Chicago’s Mamby on the Beach music festival returns with another impressive lineup of hip hop, EDM, and rock acts. Getting Common, Spoon, and Cold War Kids all in the same weekend is impressive. Grizzly Bear will probably put on a mind-bending set, Jamila Woods impressed a lot of folks at Pitchfork Music Festival last year, and Jai Wolf‘s DJ set will most likely be a must-see.
Tickets are on sale now.
Keep your mind open.

Smashing Pumpkins have had a countdown clock on their website for days now, and it finally ended to reveal a 34-city not-quite-a-reunion tour for 2018. It’s not a full reunion because front man Billy Corgan and original bassist D’arcy Wretzky have been involved in a public feud via social media regarding Wretzky not being asked to join the tour.
Regardless, Corgan and guitarist James Iha and drummer Jimmy Chamberlin are soon criss-crossing the U.S. on the “Shiny and Oh So Bright Tour.” Tickets go on sale February 23rd, and I suggest not waiting too long to get them. I’m sure many venues will sell out fast.

L7, as usual, aren’t screwing around. Case in point, their new single, “I Came Back to Bitch.” This will soon be your new favorite song and is already sure to be one of my top ten singles of 2018.
They’ve also announced some spring U.S. tour dates. Don’t miss them. They were great when I saw them in Chicago a couple years ago. They haven’t lost an inch.

The latest additions to the lineup for Levitation Austin have been announced, and (no surprise) they’ve added more great acts. Ty Segall and Thee Oh Sees adding second shows is great news for fans who couldn’t make one or the other. Count me in for Segall’s Friday show, especially since Ron Gallo will also be playing the same night and location. Other additions that caught my eye are No Joy, True Widow, Pow!, L.A. Witch, Jjuujjuu, and Holy Wave.
It’s quickly getting to the point where set times will be announced and sacrifices will have to be made to determine which shows we can make. Plus, tickets will go even faster once set times are determined. Don’t wait much longer to get your tickets.
Keep your mind open.
