Tedeschi Trucks Band is a 12-piece blues-rock ensemble led by guitarists Susan Tedeschi and Derek Trucks. They are road warriors, often playing more than 200 dates a year. 2011’s Revelator, their Grammy-winning Sony Masterworks debut, showcased a sound deeply grounded in roots music that cuts across and entwines blues, rock, jazz, soul, gospel, funk, country, various African musics, and Indian raga. 2012’s Live: Everybody’s Talkin’ revealed a penchant for inventive covers, and a preference for improvisation. 2013’s Made Up Mind included collaborations with songwriters including Eric Krasno and Sonya Kitchell. 2017’s Let Me Get By, was co-written by the entire band. 2018’s Live from the Fox Oakland also won a Grammy. 2019’s Signs was composed of all-original material. It was the last to include keyboardist Kofi Burbridge, who died of a heart attack on its release date. In 2021, TTB released Layla Revisited [Live at LOCKN’] with special guest Trey Anastasio. During the summer of 2022, they released their most ambitious project, the four-LP set I Am the Moon. Each release — I Am the Moon I: Crescent; II: Ascension; III: The Fall; IV: Farewell — was accompanied by a corresponding film. – AllMusic.com

For nearly four decades, Alison Krauss & Union Station have upheld their legacy as one of the most influential and widely celebrated acts in bluegrass and roots music.  Known for an immaculately crafted but endlessly surprising sound that transcends the boundaries of roots, country, rock & roll, and pop, Alison Krauss & Union Station are putting the finishing touches on a new album to be released in 2025 – their first album since the 2011 masterpiece Paper Airplane—a critically lauded, multiple Grammy Award winning LP that debuted at #1 on the Billboard Country, Bluegrass, and Folk Album charts. Over the years, Alison Krauss & Union Station have brought their phenomenal live show to sold-out performances at famed venues like Red Rocks Amphitheatre, The Greek Theatre, Radio City Music Hall, and London’s Royal Festival Hall, in addition to supporting Paul Simon in Hyde Park for his 2012 Graceland reunion. They now gear up for their first tour together since 2015. 

The players – Alison Krauss (fiddle, lead vocal), Jerry Douglas (Dobro, lap steel, vocals), Ron Block (banjo, guitar, vocals), Barry Bales (bass, vocals), and welcoming highly acclaimed and celebrated tenor vocalist Russell Moore (guitar, mandolin, lead vocal) as the newest member – are five distinct personalities, each of whom enjoys a flourishing solo career. But when they come together, they transform into a peerless group of musicians who share a singular focus. 

Hailed as “The Nicest Man in Stand-Up,” by The Atlantic Magazine and “One of the Funniest People,” by CBS Morning, Grammy nominated comedian, podcaster, director and producer Nate Bargatze is selling out shows and breaking venue attendance records with more than 1.2 million tickets sold on his The Be Funny Tour. He is currently the #1 earning comedian in the world according to Pollstar’s recent report, and #12 in overall live tour tickets sales, putting him in the company of Coldplay, Madonna and U2.

Bargatze recently hosted Saturday Night Live for the second time in one year, to rave reviews with Vulture.com asking the question, “Has Nate Bargatze Cracked The SNL code?” Bargatze hosted SNL for the first time in 2023, securing high ratings for the program with Vanity Fair calling him, “A Great Saturday Night Live Host,” and Entertainment Weekly exclaiming, “A frighteningly funny Halloween episode.”

This Fall, Nate will co-produce a holiday variety special with Lorne Michaels for CBS which will air 12/19 . He also announced his new book from Grand Central Publishing, Big Dumb Eyes: Stories From A Simpler Mind, set to be published May 2025.

In 2023, Bargatze broke the attendance record at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville. The next month, he also broke the record for tickets sold at The Delta Center in Salt Lake City – the highest amount ever sold by a comedian at the venue. In 2024 he broke 20 total arena records.

Nate’s first solo one-hour Netflix special, The Tennessee Kid, premiered globally with rave reviews in 2019. In 2021, he released his critically acclaimed second Netflix special, The Greatest Average American, which received a Grammy nomination for Best Comedy Album. In 2023, Nate released his latest and third one-hour special, Nate Bargatze: Hello World, on Amazon Prime which now holds the record as Amazon’s most-streamed original comedy special in its first 28 days of viewership.

