The Black Crowes have officially announced their return to the road with a headlining North American tour set to begin this September.
The news comes in the wake of Aerosmith’s decision to cancel their farewell tour due to frontman Steven Tyler’s larynx injury. The Black Crowes were originally scheduled to support Aerosmith on that tour, but with those plans now scrapped, the band is moving forward with their own tour, much to the delight of their fans.
In a statement shared on social media, The Black Crowes explained: “Due to the cancellation of the Aerosmith Tour, we also had to move a few of the previously announced show dates and unfortunately have to cancel the Tucson, Wanatchee, and Verona shows. Original tickets for all the rescheduled dates will be honored at the new shows, and all ticketholders will receive an email directly from their point of purchase with more information.”
The upcoming tour will span over three months, kicking off on Sept. 27 in Northfield, OH, and concluding in December.
Happiness Bastards marks the first new studio record from singer Chris Robinson and guitarist Rich Robinson in 15 years. The album follows the siblings’ reunion in 2019, where they performed over 150 shows across 20 countries to celebrate the 30th anniversary of their breakthrough 1990 album Shake Your Money Maker.
In a statement upon the album’s release in March, Chris Robinson said, “Happiness Bastards is our love letter to rock ‘n’ roll. Rich and I are always writing and creating music; that has never stopped for us, and it is always where we find harmony together. This record represents that.”
Brother Rich Robinson added, “This album is a continuation of our story as a band. Our years of experience writing and making music and touring the world are represented in this record, and we were brilliantly guided by one of the best producers in the business, Jay Joyce. I am incredibly proud of what we put together.”
For fans eager to see The Black Crowes live, pre-sale tickets for the tour go on sale today, Aug. 21, with general tickets available on Friday, Aug. 23.

The Harris-Walz campaign’s love affair with pop music continued in full force on the second night (Aug. 20) of the 2024 Democratic National Convention.

What Can Kamala Harris’ Presidential Campaign Tell Us About the Current State of Pop Fandom?
After Patti LaBelle delivered the night’s first performance with a stirring rendition of “You Are My Friend” for the in memoriam segment, Common took the stage to rap a DNC-tinged version of “Fortunate,” a song from his new joint album with Pete Rock. Outside of those performances, the house band kept the covers rolling with funky versions of Beyoncé‘s “Cuff It,” Hozier‘s “Too Sweet,” and Mark Ronson‘s “Uptown Funk!” soundtracking the jumbotron camera’s journey around the packed arena.
The real magic, however, came during the roll call. During each convention, each U.S. state and territory casts their votes for the party’s presidential nominee; last night’s roll call was a symbolic, in-person version of an August online meeting, in which Vice President Kamala Harris became the Democratic party’s official nominee. DJ Cassidy served as the roll call’s master of ceremonies, using his beloved “Pass the Mic” template to rattle off each state and territory represented in the venue.
For this year’s roll call, the delegates reached across decades of music to illustrate a rich sonic collage of American music history. From country and reggaeton to rock and hip-hop, the breadth of America’s rich blend of cultures and traditions illuminated the United Center arena. To top it all off, Lil Jon made a surprise appearance on the floor of the convention to help his home state of Georgia cast its votes for Harris. As if his mere presence wasn’t enough, he also treated the fired-up crown to a bombastic rendition of his DJ Snake-assisted “Turn Down For What,” which he flipped into a musical tribute to Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz. Georgia wasn’t the only state to make the most of their moment, Pennsylvania, Minnesota and Harris’ home state of California all played multiple songs while they casted their votes.
Hot 100 Peak: “The Next Episode” peaked at No. 23 (chart dated July 29, 2000); “California Love” peaked at No. 1 (two weeks, chart dated July 13, 1996); “Not Like Us” peaked at No. 1 (two weeks, chart dated May 18, 2024); “Alright” peaked at No. 81 (chart dated October 3, 2015)

