SUMMARY:Janet Jackson at Talking Stick Resort Amphitheatre
DESCRIPTION:Janet Jackson is one of the most influential entertainers of the modern era. Her music has won her 6 GRAMMY® Awards\, 2 Emmy Nominations\, a Golden Globe Award\, a nomination for an Academy Award along with dozens of American Music Awards\, MTV Video Music Awards and Billboard Music Awards. She has received accolades as an actress as well including the NAACP Best Supporting Actor award. Janet is a published author\, dancer\, businessperson\, philanthropist and one of the biggest-selling artists in popular music history. With sales of over 160 million records worldwide\, Janet Jackson stands as one of the best-selling artists of all time with a string of hits that have left an indelible impression on pop culture. Her music and artistry has opened doors through which other top artists have followed\, many acknowledging her impact on their musical perception. \nhttps://youtu.be/yv8LjBBb1bQ \n \nWhen rap’s Dirty South movement broke nationwide in the late ’90s and early 2000s\, Ludacris rode it to immediate widespread popularity\, becoming arguably the most commercially successful Southern rapper of the time. The entirety of the aughts found the rapper scoring hit after mainstream hit and selling platinum numbers of records like 2001’s Word of Mouf and 2003’s Chicken -N- Beer. He quickly became a multifaceted superstar\, making multiple film and television appearances while staying active in music with consistent guest features on other artists’ tracks and albums of his own like 2015’s Ludaversal. \nBorn Christopher Bridges on September 11\, 1977\, in Champaign\, Illinois\, Ludacris moved to Atlanta during his high school years and attended Banneker High School there. He then studied at Georgia State University. His entry into the rap industry came via radio; he worked as a disc jockey at Atlanta-based urban station Hot 97.5 (which later became Hot 107.9)\, where he was known as DJ Chris Lova Lova\, and this was how he became acquainted with Timbaland. The producer featured Ludacris (then billed as Ludichris) on the song “Fat Rabbit” from his album Tim’s Bio (1998)\, and with such a high-profile feature to his credit\, the groundwork was laid for the rapper. Ludacris proceeded to record an independent album\, Incognegro (1999)\, which he in turn released regionally himself\, on the label Disturbing tha Peace. Ludacris primarily worked with producer Shondrae for the album\, though also with Organized Noize\, the acclaimed production team behind the early albums of OutKast and Goodie Mob. Incognegro sold well enough to break into the Billboard 200\, and Ludacris was approached by Scarface of the Geto Boys\, who as a representative of Def Jam was interested in negotiating a recording contract. \nIn late 2000\, Def Jam repackaged Incognegro and released it as Back for the First Time\, adding a few new songs: a U.G.K. collaboration (“Stick ‘Em Up”)\, a Neptunes production (“Southern Hospitality”)\, and a remix of his previously released song with Timbaland (retitled “Phat Rabbit”). The album’s lead single\, “What’s Your Fantasy?\,” became a major hit nationally\, peaking at number 21 on the Hot 100\, and the follow-up single\, “Southern Hospitality\,” was similarly popular\, charting at number 23. This pair of hits helped drive sales of Back for the First Time\, which climbed all the way to number four on the Billboard 200. The follow-up album\, Word of Mouf (2001)\, was an even greater success for Ludacris\, charting at number three and spawning a series of hit singles that carried over well into 2002: “Area Codes\,” “Rollout (My Business)\,” “Saturday (Oooh Oooh!)