Coachella’s coming! Dates have finally been announced for the artsy music fest that brings everyone and their ex-boyfriend’s momma’s uncles out. Spend your college savings for three days of unforgettable, blazing hot magic here.
LA folks, win tickets to see Flosstradamus. Subdrive is giving two tickets to see the Chi-town DJ duo at the Avalon on Friday October 10. The homeboys will be performing alongside Marshall Barnes and Hyphy Crunk. Ch-ch-check it here.
Coldplay and Jay-Z, can I get a wha, huh? Yet another legendary crossover collabo goes down as Coldplay will be releasing a new digital-only EP that will include a remix of their latest single, “Lost!” featuring the Jigga Man himself. The four-track mix comes out November 10.
Hold up, what about Mrs. Jay-Z? Beyonce shows she’s the quite the overachiever once again, releasing two new singles at once. The singles, “If I Were A Boy” and “Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)” are rumored to be just a couple out of 70 songs that homegirl recorded for her latest self-titled album coming out November 18. Can you say perfectionist?!?
Usher reveals tour dates to the ladies. The one-month club hop, dubbed “One Night Stand: Ladies Only Tour” will be catered to women, but men are allowed as well. My question is, who did he think he was catering to in the first place? Catch him in the “intimate setting” at New York 11/3; Chicago 11/13; San Francisco 11/18; Los Angeles 11/19-20; and Las Vegas 11/21. For more dates and ticket info, check here.
Ah, yes, John Legend’s more like it. The singer-songwriter will be embarking on a worldwide tour starting November 19 in Minneapolis. Special guest Raphael Saadiq will be accompanying Mr. Legend for the first leg. Now that’s what I’m talkin’ ’bout! Check out dates here. Legend’s upcoming album, Evolver, drops October 28.
Umm, okay. Chi-town’s finest rapper Common seems to be with the in-crowd these days (walk away from the light!), Weezer breaks five world records in the new “Troublemaker” music video, and Moby starts a punk band. Epic fail for all? You be the judge.
