Bullet For My Valentine to take ‘Gravity’ on the road this fall

Bullet For My Valentine’s 2018 was already filled with nonstop touring engagements, but don’t expect the band to slow down any time soon. On Friday (April 27), the Welsh group announced a brand new tour which will find them performing across the United States during the fall months. Titled the Gravity tour – after their upcoming sixth studio album – the tour will find the rock band visiting venues across the country during the months of September and October.

The tour will officially kick off on Sept. 13 at Harrah’s Voodoo Lounge in Kansas City, Missouri and conclude a little over a month later on Oct. 16 at the House of Blues in Las Vegas. Though Bullet For My Valentine have yet to confirm who will be opening for them during the trek, they do assure fans that that information will come at a later date.

Pre-sales tickets for the Gravity tour are currently available on the band’s website. Each ticket purchased will include the option of receiving the band’s new album which will be released on June 29 through Spinefarm Records. Earlier this week, the band released the official music video for Gravity‘s lead single, “Over It.”

The Gravity tour is just another massive excursion to add to their lengthy list of 2018 tour dates. The band kicked off the new year by hitting the road with Avenged Sevenfold and next month, they will join Trivium and Toothgrinder on their springtime tour. This weekend, they will appear at Florida-based sister festivals Welcome to Rockville in Jacksonville and Fort Rock in Sunrise/Fort Lauderdale.

The Used announces fall tour with Glassjaw

After a much-needed break from touring, The Used has announced plans to hit the road once again later this year. On Monday (Aug. 21), the Utah-founded band unveiled plans to hit the touring circuit later this fall for a month-long trek across the country. The upcoming tour will kick off on Oct. 27 at The Masonic in San Francisco and wrap up a month later on Nov. 29 at the Showbox SoDo in Seattle.

As for The Used, the group spent most of the past year touring around the world with stops in Europe, North America, and Australia to celebrate their 15-year anniversary of a being a band. To celebrate the momentous occasion, they played two-night engagements at each tour stop. During the first day, they performed their self-titled debut and on the second night performed their break-through sophomore album, In Love and Death.

The Used’s last studio album was 2014’s Imaginary Enemy while they released their live album, Live & Acoustic at the Palace just in time for their 15-year anniversary tour. While the band has been hush about new music, they did post on social media that they would be releasing a new song on Monday.

Fall Out Boy announces new record with new song and massive tour

Last week, Fall Out Boy began to tease that something big was on the horizon. At the time, the band had promised all would be revealed on Friday, April 28. Feeling in a giving mood, the four-piece updated fans the following day that the big reveal would be a done a day earlier. On Thursday (April 27), the Chicago-founded band kept their promise and unveiled a slew of good news.

Sending out a mass email to their legion of followers, the band unveiled that they will be releasing their seventh studio album in the fall. The new record will be titled M A N I A and is set to hit stores on Sept. 15. While they did confirm the release date, the band did slip in that more surprises will be unleashed between now and then.

In addition to announcing the new record, the group also unveiled the music video for its lead single; a track titled “Young and Menace.” Sounding very “unlike Fall Out Boy,” as many fans have pointed out, the new song does give the impression that the band is trying to expand their sounds from what we are accustomed to hearing. While the audio version of the track would have been enough, FOB unveiled the official music video to accompany the song’s debut. Watch “Young and Menace” above.

Because announcing a new record and debuting a new song wasn’t enough for Fall Out Boy, the guys also announced a massive North American tour to coincide with the album’s release. The “M A N I A Tour” will kick off on Oct. 20 at the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland and wrap up almost a month later on Nov. 18 at the Talking Stick Resort Arena in Phoenix. Tickets will officially go on sale beginning next Friday, May 5. For those who want to get their hands on tickets first, Fall Out Boy is giving those a special opportunity to do so.

