Pitbull is gearing up for a 26-city Party After Dark Tour. The multi-genre, multi-platinum artist has sold more than 25 million albums and 100 million singles worldwide, to go along with billions of views on YouTube and billions more streams over the major platforms.
Most recently, he released his 12th studio album, Trackhouse, last year.
The set is billed to include some of those career-spanning hits that have earned him the nickname “Mr. Worldwide,” as well as some surprises.
Check him out Aug. 29 outside Cleveland at Blossom Music Center in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio; Aug. 30 at Credit Union 1 Amphitheatre in Chicago; Sept. 1 at Ruoff Music Center in Noblesville; Sept. 4 at Pine Knob Music Theatre outside Detroit; or Sept. 19 at Riverbend Music Center in Cincinnati.
T-Pain will open the shows.
Knocked Loose rock venues
Knocked Loose announced they will be headlining a fall tour after supporting on Slipknot’s run of dates.
Continuing to support their third studio album, You Won’t Go Before You’re Supposed To, the band will stop the Argon Ballroom in Chicago on Nov. 1, The Egyptian Room at Old National Centre in Indianapolis on Nov. 5, and 20 Monroe in Grand Rapids on Nov. 7.
Drain and Militarie Gun will open the shows in Chicago and Grand Rapids with Drain scheduled as the only opener in Indy.
Pete Rose slides into Lerner
While we mostly cover music-related events, it is notable that controversial former Major League Baseball player Pete Rose will appear at The Lerner Theatre in Elkhart on Saturday, Sept. 14.
The all-time leader in hits with 4,256, Rose was a switch hitter and part of three World Series Championship teams during his career. He also is the all-time leader in games played, singles and outs, and won two Gold Glove awards and Rookie of the Year.
During the event, Rose will recount stories from his career as well as share a few of the life lessons he has learned.
A VIP option to meet Rose is available as an add on to the regular admission.
Morrissey sets more dates
Former frontman for The Smiths Morrissey has confirmed dates for a 2024 North American tour taking place this fall.
The trek will take the English singer-songwriter to Murat Theatre at Old National Centre in Indianapolis on Nov. 22 and Genesee Theatre in the Chicago suburb of Waukegan, Illinois, on Nov. 23.
According to Morrissey’s longtime guitarist Jesse Tobias, this tour is going to be something particularly special for fans.
“There is currently something happening, a finesse and ferocity coming from Morrissey and the band that is unparalleled to anything I’ve seen in my tenure as Morrissey’s guitarist for over 21 years,” said Tobias in a press release for the tour.
Of course, any announcement of a Morrissey tour comes with some reservation as he has a history of not following through on plans. Morrissey has cancelled more than 300 shows during his career, including all nine previously scheduled 2024 dates.
However, if the shows materialize, they will undoubtedly be something you will want to see.
