About Post Malone

Post Malone stirs a mix of genres into his own sonic sound that’s both intoxicating and invigorating. His RIAA 3x Platinum certified debut album, Stoney, led the genre-bending Dallas, TX artist to his first Top 10 Billboard 200 and first #1 R&B/Hip-Hop Album while being the “#1 Debut Hip-Hop Artist of 2016”. 2019 has been packed with one milestone and achievement after another for Post Malone. “Congratulations” has been certified Diamond by the RIAA. According to Nielsen Music, his second full-length, Beerbongs & Bentleys, emerges on the Mid-Year Top 10 Albums (Based on Overall Equivalent Album Units) and he earns two entries on the Mid-Year Top 10 Selling Digital Songs, namely “Sunflower (Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse)” with Swae Lee at #3 and “wow.” at #6. “Sunflower” also lands at #2 among the Top 10 On-Demand Song Streams (Audio and Video Combined) and Mid-Year Top 10 On-Demand Audo Streams as “wow” sits at #7 on both charts.

About Swae Lee

Swae Lee has made a name for himself outside of Southern hip-hop duo Rae Sremmurd, and is a force to be reckoned with both within and beyond the hip hop world. Tracks such as French Montana’s “Unforgettable” show off his singing chops and his impressive list of writing credits includes the hook to Beyoncé’s “Formation.” For Rae Sremmurd’s  upcoming project, Swae and Jxmmi will present a 3 part album consisting of a duo side of the album and parts with each of the brothers exclusively and allowing for more Swae melodies to take shape. The first Swae track released off the album, “Hurt to Look”, continues the energetic production that Swae is known for, but shows off a tender, moodier side to Swae’s singing. The much more serious, emotional ballad has that characteristic Swae hook, but implements a more groovy and comparably chilled backdrop. It’s a song to “make you feel some kind of way,” as Swae describes it while explaining that each track is a whole feeling, often mellow and “easy on the ears.” Above all, however, Swae insists that the music is meant to be “feel good” and both embodies and advocates for a positive life outlook. Swae’s goals for his music as universal and far-reaching—with projected listeners ranging from doctors to lawyers to kids and “whatever lifestyle you live,” as Swae puts it—but entirely unique to what is popular and being produced today are not far off. The album proposes to position Swae as a heavy weight, unpredictable musician producing serious music that still has the enjoyable, turn up element that Rae Sremmurd is known for. And that is exactly what Swae’s music fulfills: a serendipitous unpredictability that is only predictable in the sense that Swae, with all his Gemini-crooning selves, always delivers.

About Tyla Yaweh

A new kind of Rockstar, Tyla Yaweh defies everything, even genre. He seamlessly merges R&B, hip-hop, and pop without apology. As a result, he has quietly become a phenomenon. Beyond racking up over 100 million-plus cumulative streams globally  and landing on the cover of coveted Spotify playlists like Signed XOXO, the Orlando-born and Los Angeles-based 24 year old disruptor has performed alongside everyone from Post Malone to Jaden Smith and Saint JHN and collaborated with the likes of French  Montana, Ski Mask The Slump God, Juice WRLD, and more. Not to mention, he received acclaim from ComplexHypebeast, Billboard, Pigeons and PlanesWonderlandHotNewHipHop, and more. He continues to make a name for himself on the road, having recently given rousing performances at the likes of Governor’s Ball, Firefly, Bonnaroo and more, with Lollapalooza, Reading and Leeds, Life is Beautiful and more set for later  this summer. Breaking rules and boundaries all at once, he’s primed to explode in 2019 with the aptly titled project, Heart Full Of Rage.

The album also achieved a milestone unrivaled in the digital era, becoming the first album in which every individual song on the album certified Gold, Platinum or multi-Platinum by the RIAA. 

BLURRYFACEspawned a series of hit singles, beginning with the 2x RIAA platinum certified “Tear In My Heart” and followed by the #1 sensations, “Ride” (5x platinum certified) and the 7x platinum certified, GRAMMY® Award-winning “Stressed Out.” The latter track – which reached #2 on Billboard’s “Hot 100” – spent three months at #1 at Modern Rock while also topping the charts at CHR/Top 40 and Hot AC. “Stressed Out” was a worldwide breakthrough for Twenty One Pilots, earning gold, platinum, and multi-platinum certifications in countries spanning Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.

