Lizzo Dancers Blast Her For Weight Shaming & Tormenting Them In Huge Lawsuit

By: Justin IveyCategory: News

Three of Lizzo’s former dancers have reportedly accused her of being a nightmare boss in a lawsuit filed in Los Angeles Tuesday (August 1). The dancers sued the singer, her production company and dance captain, Shirlene Quigley, for creating a hostile work environment and sexual harassment, among other allegations.

Arianna Davis, Noelle Rodriguez and Crystal Williams hired attorney Ron Zambrano to represent them in their case against Lizzo. The trio claimed they were the victims of assault, false imprisonment, racial harassment, religious harassment, disability discrimination and intentional interference with prospective economic advantage.

“The stunning nature of how Lizzo and her management team treated their performers seems to go against everything Lizzo stands for publicly, while privately she weight-shames her dancers and demeans them in ways that are not only illegal but absolutely demoralizing,” Zambrano said in a statement.

Lizzo allegedly weight-shamed Davis and pressured the dancer to touch a nude performer at a strip club in Amsterdam. The lawsuit accused Lizzo of subjecting her dancers to grueling conditions when they re-auditioned for their spots on tour. The dancers weren’t allowed to take a break, which resulted in one of the plaintiffs soiling herself during the re-audition.

The lawsuit claimed Quigley “took every opportunity to proselytize” her Christian beliefs despite objections from the dancers. Quigley was allegedly asked to stop preaching to Rodriguez, whom the dance captain regarded as a “non-believer,” but refused to quit. Quigley allegedly chastised dancers for having premarital sex and publicly discussed Davis’ virginity.

Davis and Williams were fired while Rodriguez resigned from the dance team. Lizzo’s tour manager fired Williams several days after the dancer defended her fellow dancers when Lizzo accused them of drinking before performances. Rodriguez spoke out against Williams’ firing.

According to the lawsuit, Davis was fired for recording a meeting between Lizzo and the dancers. Davis insisted she recorded it to review notes she might’ve missed due to her eye condition. But Lizzo and Quigley allegedly yelled at Davis before firing her over the recording. Rodriguez responded by resigning at the meeting. Lizzo allegedly threatened Rodriguez before leaving.

Davis, Rodriguez and Williams didn’t demand a specific amount of damages in their lawsuit. They sought compensation for unpaid wages, loss of earnings and legal fees.

Entreprenur Farrah Gray Talks Culture Vultures And Father / Activist Khallid Muhammad

By: Chuck Creekmur (@ChuckCreekmur)Category: Features

Farrah Gray an unlikely champion in Hip-Hop. But is because he’s a business mogul, author, speaker, and philanthropist. Like Hip-Hop, Gray defied the odds and emerged as a self-made millionaire by the young age of fourteen. He’s been featured in INC magazine. Billionaire Oprah Winfrey praised him as an “all-star” with “priceless advice.”

Gray has inspired millions worldwide with his inspiring rise from poverty to national and international prominence. As an acclaimed bestselling author, Gray’s books have become essential reading material. His literary works, include “Reallionaire,” “Get Real Get Rich,” “The Truth Shall Make You Rich,” “Comfort is the Enemy of Achievement,” and other works.

As a high achiever, many do not realize that his beginnings were often spent under his father’s wing. Khallid Muhammad is considered a freedom fighter, activist, and “unapologetically Black,” as described by AHH’s Chuck “Jigsaw” Creekmur. The two talked briefly about Hip-Hop, his father, and more.

AllHipHop: Talk to me about Hip-Hop’s 50th Anniversary but 50 years forward in the future. We’re talking about the future now.

Farrah Gray: Absolutely. Hip-Hop culture has really been the foundation and really transcended beyond what they ever expected. And of course, we have the vultures and the capitalists that have taken it and perverted something that was very pure. So it’s AllHipHop.com and others on the front lines who are preserving the culture. So to see BET hopefully in the hands of our people, because if they don’t treat you right, they won’t teach you right, or, “If they don’t teach you right, they won’t treat you right,” to quote Khallid Muhammad, my father.

