Alès, France – The art of lighting design lies not only in how it heightens an audience’s visual experience but also (sometimes), in what it shields an audience from seeing. Guillaume Fournier and Victor Lagiewski from Chromatik mastered both ends of this artistic spectrum recently at the Fous Chantants d’Alès concert, featuring Pascal Obispo. A […]

LONG POND, PA – The fifth annual Elements Music and Arts Festival took place at a new site less than a two-hour drive from Mid-Town Manhattan, adjacent to the NASCAR Pocono Raceway, but as far as fans at this three-day event were concerned, it could have taken place a million miles from anywhere. Nestled within […]

“We are deeply grateful and savoring every nanosecond of this,” Flea proclaimed to fans at the start of one Friday night show on the Red Hot Chili Peppers Global Stadium tour.

His seminal 2013 Madison Square Garden show sold out in 10 minutes. The same year, fans in New England, gobbled up 70,000 tickets for two Fenway Park concerts, making it clear to all that Jason Aldean’s star power shined far beyond the “traditional” country fan base.

MARSEILLE – There are certain words that come up often in reviews of Soprano’s live shows. “Energetic” is certainly one, an obvious choice for anyone who has seen this dynamic performer on stage. “Flawless” is another, a tribute to his impeccably tight flow as a rapper.

LAS VEGAS – A “spirit of joy,” as one critic described it, runs through the music of Marca MP.

NEW YORK – Lighting a coheadline tour can, at times, be a tricky proposition, especially when one of the acts wants to build its show around a car wash theme, complete with a sawed-off Corvette on stage, while the other opts for a more romantic setting.

LOS ANGELES – “We are deeply grateful and savoring every nanosecond of this,” Flea proclaimed to fans at the start of one Friday night show on the Red Hot Chili Peppers Global Stadium Tour.

BIRMINGHAM, AL – Ideally, change should put new ideas in motion. When it does, good results invariably happen.

Willemstad, Curaçao – The music, dancing, and partying never stop during Hak’e, a Curaçao Summer Festival that’s a highlight of one of the Caribbean’s largest carnivals.