Scholarships Awarded to Diverse Group of Exceptional College Students Pursuing Music Industry Careers Including First Recipient of David E. Ballard Scholarship for Former Homeless and Foster Youth

Live Nation, the world’s leading live entertainment company, in partnership with the nonprofit House of Blues Music Forward Foundation, today announced the recipients of its 2019 scholarship programs. Four outstanding college students pursuing music industry careers will be awarded a total of $40,000 in scholarships, including the first recipient of the David E. Ballard Scholarship, established this year for former homeless and foster youth, in partnership with the Living Legacy Foundation. 

This year’s diverse group of gifted scholarship recipients, who will each receive $10,000, were selected based on academic performance, leadership skills and a passionate commitment to the live entertainment experience and include an audio production major who was born while his mother was incarcerated; a fearless Latinx feminist from Bogota, Colombia, who produces singles at her school’s student-run record label; a Berklee College of Music student who serves as a house manager at the Boston Lyric Opera; and a student who leads the marketing for Georgia State University’s annual spring concert. 

“Live Nation is distinctively positioned to offer the next generation of music industry leaders professional and educational support through these scholarship programs,” said Mark Campana, Chief Operating Officer, Live Nation U.S. Concerts. “We are committed to promoting diversity and inclusivity within the music industry and proudly support these dedicated and talented students as they pursue their career goals.” 

“In partnership with Live Nation Concerts and the Living Legacy Foundation, Music Forward’s annual scholarship programs offer students, who display an exemplary commitment to their fields of study within the music industry, assistance while pursuing their educational and professional goals,” said Nurit Siegel Smith, executive director of the House of Blues Music Forward Foundation. “We are thrilled to acknowledge these outstanding students with our 2019 scholarship awards.” 

Learn more about our 2019 scholarship recipients:

Christian King – David E. Ballard Scholarship
Christian King, a 27-year-old from Inglewood, California, is the first-ever recipient of the David E. Ballard Scholarship funded by the Living Legacy Foundation. This scholarship supports youth who have experienced homelessness and/or been part of the foster care system and are interested in pursuing a career in live entertainment. King was born while his mother was incarcerated and was in foster care for much of his life. During his tumultuous childhood, King says “music was my escape, my outlet, my form of communication, my passion and my truth.” 

He maintains a 4.0 GPA at the Los Angeles Film School while working toward a Bachelor of Arts in audio production and is also a recording artist and music producer. King, a father of two, stands out—according to his professors—for his dedication to the field of music, leadership skills and innovative artistic work. 

“This scholarship is a blessing,” said King. “It has been very hard being a full-time student trying to make ends meet. It gives me hope that if I continue to work hard, good things are coming. Part of why I’m finishing my BA in audio production is because I want to provide a stable and secure income for my family. This scholarship gives me a way to better manage my living expenses with the ability to focus on my education. I am forever grateful for this scholarship and want to finish strong and put this to good use for a better and brighter future.” 

Juliana Castrillon – Tiffany Green Operator Scholarship
According to a recent study conducted by USC’s Annenberg Inclusion Initiative, just 2% of music producers in the U.S. are women, the Tiffany Green Operator Scholarship was established by Live Nation to support women pursuing careers in live entertainment. This year’s recipient is 20-year-old Juliana Castrillon, who hails from Bogota, Colombia, and is a student at The College of Saint Rose working toward a Bachelor of Science with a music industry concentration. 

Castrillon is a talented recording engineer, music producer, live event manager, visionary thinker and leader among her peers, according to her professors. She is on the executive board of her college’s student-run Rose Record Label and a member of the BOLD Women’s Leadership Network, a program that cultivates courageous leadership in young women during college years and beyond.

“This scholarship strives to support women in an industry that is mostly male-dominated,” said  Castrillon. “That is why I am extremely honored and eager to utilize this support toward my education in order to help both my own career as well as other women pursuing careers in the music industry. I am highly motivated to innovate in the engineering and production areas of the industry as well as in the legal sector. I want to give back to the Hispanic community by getting a law degree to coach other Latinas who are not familiar with the industry.” 

Nico Ruggieri – the Steven J. Finkel Service Excellence Scholarship
Nico Ruggieri, 21, a student at Berklee College of Music majoring in music business and management, from Boardman, Ohio, is this year’s recipient of the Steven J. Finkel Service Excellence Scholarship. The scholarship was established to support the ever-growing customer service expectations of fans, artists and employees within the live entertainment industry. 

