SUMMARY:QUEENSRYCHE
DESCRIPTION:In April 2022\, QUEENSRŸCHE finished a five-week North American tour supporting metal gods Judas Priest. That tour wasn’t merely a fiery return to the stage for QUEENSRŸCHE after a two-year pandemic: it was a rejuvenation.

With 20 million albums sold worldwide\, innumerable accolades and a career that has charted the course of multiple genres\, QUEENSRŸCHE remains bloodied but unbowed.

SUMMARY:TORME SINGS TORME: A 100th BIRTHDAY TRIBUTE TO THE LEGENDARY MEL TORME
DESCRIPTION:Steve March-Torme will host a one-of-a-kind concert event: Tormé Sings Tormé\, a centennial tribute to the legendary Mel Tormé\, led by his son\, acclaimed performer\, Steve March-Tormé. Mel Tormé—nicknamed “The Velvet Fog” for his smooth\, effortless vocal tone—was one of the most accomplished and versatile artists of the 20th century. A five-time Grammy Award winner\, Tormé’s career spanned more than six decades as a singer\, composer\, arranger\, drummer\, actor\, and author. He first gained national attention in the 1940s with hits like “Blue Moon” and “Careless Hands\,” and became a leading figure in jazz and popular music throughout the 1950s and beyond. His impact on American music is profound: He helped shape the sound of vocal jazz with his inventive phrasing and impeccable timing\, and his collaborations with arranger Marty Paich and his Dek-Tette set a new standard for small group jazz orchestration. Perhaps most famously\, he co-wrote “The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire)\,”which has become one of the most beloved holiday songs of all time. Now\, in celebration of what would have been Mel Tormé’s 100th birthday\, Steve March-Tormé brings that legacy to life onstage. Tormé Sings Tormé is more than a concert—it’s a deeply personal tribute\, blending live music\, rare archival video\, behind-the-scenes family photos\, and intimate stories that only a son can share. Backed by a 10-piece all-star band and using the original arrangements of Marty Paich\, Steve March-Tormé will perform the music that defined an era\, all while offering a behind-the-curtain look at one of America’s most enduring musical figures. \nBuy Now

SUMMARY:KAMELOT: DARK ASYLUM WORLD TOUR with SPECIAL GUESTS VISIONS OF ATLANTIS AND FROZEN CROWN
DESCRIPTION:One of the most innovative and prestigious bands in modern symphonic metal\, heavy icons KAMELOT present their most introspective\, uplifting\, vital release to date – their first full-length in five years\, 2023’s aptly titled The Awakening. Having reigned supreme with the release of internationally top-charting melodic metal pinnacles such as The Fourth Legacy (1999)\, The Black Halo (2005)\, Silverthorn (2012)\, Haven (2015\, #1 US Hard Rock Albums)\, and most recently 2018’s acclaimed The Shadow Theory (#2 US Hard Music Albums)\, The Awakening enters the KAMELOT legacy as their most massive and diverse offering yet – mixing symphonic\, gothic\, melodic\, progressive and power metal styles while yielding some of the heaviest tracks in the band’s history. On their 13th studio album\, The Awakening\, the band expressly invites listeners to discover “the power of one” within themselves as well. Exuding the impassioned songwriting\, complex musicianship\, and sophisticated production that’s always made KAMELOT a remarkable act\, the LP offers a more diverse\, uplifting\, and introspective journey compared to bleaker predecessor The Shadow Theory. As such\, The Awakening encourages its audience to\, well\, awaken not only to the grandeur of its genre(s)\, but to the greatness of life itself. \nBuy Now

