Foo Fighters will headline the 2022 Big Sky Music Festival.

Published

The Grammy-winning Foo Fighters are set to play at the Peak to Sky music festival in August 2022, just months after their appearance at Mayhem Festival.

In 2019, the inaugural edition of the festival was held in honor of Mike McCready, a member of Pearl Jam. Taylor Hawkins, the Foo Fighters’ drummer, performed that show with McCready, Brandi Carlile and members of Guns n’ Roses and the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

This year, the entire group has agreed to headline the event on August 10th.

“They’re one of the most popular bands on the planet, and it’s a dream come true not just as a music fan, but also as a rock-and-roll lover to have them perform in our backyard,” said Eric Ladd, founder and owner of Outlaw Partners. The Peak to Sky festival is produced by Outlaw Partners with Laura Glass of Cocolittle Media.

“It’s a dream come true, but it’s also a testament to dreaming big and a testament to the allure of a stunning area like southwest Montana,” Ladd added.

Tickets for Peak to Sky go on sale on Dec. 3 at the Peak to Sky website, peaktosky.com. Tickets start at $120.

The group’s final stop before ending their 20th anniversary tour in 2022 will be one of the smallest and most personal shows they’ve ever done.

The band will be playing an already-sold-out show at the London Stadium with support from Courtney Barnett and Hot Milk just over a month before competing at the Big Sky Events Arena.

The London Stadium seats 80,000 people, whereas the Big Sky Events Arena can only accommodate 5,000.

“Those who are lucky enough to obtain a pass will be witnessing history,” Ladd added.

The 2022 Peak to Sky music festival will not include any additional bands, but Ladd revealed that more information would be provided soon.

The Foo Fighters have won 12 Grammy Awards, including four for Best Rock Album, and were enshrined in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2021, their first year eligible.

After the death of Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain in 1994, Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl formed the Foo Fighters with bassist Taylor Hawkins and vocalist/guitarist Pat Smear.

The new lineup features Dave Grohl on vocals and guitar, Chad Hawkins on drums, Pat Smear on guitar, Nate Mendel on bass, Chris Shiflett on lead guitar, and Rami Jaffee on the keys. Shiflett previously performed in No Use for a Name; Mendel was formerly in Sunny Day Real Estate; Jaffee was a member of The Wallflowers and has worked with other musicians.

The Foo Fighters have four entries on the Billboard Rock chart, the most recent of which is The Pretender, which spent five weeks at number one in 2007. Medicine at Midnight, the band’s most recent album, was released in February 2021.

The Foo Fighters have also used the moniker the Dixie Dewdrops. The brothers released a Bee Gees covers album and a live-in-studio Medicine at Midnight record called “Hail Satin” in July 2021.

Over all we are very excited about the news and hope to see you all there! Will you be attending? Let us know in the comments below.

What Louis Tomlinson Thinks About A Possible One Direction Reunion

Published

on

After breaking out in the media with hits such as “What Makes You Beautiful,” “Story Of My Life,” “Best Song Ever,” and more, 1D took the world by storm (via Digital Spy). However, in 2015, the boy band shocked their devoted followers when they announced that they will be taking a break. According to E! News, the group shocked their fans by announcing that they would go on hiatus in 2015. After Zayn Malik announced his intentions to leave 1D, the band decided to disband in order to focus on their own solo projects.

“They are great friends and fully support one another,” a source said of the group. “They are very aware that they are able to work on their own stuff as well as remain together. This is an exciting time for them creatively and as a group.” However, it appears that at least one member of One Direction was in opposition to the split.

Before the break, Tomlinson told The Guardian that he was feeling optimistic about the band. “In the last year of One Direction, I was probably the most confident I ever was,” he said. “And then it was: ‘OK, hiatus!'” He acknowledged that he struggled against it, but ultimately lost.

Since then, One Direction has yet to record any new music. The group’s future, on the other hand, appears promising.

Did Louis Tomlinson hint at a possible 1D reunion?

According to Cheat Sheet, since announcing the group’s hiatus in 2015, One Direction members have been working on their solo careers and other activities like beginning families. Louis Tomlinson recently spoke out about a possible reunion and left fans wondering if there could be hope for the group in the future, despite Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Liam Payne, and Zayn Malik all remaining quiet on the subject of a reunion.

