BROCKHAMPTON announce “I’ll Be There” North American tour

Last Sunday, BROCKHAMPTON announced they’d be dropping a new album called Iridescence following month. Now, the hip-hop boyband has scheduled a North American fall tour in support of that release.

Spanning 27 dates, the “I’ll Be There” tour goes off October 3rd at Mesa, Arizona prior to making its way through Houston, New Orleans, Philadelphia, New York, Toronto, Chicago, Seattle, Denver, and Las Vegas, one of the cities. The itinerary also includes festival looks at Austin City Limits along with Tyler, the Creator’s Camp Flog Gnaw at Los Angeles.

This newest run of dates follows BROCKHAMPTON’s most stint over in Europe. In addition, it comes after the group decided to part ways with manhood Ameer Vann following accusations of misconduct and psychological and sexual abuse by women.

Iridescence, which appears to be separate from the previously declared the best years of our lives, is going to be the group’s first album since last season ’s most impressive SATURATION III.

The music industry made $43 billion in 2017, but artists only took away 12% of it

The music industry made $43 billion in 2017, but artists only took away 12% of itDJ SNAKE Photo By Eva Blue 07

Musicians’ struggles in today’s industry are well-documented. Royalties have plummeted as a result of downloading or streaming, with extended touring taking place of beatmaking as the prime kind of income. On top of all this, the teams behind these artists also have to make a living, cutting profits further.

It comes as no surprise, then, that Citigroup’s latest report on the music industry economy asserts that musicians only took home 12% of the $43 billion in revenue generated industry-wide in 2017. The cycle is a cruel one — creators often rely on publishers, tech companies, and other team members to help get their message out and allow them to make a living through their craft in the first place. However, the cost of this success is that these outside parties suck up greater amounts of income in return.

Citigroup didn’t paint an overly grim picture with its reporting. In fact, it posed potential paths of redistributing some of the revenues to the musicians that helped generate it in the first place. It foresaw two potential vertical integrating models, with one pointing to promoters and platforms like Spotify merging together. Or, Spotify and its ilk will cross into the label space as another form of vertical integration that would benefit artists. Finally, Citigroup also posed a horizontal model where different distribution platforms merge with one another.

Also, the fact that artists are taking a 12% stake in the industry is good news in itself — in 2000, that number was at 7 %. The report shows this to the increase of royalties via streaming subscriptions, and also growth within the concert business. Only time will tell how the industry evolves to tip the financial scales back in the artists’ favors.

Mike Shinoda to headline fall 2018 North American Monster Energy Outbreak Tour

Featured image

Mike Shinoda has been tapped as the headliner of the Monster Energy Outbreak Tour this fall, marking his first full-scale solo trek of North America.

The vocalist and multi-instrumentalist released his first solo album, Post Traumatic, in June. The tour announcement comes a little more than a year after Shinoda’s Linkin Park bandmate Chester Bennington took his own life.

Along with performing, Shinoda will present art pieces that he created while making Post Traumatic at each stop on the tour.

“Listening to a recorded song is not the same as experiencing that song live on stage,” explained Shinoda in a press release. “Similarly, seeing a painting in an album or book is not the same as seeing the original, in person. In sharing a live experience with you, my hope is to inspire questions, answers, and reflection — not only about my story, but about your own. The search for meaning is boundless, and art is often one of our best vehicles.”

The trek kicks off October 10th in Montreal, Canada, and wraps November 17th in Silver Spring, Michigan. Tickets for the tour go on sale to the public this Friday, with various pre-sales beginning tomorrow. More information and ticket links can be found at the official Monster Energy Outbreak Tour page.