Bargatze was recently signed to Universal Music Group Nashville as their flagship comedian under their new Capitol Comedy label. He also recently performed two sold out shows at The Hollywood Bowl with Jerry Seinfeld, Jim Gaffigan and Sebastian Maniscalco.

Bargatze’s comedy is both clean and relatable, evident in his 13 appearances on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the most appearances by any comedian. He also appeared on Conan four times and has appeared on Seth Meyers and James Corden’s respective late night shows.

In 2023, Bargatze unveiled Nateland Entertainment, a family friendly content company where he produces standup comedy specials, showcases, sketches, and scripted episodic content for film, television, podcasts, music and more.

Raised in Old Hickory, TN., Nate currently resides in Nashville, TN with his wife and daughter.

Following the success of their critically acclaimed album The Great Impersonator, and their electrifying festival performances, Halsey is set to deliver an unforgettable live experience, bringing a career-spanning setlist and stunning visuals to fans nationwide. The tour will feature an exciting lineup of special guests, including The Warning for the Walmart AMP performance.

Halsey has amassed more than 50 billion global streams, with more than 75 million RIAA-certified adjusted singles and all four albums RIAA-certified. They are one of the few artists with four songs reaching 1 billion streams on Spotify. In 2024, Halsey’s latest album, The Great Impersonator, debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Rock & Alternative Albums and Top Alternative Albums charts and reached No. 2 on the Billboard 200—the same peak achieved by her 2020 album, Manic. This milestone continues Halsey’s success on the charts, following her previous No. 1s on Top Alternative Albums with If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power (2021), Hopeless Fountain Kingdom (2017) and Badlands (2015).

Following its release, Hopeless Fountain Kingdom debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 albums chart in the United States and the Canadian Albums Chart. The album was also certified 2× Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in the US.

In 2021 Halsey introduced the world to about-face, a multi-dimensional makeup line made for everyone. Halsey built about-face on the truth that no one is just one thing and all humans are imperfectly beautiful beings. Following the success of about-face, Halsey followed up with af94 to inspire inner creativity & playfulness in cosmetic users. Both have become the fastest trending new cosmetic brands at their respective retailers.

Her first book, I Would Leave Me If I Could: A Collection of Poetry, debuted on The New York Times Best Sellers list in November 2020. Named as one of TIME‘s 100 Most Influential People, they were also the recipient of the Songwriters Hall of Fame’s Hal David Starlight Award. Halsey continues to speak up for important causes such as disenfranchised youth, women’s rights, mental health, and the LGBTQ community.

With more than 16 million units in career sales and a whopping seven GRAMMY Awards, TobyMac’s career continues on the fast track. His 2015 RIAA Certified Gold studio album, THIS IS NOT A TEST, garnered a GRAMMY Award and Billboard Music Award nomination on top of debuting at No. 4 on the Billboard Top 200. Each of his six studio solo projects have achieved Gold certification, a first for any artist in the history of his label, Capitol Christian Music Group. Among those is 2012’s EYE ON IT, which debuted atop the Billboard 200, only the third Christian album ever to do so.

THE ELEMENTS, his latest GRAMMY-nominated, full collection of music, boasted “Everything,” “Scars,” “Edge of My Seat,” “See The Light” and more alongside the chart-topper, RIAA Gold Certified “I just need U.” His most recent singles, “21 Years,” “Help Is On the Way (Maybe Midnight),” “Promised Land,” “The Goodness (feat. Blessing Offor),” “Everything About You (feat. Marlee)” and “Show Up Choose Love (feat. Jon Reddick),” are available wherever you stream music, along with his GRAMMY nominated seventh studio project, LIFE AFTER DEATH.