AllHipHop: Yeah.

Farrah Gray: I may have messed that one up, Dad, but forgive me, I was close. So therefore, it’s very important to make sure it’s in the hands of the people that will literally not only preserve the culture, but move it 50 years, and I always say beyond 50 years, generations yet unborn.

AllHipHop: Yes, absolutely. Speaking on your father, man, for the longest time, we didn’t make that connection immediately, and he’s someone who was so unapologetically Black. And I mean in the most sturdy way you can imagine. I’m reading the book. I’m still reading it, by the way.

Farrah Gray: The Book of Khallid, by Attorney Malik Zulu Shabazz. Yes.

AllHipHop: It’s a fascinating book, by the way, I should add. Talk about being his son.

Farrah Gray: Wow. As I get older, I realize the impact of him being a freedom fighter, and what he meant to people, because to me, he was just dad. So I find myself studying his speeches. Even when reading the biography, I learned things about him.

AllHipHop: Yeah.

Farrah Gray: So I chose a different path. I believe that business is warfare, as the honorable Elijah Muhammad spoke so very frequently about the importance of green power and Black power coming together. With our buying power, we’re spending at an alarming rate, and at the end of the day, we are not… I’ll put it this way, we’re the only race of people that don’t feed ourselves. If you ask us what we ate, we’re going to tell you Chinese food, Italian food, Polish sausage. So we are not feeding ourselves. We have an international stomach.

So to look at entrepreneurship, agriculture… Because where there is no culture, therefore we have no agriculture if we’re not feeding our own. So entrepreneurship was the path that I chose, economic evangelism, and my father always supported that. So to have Khallid Muhammad as a father, who I believe is still with us here spiritually, it’s definitely an honor. So as I learn more about my father’s impact… And many of the speeches, I was right there with him.

But now I’m really like, wow. The wow factor.

AllHipHop: He has a line, something along the lines of saying, “Somebody has to hold the line.”

Farrah Gray: “Somebody has to hold the line, man.”

AllHipHop: That always rings out as being a Black-owned property.

Farrah Gray: Absolutely, and that actual quote came from a man that trained him, Captain Ali Rashid. He would always say, “Man, hold the line.”

AllHipHop: Yeah.

Farrah Gray: So whatever it was, no matter what you went through… My father faced assassination attempts over and over and over and over again. There wasn’t a day where he was not told that there was a bomb threat or that someone wanted to kill him. So check out The Book of Khallid. Also, check out farrahgray.com, and always stay tuned to AllHipHop.com.

AllHipHop: Appreciate you. Thank you so much.

Kanye West’s 2020 Presidential Committee Reportedly Files “Obstruction Of Justice” Complaint

By: Kershaw St. JawnsonCategory: News

Kanye West’s 2020 presidential committee has reportedly taken action against the rapper’s personal lawyer and campaign manager, filing a complaint of “obstruction of justice” with the federal government.

According to reports, the complaint specifically targets West’s personal lawyer and campaign manager. As previously reported, West ran for the president of the United States in the last election and failed miserably.

Last week, an alleged hacking incident occurred on the Federal Election Commission’s (FEC) website, which removed Devin White from his role as treasurer of the campaign. The action took place shortly after it was reported White was concerned about significant “fraud and malfeasance” within Ye’s campaign finances.

In response to this incident, the campaign’s “Statement of Organization,” White and committee lawyer Bruce Fein have jointly lodged a complaint with both the FBI and FEC.

Now, they’re accusing West’s lawyer Bruce Marks and his associates of impeding their internal investigation to find out if there are fraudulent activities (or the potential of fraudulent activities) related to campaign finances.