Already brimming with new ideas on how to enhance customer experience, Ruggieri has impressed his professors with his passion for music, interpersonal and leadership skills, talent as an emcee, business savvy, and strong desire to make positive change for students and audiences alike. Ruggieri is a student ambassador and recruiter in the Office of Admissions at Berklee College and has served as a house manager at the Berklee Performance Center and the Boston Lyric Opera. 

“Receiving this scholarship while entering my senior year at Berklee serves as the pinnacle of my achievements,” said Ruggieri. “I plan to continue my diligent work by being one of the first students to complete all three major paths in music business—management, marketing and entrepreneurship—by May 2020. The generosity of Live Nation and the Music Forward Foundation will propel me through my senior year with great inspiration and gratitude. I am blessed and honored to be acknowledged with this award.”

Tamesha Harvey – U.S. Concerts Scholarship
Tamesha Harvey, 21, a student at Georgia State University pursuing a Bachelor of Science with a concentration in music management, from Dothan, Alabama, is the recipient of the 2019 Live Nation U.S. Concerts Scholarship. This scholarship supports students pursuing careers in the five core areas of Live Nation’s business: concert and venue promotion, sponsorship and advertising, ticketing, e-commerce, and artist management. 

In addition to her studies at GSU, Harvey is a venue operations intern for a local concert promoter, an ambassador for a startup record label, and marketing leader for her college’s annual spring concert. As part of two campus organizations focused on live entertainment and business administration, she has managed student body events and aided in talent acquisition. 

“My long-term goals in the entertainment industry are to manage artists for events and on tour,” said Harvey. “I have learned that it takes time, dedication and perseverance to see results in one’s work and for that, I, as a first-generation college student, know that I must continue to set myself up for success. Learning and applying my education in music business has allowed me to take on paradigms outside of my world and view different perspectives through a new lens so that I can precisely interpret and execute clients’ visions. Producing live entertainment is a high-pressure industry that requires resilience, flexibility and a keen sense of detail, all characteristics I continue to exercise in my education and work.”

About selection process:
Scholarship selections were made by an influential panel of Live Nation executives and thought leaders across academic, entertainment, civic and corporate sectors. Reviewers included leading experts from companies and organizations across the country including SAG-AFTRA, Loeb & Loeb LLP, Emerson Bran Management, OAKSway Entertainment LLC, The Williams Group, Los Angeles College of Music, Spiegelworld Entertainment, Keller Williams Group, Illumivation Studios and the American Heart Association.

Today Ticketmaster announced that it has resolved proceedings brought by the Commissioner of Competition in Canada.

Last July, Ticketmaster was the first ticket company to voluntarily ensure total prices were displayed upfront to Canadian consumers.  We look forward to the Competition Bureau and individual provinces ensuring that all other ticket marketplaces in the live event industry meet the same standards.

Ticketmaster is committed to leading the industry in consumer safety and transparency and has also adopted best practices to protect Canadian live entertainment consumers that include:

1.  Clearly disclosing if tickets are being sold at the original face value or are being resold at prices that may be above or below face value    

2.  Banning the practice of listing tickets for sale at inflated prices before they are even purchased, a practice known as “ticket speculation” 

3.  Clearly identifying if we are the official primary ticket marketplace for an event and, if we are not, identifying which marketplace is

Ticketmaster welcomes new consumer protection legislation across Canada to improve transparency, fight cheater bots that steal tickets, and reduce fraud in the secondary sales market and will continue to actively participate in federal and provincial conversations to create the safest ticketing environment for fans and event owners alike.

Communiqué
Ticketmaster :
Communiqué de Ticketmaster sur la clôture de l’enquête du Bureau de la concurrence

Ticketmaster a annoncé aujourd’hui la résolution des poursuites intentées par le Commissaire à la concurrence au Canada.

En juillet dernier, Ticketmaster a été, de façon proactive, la première entreprise à s’assurer que le prix total des billets soit affiché dès le départ pour les consommateurs canadiens. Nous attendons avec impatience que le Bureau de la concurrence ainsi que les provinces veillent à ce que tous les autres intervenants de l’industrie répondent aux mêmes standards.