With more than 110 million albums sold worldwide and two prestigious Diamond Awards in the U.S., 2019 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame® inductees Def Leppard – Joe Elliott (vocals), Phil Collen (guitar), Rick Savage (bass), Vivian Campbell (guitar) and Rick Allen (drums) — continue to be one of the most important forces in rock music. Over the course of their career the band has produced a series of classic ground-breaking albums that set the bar for generations of music fans and artists alike. The group’s spectacular live shows and arsenal of hits have become synonymous with their name, leading Def Leppard to be heralded as the world’s greatest live rock band. Def Leppard’s influential career includes numerous hit singles and ground-breaking multi-platinum albums—including two of the best-selling albums of all time, Pyromania and Hysteria, capturing the group’s legendary tracks, bringing together classic Leppard hits such as “Rock of Ages,” “Pour Some Sugar on Me” and “Foolin.” For the first time, in January 2018 Def Leppard debuted their full recording catalog worldwide via streaming and download platforms. As they did with the original release of their records, Def Leppard dominated the worldwide charts again, which found their albums charting in the iTunes Top 10 in more than 30 countries, including Hysteria at #3 in the US, and #5 in the UK. Def Leppard also had the #1, #2 and #3 records on the US catalog albums chart. The band have gone on to amass a staggering 6 billion streams since 2018, reaching a younger 18-44 demographic that now represents 58% of their fanbase. Additionally, the band have garnered an impressive 15 million followers across their social media platforms. In May 2022, Def Leppard released their twelfth studio album Diamond Star Halos. The album debuted at #1 on the Apple and Amazon Music charts. The album also scored a Top 10 debut on Billboard’s Top 200 Albums chart, marking the band’s eighth Top 10 album of their career, and also making them one of just three groups with a newly charting top 10 title on the Billboard 200 albums chart in each decade since the ‘80s. Diamond Star Halos additionally garnered a #1 debut on Billboard’s Hard Rock chart. Following the close of their historic 2018 co-headline stadium and arena run in North America, Def Leppard sold a staggering number of tickets, a massive feat in today’s touring world. Def Leppard & Mötley Crüe topped that number yet again with another sold out North American stadium run in 2022. As always, the group keep pushing the boundaries with their electrifying live shows.

Simple Minds are one of the UK’s most successful bands, having achieved six No.1 albums in the UK as well hitting the top spot in countless other territories including Germany, Italy, France, Spain, Australia and New Zealand.

“One of the things I’m most proud of is that people say to me what Simple Minds are you talking about? The avant-garde, the art-rock, the pop, the ambient, the instrumental group, the political, the folk, the stadium band? We’ve been on one hell of a journey. To play all those different styles but at the same time be quintessentially Simple Minds is an amazing thing.” – Jim Kerr

Simple Minds have been musical pioneers for 40 glittering years. Catching the mood of the post-punk era, when the angry sounds of 1977 were splintering into a thousand different shapes, they emerged with a style rooted in the art-rock of David Bowie and the electronic dance of Donna Summer. They went on to become one of the great bands of their generation, deploying rousing choruses and booming atmospherics to provide a soundtrack that has endured.

They topped the American chart with Don’t You (Forget About Me) and followed suit in the UK with the Ballad Of The Streets EP (featuring Belfast Child). In selling over 60 million records, they have seen three of their 20 studio albums reach number one in the UK – Sparkle In The Rain, Once Upon A Time and Street Fighting Years – a chart-topping feat equaled by their live album Live In The City Of Light and the compilation Glittering Prize. A spellbinding touring band, they have graced the world’s biggest stadiums. They starred at Live Aid and played three momentous London shows in honor of Nelson Mandela.

The past decade has also seen a remarkable resurgence, their world-class credentials acknowledged by a Q magazine Inspiration award in 2014 and an Ivor Novello in 2016. They are now marking their 40th anniversary with a world tour, live album and career-spanning compilation. As their recent albums Big Music, Simple Minds Acoustic and Walk Between Worlds have shown, they remain a band touched by magic – willing to experiment while remaining true to their original instincts.

Pairing his laid-back perspective with a vocal drenched in casual country soul, Thomas Rhett has spent just over 10 years gathering 22 Number Ones, 16 billion streams and armfuls of awards–eight ACM Awards including 2020 “Entertainer of the Year,” two CMA Awards, five GRAMMY® Awards nominations, plus trophies from the CMT Music Awards, Billboard Awards and iHeartRadio Awards, in addition to being recognized with five CMA Triple Play awards for penning three No. One songs within a 12-month period, he’s never remained static. With both songwriting prowess and charisma, his career has been fueled by equal parts energy and emotion, to continually keep fans on their toes. It’s Thomas Rhett’s live show where he connects first-hand with fans in arenas and amphitheaters all around the world and recently announced a mini-residency in December at the BleauLive Theater inside Fontainebleau Las Vegas. He has also launched a tequila brand, Dos Primos, now offering Blanco, Reposado, and Añejo variants.