“They are changing (the FEC treasurer) because they are now the subject of a federal probe, so they are all scurrying away with the life preservers,” White said, nothing his office had “already notified the FBI about the obstruction of justice. “There is no way of covering it up—it was already in the news.”

Fein and White revealed discrepancies in Ye’s campaign finances, warning him about his campaign manager, Milo Yiannopoulos, an alt-right provocateur. They said he was engaging in potential criminal actions and claimed violated the Federal Election Campaign Act by working on the campaign.

Fein and White said West allegedly provided improper receipts for $13.5 million in campaign expenses. West’s lawyers have denied these allegations, suggesting Fein and White are seeking revenge due to unpaid fees.

“Ye categorically denies that he violated federal election law,” Marks said. “Period! It is irresponsible for Mr. White or Mr. Fein to make those allegations. I would note these allegations were made to the media after Ye refused to pay them hundreds of thousands of dollars that they requested. Period.”

He added, “We are going to investigate those allegations, most of which we think are false and to the extent there is any merit in them we will resolve them with the FEC.”

When directly questioned about Yiannopoulos’ immigration status, Marks downplayed his involvement in West’s election campaign. He reportedly danced around the fact they called him a “campaign manager” and submitted consulting bills to the committee that hit over six figures.

Joseline Hernandez Reportedly Hit With Arrest Warrant For Big Lex Fight

By: Kershaw St. JawnsonCategory: News

Reality TV personality Joseline Hernandez has found herself in legal trouble after allegedly beating the breaks off Big Lex, a former contestant on her show “Joseline’s Cabaret.”

As previously reported, the incident occurred backstage at Floyd Mayweather’s exhibition fight with John Gotti III in June. A video captured Hernandez viciously attacking Big Lex, leading to her arrest.

Florida prosecutors reportedly filed several charges against Hernandez, including felony resisting officers with violence, felony battery on a law enforcement officer, misdemeanor battery, misdemeanor battery causing bodily harm and misdemeanor trespassing. A warrant for her arrest was issued by the court.

According to the arrest report, officers encountered Hernandez in the backstage dressing room at the FLA Live arena. She was leaving the dressing room when she began verbally assaulting the law enforcement officers, who’d instructed her to leave the property. Hernandez’s involvement in the brawl led to severe legal consequences, highlighting the seriousness of the incident.

The report said Hernandez continued to argue with officers, “ignoring all orders to leave.”

“In an attempt to calm down the defendant, Victim (1) [redacted name] shouted to her, ‘Please calm down,'” the report read. “The defendant began to verbally assault the victim (w) before throwing a cell phone at him, which struck him in the head. Officers then took the defendant into custody.”

The “Puerto Rican Princess” resisted arrest aggressively, pushing, pulling, bracing and tensing to avoid getting into the patrol vehicle. She even tried to kick officers and yelled racial slurs. Later, she refused to provide any identification in the patrol car.

Officers said they spoke to a second female victim “who advised that while sitting on the event level of FLA Live Arena the defendant walked up to her, threw a cardboard box at her head, and then began to strike her about her face and head with closed fists.”

YNW Melly Juror Makes Explosive Allegations; Says Jury Was “Manipulated” Into A Mistrial

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

A former juror from the YNW Melly murder trial has come forward with explosive allegations, claiming that the jury was manipulated into a mistrial.

The juror, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told Local 10 News that the majority of the jury wanted to convict the Florida rapper, whose real name is Jamell Demons, for the 2018 murders of his fellow YNW Collective rappers, Christopher “Juvy” Thomas Jr. and Anthony “Sakchaser” Williams.

The juror alleges that a single woman on the jury, who was determined to acquit Demons, was the cause of the chaos.

“From day one, she had issues with the foreperson selected, at one point crossing her arms and saying she was ‘Done!’ When another juror asked to not shut down and set her feelings aside, she exploded… She was explosive, manipulative, she was rude, she yelled insults at anyone who had a different opinion,” the former juror said.