\,” “Welcome to Atlanta\,” and “Move Bitch.” After these singles had run their course\, a collaborative album\, Golden Grain (2002)\, was released\, showcasing the assembly of talent signed to Ludacris’ revived Disturbing tha Peace label\, which was now in partnership with Def Jam. The following year was a busy one for Ludacris\, as he appeared in the film 2 Fast 2 Furious and released his third album\, Chicken -N- Beer\, his first to reach number one on the Billboard 200. Chicken -N- Beer brought with it another series of hits\, including the Hot 100 number one “Stand Up” and number six “Splash Waterfalls.” \nLudacris continued his output the following year\, with The Red Light District (2004)\, another number one album loaded with hit singles (“Get Back\,” “Number One Spot\,” “Pimpin’ All Over the World”). Disturbing tha Peace (2005)\, a second collaborative album featuring the label’s roster of talent\, was Ludacris’ only release for the year\, and he kept a relatively low profile until the release of Release Therapy (2006)\, an introspective album on which he vowed that he would be taken more seriously than in the past. Another chart-topper\, Release Therapy included only two Hot 100-charting singles\, yet both were smashes: “Money Maker” (number one) and “Runaway Love” (number two). In 2007\, Ludacris got a lot of airplay as the featured guest on Fergie‘s number one hit “Glamorous.” A year later a mixtape with DJ Drama called The Preview preceded the November release of Theater of the Mind. The long list of guest stars included director Spike Lee and comedian/actor Chris Rock. His 2010 effort\, Battle of the Sexes\, was originally planned as a joint release with Shawnna\, but when the female rapper left the DTP family\, it became a solo Ludacris album. In 2014\, the rapper announced his ninth album and released the EP Burning Bridges as a preview. Ludaversal followed a year later\, with Usher\, Miguel\, and Big K.R.I.T. on the guest list\, along with production from David Guetta\, Rico Love\, and Cashmere Cat. After adding more acting roles to his résumé\, Ludacris returned in 2017 with the singles “Vitamin D” with Ty Dolla $ign and “Vices.” Work toward a tenth studio album stretched out over many years\, and in September of 2020\, the new single “Found You” arrived featuring a guest spot from Chance the Rapper. ~ Jason Birchmeier & Fred Thomas\, Rovi

SUMMARY:Garbage & Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds at Talking Stick Resort Amphitheatre
DESCRIPTION:Since releasing their eponymous debut album in 1995\, Garbage – composed of Shirley Manson\, Duke Erikson\, Steve Market and Butch Vig – has blazed a distinct sonic trail. With a passel of hits including “Stupid Girl\,” “Push It\,” “Only Happy When it Rains” and “I Think I’m Paranoid\,” they’ve garnered consistent critical acclaim as well as seven Grammy nominations along the way to 17 million albums sold. The band’s ferocious new album No Gods No Masters continues to expand their musical vision. The 11-track collection is by turns brutal and beautiful\, a celebration of the sonic maelstrom and a triumph of silence\, sometimes within the space of a single song. “This is our seventh record\, the significant numerology of which affected the DNA of its content: the seven virtues\, the seven sorrows\, and the seven deadly sins\,” says Manson\, the band’s iconic frontwoman. No Gods No Masters is a big\, bold and indignant record – overtly political and socially charged in a way that the band has not been before\, with songs touching on themes ranging from global unrest and encroaching climate change\, the Black Lives Matter movement\, sexism and misogyny. The result is the perfect soundtrack for a fraught moment from a band that has been making its unique mark for nearly 30 years – a record that could only have come from the intimate relationship between musicians who have matured and grown together over the course of their careers. \n \n \nNoel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds first emerged in October 2011 with their eponymous album which went double platinum in the UK selling over 2.5 million copies worldwide. In the two decades prior\, Noel Gallagher was main songwriter\, lead guitarist and occasional lead vocalist of Oasis\, one of the biggest and most loved UK bands. By the time a 2nd album was due for release\, NGHFB had already played 150 live shows in 32 countries. ‘Chasing Yesterday’ was released in March 2015\, followed by another 122 shows across 28 countries. The 3rd studio album\, ‘Who Built The Moon?’\, was recorded with renowned producer and composer David Holmes and released in November 2017. The live appearances continued throughout 2019 including tours of the USA and Australia with Smashing Pumpkins and U2 respectively. Noel once again challenged industry norms releasing a series of critically acclaimed multi-genre EP’s throughout 2019 & 2020. June 2021 saw the release of ‘Back The Way We Came: Vol 1 (2011-2021)’ – a Best Of celebrating a decade of the band\, curated by Noel. This was NGHFB’s 4th consecutive No.1 album and the 12th across Noel’s career. In Summer 2022\, Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds completed a nationwide tour of outdoor shows\, culminating with an epic set on Glastonbury’s Pyramid Stage to one of the weekend’s biggest crowds. NGHFB recently released new singles ‘Pretty Boy’\, ‘Easy Now’ & ‘Council Skies’ taken from the studio album ‘Council Skies’\, out June 2\, 2023. \n \n

