Today iHeartMedia announced the return of its huge iHeartRadio music festival in Las Vegas. Taking place this year on September 23rd and 24th, also returning with the festival will be its Daytime Village and Macy’s “iHeartRadio Rising Star” talent search. And while the full lineup for the mega festival will release at some point in the future, iHeartRadio is giving us a sneak peak at the lineup with the announcement of its first two performers, two of the biggest emerging acts in music, Alessia Cara and country music’s Sam Hunt who will perform at the festival’s Daytime Village portion.

Last year’s lineup was epic, with featured performers like Kanye West, Coldplay, Sam Smith, Demi Lovato, Puff Daddy, The Weeknd, Lil Wayne, Fall Out Boy, Disclosure, Hozier, Jason Derulo, Diplo, Trey Songz, Nick Jonas, Jennifer Lopez, The Killers and many more, so if 2016’s lineup is even half as great, it will definitely be a night to remember.

Tickets for the Daytime Village go on sale today at 10 AM PT, which start at $39 (plus taxes and fees). As for tickets to the big event, ticket information and a full lineup will be announced later this summer, so stay tuned!

Watch Lex Allen’s Webster X Assisted Video for “Cream and Sugar”

Milwaukee singer Lex Allen is easily one of the most exciting artists out of Chicago’s sister to the North. With an amazing and beautiful voice, that can be best paralleled to that of John Legend, but with a complete style of his own, Allen is not only immensely talented but the bravery he shows through the sexuality in his music, while crossing genres with a historically unaccepting style of music, is without a doubt unmatched even in 2016. His raw talent mixed with his honesty makes him one our favorite artists to watch in the new year.

Allen’s new record is no exception to all the things that make him great. ‘Cream and Sugar’, which is produced by Q the Sun and assisted by a verse from the equally talented Milwaukee artist Webster X, is a catchy track that is sure to get you to sing along. With visuals directed by Cody LaPlant, the track and music video together demonstrate the vast creativity from New Age Narcissism, a Milwaukee collective with three of its members on this record alone (Allen, Webster X, Q the Sun).

Watch and listen to Lex Allen’s new music video and record ‘Cream and Sugar’ below.

“Billy Joel sells more tickets per year at Wrigley Field than the Chicago Cubs,” is a joke I would make if the Cubs were still a horrible baseball team. But either way, Billy Joel sure does play Wrigley Field a ton, and will huge sell out crowds. In fact, not other artist has ever performed at Wrigley Field more than Billy Joel. However the Piano Man isn’t letting his record stop at four Wrigley performances, as this year Billy Joel will perform at the historic baseball field for a fifth time, extending his record by one.

Billy Joel is scheduled to perform on August 26th with tickets ranging from $49.50 to $129.50. Tickets are expected to go on sale at 10 AM on January 23rd via Cubs.com, and check out our photos from Billy Joel’s last Wrigley Field visit below.

Check Out “Street Dreams”, Pigeons and Planes’ Documentary on Hustling Mixtapes on the Streets

BY TER STAFF

Pigeons and Planes has took an in depth look into the world of rappers who still hit the streets to hustle their mixtapes on the street for their first short documentary. While Soundcloud and the internet as a whole dominate as today’s primary way to share your music, the gorilla marketing of selling your CD to people on the street will never die.

Anyone who has stepped outside of rural Iowa has been approached by a rapper on a sidewalk, trying to make a sale. “Give me a chance like she gave you,” I was once told by a struggling rapper while walking with my girlfriend. “Street Dreams” is a unique look at three rappers who live this life, a window into the world of aspiring artists whose hard work doesn’t stop when their track is mixed and mastered.

Watch “Street Dreams” below or at Pigeons and Planes directly.
