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.

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.