SUMMARY:Fall Out Boy + Bring Me The Horizon at Talking Stick Resort Amphitheatre
DESCRIPTION:Fall Out Boy rose to the forefront of emo pop in the mid-2000s\, blending power pop-style hooks with soulful vocals and dance-friendly grooves. Rising from the punk underground\, the band made their mainstream breakthrough in 2005 with their sophomore set\, From Under the Cork Tree\, spawning the hits “Sugar\, We’re Goin Down” and “Dance\, Dance.” Two years later\, they topped the Billboard 200 with Infinity on High. Shifting from the Warped Tour crowd to sold-out arenas by the 2010s\, they issued a string of chart-topping albums that decade — Save Rock and Roll\, American Beauty/American Psycho\, M A N I A — all of which found them embracing a wider range of styles\, including R&B and electro-pop. Along the way\, they continued to score mainstream hits that served the mosh pits as well as sports stadiums. In 2023\, they delivered their anthemic eighth album So Much (for) Stardust. \nThe group’s four members first came together in Wilmette\, a bedroom community north of Chicago\, around 2001. Vocalist/guitarist Patrick Stump\, bassist/lyricist Pete Wentz\, drummer Andrew Hurley\, and guitarist Joe Trohman had all taken part in various bands connected to Chicago’s underground hardcore scene. Most notably\, Hurley drummed for Racetraitor\, the furiously political metalcore outfit. As Fall Out Boy\, the quartet used the unbridled intensity of hardcore as a foundation for melody-drenched pop-punk\, with a heavy debt to the emo scene. They debuted with a self-released demo in 2001\, following it up in May 2002 with a split LP (issued on the Uprising label) that also featured Project Rocket\, for which Hurley also drummed. The band remained with the label for the release of a mini-LP\, Fall Out Boy’s Evening Out with Your Girl\, but a bidding war of sorts was already in full swing. \nFall Out Boy eventually signed a deal with Fueled by Ramen\, the Florida-based label co-owned by Less Than Jake drummer Vinnie Fiorello\, but also received an advance from Island Records to record a proper debut album. The advance came with a right of first refusal for Island on Fall Out Boy’s next album\, but it also financed the recording of Take This to Your Grave\, which occurred at Butch Vig‘s Smart Studios compound in Madison\, Wisconsin\, with producer Sean O’Keefe (Lucky Boys Confusion\, Motion City Soundtrack) at the helm. Take This to Your Grave appeared in May 2003 and Fall Out Boy earned positive reviews for subsequent gigs at South by Southwest and various tour appearances. Their breakout album\, the ambitious From Under the Cork Tree\, followed in spring 2005\, quickly reaching the Top Ten of Billboard’s album chart and spawning two Top Ten hits with “Sugar We’re Going Down” and the furiously upbeat “Dance\, Dance.” The album went double platinum and earned the musicians a Grammy nomination for Best New Artist. \nFall Out Boy’s underground star status — driven by the especially extroverted Wentz\, who also gained exposure with his clothing line\, his Decaydance record label (an imprint of Fueled by Ramen)\, and eventually a celebrity relationship with Ashlee Simpson — had boiled over into the mainstream. They toured extensively\, supporting the album with international tours\, arena shows\, TRL visits\, late-night television gigs\, and music award shows. Without taking a break\, the guys then hunkered down to work on their follow-up record with From Under the Cork Tree producer Neil Avron (and\, somewhat surprisingly\, Babyface). Infinity on High\, whose title was taken from a line in one of Van Gogh‘s personal letters\, appeared in early February 2007\, spearheaded by the hit single “This Ain’t a Scene\, It’s an Arms