The mistrial, declared on July 22 by Broward County Circuit Judge John J. Murphy, shocked many, especially given the evidence presented during the trial.

As reported by AllHipHop, the prosecution had presented an alleged confession text from Demons, reading “I did that. Shhh.”

The juror’s allegations paint a picture of a jury room in turmoil, with the woman in question allegedly pulling two other jurors aside on the last day of deliberation, convincing them to change their minds. When questioned about her actions, she reportedly exploded, hurling insults at the man who questioned her.

The juror’s decision to speak up was prompted by reports that Demons’s mother, Jamie Demons-King, claimed the jury was deadlocked at 9-3 in favor of acquittal.

The former juror insists that it was actually the opposite, with nine of the jurors believing Demons was guilty.

YNW Melly, who rose to fame with his single “Murder On My Mind,” was arrested alongside YNW Bortlen in February 2019.

He pleaded not guilty to two charges of first-degree murder the following month and was facing the death penalty.

Despite the mistrial, the case is far from over. According to AllHipHop, Demons’s defense team and prosecutors have agreed to start jury selection for the second trial on October 2.

The rapper was celebrating the release of his new mixtape “Taking Chances 3,” at the Jade Fox Wine Bar & Lounge in his hometown of Lakeland, Florida, when gunshots rang out.

Erykah Badu Fires Shots From “Mama’s Gun” At Beyoncé For Allegedly Biting Her Style

By: Devon JeffersonCategory: Rumors

For Erykah Badu, imitation is not the highest form of flattery—even if the copycat is none other than Beyoncé herself. Though Queen Bey’s Renaissance Tour has been the source of thousands of daring, metallic looks this summer, Badu senses a tinge of unoriginality in the air. The stylistic culprit and or point of reference in the pseudo beef appears to be a platinum top hat in which both performers donned on stage recently. Badu, who’s currently on her Unfollow Me Tour, aired her grievances in a side-eye-inducing Instagram Story calling Beyoncé out.

“Hmm…I guess I’m everybody stylist,” Badu wrote in the series of posts. With the photos compared side-by-side, it does appear as though the hats are incredibly similar.

If I’m keeping it fully hundun witchu’, both hats are on some 2014 Pharrell Williams “Happy” type ish. But hey, everybody’s so creative, right?

And while Beyoncé’s freakishly functional Beyhive army swarmed on Badu for the petty swipe immediately, it appears the entire moment was a strategic move. But not because Badu was the muse, but because Beyoncé and her mini-me Blue Ivy had previously coordinated a monster Mommy-daughter fashion moment.

Blue made a quick cameo and busted out some quick-hit choreography at the same show her mom rocked the blinged-out Willy Wonka top hat. Considering the fact that Badu’s daughter, Puma, is also beginning to become a more regular fixture at her life shows, you would think that she would’ve let this slide.

Atlanta-bred singer/rapper 6lack met up with Chef Dale Talde in Los Angeles for Tastemade’s All Up In My Grill show. Their conversation included the “Calling My Phone” hitmaker discussing various topics.

At one point, Chef Dale asked 6lack to list his choices for a Mount Rushmore of musicians from his hometown. The 31-year-old Love Renaissance representative named artists whose careers took off in the 1990s, 2000s, and 2010s.

”If I could combine Andre and Big Boi into like a connected person on Mount Rushmore, then I would put OutKast right there,” 6lack offered. “I’m gonna jump to the new era because these two artists hand in hand have changed the sound of music today, Future and Yung Thug.”

The Spillage Village collective member also added, “This is where it gets a little tricky because we’ve got T.I., we’ve got Jeezy, we’ve got Luda, we’ve got Gucci. I’m gonna give it to Tip because he had such an impact on my school year.”

6lack named Jermaine Dupri, Usher, Jeezy, Gucci Mane, and Goodie Mob as “heavy” influences on his career in music as well. The 3-time Grammy nominee also discussed his love for hot-lemon pepper chicken wings.