Originally a raw, visceral blues-rock outfit inspired by the likes of such juke joint rockers as Junior Kimbrough, The Black Keys have expanded their purview after mastering their garagey roar with Rubber Factory in 2004. Making the leap to the major-label Nonesuch, the duo of guitarist/vocalist Dan Auerbach and drummer Patrick Carney dove into heady psychedelic territory, sometimes assisted by producer Danger Mouse. The band’s collaborations with the adventurous hip-hop producer opened the doors to a variety of sounds, colors, and textures, a broadened palette they’d channel onto sharp songs on their platinum-selling albums Brothers and El Camino, both arriving in the early years of the 2000s. After the trippy 2014 album Turn Blue, the Black Keys took an extended hiatus through the back half of the 2010s, during which time Auerbach set up his Easy Eye Sound studio and label. The duo returned with renewed vigor on 2019’s Let’s Rock, maintaining that momentum with the blues covers album Delta Kream in 2021 and the hard-grooving, guest-heavy Ohio Players in 2024. – AllMusic.com

Haus of Untz is an electronic music collective made up of dynamic trio Ashley Worthey (DJ Girlfriend), Raquel Thompson (ROCKELLE), Susie Najarro (Susie Q). Although they only just started in January 2023, Haus of Untz has taken the scene by storm. 

Fueled by their passion for the electronic music scene and their frustration with the lack of spaces where EDM is played in Northwest Arkansas, Haus of Untz curates captivating experiences and performances from the region’s best talent. As DJs themselves, they bring a unique and intimate understanding of the electronic music genre, which they expertly translate into exciting and unforgettable live shows that allow audiences to live in the moment and let go of the worries of the day-to-day. Their mission is to bolster the exposure, opportunities, and experiences within the electronic music scene of the South.  

The welcoming, safe, care-free, and inclusive environment present at Haus of Untz events is not coincidental: As POC, LGBTQIA womxn, Worthey, Thompson, and Najarro were used to being excluded. This is the basis of Haus of Untz’s unwavering commitment to creating a space where DJs can play to their truest artistic selves and audiences can feel nothing but peace, love, unity, and respect. 

From intimate house shows to massive events and everything in between, Haus of Untz is dedicated to pushing the boundaries of electronic music and creating unforgettable experiences for audiences in the South and beyond.

With his easygoing, guy-next-door charm, Luke Bryan is one of the defining figures of bro-country, the strand of party-hearty music that dominated mainstream country in the 2010s. Bryan embodies the sweeter, friendlier side of bro-country. He sings about trucks, country girls, beer, and the outdoors — the prevalent themes of his subgenre — and he does it to a big, bright beat that borrows from pop and rock but conveys 21st century country: music made for suburbs and sports bars, not backwoods honk tonks. All these elements were in place on Bryan’s earliest hits “All My Friends Say,” “Rain Is a Good Thing,” and “Country Girl (Shake It for Me),” but as he began to have a steady string of Billboard Country Airplay hits in the early 2010s, he emphasized his sentimental side, evident on such slow-burners as “Drink a Beer” and “Play It Again,” while underscoring his inviting nature with such songs as “Most People Are Good.”

Bryan’s good nature helped ease him into the pop mainstream, and he appeared as an advisor on The Voice during a mid-2010s run, followed by a role as a judge on American Idol. His presence on television helped keep him at the top of the country charts into the 2020s, with his Born Here Live Here Die Here generating no less than five number one Billboard Country Airplay hits. Led by its title track, he issued the compilation album Prayin’ in a Deer Stand, at the end of 2022. Bryan continued to notch hits with songs like “But I Got a Beer in My Hand” and “Country On,” which were later rolled into his eighth studio LP, Mind of a Country Boy. – AllMusic.com

Natalia Franco is the sculptor and creator of Goop World, an ever-expanding realm of characters, design and explorative sculpture.

She uses materials like ceramic, paints, resin, steel, foam and faux plants, finding no end to the expansive nature of sculpture. Her desire to create is fueled by the human experience – a release of love, pain and soul that opens the heart and mind and frees up space for introspection and observation. “Protection Through Connection” Franco’s first solo show at MIXD will take place in July.

