Twenty One Pilots to bring the chills to North America in 2022

Things are about to get a lot more “icy” in camp Twenty One Pilots.

On Friday (Nov. 19), the Ohio-founded duo announced plans to embark on a massive 23-stop tour during the late summer months of 2022. The trek will kick off on Aug. 18 at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, Minnesota, and conclude on Sept. 24 at the Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle.

The act will also visit major markets including New York, Philadelphia, Nashville, Dallas, San Francisco, and of course Cleveland.

For those who want to get a head start on getting tickets for themselves or someone else (nothing screams “best holiday gift ever” than tickets to a major concert), registration for first access is currently available through Ticketmaster’s Verified Fan website. Registration closes on Sunday, Nov. 21, at midnight EST.

All remaining tour tickets will hit the market next Wednesday, Nov. 24, at 10 a.m. local time. The complete list of upcoming tour dates can be found below.

In addition to announcing a major North American tour, the duo has also released a surprise digital deluxe version of their recently released album, Scaly and Icy. Titled Scaled and Icy (Livestream Version), the deluxe album includes tracks from the original album as well as never-before-released versions of some fan-favorite tunes from the group’s global streaming event from earlier this year. The newly released re-issue is available on all streaming platforms.

Adele brings the heartache with ‘Easy on Me’

Hello Adele, and thank you for making our weekend a little sadder (in a good way).

On Friday (Oct. 15), the British songstress finally (FINALLY) released her first new song in five years.

Titled “Easy on Me,” the song is precisely what we’ve grown to expect from the singer. The track, which was teased earlier this week, gives fans a brutally honest look at her relationship and divorce from ex-husband Simon Konecki.

Instead of giving you all a breakdown, we’re going to let you listen to the track and make up your own theories.

Check out “Easy on Me” above.

“Easy on Me” is the first single from Adele’s highly anticipated fourth album, 30. The record is due out Nov. 19. Pre-orders for the record are currently available here.

There will be several special editions of the record. The Target deluxe CD will feature three bonus tracks. Walmart will offer a clear exclusive double vinyl, and Amazon will provide a white exclusive double vinyl.

30 is the long (and we mean long) awaited follow-up to 2015’s 25.

Ed Sheeran to release ‘=’ in October

Welcome back, Ed Sheeran.

On Thursday (Aug. 19), the British musician announced the upcoming release of his fourth studio album. Titled = (Equals), the record is due out Oct. 29 through Atlantic Records. Fans have already gotten a firsthand listen to the new album with the release of its first single “Bad Habits.”

Pre-orders for the record are now available here.

“‘=’ (Equals) is a really personal record and one that means a lot to me,” explains the musician.

“My life changed greatly over the past few years – I got married, became a father, experienced loss, and I reflect on these topics over the course of the album. I see it as my coming-of-age record, and I can’t wait to share this next chapter with you.”

To coincide with the new album announcement, Sheeran has revealed the album’s tracklisting. The 14-song album will include songs about love “The Joker and the Queen,” “First Times,” “2step”), loss (“Visiting Hours”), resilience (“Can’t Stop the Rain”), and fatherhood (“Sandman,” “Leave Your Life”).

As if all of that wasn’t enough, Sheeran has also released the official performance video for the song “Visiting Hours.” The almost four-minute track finds Sheeran coming to terms with the loss of his mentor and friend, Michael Gudinski. The song was reportedly written shortly after his passing and features backing vocals from Gudinski’s close friends, Kylie Minogue and Jimmy Barnes.

Watch the video for “Visiting Hours” above.

Coheed and Cambria return with “Shoulders”

If you’re a Coheed and Cambria fan…well, we have some good news for you! The group is back.

On Wednesday (July 21), the New York founded act released a brand new song titled “Shoulders.”

The three-and-a-half-minute song marks the band’s first “proper studio recording” in nearly three years.

According to the accompanying press release, “Shoulders” touches on the highs and lows of the band’s multi-decade career in the music world and “how at times it can be frustrating to be an outsider to trendy circles, but in the end, doing it your own way has the biggest rewards.”

Coheed and Cambria vocalist/guitarist Claudio Sanchez adds: “In art, in your career, in relationships… No matter how much you give of yourself or try, you have to accept that not everything in life can be a perfect fit.”

Check out the new song above.

“Shoulders” comes three years after Coheed and Cambria released their ninth studio album, Vaxis – Act I: The Unheavenly Creatures, in 2018. No word on whether “Shoulders” will be a standalone single or part of an upcoming record.

Next month, Coheed and Cambria will hit the touring circuit alongside The Used for their co-headlining amphitheater tour. The 18-city trek kicks off on Aug. 27 at the FivePoint Amphitheater in Los Angeles. It concludes a month later, on Sept. 24, at Daily’s Place in Jacksonville, Florida. Meet Me @ the Altar, and carolesdaughter will perform on select dates.

The Killers to release ‘Pressure Machine’ in August, reveal a massive 2022 North American tour

What happens when the world comes to a screeching halt due to a pandemic?

Well, if you’re a musician, you probably took to the recording studio to make some new music…and that’s precisely what The Killers did.

On Monday (July 19), the Las Vegas-founded band announced plans to release their seventh studio album next month.

Titled Pressure Machine, the forthcoming release is due out Aug. 13 through the band’s longtime home of Island Records.

This will mark the group’s second album to be released in a two-year time span. The band released their sixth studio album Imploding the Mirage, last August.

According to the press material that accompanied the announcement, the new set of tunes was inspired by frontman Brandon Flowers’ experience of growing up in the small town of Nephi, Utah.

“We were discussing [Brandon] moving to Nephi as a kid and being stuck in the middle of nowhere,” explains drummer Ronnie Vannucci Jr. “And during COVID-19, it started to feel like we were all in the middle of nowhere.”

Continues Flowers: “I discovered this grief that I hadn’t dealt with, many memories of my time in Nephi are tender. But the ones tied to fear or great sadness were emotionally charged. I’ve got more understanding now than when we started the band, and hopefully I was able to do justice to these stories and these lives in this little town that I grew up in.”

To coincide with the new album announcement, the band has released a one-minute trailer for it. The clip features snippets of different people discussing what it’s like to live in an unnamed small town. Check out the trailer above.

Last month, the group joined forces with Bruce Springsteen on a track titled “Dustland.” The track is a re-imagined version of “A Dustland Fairytale” that can be found on 2008’s Day & Age.

In support of Pressure Machine, the Killers have also unveiled their lengthy North American tour itinerary for fall 2022. The trek will include stops in many big market cities, including, San Francisco, Denver, Houston, Miami, Atlanta, Chicago, Toronto, and (of course) their hometown of Las Vegas.

The almost two-month outing kicks off on Aug. 19, 2022, at the Rogers Arena in Vancouver and concludes on Oct. 8, 2022, at the Little Caesars Arena in Detroit.

Tickets for the upcoming tour go on sale this Friday, July 23, at 10 am local time on Ticketmaster.