MELBOURNE, Australia — Veteran live entertainment professional Meagan (Meg) Walker will join ASM Global (APAC) later this year as group director of arena operations.
Effective Oct. 10, ASM Global will join the venues management specialist from Live Nation, with responsibilities for the company’s arena network in Australia while supporting other arena venues in the region, reads a statement, with a focus on event acquisition, operational planning for best practice patron experience and event delivery.
Walker’s resume includes senior management roles with some of Australia’s most successful venues including Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena, Margaret Court Arena, John Cain Arena and Palais Theatre.
In her new role, Walker replaces Tim Worton, who announced his retirement earlier this year.
“The depth and scale of Meg’s experience in the operation of major events and live entertainment is the perfect fit to lead our portfolio of world class arenas, frequently featured in Billboard, Pollstar and Rolling Stone,” ASM APAC chairman and CEO Harvey Lister says.
“Both Meg Walker and Tim Worton have long been recognized as legends in the industry and we are so fortunate to be the recipients of their expertise and professionalism as part of our management team.
“Meg has proven to be an accomplished event professional with strategic and collaborative leadership skills.”
One of Walker’s great talents, says Lister, is the ability to mentor the next generation of aspiring venue managers, which will be a key part of her role to support the company’s continuing growth.
The company is currently enjoying “exponential growth and development” for its portfolio of entertainment venues in Australia, the Asia Pacific and MENA regions. Worldwide, ASM Global operates over 400 venues on five continents.
“I look forward to contributing to the ongoing strong performance and growth of the ASM Global portfolio by collaborating with all stakeholders and supporting the team to achieve their personal and professional goals,” adds Walker, “while ensuring ASM arenas maintain their world’s best practice reputation.”
Worton, meanwhile, is leaving the live entertainment industry for a new career path. As previously reported, he will step away from ASM Global at year’s end, at which time he will enter 12 months’ full-time studies at Moore Theological College in Sydney. When completed, Worton will endeavor to work in a pastoral, chaplaincy or ministry role.
Sydney-based Worton has logged 33 years in the entertainment business, including 25 years with ASM Global (previously AEG Ogden). For the past 19 years, he has served as the venues and event management specialist’s group director of arenas for APAC. Worton will work with Walker during the transition.

America’s Got Talent Season 19 reached a dramatic peak on Aug. 20 when Japanese dance and acrobatic group Airfootworks delivered a performance that ignited a heated response from the judges.
The group’s gravity-defying routine set off a friendly clash between Simon Cowell and Howie Mandel, culminating in an unprecedented double Golden Buzzer moment (kind of).
As Airfootworks concluded their intricate and masterfully executed performance, which was set to “Celestial” by Ed Sheeran, Simon exclaimed, “Terry, I am just about to get myself fired,” before lunging for the Golden Buzzer.
However, Howie, who was officially assigned the buzzer for the night, quickly intervened. In a split-second move, Mandel pressed the buzzer just before Cowell could, securing Airfootworks a direct path to the finals.
The ensuing moment was filled with lighthearted chaos, as both judges vied for credit. A video replay confirmed that Mandel had narrowly outpaced Cowell to the buzzer.
“I feel like I’ve been abused!” Mandel quipped, as the two exchanged playful banter over who deserved the accolade.
Mandel then joined Airfootworks on stage to personally commend them, saying, “You guys are athletes, you guys are dancers…you guys are magicians. I don’t know how you do it, but what you just did was absolutely brilliant.”
Cowell, still reveling in the moment, admitted, “I just couldn’t help myself! It was such an amazing performance that I felt like I had to be a part of it.” He added, “This is what this show is all about—finding acts like this that are truly world-class.”
This season, Cowell has already caused a stir by awarding a second Golden Buzzer to Sky Elements during the auditions, a move that led to all judges receiving an extra buzzer push.
With Airfootworks now fast-tracked to the finals, the remaining contestants from the night face an uphill battle as they compete for one of the three remaining spots through audience voting. The stakes are significant, and the competition is fierce.
The results of this live show will be unveiled during a special episode on Wednesday, Aug. 21, at 8 p.m. ET on NBC. Viewers will learn which acts will advance alongside Airfootworks, moving one step closer to the ultimate victory.