SUMMARY:AIR SUPPLY: A MATTER OF TIME TOUR
DESCRIPTION:Continuing to make musical history with every sold out performance around the world\, legendary pop duo Air Supply is riding the wave of an eventful banner year in 2026\, with concerts across North America\, Australia\, South America\, Europe and Asia\, a biopic in the works\, an impending Star in the Hollywood Walk of Fame and – brace yourselves\, devoted Airheads – A Matter of Time\, their first studio album in 15 years. Graham Russell’s heartfelt and soul-piercing songwriting talents\, along with his and Russell Hitchcock’s dynamic trademark vocals\, are on emphatic display throughout the multi-faceted 11-track collection\, due to drop digitally December 3\, with the same release date for an exclusive special edition 80’s style vinyl version. Released to coincide with Air Supply’s incredible 50th anniversary as a duo\, A Matter of Time caps an historic career that compares to the Beatlesque feat of five consecutive Top Five Singles (“Lost in Love\,” “All Out of Love\,” “Every Woman in the World\,” “The One That You Love\,” “Here I Am”). During their early 80’s run\, they sold a collective total of 20 million copies of their first three albums (Lost in Love\, The One That You Love\, Now & Forever) and the 1983 Greatest Hits collection and achieved multi-million radio plays for five of their hits\, including “Sweet Dreams” and the Jim Steinman-penned “Making Love Out of Nothing At All.” \nThe release of the album comes seven months after Graham and Russell celebrated a half century since meeting as chorus members of the Australian touring company of Jesus Christ Superstar in a most extraordinary way – headlining a sold-out show at Carnegie Hall on their actual 50th anniversary date. While most of the duo’s albums have been produced by Graham\, the singer/songwriter was delighted to work this time with Grammy-nominated Canadian producer Brian Howes\, a two time Juno Award\, Dove Award and multiple BMI Award winner whose star-studded career includes recordings by the rock bands Skillet\, Puddle of Mudd\, Nickelback\, Hedley and Simple Plan and tracks by American Idol greats Daughtry and David Cook. A Matter of Time took a full two years to come together from inception to completed production for several reasons – Air Supply’s relentless ongoing 130 date U.S. and international annual tour schedule and Howes’ insistence\, even in this digital age\, that all of Graham and Russell’s vocals be recorded at his studio in Courtenay\, Canada\, an island off the coast of British Columbia\, requiring several trips. \n  \nBuy Now

SUMMARY:HAMMERFALL with SPECIAL GUESTS EVERGREY and ELVENKING
DESCRIPTION:HAMMERFALL: No matter how much everything changes in culture and the world at large\, heavy metal endures. It empowers\, engages\, and engenders strength\, ultimately it outlasts fads.

DESCRIPTION:W.A.S.P.: Few Bands in the history of Rock N’ Roll have ever incited the love\, the hate\, the raw emotional effect this Band has had on the world. From the very beginning\, in the small venues of Los Angeles California\, and later to the numerous countries worldwide that banned these Winged Assassins from performing live\, the Band’s unique style of Shock and Rock caused Religious organizations\, Local City Councils\, Parliaments\, and the Washington D.C.

His unique brand of visual\, social and political comment took the group to worldwide heights and sold millions of records alongside a legacy of sold out shows across the globe for 4 decades. Hear favorites including “I Wanna Be Somebody\,” “L.O.V.E. machine\,” “Blind In Texas\,” ” Wild Child” and so many MORE! \nKK’s Priest: You can’t keep a heavy metal legend down… Although it’s been over a dozen years since guitarist and songwriter K.K. Downing departed Judas Priest\, the iconic band he co-founded and played with for 40 years\, he was never really going to retire. It was only a matter of time before he reclaimed the spotlight. K.K. Downing has had metal coursing through his veins from the beginning\, starting in the Midlands region of England where Judas Priest was born. He compellingly chronicled his life odyssey in his 2018 autobiography\, and his recent induction into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame further secures his legacy as a pioneering musician\, songwriter and guitarist.\nAs a founding member of the classic Judas Priest line-up\, Downing helped lay the foundation for the heavy metal genre as a whole.

SUMMARY:BIG HEAD TODD & THE MONSTERS
DESCRIPTION:In this life\, very few friendships withstand the test of time. Naturally\, people go their separate ways and chase their own dreams. As rare as it may be for friendships to last a lifetime\, it might be even rarer for a band to stick together for the long haul. For close to four decades\, the members of Big Head Todd and The Monsters—Todd Park Mohr [vocals\, guitar\, keys\, sax\, harmonica]\, Brian Nevin [drums]\, Rob Squires [bass\, vocals]\, and Jeremy Lawton [keyboards\, lap pedal/steel guitar\, vocals]—have continued to both throw down in the studio and light up stages worldwide. Rallying around a core vision\, the platinum-selling Colorado quartet kick out the kind of blues-drenched rock ‘n’ roll bangers that make you want to rev the engine a little louder\, sing along like no one’s looking\, and live a little freer.  Hits include “Bittersweet\,” “Broken Hearted Savior\,” “It’s Alright\,” “Please Don’t Tell Her”and MORE! \nBuy Now

