Tyler creates massive tour

The second leg of the North American tour includes Heritage Bank Center in Cincinnati on June 27, Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in Cleveland on June 28, United Center in Chicago on June 30, and Little Caesars Arena in Detroit on July 3.
Honeywell Academy on road
Three Indiana organizations have teamed up to create a new artistic endeavor.
Starting this month, The Columbia Club in Indianapolis will host the Honeywell Arts Academy’s Emerging Artist Series, designed to provide the future generation of musicians the opportunity to learn from one another, push boundaries, and connect with local and industry communities, with world-renowned faculty to propel their artistry forward and springboard their careers.
The series of three unique and expansive concert experiences, each featuring a 60-minute live cabaret-style performance of a new up-and-coming artist, will take place on Nov. 20, Feb. 13, and March 6 at Columbia Club.
The series is curated by Ranaan Meyer, the Grammy- and Emmy-winning double bassist of Time for Three and founder and artistic director of Honeywell Arts Academy.
Ghost reappear in States
Halloween may be over, but it is still not safe to go out at night since Ghost are planning a worldwide haunting in 2025.
While the Swedish rock band are a lot more bark than bite, they do know how to write some catchy songs and will unleash them on the city of Cleveland on July 17 at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse, followed by Little Caesars Arena in Detroit on July 24, Van Andel Arena in Grand Rapids on July 28, and Allstate Arena in Chicago on Aug. 1.
Ballerini sets arena tour
Kelsea Ballerini has unveiled dates that find the country singer headlining her first full arena tour.
The trek kicks off at Van Andel Arena in Grand Rapids on Jan. 21, followed by United Center in Chicago on Jan. 23, Schottenstein Center in Columbus, Ohio, on Feb. 1, and Little Caesars Arena in Detroit on Feb. 4.
The tour comes in support of her new album, Patterns.
“From the jump, I’ve always wanted to play arenas, and I think it’s because when I was a kid, the first concert I ever saw was Britney Spears at Thompson-Boling Arena,” Ballerini told Pollstar. “Having that magical moment, in that size room, and seeing all the production was my dream.”