If you pre-order M A N I A before Sunday (April 30), you will be given a pre-sale code to purchase tickets and VIP packages beginning Monday (May 1) at 10 a.m. local times. As a special bonus treat, Fall Out Boy has reduced the price of their album bundles until Sunday. Then on Monday, prices will be raised. the group has also announced that  $1 from every ticket sold will go towards the Fall Out Boy Fund; a fund to give back to their hometown of Chicago. For more information about the tour or the new album, head on over to Fall Out Boy’s website while the full list of tour dates can be seen below.

M A N I A is the follow-up to the group’s lukewarm-received sixth studio album, 2015’s American Beauty/ American Psycho.

Tool announces handful of new tour stops

Earlier this year, news broke the Tool would be reuniting for a handful of music festivals during the spring months. Now, several months after the music festival announcement, it looks like the band is ready to hit the road for their own, proper tour. On Monday (March 13), the California-founded band unveiled a handful of tour dates. The upcoming tour dates will coincide with the band’s previously scheduled appearances at Boston’s Boston Calling in May and New York’s Governors Ball in June.

The headlining tour announcement may not comes as much of a surprise to fans. Last week, the band’s Facebook was updated with an image from one of their shows and a caption which read “TOOL TOUR DATES HEADS UP.” For many of the cities included on the short list, it will be the first time in a decade that the band will perform there. The tour will kick off on May 24 at the Eaglebank Arena in Fairfax, Virginia and wrap up a few weeks later on June 8 at the Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Illinois. Pre-sale tickets for those in Tool’s Toolarmy will go on sale beginning this Wednesday,  March 15, at 10 a.m. PST. General sales will then begin this Friday, March 17, at 10 a.m. local time.

With a tour scheduled for the spring/summer, it may be assumed that Tool is in the middle of finishing up their highly anticipated new album. Sadly, there doesn’t seem to be any major updates on the new record. It has been confirmed that frontman Maynard James Keenan has already started recording vocals, so maybe a title and release date reveal may be in the near future. The current in-the-works record will be the follow-up to 2006’s 10,000 Days. For now, Tool tour itinerary can be seen below.

TOOL’S SPRING/SUMMER 2017 TOUR DATES:
05/24 – Fairfax, VA @ Eaglebank Arena
05/27 – Bangor, ME @ Darling’s Waterfront Pavilion
05/28 – Boston, MA @ Boston Calling
05/30 – Rochester, NY @ Blue Cross Arena
05/31 – Hamilton, ON @ First Ontario Centre
06/02 – Montreal, QC @ Bell Centre
06/04 – New York, NY @ Governors Ball Music Festival

The Used Announce Co-Headliner for Upcoming Tour

The Used may have been down a member this time last week, but the band didn’t let that stop them with their full schedule of touring.

Today, the four-piece announced they will be heading out on another tour immediately after their tour with Every Time I Die wraps on May 2. Opening acts, Marmozet will be sticking around for the second tour.

One of the biggest surprises come is the announcement that it will be a co-headlining tour with Chevelle. Funny enough, both bands released their last album last April; The Used released their sixth album, Imaginary Enemy while Chevelle released their seventh album, La Gárgola last April.

The Used/Chevelle co-headlining tour will begin on May 4 in Birmingham, AL at Iron City and wrap up on May 22 in Chicago at the Aragon Ballroom. Pre-sales will begin today at 2 p.m. local time while general ticket sales will be available on Friday, Feb. 13 at 10 a.m., local time.

Check out the tour dates below.

Recently, the Utah based band revealed that their longtime guitarist Quinn Allman has decided to take a year-long break from the band. Taking his vacant spot during upcoming shows and appearances will be Saosin guitarist, Justin Shekoski.

Morrissey to Head Out on US Tour in May

Stop the presses, because Morrissey has just announced a full United States tour. That’s right, following a year of ailments and cancelled tour stops, the Moz has revealed that he will be taking the US by storm in different sized venue. If that leaves you a little intrigued, it means that the former-Smiths frontman will be performing in some big named cities such as New York City, Los Angeles and Miami while also giving those in little cities such as Flint, MI and Lewiston, NY a little bit of love.