SUMMARY:ROBIN TROWER - US TOUR\, FALL 2026 with SPECIAL GUEST DAVID MAIDA 
DESCRIPTION:Even now\, as he reaches his eighth decade\, with a lifetime of accolades and a seminal body of music behind him\, Robin Trower is still chasing the biggest high he knows. It always starts the same way\, with a road-scuffed Fender Stratocaster and a revved-up Marshall amplifier\, those skillful fingers exploring the fretboard until a riff sticks and a new song ignites. Trower stands on the cusp of a whirlwind year that will see him put down heavy miles across America and the UK. At the grand vintage of 80\, however\, this latest tour represents a mere stretch of the long road travelled. In his mind’s eye\, Trower can still see his Southend-on-Sea childhood in the ’50s and feel the formative influence of guitar players from across the water. Trower’s earliest memory of that rebel movement is hearing Elvis sideman Scotty Moore. Next came a life-changing spin of a friend’s imported single\, which happened to be B.B. King’s 3 O’ Clock Blues. Albert King’s Crosscut Saw\, Jimi Hendrix’s Machine Gun\, James Brown’s Live At The Apollo: all of them informed Trower’s musical personality as he made his first moves in 1959 with R&B hopefuls The Paramounts. By 1974\, Trower was a major star in the land whose music had inspired him and was influencing future luminaries like Steve Lukather\, Metallica and countless more. Stick a pin in his catalogue over the past  decade alone and you’ll find projects from 2020’s United State Of Mind supergroup alongside Maxi Priest to the pairing with New York vocalist Sari Schorr on 2023’s Joyful Sky. \nDavid Maida is an accomplished music industry professional with over 30 years of experience booking\, branding and promoting countless major recording artists including some of the biggest names in music. \nBuy Now

SUMMARY:Y&T
DESCRIPTION:Before Mötley Crüe\, before RATT\, even before there was a Metallica\, Y&T was slogging away in sweaty rock clubs around America. When the band formed in the early 1970s\, little did they know they would set the standard for hard rock bands that trailed. Many of the biggest acts of the ’80s became popular opening for headliners Y&T—and cut their teeth on the band\, as evidenced by the Y&T mentions in tell-all books by acts such as Metallica and Mötley Crüe. Born in Oakland\, California\, Y&T is one of the San Francisco Bay Area’s own innovators of the hard rock sound. Whether performing to a festival crowd of fifty-thousand or in an intimate nightclub\, Y&T’s high-energy set and passionate performances still captivate legions of fans around the globe\, proving Y&T’s music timeless. Originally formed as Yesterday and Today\, the initial powerhouse quartet—featuring Dave Meniketti (lead guitar/lead vocals)\, Phil Kennemore (bass)\, Leonard Haze (drums)\, and Joey Alves (rhythm guitar)—tore through the ’70s and ’80s with their own brand of hard rock. After two ’70s albums on London Records\, they shortened their name to Y&T and released eight albums on A&M in the ’80s. Two more albums with Geffen Records marked an era of change with Jimmy DeGrasso (Alice Cooper\, Suicidal Tendencies\, Megadeth) on drums and Stef Burns (Alice Cooper\, Berlin\, Huey Lewis) on guitar. With a discography of 18 albums\, three greatest hits collections\, plus a boxed set\, Y&T has sold over four million albums since their 1974 inception. The band’s most recent single I’m Coming Home has climbed to roughly 1.5 million views on YouTube. Y&T received extensive airplay with hits such as Forever\, Rescue Me\, Mean Streak\, Don’t Stop Runnin’\, and Summertime Girls—which played in heavy rotation on MTV. Y&T songs have been featured in a multitude of movies and television shows\, including Real Genius\, Out of Bounds\, Baywatch\, and Hunter. After five top 100 albums\, songs that tipped into the 40s\, two Bammie Awards\, and many international television appearances\, Y&T’s hits are still played on VH1 Classic and classic rock radio stations worldwide. With the passing of Kennemore\, Haze\, and Alves\, it’s Meniketti who carries on the legacy that is Y&T. Y&T continues to tour the world\, featuring the dynamic original frontman Dave Meniketti (lead guitar/lead vocals)\, John Nymann (guitar/vocals)\, Aaron Leigh (bass/vocals)\, and Mike Vanderhule (drums/vocals)\, playing songs that span the band’s five-decade career and including all the hits and fan favorites. Prepare to have your face melted. \nBuy Now
