Shakira is rescheduling her North American tour that was originally slated for this autumn. Now set to take place in 2025, the Colombian pop star’s revamped concerts include upgrades to bigger venues, like stadiums, in addition to some of the original arena locations. See her updated tour details below.

Named after her new album, Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran, the world tour now begins in Rio de Janeiro, on February 11, and will last on through the summer, with Shakira’s last date scheduled for June 30 in San Francisco. Sandwiched in the tour is a special headlining set at the Welcome Concert for WorldPride DC 2025, which will be held at Washington, D.C.’s Nationals Park. Beyond her stops in the United States and Canada, Shakira will also perform concerts in the aforementioned Brazil, as well as Peru, Colombia, Chile, Argentina, and Mexico.

Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran marked Shakira’s first studio album in seven years. The follow-up to 2017’s El Dorado includes her viral hit “Shakira: Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 53,” which was a collaboration with Bizarrap as part of his ongoing series.

Childish Gambino is officially canceling his New World Tour, which he had paused last month “to focus on [his] physical health.” In a new post today, on X, the musician shared, “After my show in New Orleans, I went to the hospital in Houston to make sure of an ailment that had become apparent.” He continued, “After being assesed, it became clear i would not perform that night, and after more tests, i could not perform the rest of the US tour in the time asked. As of now I have surgery scheduled and need time out to heal.”

Childish Gambino will issue refunds for the unfulfilled shows. The musician most recently performed on September 7, at New Orleans’ Smoothie King Center, and called off North American shows that were scheduled to occur between September 8 and October 2. He was due to begin the European leg of his tour on October 31 and stay on the continent until December 5. Pitchfork has reached out to Childish Gambino’s representatives about the status of January and February 2025 concerts in Oceania.

Childish Gambino:

After my show in New Orleans, I went to the hospital in Houston to make sure of an ailment that had become apparent. After being assesed, it became clear i would not perform that night, and after more tests, i could not perform the rest of the US tour in the time asked. As of now I have surgery scheduled and need time out to heal.

My path to recovery is something I need to confront seriously. With that said, we have made the difficult decision to cancel the remainder of the North American tour and the UK and European dates. Tickets will be refunded at point of purchase.

I want nothing more than to bring this show to the fans and perform. Until then, thanks for love, privacy, and support .

MJ Lenderman has postponed the first three dates of his upcoming tour in support of Manning Fireworks due to “the ongoing natural disaster and humanitarian crisis in Western North Carolina as a result of Hurricane Helene, where most of MJ Lenderman’s band and their families are based,” reads his Instagram post. Severe damage from Hurricane Helene flooding has left thousands without power in Western North Carolina, destroyed roads, and totaled houses and businesses.

“Our tour will now begin this Sunday in Knoxville,” the post continues. “Please stay tuned for additional information regarding rescheduled shows for Atlanta and Nashville.” Lenderman, an Asheville native, also shared links to local disaster relief mutual aid and organizations on the ground that he trusts, should fans want to donate to help those affected by the hurricane.

The majority of Lenderman’s extensive tour is unaffected. His Manning Fireworks route now begins on October 6, in Knoxville, Tennessee, and keeps Lenderman and his band on the road on through to April of next year. Opening selects concerts are Ryan Davis & the Roadhouse Band, Hollow Hand, Wild Pink, This Is Lorelei, and Nap Eyes.

Last month, MJ Lenderman & the Wind performed the Manning Fireworks single “Wristwatch” on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. It was his late-night television solo debut, and Lenderman was also accompanied by his Wednesday bandmate Karly Hartzman on backup vocals and tambourine for the experience.

Low-Key Indie Rocker MJ Lenderman Wants to Tell a Bigger Story

Gang of Four have announced a farewell tour slated for next year. Nearly 50 years after they formed, the English post-punk band will hit the road one last time in North America next spring. Gang of Four will play their classic debut album, 1979’s Entertainment!, in full each night as well as a handful of fan favorites and deep cuts from their catalog. Check out the band’s full itinerary below.

Beginning on April 20, Gang of Four will kick off their North American farewell tour in Boston before embarking across the United States and Canada. After making stops in major cities like Toronto, New York, Chicago, Atlanta, Seattle, and Los Angeles, Gang of Four will wrap up that leg with a show in San Diego on May 29.

“2025 will be the 45th anniversary of the release of Entertainment! in the US, and will be our final year as a band. It’s been wonderful, but all things must end,” Gang of Four wrote in a statement. “We want to go out with a bang and celebrate with our fans and friends. So, on what will be our last US tour, we’ll play two sets at each show: ‘Entertainment!” from start to finish in the first, and the best of the rest in the second. Come and join in, it’ll be a blast!”

Four years ago, Gang of Four’s steely frontman and guitarist Andy Gill died following a “short respiratory illness.” The band released three records since then featuring the late Gill: the 2020 EPs This Heaven Gives Me Migraines and Anti Hero, and the long-awaited box set 77-81.

Bright Eyes are canceling their 2024 tour dates. The announcement comes after the band recently pulled out of Riot Fest and two other concerts. Bright Eyes have said that they’re canceling the shows because Conor Oberst “has developed a condition that is exacerbated by excessive singing, requiring both treatment and recuperation.” The band plans to return to the road in 2025. See Bright Eyes’ full statement on the Concerts below.

Earlier this month, Bright Eyes played warmup shows, in Chicago, Cleveland, and Philadelphia, in advance of their new album, Five Dice, All Threes. They had been due to resume their 2024 tour, in Oakland, in October. They were also due to perform at the inaugural Best Friends Forever Festival, in Las Vegas, before playing shows in the United Kingdom and Europe.

We regret to announce that we will have to cancel our shows for the rest of the year including in Los Angeles, Oakland, Las Vegas and Europe. We love our fans and are incredibly disappointed that we won’t be able to play these shows. All tickets for headline shows will be refunded at point of purchase and we will keep everyone posted on plans for rescheduling.

Over the past week, Conor has undergone multiple tests to determine the cause of his recent vocal problems. It’s come to light that he has developed a condition that is exacerbated by excessive singing, requiring both treatment and recuperation. We are confident that with a successful regimen, and continued medical attention, we will be able to return to the road next year.

Much love & thank you for your understanding.
Bright Eyes
