The announcement comes on the heels of Rocky’s fourth studio album, DON’T BE DUMB, released last Friday. As Rocky’s first album in nearly 8 years, DON’T BE DUMB “not only rewards patience but adds new wrinkles to the rapper’s approach — an evolved relationship with melody and a wiser lyrical slant,” says Billboard.
An unprecedented hype led up to DON’T BE DUMB’s release, surpassing 1 million pre-saves on Spotify, making it hip-hop’s most pre-saved album on the platform. This hype was built through a massive past year for Rocky, in which he starred in two A24-produced feature films — Highest 2 Lowest directed by Spike Lee, and the Golden-Globe-winning If I Had Legs I’d Kick You directed by Mary Bronstein. Rocky also served as co-chair of the 2025 Met Gala, was announced as the creative director for Ray-Ban, and was appointed as Chanel’s new house ambassador.

Calvin Harris Returns To North America For First Headline Tour
Today, global superstar DJ and producer Calvin Harris announces his first headline tour across North America bringing his era-defining catalogue and landmark live show to arenas across the US and Canada in spring 2027.
Promoted by Live Nation, the 18-date tour kicks off Thursday, April 1 at TD Garden in Boston, with stops across Baltimore, Philadelphia, Brooklyn, Toronto, Montreal, Houston, Chicago, Seattle, Vancouver, San Diego and more, before concluding Thursday, May 27 at Kia Forum in Los Angeles.
Tickets will be available starting with Reserved by Spotify on Monday, October 19th at 10AM local time, followed by an artist presale beginning Tuesday, October 20th at 12PM local time. Fans can register for artist presale access now at CalvinHarris.com.
The general on sale begins Thursday, October 22nd at 12PM local time at CalvinHarris.com.
Calvin Harris’ Reserved by Spotify tickets may be available to eligible US Spotify Premium subscribers through Ticketmaster. These fans will be notified by Spotify via email and app notification, and will have the opportunity to purchase up to two tickets during the Reserved presale.
The North American run follows an extraordinary year of live milestones for Harris. This summer, he performed to more than 100,000 fans across his two sold-out hometown shows at Glasgow’s Hampden Park, followed by three sold-out headline shows across Ireland, bringing his UK and Ireland total to more than 210,000 tickets. His recently announced Australian headline tour subsequently sold more than 330,000 tickets across 11 dates, making it the biggest headline tour by an electronic artist in the market.
Earlier this year, Harris also earned a GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ title following his February performance in São Paulo, Brazil, which drew an estimated 1.6 million people, setting the record for the largest attendance at a DJ set by a single artist.
The North American announcement follows Harris’ acclaimed performance at Head Trip Festival in Indio, California, with upcoming performances in Las Vegas and festival appearances in Mexico and Chile. He will also headline a sold-out show at Coliseo MedPlus in Bogotá, Colombia on Friday, November 13.
One of the defining artists in global dance music, Harris has spent more than a decade creating records that have become part of the fabric of contemporary pop and electronic music. With more than 56 billion global streams, two UK No. 1 albums, 11 UK No. 1 singles and 31 UK Top 10 singles, his catalogue has consistently crossed the boundaries between clubs, radio, festivals and stadiums.
His recent run of releases has continued that legacy, with “Blessings” featuring Clementine Douglas becoming one of the year’s biggest dance records, peaking at No. 3 on the UK Singles Chart and marking his 31st UK Top 10 single. He followed with “Ocean” featuring Jessie Reyez and “Release the Pressure” with Kasabian as well as “Satisfy” with Jazzy, continuing his instinct for unexpected collaborations and genre-spanning dance music.
Harris returns to stages across North America with a show that reflects his extraordinary evolution as a live artist, bringing together a catalogue of global anthems, cutting-edge production and the communal energy that has made him one of the world’s most successful electronic artists.

Matchbox Twenty Celebrate 30th Anniversary With Major North American Tour
Today, Matchbox Twenty announced their 30th Anniversary Tour, an extensive North American run celebrating three decades of music and milestones throughout the band’s three-decades-long career. Promoted by Live Nation, the 52-date tour kicks off on May 15 at Coca-Cola Amphitheater in Birmingham, AL and will bring Matchbox Twenty to amphitheaters and arenas across the U.S. and Canada, including Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, CO, the Hollywood Bowlin Los Angeles, Moody Center in Austin, TX, RBC Amphitheatre in Toronto, ON, and more.
The All-American Rejects, The Wallflowers, David Gray, O.A.R., Matt Nathanson, and The Lucky will join the band as special guests on select dates. The tour is the centerpiece of a yearlong anniversary celebration that began last night with an intimate, one-night-only performance at the Fonda Theatre in Los Angeles, where the band played songs from their landmark debut Yourself or Someone Like You, alongside other fan favorites. The celebration continues tomorrow when Matchbox Twenty perform on Jimmy Kimmel Live!.
Just ahead of the tour, Matchbox Twenty will perform at Stagecoach Festival in Indio, CA on Sunday, April 25.
Matchbox Twenty’s Artist Presale starts Tuesday, October 20 at 5pm local time. All fans can sign up for access presale tickets on their tour dates page HERE.

Additional presales will run throughout the week ahead of the general on sale beginning Friday, October 23 at 10am local time at www.matchboxtwenty.com.
Released in 1996, Yourself or Someone Like You introduced Matchbox Twenty (Rob Thomas, Brian Yale, Paul Doucette and Kyle Cook) to the world and launched a career that has now spanned three decades. Featuring smash hit singles “3AM,” “Push,” “Real World,” “Back 2 Good,” “Long Day” and more, the diamond-certified, 12x-platinum album became one of the defining rock records of the era and established the band as a fixture of pop culture.
In the 30 years since, Matchbox Twenty have built a catalog of hits including “Bent,” “If You’re Gone,” “Unwell,” “How Far We’ve Come,” “She’s So Mean” and more. The band have sold more than 40 million records worldwide, topped charts, garnered multiple GRAMMY® Award nominations, and played to millions of fans across arenas, amphitheaters and stadiums on multiple continents.