The singer will begin his trek in the states on May 7 in San Jose at the National Civic Auditorium and will go throughout the country eventually ending on June 21 in New York’s Barclays Center.

The tour dates which are posted below we posted onto the Morrissey fanzine, True to You, but an official statement on the matter will be done tomorrow. For two of the shows, Moz will have guests lined up to open for him: Tom Jones in Los Angeles and Cliff Richard in Brooklyn.

Here’s to hoping that all his ailments are now a thing of the past and the tour goes somewhat without a hitch.

Black Flag Announce New Vocalist

Black Flag pulled a really crappy move when they fired former vocalist, Ron Reyes, mid-set when they were in Australia on tour. But with a new year, they are trying to make 2014 a lot better than 2013 was for them starting with a brand new vocalist.

Thanks to an interview with Rolling Stone, founding member and guitarist, Greg Ginn and the band’s manager for 2013 and fill-in vocalist for the rest of the tour, Mike Vallely spoke out about how Reyes did not fit the band at the moment and how he eventually became disgruntled during the touring.

“I did not threaten him or physically remove him from the stage,” Vallely said about Reyes claims that he went on stage and ordered him to get off. “I just told him very plainly, very simply, that it was over. And he looked at me and he almost seemed relieved. Then he walked off the stage.”

Reyes had a different take on the dismissal saying that it was a relief when he was let go and how the reunion was just a mess from the get-go. He also revealed that he wouldn’t be surprise if Vallely would become the band’s new vocalist because he felt that there was some planning on Vallely and Ginn’s part to make that the final outcome.

Whether or not that was the plan, Vallely did officially become the band’s new vocalist.

“Greg just felt like, ‘I don’t want the Black Flag name to fizzle out with this or be tainted with this record that’s proven to be subpar compared to what the expectations for it were,'” Vallely explains. “He told me he made a mistake by working with Ron and trying to pander to a sort of old-school thing. He just thought that I was the guy for the job. . . I’m not gonna say no to that.”

That doesn’t at all sound suspicious to us.

But keeping up with the “new year, new band” philosophy, both Ginn and Vallely revealed that the band are in fact in the midst of recording some new material and that an extensive Black Flag tour will be happening as soon as May. Let’s hope that nothing as dramatic as a mid-concert firing comes out of 2014 for them.

Jonas Brothers to Head Out on Tour

Looks like the Disney darlings are heading back on the tour circuit after taking sometime off to do separate things for a while.

Last week, the boys’ lyrics video for their first new song in several years made its rounds on the internet. Officially, the song, “Pom Poms” was supposed to be released today, but we all know how the world of modern technology works when it’s faced with sneaky, stealthy, eager fans.

John Mayer Back on Tour

Following a three-year break and a vocal hiatus brought on by throat issues, John Mayer has announced that he will be returning to the stage once again in support of his 2012 release, Born and Raised. The tour is set to kick off on July 6 at Milwaukee’s SummerFest and continue all the way into October.

Mayer’s tour is set to go to 40 cities and four countries including some of the world’s most well-known venues like, the Hollywood Bowl, Luna Park in Buenos Aires, Argentina and Rock in Rio in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil.

Mayer’s opening act will be “American Idol” winner, Phillip Phillips. The “Home” crooner is scheduled to open for the singer on his tour for majority of the tour stops.

Mayer isn’t taking this touring thing lightly because he is currently scheduled to perform at the Tuscaloosa Amphitheater on April 25 and then the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival on April 26. These tour dates will be the first time in over three years that Mayer has done a tour after he was diagnosed with throat granuloma which forced him to cancel tour plans that were already in action. His throat condition also made him have to push back his album a few years while his throat got better.

Mayer was recent quoted as saying, “The greatest gift I have in my life is the opportunity to play again, which is also the opportunity to dream again,” he says about getting a second shot at singing. “My dreams were in escrow, but when I found out this thing in my throat had receded, the most exciting thing for me was having a second chance at a new life. My dreams have come true twice. That’s really cool.”