In 2020, 6lack released the 6-track 6pc Hot EP. He told Chef Dale, “[Hot sauce] is so much my thing that I released an EP called 6pc Hot. We even came up with a hot sauce, we had a signing at a wing place. It’s a little bit of an obsession.”

6lack’s latest body of work, Since I Have a Lover, dropped on March 24 via LVRN/Interscope Records. The studio LP features appearances by Don Toliver and Wale. Since I Have a Lover joined an album catalog that also contains 2016’s Free 6lack and 2018’s East Atlanta Love Letter.

Drake Cancels It’s All A Blur Tour Stop In Memphis

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

Drake has routinely gone viral on social media thanks to newsworthy clips from his ongoing It’s All A Blur Tour with 21 Savage for the last several weeks. However, fans in Tennessee will have to miss out on the concert experience.

According to reports, Drake officially canceled a tour stop in Memphis that was initially re-scheduled for August 6. The trek was supposed to hit Memphis on June 29 before it was postponed.

“Due to the magnitude of the production of the Drake concert, it is logistically impossible to bring the show as designed to the FedExForum on August 6,” a statement from Drake’s representatives read. “Unfortunately, the show is [canceled].”

Drake has a familial connection to Memphis. The Canadian rapper’s father, Dennis Graham, is from the county seat of Shelby County. Drizzy even filmed the 2013 music video for “Worst Behavior” in his dad’s hometown.

In June, Drake received a key to Shelby County. At the time, Shelby Chairman Mickell Lowery told the 36-year-old entertainer, “We love our own. Memphis music touches the world. You got a lot of Memphis blood in you and you’re definitely touching the world.”

Some social media users took offense to the Memphis-area locale presenting Drake with the special honor. Memphis-raised rap star GloRilla addressed a fan who complained about the Toronto native getting the symbolic gift.

Drake and 21 Savage are planning to take the It’s All A Blur Tour to Inglewood, California for multiple dates beginning August 12. The Her Loss album collaborators will also head to San Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle and Vancouver later this month.

Blueface Sparks Outrage After Asking 6-Year-Old Son If He’s Gay On Instagram Live 

By: London JennnCategory: News

Blueface has sparked anger amongst his fanbase after questioning his six-year-old son’s sexuality for the second time. 

The “Thotiana” hitmaker was joined by his son for a question-and-answer session on Instagram Live Monday night (July 31). After asking if his mom has a “fat face,” Blueface changed the topic.  

“Are you gay?” he asked the little boy, who replied that he wasn’t. Blueface pumped his fist in relief before announcing to his viewers, “Hey guys, he’s not gay! We got hope.” 

While he wanted to continue quizzing his son on the topic, the little boy was keen to move on, admitting he didn’t understand the question. “You know what gay is?” Blueface asked. “No,” his son replied before adding, “I really don’t. What else you got?” 

Jaidyen Alexxis, the mother of the rapper’s two children, was off-camera in the back and directed Blueface to change the subject. However, he continued, telling his son that although he would be “upset,” he would accept him if he was gay.  

“Well, if you ever decide to be gay, I would be upset but I would still love you. I’ll still support you, take care of you,” he added.  

“I’m not that,’ the six-year-old replied as his father said, “Cool,” and gave him a dap. 

Last month, Blueface came under fire for questioning his six-year-old son’s sexuality when the little boy left a room with half-naked dancers to find some snacks. 

“Son, come here,” Blueface told the little boy, who wandered off to get some food. “It’s booty cheeks out here and you in here looking for chips. You ain’t gay is you?” 

His most recent questioning faced a similar backlash. Check out some of the reactions below.

Offset Admits Cardi B Didn’t Cheat; He Invented Infidelity Claims During Tequila-Fueled Row 

By: London JennnCategory: News

Offset has admitted Cardi B didn’t cheat on him, despite publicly accusing her of infidelity. The Migos rapper says he only branded his wife a cheater because he was “lit” off tequila and wanted to make her mad.  