Ticketmaster est déterminée à prendre les devants dans l’industrie en matière de sécurité et de transparence pour les consommateurs. L’entreprise a également adopté les meilleures pratiques afin de protéger les consommateurs canadiens qui achètent des billets:

1. Communiquer clairement si les billets sont vendus à leur valeur nominale d’origine ou s’ils sont revendus à des prix supérieurs ou inférieurs à celle-ci

2. Interdire la pratique connue sous le nom d’« affichage spéculatif » qui consiste à afficher des billets à prix gonflés avant même que le vendeur n’ait fait l’acquisition préalable de ces billets

3. Identifier clairement si Ticketmaster est la billetterie officielle d’un événement, et dans le cas contraire indiquer quelle est cette autre plateforme

Ticketmaster se réjouit de l’adoption d’une nouvelle législation sur la protection des consommateurs au Canada visant à améliorer la transparence, à lutter contre les tricheurs qui s’approprient des billets et à réduire la fraude sur le marché secondaire. L’entreprise poursuivra sa participation active aux discussions fédérales et provinciales afin de créer un environnement plus sécuritaire pour les fans et les propriétaires de contenu.

Live Nation Signs on as Strategic Partner to Bring First-Class Entertainment to New Venue

Arena to Host Biggest Names in Entertainment With Future Aspirations of Serving as the Home of NHL Seattle Affiliate Club for the AHL

PALM SPRINGS, Calif., June 26, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — The Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians, a federally recognized Indian Tribe, and Oak View Group (OVG), the global venue development, advisory, and investment company for the sports and live entertainment industries, today announced its partnership to build a new state-of-the-art privately financed sports and entertainment arena on Agua Caliente land in downtown Palm Springs.

Live Nation Entertainment, the world’s leading live entertainment company, has signed on as a strategic partner to supply the new arena with its large stable of top touring artists and premium live events. Additionally, NHL Seattle, led by owner David Bonderman, and OVG have jointly submitted an application for the 32nd AHL Franchise expansion team, which, if awarded, would play in the new arena in Palm Springs for the fall of 2021.

Located on 16 acres of tribal land, the arena will be more than 300,000 square feet and feature as many as 10,000 seats or more and include modern amenities such as suites and premium hospitality clubs. The arena will include an adjoining facility that will serve as a year-round community gathering space as well as the training center for an AHL team.

"This is a unique partnership that will forever change the face of sports and entertainment in Palm Springs and the Coachella Valley," Tribal Chairman Jeff L. Grubbe says. "We are creating a healthy community gathering place for Coachella Valley families and visitors from around the world to celebrate, play and experience diverse entertainment opportunities in a state-of-the-art arena."

This project adds to the excitement already being generated by the ongoing construction of the Tribe’s Agua Caliente Cultural Center in downtown Palm Springs, which features a new state-of-the-art museum and world-class spa opening in 2020.  Add to that the future construction of the Tribe’s third casino in nearby Cathedral City expected to break ground in the near future.

The arena will be built for conventions, large meetings, international events, as well as award shows and exhibitions. Privately funded at no risk to the City of Palm Springs or taxpayers, the news comes as OVG is in the midst of a building boom. In the past 24 months, OVG has announced the development of venues in Seattle, Belmont Park in Elmont New York, the University of Texas in Austin, the new Winter Olympic 2026 venue in Milan, and now Palm Springs.

Construction of the new arena in Palm Springs is expected to create thousands of permanent and temporary jobs for the community. Groundbreaking and construction are scheduled for February 2020. The arena is expected to open by fall 2021 in coordination with the Seattle NHL franchise for the 2021-2022 AHL season. Oak View Group is currently leading and financing a $900 million-plus project at Seattle’s KeyArena that, when completed in 2021, will be home to Seattle’s NHL team.

"With each venue, we’ve had the privilege of building and managing, Oak View Group has consistently continued to raise the industry standard, and the arena in Palm Springs will be no exception," said Tim Leiweke, CEO of Oak View Group. "We look forward to working with Agua Caliente to build what we consider to be one of the most premiere music and professional sports arenas in the world."

"The new arena in downtown Palm Springs is a terrific project. If we are successful with our application for an AHL Franchise, it would represent an exciting opportunity to bring the first professional hockey team to this region," said Tod Leiweke, CEO of NHL Seattle. "We are confident that the market is ready to embrace a winter sports team and that the community will help us achieve the minimum level of season tickets and premium sales we need."

"We’re pleased to be able to partner with Oak View Group and Agua Caliente for this new state-of-the-art arena and look forward to bringing in top touring artists and live events to the valley for years to come," said Bob Roux, President, US Concerts, Live Nation Entertainment.

With a focus on the prioritization of technology, sustainability, and green initiatives, the world-class arena will be built for music and host the best and biggest names in the music industry on an annual basis, as well as serve as a home for artists to rehearse before the start of their respective tours.
