Eagles have again extended their stay at Sphere Las Vegas. They’ve added 4 shows, starting Sept. 5. As it now stands, their residency will run 36 shows in all, and is currently scheduled to end on Sept. 13 — almost a year after it began on Sept. 20, 2024.

 

James Taylor's discography will be used in a musical, currently titled “Fire and Rain” after his 1970 hit. The project will tell an original story from Tracy Letts, the playwright behind “August: Osage County”. Tony Award winner David Cromer (“The Band’s Visit”) will direct.

Styx frontman, Lawrence Gowan, says “South Park” is largely responsible for bringing younger listeners into their fanbase. In an interview, he said: “I’m happy to admit that’d I’d say it’s 1% our effort and 99% South Park’s influence.” In one episode, ‘Eric Cartman’ memorably belts out the entire tune (Come Sail Away). It later appeared on 1998’s “Chef Aid: The South Park Album”.

Sting has added some new dates to his “Sting 3.0” tour. Those include a third show at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado, on May 22, as well as a Nov. 18 show in Uncasville CT. The tour is now set to kick off May 19 with the 3-night stand at Red Rocks.