In 2021, Tomlinson took part in the WIRED Google autocomplete challenge, answering queries about himself that fans most search for on the internet. He went through his tattoos, color of his hair, eye color, and more before finally getting to One Direction. When asked about the group he replied, “Good time in my life. Hopefully, we come back.” The return of an iconic logo inspired fans to believe that perhaps, just maybe, the band was reuniting. Fans also noticed that when Tomlinson referred to 1D as the band he “is” in before correcting himself to say “was,” he made a minor slip of the tongue.

Could Harry’s comments be hinting at a One Direction reunion? Despite the fact that it appears improbable for now, fans have not stopped hoping for the group to reunite and create new music in the future.

This Is How Elton John Got His Name

Published

on

Elton John is one of the most famous names in modern music, with his distinctive appearance and voice, as well as instantly-recognizable songs. It’s difficult to find many individuals who haven’t heard Elton John, better known as “The Rocketman,” thanks to his signature song of the same name. In fact, the Elton John biopic film released in 2019 was called “Rocketman” because the word is so easily identifiable with John (via IMDb).

However, prior to his career as “The Rocketman” and even before he earned the moniker “Elton John,” he was known by a different name. He actually went by his birth name, Reginald Kenneth Dwight, and dropped out of school at the age of 17 to pursue a music career (via Biography). He eventually changed his name because he was becoming more successful, however even the film documenting his life didn’t get his change of name right.

Elton John chose a new name on the fly

The film “Rocketman” tells audiences that Reginald Kenneth Dwight changed his name to Elton John after meeting John Lennon, the famous Beatle. Lennon, on the other hand, had nothing to do with how Elton John got his name. Another singer known as John also existed.

According to a 1991 interview with Rowan Atkinson, Reginald Dwight was a member of the group “Bluesology” and decided to go it alone, hence the name change. He said he chose the name Elton after a saxophone player in the group because he wanted to branch out on his own. In a 1990 interview conducted after the release of his CD box set entitled “To Be Continued…”

“I was in Bluesology, and we were coming back from a Long John Baldry gig somewhere, and we got a bus from London airport to London and someone said, ‘We’ve made it now, so what are you going to call yourself?'” John said (via The Wrap). “The saxophone player in the band was called Elton Dean, a very good jazz sax player, and the only other Elton I could think of was Elton Hayes, who recorded the song ‘The Owl and the Pussycat.’ So I took ‘Elton’ from Elton Dean and ‘John’ from Long John Baldry. I wanted to choose a name that nobody had, and it was as quick as that.”

Fans Think Britney Spears Is Pregnant According to Them

Published

on

When Britney Spears updated her Instagram Story, she may have started a rumour about herself. The singer and her partner Sam Asghari are relaxing on Maui, Hawaii at present. While posing for photos with her adoring public, Spears revealed that lately she hasn’t felt too well (via Fox News).

“I think I have a small bug … the only thing that is similar to this feeling is when I was pregnant…” the star wrote as a caption to the clip. She continued, “it’s the nausea that is the worst … It’s like I can’t wake up so I go to the gym trying to wake my system up !!!”

Spears continued her post by writing, “It’s like clockwork … I break my first sweat then I go to the bathroom and throw up… it’s absolutely horrible but then I stay at the gym because I don’t want to go home and lay sick in bed …. I keep going and [at] night I go dancing and my system starts to get clarity … Dude … this has been going on for a month and if someone has this you’re not alone !!!”

Following her return to Instagram, fans immediately started speculating about whether she is expecting again, with one user writing, “She’s pregnant again.” “Awwww baby on the way.” “Morning sickness my dear,” echoed another fan.

More Spears fans were reacting to her tweet about pregnancy on Twitter.

She has confirmed that she wants to conceive again

The celebrity’s message about being sick for a month caused Twitter to go wild. “Britney girl…your nausea has lasted for a month and the only other time you felt like this was when you were pregnant???? who’s gonna tell her?” asked one fan. “I think it’s time to get a pregnancy test PLS,” someone else tweeted.

The rumor mill was still in operation, with another individual adding, “Girls Britney is pregnant. Throwing up every morning for a month…. And she even said herself she’s never felt like this except when pregnant….”

Although she enjoyed her first title, Spears is still determined to have another kid. As the whole world heard during her conservatorship hearing as she tried to terminate it, Spears, who is a mother of two adolescent sons, wants to conceive another child. “I want to be able to get married and have a baby. I was told right now in the conservatorship, I’m not able to get married or have a baby. I have an IUD inside of myself right now so I don’t get pregnant,” the pop star testified. “I wanted to take the IUD out so I could start trying to have another baby. But this so-called team won’t let me go to the doctor to take it out because they don’t want me to have any more children,” she said (via Billboard).