The iconic singer-songwriter behind “American Pie” and “Vincent” recently spoke about Taylor Swift’s extraordinary success in an interview with The Standard.
McLean, whose song “American Pie (Parts I & II)” topped the Billboard Hot 100 for four weeks in 1972, is impressed by Swift’s evolution from a rising country artist to a global powerhouse.
“She is a person who is an example of what talent and really hard work can accomplish,” McLean said, describing Swift as a “monster star, the size of the galaxy.”
McLean continued, “She’s working all of the time, and she does everything that she does better than everybody else, whether it’s a video or a performance or songwriting or records or whatever… The only thing is that she stays happy.”
Reflecting on his own career, McLean shared, “I have a lot of interests, and they sustain me. I don’t go around thinking ‘Man, why don’t I have this?’ or ‘Why don’t I have that?’ – that is the quickest way to be unhappy I can think of.”
McLean, who has sold over 50 million records worldwide, has been honored with numerous awards, including a Grammy Hall of Fame induction for “American Pie.”
Back in 2021, Swift sent McLean a note and a bouquet of flowers after her 10-minute version of “All Too Well” surpassed his song “American Pie (Parts I & II)” as the longest song to reach No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.
“What a classy artist!” McLean tweeted at the time, sharing Swift’s handwritten inscription that reads, “Don, I will never forget that I’m standing on the shoulders of giants. Your music has been so important to me. Sending love one writer of LONG SONGS to another. Your fan, Taylor.”
In the most recent interview, McLean also addressed the challenges Swift has faced in the music industry, particularly regarding the ownership of her early albums.
“The record companies are the biggest thieves on the planet. That was their business, stealing. You have to be very careful,” he said, referencing Swift’s legal battles to regain control of her discography from Scooter Braun, which led to her re-recording her first six studio albums.

Machine Gun Kelly has opened up about his struggle with addiction, revealing how a confronting conversation with his 15-year-old daughter, Casie, pushed him to get sober.
On the Sunday, Aug. 18 episode of the Million Dollaz Worth of Game podcast, MGK (real name Colson Baker) recalled the moment that changed everything.
“It started with my daughter saying, ‘Dad, you know I can tell when you’re high?’ It broke my heart,” the “Emo Girl” singer shared. Casie was just 11 or 12 years old at the time. “It was the ultimate letdown.”
“It took me a while afterward, because obviously drugs have a vice grip on you,” he continued. “That was step one for me. As a father and as a man, to be the father I wish my dad would have been, I have to break this generational curse for my kid.”
“I’m completely sober from everything. I don’t drink anymore. I haven’t drank since last August,” he said. MGK quietly entered rehab after completing his European tour in 2023, battling alcohol, marijuana, and pills.
“They just gave me so many ways to operate the body, show where this anger is coming from, and methods to quell it,” he explained. He also credited his fiancée, Megan Fox, for helping him through the recovery process, saying, “Megan has for sure been extremely helpful in dealing with the kind of psychological withdrawals that come with [sobriety].”
Reflecting on his father’s struggles, MGK revealed on the Dumb Blonde podcast how deeply his family’s past has influenced him: “My father was so tormented from some of the most insane s—t I could imagine a kid could go through.”
Machine Gun kelly’s determination to break the cycle of addiction and trauma in his family is clear: “As a father and as a man, to be the father I wish my dad would have been, I have to break this generational curse for my kid.”
In July, the proud dad celebrated Casie’s 15th birthday with a heartfelt tribute on Instagram, sharing moments from their life together. “The world spins but when I look at you it stops. Happy 15th princess,” he captioned a series of sweet photos.
