Minutes ago, fans left the historic Wrigley Field, as The Foo Fighters played through the rain to give a killer set to a sold out Chicago crowd. Attributing the Windy City for the launch of his career, Dave Grohl told fans about the first rock show that made him want to be a rock star, just across the street from Wrigley as he saw his openers tonight (Naked Raygun) perform. In addition to Naked Raygun, fans tonight also saw great sets from more of Chicago’s finest, with Cheap Trick and Urge Overkill. It’s not easy to follow Billy Joel (who performed at Wrigley just two nights ago), but boot and all, nothing was stopping Grohl and The Foo Fighters from giving Chicago a hell of a performance tonight!
Check out our photos below and be sure to check out if The Foo Fighters are coming to a city near you.
Minutes ago, Billy Joel stepped off stage after his sold-out performance at the legendary Wrigley Field in Chicago, the home of the Chicago Cubs and a second home to Billy Joel in the nation’s Second City. Now the only musician to ever perform four shows at Wrigley and the only musician to perform at the ballpark in consecutive years, the Piano Man gave his Windy City fans everything they wanted and more tonight. Fans were also treated to an opening set from ‘Chariot’ and ‘I Don’t Want To Be’ singer, Gavin DeGraw.
Check out our photos from Billy Joel’s Chicago tour stop below and if he is coming to a city near you, get your tickets now (if it’s not too late)!
During his recent headlining tour, the King Wavy Tour, Ventura rapper/singer Kyle debuted a live performance of his new track, ‘Really? Yeah!” Whether you caught one of the preview performances live, saw it on YouTube, or have never heard it before, today we have the CDQ version of the ‘Keep It Real’ rapper’s new record. This one is fire, so don’t miss out!
One Direction’s huge stadium tour has been out-shadowed this past week by the news that the guys will soon be going on an extended hiatus come next March. While fans can only speculate whether a “hiatus” truly means a hiatus, or whether taking a break will lead to a total break up, fans in Milwaukee Tuesday night, got to put everything aside and just enjoy one hell of a show, even with it being 1D’s first show since confirming their hiatus. With parking lines spanning the length of a hundred semi-trucks and with lines to the door long enough to wrap around the entire stadium (and maybe to Wrigley Field), One Direction’s fans could not wait any longer until showtime. But until Harry, Liam, Niall and Louie hit the stage, the 1D dominated crowd was still treated to a great opening performance by ‘I Love It’ singers, Icona Pop. The Swedish electricpop duo performed about 10 songs, including ‘We Got The World’, ‘Clap Snap’ and ‘Then We Kiss’, until they left the stage asking Milwaukee just one question. “Are you ready for One Direction?” Even if the signs in the crowd were for the eyes of the headliners, with huge recognizable hits from Icona Pop, the duo gave a great set to warm up the crowd.
Being so close to home and so close to Hollywood, you would only imagine that Taylor Swift’s surprise guests for her Los Angeles leg of her 1989 World Tour (aka her sold out residency at the Staples Center) would really turn up. And with appearances from Justin Timberlake and Selena Gomez, Taylor’s fans definitely got their money’s worth and then some (and then some more). But no one could ever have imagined that her best guest would be a fictional one (kind of)!
Last night, during another sold out night at the Staples Center, Taylor brought out actress Lisa Kudrow to perform an awesome duet of ‘Smelly Cat’, the fictional hit from Kudrow’s character Phoebe Buffay, from the huge sitcom Friends. Watch the two perform ‘Smelly Cat’ below and check out our photos from Taylor’s Chicago performance here!
Big K.R.I.T. is hitting the road this fall on his forthcoming massive 38-date Kritically Acclaimed Tour, and of course with a new tour you need some new music to perform as well. Well to warm up fans until K.R.I.T. comes to a city near you, the Cadillactica rapper dropped a new track on his Soundcloud. The new record, titled ’86’, is another K.R.I.T. produced banger for your whip, so get ready to blow those speakers out.
Stream ’86’ and check out Big K.R.I.T.’s Kritically Acclaimed Tour dates below and get your tickets here.
Inspired by the early hip-hop movement, GRiZ describes his new track ‘Feelin High” as “a tribute to one of my favorite songs, ‘2000 Seasons’ by Reflection Eternal.” With a trumpet solo by the talented Eric Bloom, this is definitely a smooth record. And for GRiZ’s Chicago fans, hopefully this can keep you warmed up until his forthcoming Chicago performance at Freaky Deaky in October, or until he comes to a city near you (check out his tour dates below).
Last night, One Direction brought their “On The Road Again” Tour (get your tickets here) to Milwaukee’s Miller Park. Knowing that it just may be the band’s last performance in Wisconsin, as the group is taking an extended hiatus next year to pursue solo projects, the fans put just as much energy into the stadium as 1D put into their memorable performance. Full of some of their biggest hits and fan favorites, the night included a great opening set from Icona Pop, a Harry Styles led moment of silence for the Green Bay Packer’s Jordy Nelson (who recently tore his ACL), and a killer performance of their brand new single ‘Drag Me Down’.
Check out our photos from One Direction’s “On The Road Again Tour” stop at Milwaukee’s Miller Par below (and check out our review soon)!
From his recent Fuk Wat They Talkin Bout mixtape, Tyga released his new music video for ‘Glitter’ today. Making references to his relationship with Kylie Jenner (we will assume he wrote this rap after she turned 18) in the new record, you can get the mixtape now on iTunes, while Tyga drives through Los Angeles in his new music video. Watch the official music video for ‘Glitter’ below.
‘White Iverson’ rapper Post Malone made a recent stop at Power 105.1’s The Breakfast Club and tackled an often unspoken topic in the music industry, “industry plants”. For those who don’t know, an industry plant (as described by Complex) is “is a pithy derogative that we (haters) wield to imply that a rapper or singer is an upstart fraud, a record label puppet, a focus group-tested vessel of creativity so-called.” When Charlamagne Tha God warned Post that he would get questions about white privilege, Post joked about accusations that he is an industry plant. “I’m a industry plant,” said Post. When asked what that means, Post said “I don’t know, that’s what they call me.” Not sure if Post (or really anyone) is a plant, but it’s good to see he has a sense of humor about it.
