Get Ready to Shine: Beyoncé’s Renaissance Tour Goes Cinematic

Leave a comment

Beyoncé, the music sensation, is bringing her epic world tour to the big screen at AMC Theatres!

Beyoncé’s Renaissance World Tour is set to make a cinematic splash, and fans are in for a treat. Reports suggest that the music icon is finalizing a deal to bring her globally acclaimed tour to the silver screen through none other than AMC Theatres. The news was first reported by Variety.

What has the BeyHive buzzing is the behind-the-scenes look at Beyoncé’s mind-blowing Renaissance tour performances. On her birthday, Queen Bey issued a unique request to her fans: dress in chrome-shimmering silver. The invitation was accepted, and hundreds of thousands of concertgoers transformed into a “shimmering human disco ball.”

The tour itself stands as a testament to Beyoncé’s unmatched prowess, ranking as her highest-grossing journey to date. Hollywood’s top agency, CAA, is managing the negotiations, and there’s fierce competition to collaborate with the superstar.

The cherry on top is the rumored incorporation of visuals from Beyoncé’s Renaissance album. While she teased music video-style content when the album dropped, the full visuals remained under wraps.

Securing tickets for the Renaissance World Tour was no easy feat, given the overwhelming demand. Now, it’s turning into a must-see movie. Insiders are hinting that the movie could hit theaters around December 1.

There’s also speculation that the movie might be a secret project Beyoncé worked on with director Nadia Lee Cohen. Cohen has previously directed Beyoncé’s music videos for “Formation,” “Sorry,” and “Hold Up.”

Fans are eagerly awaiting the release of the movie, which promises to be a cinematic celebration of Beyoncé’s artistry and mastery of live performance.

We’ll keep you updated on the latest news about the Beyoncé Renaissance World Tour movie, so be sure to check back soon!

ICYMI: Erykah Badu Announces Multiple 2021 Tour Dates

Leave a comment

erykah badu

Erykah Badu is hitting the road, multiple tour dates announced.

Erykah announced that she is going on tour and released a list of limited tour dates on Monday.

The neo-soul queen will kick off her tour on October 18, in Denver. She also plans to stop in New York City, Austin, Indianapolis, Atlanta, and Louisville.

Badu’s tour dates likely come as a relief to her fans after she confessed during an interview with the New York Times that she does not fancy touring.

“I didn’t miss it,” she said in reference to live shows. “I’ve always wanted to perform from my bed at home. I’m the laziest artist probably in Dallas. I never wanted to do the packing and going through the car and luggage and the hotel and, ‘What’s the password? What’s the internet?’ You get tired after years and years of doing it, you know?”

This news follows the recent announcement of Badu joining musical artist H.E.R. for H.E.R.’s Lights On Festival which takes place September 18, and 19, in Concord, California. Tickets for her solo shows go on sale to the general public on Friday, July 23.

With all our favorite musicians back on the road, which artist are you excited to see take the stage?

Promoters Sue Winston-Salem for Pooh Shiesty, Latto & Moneybagg Yo Concert Axed

Leave a comment

concert axed

A concert headlined by Pooh Shiesty, Latto, and Moneybagg Yo has been axed.

The City of Winston-Salem in North Carolina announced Tuesday that it has axed the upcoming show over fear of potential gang violence.

People were already unsure if Pooh Shiesty would have made his performance on July 31. The 21-year-old is being held in Florida awaiting trial with no bond. Allegedly he and two others are accused of shooting two men before robbing them of cannabis and high-end sneakers.

According to reports, local police investigated the backgrounds of the rappers and came to the conclusion there’s a high probability of violence in connection to the concert.

The City says they have agreed to refund all the organizer’s money and any tickets purchased.

But a pending lawsuit by Starr Entertainment alleges the city has canceled the performance and cost the organizers nearly a quarter of a million dollars.

The concert was set for July 31st. Will the organizers re coup the money they lost or should they toss it up as a bad investment?

Lupe Fiasco Will Require Fans Have COVID-19 Vaccine to Attend His Shows

Leave a comment

Screen Shot 2020 12 07 at 8.44.06 AM

In an unprecedented move by any entertainer of any genre, Lupe Fiasco is set to ensure that his fans are COVID free if they choose to pull up to his concerts.

Last week, following the announcements that a vaccine will be ready for public use in a matter of weeks, Lupe announced his new plan to make sure that all attendees to his shows are vaccinated.

Screen Shot 2020 12 07 at 8.33.36 AM

Many people are split on whether or not Americans should be required to receive vaccinations and those who have little trust for the government made it known in the comment section of his post.

One person wrote, “7,500,000 recoveries. We have vaccines for the influenza that are 40-60% effective yet we have a ‘magical’ vaccine that just after a few months, has OVER 90% effectiveness. It’s comical honestly. We’ve yet to develop vaccines for other important illnesses and here we are with the COVID vaccine. There have been MULTIPLE meta-analysis studies performed showcasing the harm and ineffectiveness of masks. Deaths are now over saturated with COVID deaths. Deaths related to the Flu? Almost gone. Deaths due to natural causes? Almost none. Heart disease? Almost none? Obesity? Almost none. This is a time in history which separates lions from sheeps.”

Last week, LF took to Twitter to debate some of those who are against vaccination and asked what they propose beside what the government has to offer.

Allied Esports will supply its fleet of mobile Esports venues, HyperX Esports Trucks that will serve as a hub for the LiveZone events. The trucks provide full event and production capabilities, crowd facing LED displays, player stations, and a VIP lounge.

Speaking on the new deal, Rob Ellin, Chairman, and CEO of LiveXLive stated:

“With this partnership, we are bringing the two fastest-growing live entertainment categories together, enhancing the experience for both consumers and brands.

Jud Hannigan, CEO of Allied Esports added:

“Esports and gaming represent an expansive and emerging audience that has been incredibly hard to reach by those targeting its demographic. Partnerships with forward-thinking companies like LiveXLive will allow us to continue to bridge the gap between esports and other entertainment industries and deliver high-end, brand-friendly experiences and content for consumers around the world.”

Sounds like a unique experience indeed.