Race.” The album continued Fall Out Boy’s streak\, debuting at number one on the Billboard charts and going platinum one month later. Released in early 2008\, the CD/DVD package Live in Phoenix documented the band’s strength as a flashy live act\, while the full-length studio effort Folie à Deux followed later that year. \nRecording sessions for Folie à Deux were tough\, prompting the band to take an open-ended hiatus soon after the album’s release. Joe Trohman and Andy Hurley joined a new band\, Damned Things\, during the interim\, while Wentz teamed up with a new vocalist\, Bebe Rexha\, to form Black Cards. Stump took the opportunity to launch a solo career\, ditching his band’s emo pop music in favor of a more electronic\, R&B-influenced sound. In 2011\, he released his debut solo album\, Soul Punk\, cracking the top 50 of the Billboard 200. Despite the solo projects\, it wasn’t long before rumors of a Fall Out Boy reunion began to swirl. In February 2013\, the band confirmed that the rumors were true: they had reunited for a new album called Save Rock and Roll and an accompanying tour. Preceded by the single “My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark (Light ‘Em Up)\,” Save Rock and Roll was released in April of 2013 and promptly debuted at number one on the U.S. charts. The band stayed busy during the subsequent year as well\, creating a video for each song on the album\, recording the punk-inspired EP Pax-Am Days (with production from Ryan Adams)\, and headlining tours that reached America\, Europe\, and Australia. \nIn late 2014\, Fall Out Boy premiered a new single\, “Centuries\,” the first glimpse of their sixth album\, American Beauty/American Psycho. Produced in part by J.R. Rotem and SebastiAn\, it combined Fall Out Boy’s core punk-pop sound with elements of electronica\, R&B\, and hip-hop. The album debuted at number one when it was released the following January and it stayed on the charts thanks to the Munsters-sampling single “Uma Thurman\,” which was certified platinum. The band released a remix version of the album called Make America Psycho Again in October 2015. \nOut Boy revealed that their forthcoming seventh album\, M A N I A\, would be released later that year. The announcement was accompanied by the album’s first single\, “Young and Menace.” Although they released a second single\, “Champion\,” they felt the album needed more work and headed back into the studio to in the latter half of 2017. This version of M A N I A appeared in January 2018 and debuted at number one on the Billboard charts upon its release. In September 2019\, Fall Out Boy collaborated with Wyclef Jean on the single “Dear Future Self (Hands Up)\,” which appeared on their second anthology\, Believers Never Die: Greatest Hits\, Vol. 2. \nIn January 2023\, the group returned with the singles “Love from the Other Side” and “Heartbreak Feels So Good\,” the first tracks released off their eighth studio album\, So Much (for) Stardust. That same month\, guitarist Trohman revealed he was taking a break from the band to focus on his mental health. Released that March\, So Much (for) Stardust featured production by Neal Avron\, who had previously helmed Folie à Deux. The album also marked the band’s return to Fueled by Ramen following the end of their contract with Island Records. \n \n \nEnglish rock band Bring Me the Horizon have made a steady progression from their death metal-inspired grindcore debut to melodic metalcore\, maturing into a pop-savvy headline act by the end of their first decade together. With each release — from 2006’s caustic Count Your Blessings to 2013’s mainstream breakthrough Sempiternal — they dialed back the blood-curdling screams and injected more melody until capturing an alt-metal balance on their 2015 international chart-topping effort That’s the Spirit. By 2019’s Amo\, they had incorporated elements of electronic and even hip-hop into their edgy\, genre-blurring blend. In 2020 Bring Me the Horizon issued Post Human: Survival Horror\, the first installment of an ambitious four-part arc of EPs that they followed up in 2021 with DiE4u. They spent much of 2022 collaborating with artists like Ed Sheeran and Machine Gun Kelly\, and the single “Lost” appeared in 2023. \nThe group was formed in 2004 from the ashes of several