All Time Low’s Future Hearts Tour to Hit Canada

Get ready Canada because the boys of All Time Low are heading your way this Fall.

A few weeks after wrapping up the North American leg of their Future Hearts tour, All Time Low have announced they will be heading to Canada to give their Canadian Hustlers a little love of their own.

The new leg of the tour will begin on Sept. 17 in Portland, ME (yes, we know a United States city) before heading north of the border to Metrpolis in Montreal on Sept. 18. The short tour will then wrap up at the Vogue Theater in Vancouver almost two weeks later on Sept. 27.

The list of upcoming tour dates can be seen below, so if you’re a Canadian Hustler, it might be a good idea to get your tickets now because several U.S. dates were sold out in no time.

Marilyn Manson to Press Charges for Canadian Scuffle

Well, it’s been a hell of a week for Marilyn Manson.

During the weekend, the “Antichrist Superstar” was punched in the face after allegedly calling a man’s girlfriend a “bitch” at a Denny’s in Alberta, Canada.

The incident occurred after his concert at Lethbridge’s Enmax Center this past Saturday (April 4) during the Alberta stop of his “Hell Not Hallelujah” Tour in support of his recent album, The Pale Emperor.

When the news made headlines, via TMZ, the gossip site had reported that Manson instigated the fight, but turns out that the witness accounts of the scuffle were contradictory.

According to Manson’s manager, the musician was enjoying a meal at Denny’s when two women approached him to ask for photos. Manson agreed and was then punched in the face by one of the women’s boyfriend.

“He was being friendly with everyone, anyone who wanted a picture, he would give them a picture, anyone who wanted an autograph he would give them an autograph,” explains restaurant patron/witness Johnny Scott.

“They were just talking and the guy just punched him right in the face without any provocation. He just took the shot and ran off right away. Then, I remember seeing him in the parking lot ducking behind cars, he looked terrified.”

And now the guy has a real reason to be terrified. Unlike when the police arrived on the scene, Manson and his makeup artist, who was also hit in the scuffle, have decided to press charges against the assailant.

On a side note, don’t punch anyone especially a big time musician, in the face for no reason at all.

Black Veil Brides Frontman Calls Out Heckler

We know that there are times when some of our favorite bands decided to head out on tour with certain bands that we can do without. It’s just part of the music world.

Lately, with social media and people trying to push the limit, “fans” have begun to voice their distaste for those bands and some of band members have had enough of it which leads us to what happened during yesterday’s Black Veil Brides’ show in Vancouver.

The band, who are currently on tour with Memphis May Fire, were on stage when some dude in the audience started heckling them. After having enough, frontman Andy Biersack stopped the show to berate the guy, who kept screaming for Memphis May Fire to return.

In the two videos posted below, You can see Biersack yell the guy, call him out, throw the microphone at him to speak his mind, and then launch at the crowd.

Yeah, insane.

While we do not agree with either side, if the guy did not want to see Black Veil Brides, he should have just left the show after Memphis May Fire instead of sticking around.

What did he think was going to happen, MMF was going to come back on stage just to appease him? Come on, dude, get real.

Canada’s Amnesia Rockfest Announce Tenth Anniversary Line-Up and Reunions

Canada’s Amnesia Rockfest will be celebrating its tenth anniversary in a big way this year with artists like System of a Down, Linkin Park, The Offspring, and Slayer making the trip to Montebello, QC for the weekend-long festivities.

But even with the big name headliners for this year’s event, it looks like the theme might be reunions and anniversaries. One of the several bands reuniting this year at the show will be Thrice, who officially said good-bye to fans in 2012.

Late last year, the band posted a cryptic photograph on their social media accounts with the band’s name and “2015.” Since then, there have been no updates unless you count frontman Dustin Kensrue releasing a new song yesterday or drummer Riley Breckenridge being part of Angels and Airwaves.

The new year is a month and a half in and it looks like one of the big things coming for them in 2015 is a reunion at the show. The timing of the reunion couldn’t come at a better time for fans of the California band since their fourth studio record, Vheissu, turns ten in October.

Sadly, this is as close as we have gotten to any updates from the Thrice camp.

But don’t leave it to Thrice to have all the fun during the weekend; Refused, From Autumn to Ashes and Atreyu will all be reuniting during the weekend-long festival. but like we said, it seems Amnesia is taking a page out of Riot Fest’s book and having bands performing some important albums from their discography in full.

