Those 2024 venue calendars are getting crowded, and we're here to summarize the latest news faster than you can say Ron Laffitte.
Ron's client USHER announced the Past Present Future tour, which, as tipped here first, includes 9/21-22 shows at the soon-to-open Intuit Dome in Los Angeles. The Live Nation-promoted trek opens 8/20 in Washington, D.C. and wraps 10/28-29 in Chicago. USHER is, of course, headlining the 2/11 Super Bowl Halftime Show, and his new album, COMING HOME, arrives 2/9 from mega/gamma.
Madonna has tacked on one last date for her The Celebration Tour (Live Nation) 4/9 at Miami's Kaseya Center, while Justin Timberlake announced the second leg of his Forget Tomorrow World Tour, beginning 10/7 at Brooklyn's Barclays Center. Per Live Nation, the first leg of the outing already boasts 21 sell-outs and more than 350k tickets sold so far.
For those about to rave, we salute and expect to see you 6/1-2 at Insomniac's inaugural Beyond Wonderland Chicago festival, which will be headlined by Tiësto, Diplo, Kaskade and Alesso. And for those who prefer to raaaaawk, Lamb of God and Mastodon will co-headline Live Nation's Ashes of Leviathan run, with each playing their respective 2004 albums Ashes of the Wake and Leviathan in full starting 6/19 in Grand Prairie, Texas.
Need something a bit less intense? Surf on over to The Beach Boys' Endless Summer Gold tour, on which 82-year-old Mike Love and company will visit such locales as Jazz Fest in New Orleans, Stagecoach in Indio, California and the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles. Striped button-down shirts and "Kokomo" lyric sheets are not included.
Last but certainly not least, Incubus has re-recorded their double-platinum 2001 Epic album Morning View and will play 10 U.S. arena shows in support of it with openers Coheed & Cambria, beginning 8/23 in Detroit. We will be raging like we haven't since the George W. Bush administration.
