crowd of 10,000 eagerly sing along to The Wolfe Tones when they performed at Belfast’s Féile an Phobail  in August of 2022.

    The Wolfe Tones will celebrate their long-term success with their Farewell Tour. But why not continue this success? Brian Warfield said member Tommy Byrne always said, “I’m not going to go past 80.” As Byrne and Nagel are 80 this year, the band has decided to retire. But they’re not going quietly. They’ll be ending their Farewell Tour with two lively shows in 3Arena, Dublin in mid-October.

  • Weezer Announces Their Voyage to the Blue Planet Tour

    May 10, 2024 marks the 30th anniversary of Weezer’s self-titled debut album, better known as the Blue Album. To celebrate the milestone, Weezer announced their Voyage to the Blue Planet Tour on March 11. The tour will consist of opening acts The Flaming Lips and Dinosaur Jr. along with a setlist comprising the entirety of the Blue Album. 

    While Weezer has gone on recent back-to-back tours (The Hella Mega Tour in 2021-2022 followed by The Indie Rock Road Trip in 2023), the setlists focused on Weezer’s more recent albums. Since the pandemic, Weezer released two albums, OK Human (2021) and Van Weezer (2021), along with four EPs in 2022. With this added material, Weezer has a vast array of source material to choose from, spanning 15 studio albums and 37 singles. So while Weezer has made sure to almost always play their Blue Album’s singles along with their hit “Surf Wax America ” during their concerts, it has been near impossible to play the entirety of the Blue Album at one concert. But now, fans have the chance to listen live to the entirety of perhaps Weezer’s most iconic and influential album. 

    Weezer released their critically-acclaimed self-debut album back in 1994. With three hit singles – “Undone – The Sweater Song,” “Buddy Holly,” and “Say It Ain’t So” – it’s no surprise the album peaked at No. 16 on the Billboard 200 and was certified platinum under eight months later on January 13, 1995. Not only have the songs developed into pop culture staples but so has the album cover, which is now a global meme. The album’s humor, geekiness, and musicality cemented Weezer as the band for outcasts and alternative rock enthusiasts alike. 

    Weezer will be kicking off the tour with a special performance at The Lodge Room in Los Angeles on March 15. The performance harkens back to Weezer’s very first performance on March 19, 1992 when they closed for Keanue Reeves’ band Dogstar. Now almost exactly 30 years later, Dogstar will be opening for Weezer! There are rumors of other surprise guests as well. 

    The tour will then begin on September 4 in St. Paul, Minnesota. Weezer will be in New York at Madison Square Garden on September 11. Weezer will be in the surrounding tristate area on September 13 at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia. As the band stated, “Get ready, because you’re about to be feeling Blue all year round.” 

    Presale for Weezer’s fan club members and their mailing list starts Wednesday, March 13. General on sale tickets will be available on Friday, March 15. For more information and to get tickets, click here.

    In February, Goose introduced Ellis as their new drummer, simultaneously releasing Ted Tapes 2024, an album comprising instrumental improvisations recorded during Ellis’s audition process. These sessions have given fans an exciting taste of the fresh energy and creative dynamism Ellis brings to the band.

    This month, Goose surprised their faithful and rapidly expanding fan base with the premiere of Chateau Sessions Pt I on their YouTube channel. This hour-and-forty-five-minute video, captured in-studio with two moving cameras, offered fans a sneak peek at the new lineup performing a handful of catalog staples and fan-favorites.

    Following the success of the first video, the band released Chateau Sessions Pt II on the evening of March 11. This second installment, running nearly 75 minutes in length, continues to showcase the unique chemistry between the band members and their new drummer. Audio versions of Chateau Sessions Parts I and II are now available for streaming or purchase via the band’s Bandcamp and Nugs.net pages.

    With tickets to all previously announced tour dates in high demand, the band is working diligently to eliminate the secondary market and to ensure concert tickets end up in the hands of fans. As such, there will be no general on-sale for The Capitol Theatre shows. Instead, tickets will be made available exclusively via a lottery request system.

    The request period starts today, March 12th at 12 pm ET, and ends on Saturday, March 16th at 5 pm ET. Lottery winners will be notified and charged for their tickets no later than the evening of Tuesday, March 19th. Following the end of the lottery request period and prior to emails going out to lottery winners, team Goose will examine every entry for suspicious activity and cancel entries from known scalpers.