The “Clout” hitmaker shocked fans when he seemingly exposed his wife’s infidelity via his Instagram Story in June. “My wife f##### a n###a on me gang yall n####s know how I come,” he wrote in a since-deleted post.

According to Offset, he shared the post in the midst of a tequila-fueled row. “She get crazy at the mouth a little bit, and I was really lit that night,” he said, adding that he “had a little Casamigos here and there.

“I was lit and we’re going back and forth and I’m like, ‘Watch this,’” he said, referring to the infidelity post.

Benzino Says He Once Ran Jay-Z & Dame Dash Out “The Source” Offices With 7 Armed Goons 

By: London JennnCategory: News

Ray Benzino took a walk down memory lane recently, looking back at his time as co-owner of The Source. At one point, he recalled a time he claimed he ran Jay-Z and Dame Dash out of the building with the help of more than half a dozen armed men. 

During an appearance on the We In Miami Podcast, the former executive was asked if he had ever been pressed while at the magazine. According to Benzino, on one occasion, Jay-Z and Dame Dash came to The Source offices “on some rah rah s###.” He claimed the Roc-A-Fella co-founders were unhappy and “complaining about a cover situation.” 

Benzino invited the duo to a meeting to discuss the issue, but he wasn’t taking any chances if things went left. “We had n####s strapped up in different rooms, but they didn’t know that,” he revealed. “We wanted them to think that they was up there with one person.” 

Benzino Claims Jay-Z & Dame Dash “Had To Get Up Out Of There”

However, Benzino said once Jay-Z and Dame Dash “started getting loud,” things took a turn. “N####s start coming out them rooms,” he explained. “They had to get up out of there.” 

The “Love & Hip-Hop” star said he didn’t know if the duo was armed, but he and his goons were ready for anything. “There was at least seven of us,” he added. “There was at least seven guns up in The Source office at that moment.” 

Benzino said it could’ve turned ugly “immediately,” with Jay-Z and Dame Dash if things had gone differently. “If somebody’s pressing up on me, that’s it,” he told his host. “It’s war. Heavens will fall if you trying to press up on me. You trying to bully me? You trying to take something from me? I’m the taker, I grew up taking. Nobody takes from me.” Check out the clip below and watch the interview at the end of the page.

When the tour rolled into Philly Monday night (July 31), Drake linked up with his former nemesis, Meek Mill, who walked alongside him as he made his entrance at the Wells Fargo Center. Check out the clip below. 

Drake And Meek Mill’s Infamous Beef

Meek Mill kicked off one of the most talked about Hip-Hop feuds of recent years, back in July 2015, when he accused Drake of using a ghostwriter on their collaboration “R.I.C.O.” The Philly native went on a Twitter rant blasting comparisons with Drake because “He don’t write his own raps!” 

Drake fired back at Meek Mill on wax, first on “Charged Up” before following up just days later with the scathing diss track “Back to Back.” While Meek responded on “Wanna Know,” Drake came out on top and even teased a third diss but never officially released the song. 

The beef simmered for another three years before the pair finally squashed the bad blood in 2018. Meek Mill joined Drake onstage in Boston, surprising fans after rising up from a trap door to perform “Dreams And Nightmares.” 

“We need more peace in the world, we need more love in the world,” Drake explained to the Boston audience. “Meek Mill, that’s my brother, that’s my n#### from day one. So we were able to day this tonight in front of y’all and I’m very honoured you were here to witness it. Thank you to Meek Mill and all his Dreamchasers family for coming to Boston.” 

The duo later collaborated on “Going Bad,” taken from Meek Mill’s 2018 album ‘Championships. Watch the video below.