With 28 number one singles, 18 billion streams, and more than 20 million albums sold, Grammy-nominated, Multi-Platinum entertainer Jason Aldean is the current reigning ACM Artist of the Decade. Since his 2005 chart debut, the 3X ACM Entertainer of the Year winner has the most Top 10 songs on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart–more than any other artist–with “songs of small-town living, love and loss have resonated with a loyal fanbase” (Billboard) that have “vaulted him to the pinnacle of Country music success” (Atlanta Journal Constitution). He has released 11 studio albums, most recently HIGHWAY DESPERADO, which features Aldean’s breakthrough Hot 100 chart-topping single “Try That In A Small Town,” his 28th career #1 single at Country Radio. HIGHWAY DESPERADO follows the success of Aldean’s sold out, 40 city headlining tour of the same name, which wrapped on October 28 in Tampa, FL.

During the 2010s, few country-pop groups were as big on either the country or pop side of things as Little Big Town. The band’s reliance on sumptuous four-part harmonies and interwoven lead vocals — Karen Fairchild, Kimberly Schlapman, Phillip Sweet, and Jimi Westbrook alternated in the spotlight throughout their career — helped evoke memories of Fleetwood Mac, a comparison the group would lean into once they began racking up hits on the country charts starting with 2010’s “Little White Church.” That was a downhome raver, but it was the breezy 2012 number one “Pontoon” that established their soft pop crossover potential, reaching 22 on the Top 40. Little Big Town achieved an across-the-board smash with 2014’s “Girl Crush,” a dreamy, slow dance number that climbed to 18 on the pop Top 40 and earned the band’s second Grammy for Best Country Duo/Group Performance. “Girl Crush” gave Little Big Town license to try whatever they wanted, an opportunity they seized in 2016 by working with hip-hop producer Pharrell Williams, but they often chose to stick to their strengths: supple melodies and soothing harmonies that sounded at home in such cheerful settings as 2022’s Mr. Sun. Their holiday album The Christmas Record followed in 2024.

With a legendary career spanning five decades, KANSAS has firmly established itself as one of America’s iconic classic rock bands. This “garage band” from Topeka released their debut album in 1974 after being discovered by Wally Gold, who worked for Don Kirshner, and have gone on to sell more than 30 million albums worldwide.

Composing a catalogue that includes sixteen studio albums and five live albums, KANSAS has produced eight gold albums, three sextuple-Platinum albums (Leftoverture, Point of Know Return, Best of KANSAS), one platinum live album (Two for the Show), one quadruple-Platinum single ‘Carry On Wayward Son,’ and another triple-Platinum single ‘Dust in the Wind.’ KANSAS appeared on the Billboard charts for over 200 weeks throughout the ‘70’s and ‘80’s and played to sold-out arenas and stadiums throughout North America, Europe and Japan. ‘Carry On Wayward Son’ continues to be one of the top five most played songs on classic rock radio, and ‘Dust In the Wind’ has been played on the radio more than three million times!

The summer of 2020 marked the release of “The Absence of Presence,” KANSAS’s sixteenth studio album, which debuted at #10 on Billboard’s Top Current Albums chart.  The wide-ranging progressive rock album, released by InsideOut Music, follows-up 2016’s “The Prelude Implicit,” which debuted at #14 on Billboard’s Top 200 Albums chart.

Throughout 2016-2022, the band celebrated the anniversaries of multi-Platinum breakout albums “Leftoverture” and “Point of Know Return” with anniversary tours for both albums. Both tours were commemorated with live album releases “Leftoverture Live & Beyond” (2017) & “Point of Know Return Live & Beyond” (2021).

The band is currently comprised of original drummer Phil Ehart, vocalist/keyboardist Ronnie Platt, keyboardist/vocalist Tom Brislin, guitarist Zak Rizvi, violinist/guitarist Joe Deninzon, bassist/vocalist Dan McGowan, and original guitarist Richard Williams. Drummer Eric Holmquist is currently performing on drums while Phil Ehart continues to recover from a major heart attack. With no signs of slowing down, KANSAS continues to perform in front of large and enthusiastic audiences.

Along with constant touring, KANSAS continues to remain a fixture of Classic Rock radio and popular culture. The band continues to reach a whole new audience through their unmistakable presence in various commercials, live sports broadcasts, popular video games Rock Band, Guitar Hero, and Grand Theft Auto; the band’s documentary film “KANSAS: Miracles Out of Nowhere,” and a guest appearance on The CW’s television show ‘Walker.’ The band’s songs have also been included in various television shows such as ‘Supernatural,’ ‘Reacher,’ ‘All Elite Wrestling,’ ‘South Park,’ ‘The Office,’ and ‘The Simpsons;’ as well as blockbuster films including ‘Old School,’ ‘The Suicide Squad,’ ‘Anchorman,’ ‘Pitch Perfect,’ and ‘Happy Gilmore.’

