Live Nation is once again offering $20 tickets (including service fees) to over 2000 shows happening this summer with what they call National Concert Week. There are over 600 artists participating, including: Beck & Cage the Elephant, Elvis Costello & The Imposters and Blondie, Vampire Weekend, Mary J Blige and Nas, The Black Keys, Heart, The 1975, and tons more.

Lynyrd Skynyrd, ZZ Top, Megadeth, Ghost, Mastodon, and more are also playing this new hard rock and metal fest, and campers are invited to show up on their motorcycles.

Last year, Ghost made the jump to arenas with headlining shows at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center and Los Angeles’ The Forum, and now they’ve announced a lengthy arena tour of North America happening this September/October (though these are smaller, seven-to-eight thousand capacity arenas in smaller markets)…

The lineup also includes Meshuggah, The Prodigy, Gorjia, The Black Dahlia Murder, Knocked Loose, Vein, and more.

2019 Grammy nominees also include Janelle Monae, SZA, Arctic Monkeys, Margo Price, Bjork, Beck, David Byrne, High On Fire, Ghost, Chris Stapleton, Childish Gambino, Lady Gaga, Jon Hopkins, The Carters, Pusha T, and more.

The inaugural Ohio festival Sonic Temple (which replaces Rock on the Range) also includes Refused, The Prodigy, Joan Jett, The Cult, Mark Lanegan, Lamb of God, Gojira, Meshuggah, Tom Morello, Pussy Riot, and more…

”I’m sure the band believes the devil’s real; I doubt that they’re just doing this as a part of their shtick for music and music they produce,” said a local pastor who led his community in a prayer gathering outside the venue Ghost are playing.

The 2018 edition of New York Comic Con wrapped up on Sunday (10/7) at Jacob Javits Center with lots more cosplay and a panel on the upcoming tenth season of Archer, where cast members and executive producer Matt Thompson talked Burt Reynolds, Anthony Bourdain, “phrasing,” and more.
