Read on for pricing info and more details on how to get affordable tickets online.

When Did the Foo Fighters Tour Start?

The Foo Fighters will perform a second New York show on Saturday, July 19, before traveling to Boston; Hershey, Penn.; Minneapolis and Cincinnati throughout the rest of the month. Other shows include Los Angeles, Portland and Seattle.

Where to Get Tickets

Foo Fighters tickets are in high demand. According to a post on band’s Instagram account last fall, passes for shows in Boston, Hershey, Cincinnati and Minneapolis sold out almost immediately, and now that the tour is off and running, resell tickets are currently selling out on sites like Vivid Seat and StubHub.

From what we’ve seen, ticket prices currently range from around $100 on the low end to $400, and under $100 for nosebleeds seats in select cities. Tickets to the tour are available on Ticketmaster as well as Vivid Seats, StubHub and Seat Geek.

The Everything or Nothing At All tour marks a second round of shows for the Foo Fighters since the death of band member Taylor Hawkins in 2022.

After kicking off their first round of shows last year, frontman Dave Grohl penned an emotional message thanking fans for their support. “Now that we’ve returned from our first run of shows, I felt compelled to reach out and thank you all for being there for us,” he wrote at the time. “Every night, when I see you singing, it makes me sing harder. When I see you screaming, it makes me scream louder. When I see your tears, it brings me to tears. And when I see your joy, it brings me joy. But, I see you… and it feels good to see you, churning up these emotions together. Because we’ve always done this together.”

aespa Achieves Fifth Top 10 on Album Sales Chart With ‘Armageddon – The 1st Album’

aespa achieves its fifth top 10-charting effort on Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart as the female K-pop quartet’s new Armageddon – The 1st Album debuts at No. 2 on the chart dated July 20. All five of the act’s entries on the chart have debuted in the top 10.

Also in the top 10 of the latest Top Album Sales chart, Taylor Swift’s The Tortured Poets Department nets a sixth week at No. 1 (and with a 154% sales increase), the 30th anniversary reissue and first vinyl pressing of Selena’s Amor Prohibido pushes it back onto the chart at No. 4 and Agust D (aka BTS’ SUGA) sees his D-Day album re-enter at No. 8 after its release on vinyl.

Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart ranks the top-selling albums of the week based only on traditional album sales. The chart’s history dates back to May 25, 1991, the first week Billboard began tabulating charts with electronically monitored piece count information from SoundScan, now Luminate. Pure album sales were the sole measurement utilized by the Billboard 200 albums chart through the list dated Dec. 6, 2014, after which that chart switched to a methodology that blends album sales with track equivalent album units and streaming equivalent album units. For all chart news, follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both Twitter and Instagram.

Armageddon arrives with 18,000 copies sold in the U.S. in the week ending July 11, according to Luminate. The album was released widely on CD on July 5 after previously being available as a digital download and via streaming services. CD sales power nearly all of the 18,000 sales in the week ending July 11, and the set was issued in eight collectible CD variants, all containing paper merchandise.

Meanwhile, Swift’s The Tortured Poets Department holds at No. 1 on Top Album Sales with 90,000 copies sold – up 154% for the week. CD sales comprise 67,000 (up 127%), digital album download sales comprise 19,000 (up 1,266%) and vinyl sales comprise 4,000 (down 10%).

The Tortured Poets Department’s overall weekly increase was bolstered in part by sales generated from Swift’s official webstore, which restocked seven earlier-released CD variants of the album (including a signed edition). The restocked items were available to purchase for a few hours on Sunday, June 7 and shipped shortly afterwards. In addition, Swift released three new digital album download variants of the album on Thursday, July 11, sold exclusively in her webstore for $4.99 each, and were only available to purchase that day. Each contained the original standard 16-song album tracklist, along with one bonus live acoustic track, recorded during her The Eras Tour stop in Stockholm (“Guilty as Sin?,” “How Did It End?” or “Peter”).

ATEEZ’s former No. 1 Golden Hour: Part.1 rises 7-3 with nearly 13,000 copies sold (up 3%).

Following its 30th anniversary reissue, Selena’s Amor Prohibido re-enters Top Album Sales at No. 4 with 11,000 sold – its best sales week since 1995. The set, which was initially released in 1994 and spent 20 weeks at No. 1 on Top Latin Albums in 1994-95, was reissued on July 4 across digital and physical configurations, including its first pressing on vinyl.

Amor debuts at No. 1 on the Vinyl Albums chart with 10,000 sold on wax – Selena’s best sales week ever on vinyl. It’s her second leader on the 13-year-old Vinyl Albums ranking. The album was available in four vinyl variants – a standard clear color edition, a Target-exclusive pink color (containing a poster), a Spotify-exclusive coke bottle clear edition and a picture-disc variant sold via Selena’s webstore.

Amor was also reissued on CD and as a cassette tape, with the latter exclusively sold in Selena’s webstore.

Billie Eilish’s Hit Me Hard and Soft rises 9-5 on Top Album Sales with 10,000 (down 12%), Chappell Roan’s The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess steps 8-6 with 9,000 (down 26%) and Zach Bryan’s The Great American Bar Scene shoots 21-7 after its first full tracking week, with 8,500 sold (up 66%). The set was released on July 4, the final day of the tracking week for the July 13-dated chart, and sold 5,000 copies that day (enabling it debut at No. 21). The album is only available to purchase as a digital download; its CD and vinyl are due out on Oct. 11.