Sheffield-based outfits\, with the 2003 Disney film Pirates of the Caribbean serving as the inspiration for the band’s name. Singer Oliver Sykes\, guitarists Lee Malia and Curtis Ward\, bassist Matt Kean\, and drummer Matt Nicholls initially established their own label\, Thirty Days of Night\, to release their debut EP\, 2005’s This Is What the Edge of Your Seat Was Made For. Upon signing to the higher-profile label Visible Noise (whose roster also included Bullet for My Valentine and Lostprophets)\, they reissued the EP to a wider audience. Bring Me the Horizon’s full-length debut\, Count Your Blessings\, appeared in October 2006\, with an American release following one year later courtesy of Epitaph Records. \nWith their second album\, Suicide Season\, Bring Me the Horizon moved in a more accessible direction and wound up cracking the U.K. album charts. Not everyone approved of the new sound\, though\, and Ward left the band in early 2009. His temporary replacement was Jona Weinhofen\, formerly a member of I Killed the Prom Queen. Weinhofen ended up staying with the band as a permanent member\, and the group returned to the studio with producer Fredrik Nordström in March 2010 to begin work on a third album. The resulting There Is a Hell\, Believe Me I’ve Seen It\, There Is a Heaven\, Let’s Keep It a Secret was released during the latter half of 2010\, several months after the band wrapped up their engagement with the Warped Tour. \nA fourth album\, the critically lauded Sempiternal\, arrived on Epitaph in 2013\, and peaked at number three on the U.K. albums chart. Bring Me the Horizon’s next effort marked a stark departure from the sound they’d been honing since their debut. Released in 2015\, the loosely conceptual That’s the Spirit saw the group dropping some of their metalcore tendencies in lieu of a more melodic\, alt-metal approach\, capturing mainstream ears with the singles “Happy Song\,” “True Friends\,” and “Avalanche.” Their highest-performing effort to date\, the set topped charts across the globe\, peaking in the Top Three in their native England and in the U.S. Riding the success of Spirit\, the band staged an ambitious charity concert benefitting the Teenage Cancer Trust. Backed by the Parallax Orchestra and Simon Dobson\, the group set their hits to orchestral backing on 2016’s Live at the Royal Albert Hall. \nIn the summer of 2018\, Bring Me the Horizon continued down an increasingly experimental path with the mainstream-ready anthem “Mantra” and the surprisingly poppy “Medicine.” Both tracks landed on their sixth full-length effort\, Amo\, which was released in early 2019. Their first U.K. chart-topper\, Amo incorporated electronic dance elements and trap production\, featuring guest appearances by Dani Filth (Cradle of Filth)\, art-pop singer Grimes\, and rapper Rahzel. As the band toured the globe\, they joined a stacked roster of artists for the soundtrack to the video game Death Stranding\, contributing the track “Ludens.” At the close of 2019\, in addition to Amo receiving a Grammy nomination for Best Rock Album\, the group issued a surprise project titled Music to Listen To…. The experimental foray dabbled in electronic atmospherics\, ambient noise\, and trip-hop\, reimagining tracks from Amo in the process. Guests on the release include Halsey and Theresa Jarvis of Yonaka. \nIn early 2020\, the band quarantined in their home studios during the COVID-19 pandemic to record their next effort\, which was heavily influenced by global events. During the summer\, they issued “Parasite Eve” and the industrial-tinged “Obey\,” a collaboration with English upstart Yungblud. These tracks landed on Post Human: Survival Horror\, the first installment of a proposed multi-part EP series. In addition to the previously released singles\, the set also included appearances by Babymetal (“Kingslayer”)\, Nova Twins (“1×1”)\, and Amy Lee of Evanescence (“One Day…”). Part two\, the more melodic and anthemic DiE4u\, arrived the following year. A string of high-profile collaborations marked the band’s 2022 output and included featured appearances with Ed Sheeran (“Bad Habits”)\, Machine Gun Kelly (“Maybe”)\, and Sigrid (“Bad Life”). They returned with their own single\, “Strangers\,” in July of that year. Another single\, “Lost\,” arrived in May 2023. \n \n