After more than four decades, 38 SPECIAL continues to bring their signature blast of Southern Rock to over 100 cities a year. At each and every show, thousands of audience members are amazed by the explosive power of the band’s performance.

Their many Gold and Platinum album awards stand in testament to the endurance of a legendary powerhouse.

With sales in excess of 20 million, most associate the band with their arena-rock pop smashes, “Hold On Loosely,” “Rockin’ Into the Night,” “Caught Up in You,” “Fantasy Girl,” “If I’d Been the One,” “Back Where You Belong,” “Chain Lightnin’,” “Second Chance,” and more – Timeless hits that remain a staple at radio, immediately recognizable from the first opening chord, and paving the way to their present-day touring regimen.

Guitarist/vocalist DON BARNES says it’s all about maintaining that intensity in their live shows. “We never wanted to be one of those bands that had maybe gotten a little soft or complacent over the years. We’re a team, and it’s always been kind of an unspoken rule that we don’t slack up, we stack up. We go out there every night to win.”

Completing the team is bassist BARRY DUNAWAY, drummer GARY MOFFATT and keyboardist/vocalist BOBBY CAPPS. The most recent addition to the band is legendary virtuoso guitarist and vocalist JERRY RIGGS. 

For 38 Special onstage, it is a celebration of camaraderie and brotherhood, a precision unit bringing the dedication and honesty to a long history of classic songs, as well as surprisingly fresh new material.

Since 1976, the band has released more than 15 albums. And from the start, they’ve toured relentlessly, bringing their signature brand of ‘muscle and melody’ to fans worldwide.

It is that steely determination that lives on in the hearts of these ‘Wild-Eyed Southern Boys.’

Barnes adds, “This music keeps our wheels on the road. We’re a band that’s tried to stay honest with what has driven us over the years. We started out with nothing but bold determination to make our own history and to endure. Looking back now, it has been our greatest pride to have persevered and attained that level of success and longevity. For us, it’s the ultimate validation.” 

“The magic’s still there,” adds Barnes. “It’s an emotional high for us to keep ‘bringing it’ after all these years. When those lights go down and we all walk up those steps to the stage and hear that crowd roar, it’s a real rush to the head. It feels like we’re getting ready to strap ourselves in and it just takes off from there.” 

Volbeat is a multi-platinum Danish rock band whose sound weds hard rock, classic metal, glam, punk, and rockabilly. Inspired by legendary performing and recording artists including Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash, they also freely admit to admiring such bands as AC/DC, Social Distortion, and Metallica. They put it all together in an incessantly entertaining loud-and-proud mix of great songwriting, incendiary performances, and accomplished musicianship. All of their studio albums have been certified gold in Denmark, with their second full-length outing, Rock the Rebel/Metal the Devil (2007) attaining platinum certification. Their debut for Universal’s Vertigo imprint, Beyond Hell/Above Heaven (2013), landed in the bottom half of the Top 200 with widespread popular and critical acclaim, while their second offering that year, Outlaw Gentlemen & Shady Ladies, peaked at nine; 2016’s Seal the Deal & Let’s Boogie went all the way to number four. They hit number two in Denmark with their seventh studio album, 2019’s more mainstream Rewind, Replay, Rebound, before returning with 2021’s Servant of the Mind, which signaled a return to their trademark heaviness. – AllMusic.com

Weird Al brings his legendary full-production multimedia comedy rock show back to the concert stage with the BIGGER & WEIRDER 2025 Tour, playing his iconic hits as well as some never-performed-live-before fan favorites.  Al’s long-time band is joined by four additional players to create a super-sized concert experience.