Top Ten Must-See Concerts and Music Events Playing in the US This Summer

By: Staff WriterCategory: Uncategorized

Summer is nearly upon us, and for music fans, this means a wealth of possibilities when it comes to catching fabulous live acts across the country. 

2023 is something of a comeback year for live music. The coronavirus pandemic put many tours on hold for the best part of two years, but now things are back in motion, and all your favorite bands and artists are on the road, ready to entertain you.

Another factor that is driving a renaissance in live music comes due to technological leaps that have occurred, meaning that the internet has pretty much rendered the purchasing of physical music null and void.

This means that bands and artists as a whole are looking to maximize the potential revenue they can secure from playing live; this has led to far more concerts taking place, as well as a marked improvement in the overall production of these shows.

If you are keen to see your musical heroes on stage, then this is where to buy concert tickets, a handy overview of the different sites out there that can aid you in your endeavors. 

To get you in the mood ahead of the summer season, here are ten acts and events you are going to want to attend in the United States in 2023.

Billy Joel and Stevie Nicks

Why watch one legend when you can watch two? The piano man himself teams up with Fleetwood Mac siren Stevie Nicks on a number of US dates, the first of which sees the duo playing the Foxborough in September, followed by a slew of other great performances across the country.

Metallica

There are not many acts that generate as much anticipation and excitement as when Metallica is in town. The experienced rockers will be bursting out tunes like Enter Sandman in the United States this year, with a series of gigs at New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium being a potential highlight.

Coldplay

This English band put on a spectacular show and now have an arsenal of hits that makes them a fantastic act to watch live this year. Their world tour rolls back into the United States in September, and their dates at the SnapDragon Stadium in San Diego look particularly inviting.

Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift is perhaps the most popular singer-songwriter on the planet right now, and when she announces tour dates, they sell out in literally seconds; that is a testament to her amazing popularity. 

She’ll be playing across the United States in 2023, and from July, she’ll be ably supported by the excellent HAIM, so even more of a reason to get your tickets now!

Maroon 5

If you’ve never seen Adam Levine and the boys in action, then you need to rectify this immediately, especially if you are a big fan of the Moves Like Jagger stars. They play a series of big gigs in Las Vegas in July and beyond, and this may be the best location to join their tour in 2023.

Katy Perry

Another act that is going big on Las Vegas in 2023 is Katy Perry, and the I Kissed a Girl star has a series of sell-out dates in the Resorts World arena that are sure to be nothing short of astounding. 

Katy Perry is the consummate professional and puts on a show that is equal parts musically adept and something of an over-the-top catwalk, and you are going to love every single minute! 

Rod Stewart

Even with his advancing years, Rod Stewart is a rocker at heart, and his endless list of hits will keep you entertained across the US in 2023. From late July, he’ll make his way across the country, starting with shows in Nevada, Colorado, and Arizona before heading to New York with immense support act Cheap Trick.

Ed Sheeran

The ginger Brit has captivated the US audience ever since he waltzed into town, and he is as popular as ever, and his stadium shows are pure perfection. As he plays the US leg of his world tour, he’s also joined by some very capable support acts, including Khalid and Ben Kweller.

Lollapalooza 2023

This festival is quite the occasion, and every year it hits the spot, and the line-up for 2023 does not disappoint. Among the leading acts to take the many stages for the event in Chicago are Billie Eilish, Kendrick Lamar, Lana Del Rey, and the Red Hot Chilli Peppers. There is literally something for everyone. 

Austin City Limits Festival 2023

The line-up for 2023’s Austin City Limits is a great fusion of musical genres and a veritable who’s who of top talent. Among those on stage are Kendrick Lamar, the Foo Fighters, Mumford and Sons, Shania Twain, and Alanis Morissette). 

These are just a small selection of the great music events that are taking place in the United States in the summer and fall, and frankly, this list could have numbered 100+ and still only be discussing monumental never to be missed concerts. So what are you waiting for? Get your ticket and enjoy the show!