The Offspring will perform Americana, the Deftones will perform Around the Fur and Rancid will perform…And Out Come the Wolves.

Check out the full line-up below.

Amnesia Rockfest will take place during the weekend of June 18-21.

“Weird Al” Taking the ‘Mandatory Fun’ on the Road

“Weird Al” Yankovic might not be headlining this year’s Super Bowl Halftime (believe us, we tried as hard as we could), but it looks like the funny man will be taking his parody songs on the road. Who needs a stinking football game, right?

Fresh off his appearance on the Monty Python-esque ABC show, Galavant, the musician has revealed he will be heading out on a massive 82-date world tour.

The tour will begin on May 12 with a five-day residency at Las Vegas’ Planet Hollywood before moving on to the rest of the tour stops which we’re sure visits pretty much every state in mainland United States as well as some Canadian dates before heading across the pond to Europe to wrap up in early October.

5 Seconds of Summer to Head Out on Headlining Tour in 2015

Love them or hate them, 5 Seconds of Summer are one of the breakout acts of this Summer.

Sorry people who dislike them, a lot.

In support of their debut record, the Australian boy band have announced that they will be hitting the North American amphitheater touring circuit.

Insert tween girl screams here.

Though the tour isn’t scheduled to happen until Summer 2015, we’ve seen how fangirls (and boys) start planning a year in advance, so this is good news for them. Touring with One Direction probably helped them learn how to maneuver around all the crazy.

The tour which will feature 28 stops in both the United States and Canada, will begin on Friday, July 17, 2015 at the Mandalay Bay Event Center in Las Vegas and wrap up on Sunday, September 13, 2015 at the Cruzan Amphitheater in West Palm Beach, FL.

They also announced three headlining shows for this November; one in Phoenix and two at The Forum in Los Angeles.

In other news, the quartets self-titled debut album, reached the crowning spot on the Billboard 200 chart. Not to shabby for only having an EP to promote and two singles (“She Looks So Perfect” and “Don’t Stop”).

The Killers Get “Fancy”

We would be the first to admit that Iggy Azalea’s “Fancy” has become one of our Summer 2014 staples, though we aren’t sure if it’s partially due to the Clueless-inspired music video or Charli XCX’s vocals on the track. (Azalea’s rapping is whatever, in our opinion).

It looks like we aren’t the only ones who rock the song on loud in our cars. During their stop at Montreal’s Bell Centre last week, something really cool happened when the Las Vegas band covered the Top 20 hit, though it was a short cover of their version of the track which slowed down the tempo and featured a lyrics change  (“From LA to Tokyo” was replaced by “From Las Vegas to Montreal”) as well as frontman Brandon Flowers’ iconic keyboards.

The coolest part of the video, which can be seen below? When a silhouette of drummer Ronnie Vannucci did a little dance to the song.

Didn’t think rock star rolled like that, huh?

The Story So Far Members Confront Security Guard About Crowdsurfer

We all know that things can get crazy at concert, especially at festivals like Warped Tour, but what happens when the people that are there to help protect you are the ones causing the harm? That’s exactly what happened at yesterday’s tour stop in Montreal, Canada.

During The Story So Far’s set an audience member decided that it would be wise to crowd surf even though the Warped sign telling audience members to refrain was placed on the stage for all to read. Sadly, one of the security guards decided that it was wise of them to take the punishment further than they should have. In an acquired video, straight from someone in the audience, you can see around the 0:35 mark, a security grab the crowdsurfer and threw them on the ground.

The Story So Far members quickly jumped off the stage right in the middle of the song to fend off the security guard that had roughly manhandled the crowdsurfer. Things, of course, got crazy as the video shows a fight breaking out instantly after the band members jumped off the stage. Words were exchanged and it looks like those words were not “would you like a tea party” because a melee soon began. After the craziness died down, the kid was check out and asked if he was OK, before the band returned to their previously scheduled set.

The two video from the confrontation can be seen below.

Warped founder, Kevin Lyman took to Twitter this morning to confirm what had happened and that the security company that the guard worked for haf been contacted about what took place with video proof of what occurred.

Some of you ha asked about the #tssf security incident, I have a video that we will send to the local security company, it will be felt wth.