“Weird Al” Yankovic is the biggest-selling comedy recording artist in history.  A 5-time Grammy Award winner, he is best known for his parodies of the biggest musical artists over the last 4 decades, including Madonna, Michael Jackson, Taylor Swift, Queen, U2 and Lady Gaga, all with their personal blessings.  His many hits include “Amish Paradise,” “Eat It,” “Like a Surgeon,” “Smells Like Nirvana,” “Word Crimes,” and the platinum-selling “White & Nerdy.” His last album Mandatory Fun is the only comedy album in history to debut at #1 on the Billboard Top 200.  Yankovic’s live shows have entertained audiences across the globe for generations, including appearances at such iconic venues as Radio City Music Hall, The Hollywood Bowl, Red Rocks, Wolf Trap, The Kennedy Center and Carnegie Hall.  In 2022, Yankovic produced and co-wrote the Emmy-winning biopic WEIRD: The Al Yankovic Story, starring Daniel Radcliffe in the title role.

The duo has also headlined Mexico’s most traditional palenques, such as León and Aguascalientes, with three consecutive nights, an achievement previously reached by only a few artists, including Vicente and Alejandro Fernández. More than 400,000 people have attended Juntos in just eight months, cementing its status as a must-see show. 

With all these achievements, Jorge Medina and Josi Cuén could not think of anything else but to go beyond borders and bring Juntos to the United States with 21 stops. The tour kicks off June 13th in San Jose and wraps up this first leg on September 13th in Las Vegas. 

This is just the beginning of Juntos, a tour Jorge Medina and Josi Cuén reinvent each night, and this first international leg will be no exception. “Así o más claro… Y que critiquen”; because Jorge and Josi have one main goal: to keep bringing their music to every corner, showcase their talent, and continue conquering hearts.

Train is a multi-GRAMMY Award-winning, diamond-selling band from San Francisco that has had 14 songs on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart and 13 albums on the Billboard 200 chart. Train’s climb to the top began in 1994, as the original 5-member band tenaciously built a loyal hometown following, leading up to their debut self-titled album released by Columbia in 1998. The tumbling wordplay of “Meet Virginia” gave them their first unlikely radio hit, and 2001’s Drops of Jupiter broke them to multi-platinum status thanks to the double-GRAMMY-winning title song that spent 10 months in the Top 40, has been certified RIAA 7x platinum, and earned the 2001 GRAMMY Award for Best Rock Song. The group won another GRAMMY in 2011 for their global hit “Hey, Soul Sister” from their multi-platinum album Save Me, San Francisco (2009), which was the No.1 best-selling smash and most downloaded single of 2010, achieved RIAA Diamond status in 2021 and now 11x platinum, and in 2022 surpassed one billion streams on Spotify. Train has sold more than 10 million albums and 30 million tracks worldwide, with multiple platinum/gold citations, including three GRAMMY Awards, two Billboard Music Awards, and dozens of other honors. They’ve had 24 Top 10 songs across the Billboard charts and six Top 10 albums on the Billboard 200 chart including Drops of Jupiter (2001), My Private Nation (2003), California 37 (2012), Bulletproof Picasso (2014), For Me, It’s You (2016), and a girl a bottle a boat (2017). This summer, Train is taking over amphitheaters across the country on a co-headline tour with REO Speedwagon, and most recently, released a new album, Live at Royal Albert Hall, recorded live from their sold-out, debut performance at the iconic and historic Royal Albert Hall in London.

Two distinct Texas voices. Two remarkable journeys. One unforgettable tour. Grammy Award-winning R&B artist Leon Bridges and Grammy-nominated Texas maverick Charley Crockett come together for The Crooner & The Cowboy—a series of once-in-a-lifetime shows that celebrate their shared roots, longtime friendship, and the rich musical heritage of Texas.

Bridges, known for his timeless storytelling and genre-bending sound, brings the spirit of his acclaimed fourth studio album Leon to the stage, alongside a career filled with platinum hits and sold out headline shows around the globe. From busking on the streets  to selling out Dickies Arena in his native Forth Worth, his rise has been nothing short of extraordinary. With his signature smooth vocals and boundless creativity, Leon Bridges delivers a performance that’s as personal as it is powerful.

Charley Crockett, the modern-day outlaw of country music, joins as a very special guest, embodying the independent spirit of country music’s great songwriters. A self-made troubadour, Crockett carved his own path, releasing 14 independent albums and selling out legendary venues like Red Rocks and the Ryman. His latest record, Lonesome Drifter, produced by Shooter Jennings, channels the raw, unfiltered essence of a road-worn storyteller. Together, Bridges and Crockett bring their unique yet complementary styles to the stage, joined by a rotating cast of opening artists.

This isn’t just a concert—it’s a collision of soul and grit, an evening of music that echoes across time, place, and genre.