Agust D’s chart-topping D-Day re-enters Top Album Sales at No. 8 with nearly 8,000 sold following the set’s vinyl release on July 5. Rounding out the top 10 are a pair of former No. 1s from Swift, as Lover jumps 19-9 with just over 5,000 sold (though down 3%) and 1989 (Taylor’s Version) vaults 20-10 with nearly 5,000 (down 5%).

Dyson’s New OnTrac Headphones Feature Up to 55 Hours of Battery Power — And They’re Customizable

All products and services featured are independently chosen by editors. However, Billboard may receive a commission on orders placed through its retail links, and the retailer may receive certain auditable data for accounting purposes.

Dyson is taking another shot at headphones, and they just might rival that of Apple, Bose and Sony. Dyson OnTrac headphones, announced on Thursday (July 18), feature up to 55-hours of battery power, high-fidelity sound and customizable ear cushions and outer caps.

The newest edition to Dyson’s growing lineup of luxury headphones is equipped with two, high-capacity lithium-ion batteries centered in the headband to even the distribution of weight. The battery takes up to three hours to fully charge and lasts up to two weeks, even with ANC enabled (you can switch the ANC setting on and off by tapping on either ear cap, or on the top of the headband).

OnTrac headphones will retail for $499.99 at Dyson.com – much cheaper than the Dyson Zone headphones. No air filter needed this time around, OnTrac offers a more traditional design with a custom Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) algorithm that utilizes eight microphones and cancels up to 40dB of unwanted noise along with 40mm drivers with “advanced audio signal processing,” and a speaker tilted at 13-degrees to “ensure that every note or word is delivered with precision,” according to Dyson.

OnTrac headphones come in four colorways: CNC Aluminum, CNC Copper, Ceramic Cinnabar and CNC Black Nickel. The removable caps retail for $49.99 and come in several colors such as chrome yellow, prussian blue, ultra blue, ceramic cinnabar, CNC copper, coarse titanium, dark iron, oyster pink and ceramic blue.

“Dyson’s audio engineering mission is to preserve the integrity of the artist’s sound wave, free from interference,” Jake Dyson, the brand’s chief engineer, said in a statement. “We also wanted to create a set of headphones that people would cherish, be excited by, and be proud of. With over 30 years of experience in aeroacoustics, we’ve mastered sound physics. By reducing noise through in-house anechoic chambers and expert engineers, we’ve applied and further expanded our audio knowledge to develop the Dyson OnTrac headphones. Our first over-ear audio only headphones deliver best-in-class ANC, exceptional sound quality, and all-day comfort through unique materials, design and customization.”

I had the chance to test the OnTrac headphones during a press preview in London and one of the most appealing features are the customizable ear cuffs, and the one-touch ANC feature. The headphones are incredibly comfortable — the cuffs are made from “ultra-soft microfiber and high-grade foam” per Dyson — and easy to use.

With over 2,000 customizable color combinations, you can mix and match the OnTrac design to your liking. The outer caps and ear cushions are made from “ultra-soft microfiber” with “high-grade foam for superior comfort and acoustic seal,” per Dyson. Another feature that caught my interest was the multi- pivot gimbal arm design. I also like the idea of the battery being in the headband, which ensures balanced weight distribution, says Dyson.

OnTrac delivers from a sound perspective and comfort level, and even though I haven’t had a chance to test out the 55 hour battery (yet), it was easily one of the headphone’s most appealing features. For comparison, the battery on Apple’s AirPods Max lasts up to 20 hours, Bose Quiet Comfort Ultra Headphones offer 24 hours of battery life and Sony’s WH-100XM5 Wireless Noise Canceling Headphones lasts up to 30 hours.

OnTrac headphones are the latest on a list of new releases from Dyson, which includes the Dyson Nural Supersonic Hair Dryer and Dyson Vis Nav Robot Vacuum.

Lionel Richie Is ‘Amazed’ by ‘The Greatest Night in Pop’ Emmy Nominations

The Greatest Night in Pop, deep dive into the 1985 recording session that produced “We Are the World,” is nominated for outstanding documentary or nonfiction special — and Lionel Richie is celebrating the accomplishment.

“I am still amazed by what we accomplished in 1985 and I’m even more amazed after receiving an Emmy nomination for ‘The Greatest Night In Pop,’” the icon wrote. “It has been an absolute joy to be able to bring this moment in history to life alongside @netflix. A big thank you and congratulations to all of the artists and participants for making ‘We Are The World’ happen, and thank you to the @televisionacad for recognizing our documentary.”

See the post here.

The documentary follows the group of 45 all-star musicians — Richie included — who gathered together Jan. 25, 1985, as they “checked their egos at the door and recorded a song to benefit African famine relief that would alter global pop culture history,” the official synopsis for the film reads. The Greatest Night in Pop included never-before-seen footage of the song’s planning and writing process, as well as Henson Studios where the recording of the track took place.

The film is also up for directing for a documentary/nonfiction program and sound editing for a nonfiction or reality program.
