Chicago rapper Juice WRLD  has announced dates for his A Death Race For Love Tour, in support of his upcoming sophomore studio album of the same name, due out March 8.

His massive headline tour begins on April 25 in Vancouver, B.C. and heads to the American West Coast with stops in Portland, Washington and Seattle, and at two iconic California venues: San Francisco's Bill Graham Civic Auditorium on April 30 and Los Angeles' Greek Theater on May 2. Rappers from his Lyrical Lemonade squad plus collaborator Ski Mask The Slump God will offer support for all show dates. 

The packed tour schedule will stop in pretty much every major U.S. city, including two nights in New York City at the Hammerstein Ballroom on May 20-21, along with a trip back up to Canada for a show in Toronto on May 25. The rapper will close out the tour in Dallas on June 8. 

Before embarking on the headline tour, Juice WRLD will be finishing up a handful more of European show dates in February and March as support for GRAMMY-nominee Nicki Minaj on her Nicki Wrld Tour. He'll also be playing a number of big festivals this year including Coachella in April, Bonnaroo in June and iHeartRadio Fest in September, who announced yesterday that the young rapper will headline their day stage.

A Death Race For Love is due out less than a year since he dropped his full-length debut Goodbye & Good Riddance in May 2018. The debut included his breakout hit single, "Lucid Dreams," which showcases his downtempo flow and lovelorn lyrics, aka "emo-rap." He also put out a mixtape last year, WRLD on Drugs, with GRAMMY-winner Future.

Juice WRLD and Ski Mask The Slump are also planning on releasing a joint project, Evil Twins, in 2019. The 20-year-old's latest release is the single "Robbery," dropped on Feb. 14.

Complete tour dates and ticket info is available on Juice WRLD's website. Tickets go on sale Fri. Feb 22 at 10:00 AM local time.

Today, the iconic '90s punk group Bikini Kill announced a 14-date 2020 world tour, kicking off where the band was founded, in Olympia, Wash. on March 13. This first show, at Capitol Theater, is a special one, as it will benefit local female- and LGBTQ- focused homeless shelter, Interfaith Works.

The 2020 tour will also bring the iconic Riot Grrrls to U.S. cities, including Seattle, Portland, Ore, Philadelphia and Boston during the months March and May. Internationally, they'll touch down in Victoria, B.C., Montreal and Oslo. The Norway date, which will take place at Øya Festival on Aug. 12, is currently slated to be the final show of the jaunt.

The 2020 tour follows Bikini Kill's reunion at the beginning of the year, which led to four sold-out shows total in New York and Los Angeles from punk queens Kathleen Hanna, Tobi Vail, Kathi Wilcox and Erica Dawn Lyle. They also played their first-ever festival headline set, at 15th anniversary Riot Fest in Chicago in September.

The "Rebel Girl" group also recently reissued two of their classic albums on vinyl and CD, Pussy Whipped and Reject All American, from 1993 and 1996, respectively. Both have been out of print for seven years, and proceeds the release of their entire musical catalog on streaming services (Apple Music, TIDAL and Spotify) last fall.

Tickets for their 2020 tour go on sale this Fri., Nov. 8 at 9 a.m. PT/12 p.m. ET, with a fan presale beginning 24 hours earlier. A presale code will be sent out via the Bikini Kill newsletter, which you can sign up for on their homepage.

Today, GRAMMY winner Ringo Starr revealed details for a 2020 tour with his All Starr Band. The former Beatles drummer kicks off the 20-show trek on May 29 in Rama, Ontario, for two nights at the Casino Rama, followed by three nights at the historic Beacon Theatre in New York City, on June 2, 3 and 5.

After the Big Apple, Starr and his All Starrs will play in Bangor, Maine, Boston and Gilford, N.H., on June 9, 10 and 11, respectively. Those three nights will feature GRAMMY-nominated folk greats The Avett Brothers as support. Former All Starr Edgar Winter will also open a few shows, helping close things out at the third-to-last and final shows; at St. Augustine, Fla., on June 26 and Clearwater, Fla., on June 28.

The 2020 tour follows shortly after the release of the iconic drummer's 20th solo studio album, What's My Name, which he dropped on Oct. 25. The same update on his website adds the album was recorded and produced in his home studio and features many of his lifelong musical friends, including Winter, Hay and Lukather, as well as fellow Beatle Paul McCartney, among others.

This past weekend, on Nov. 2, Starr unveiled a shiny symbol of his life-long mantra of "Peace & Love" to live in Los Angeles County: an eight feet statute of a hand, in a peace sign, of course. The art piece he created and donated is now available for all to visit at the Beverly Hills Garden Park. He also celebrated the 50th anniversary of "Peace, Love & Music," a.k.a. Woodstock, with a special performance at the legendary festival's original home in Bethel Woods, N.Y.

Ticket on-sale dates for the 2020 tour have not been announced yet, but will likely be shared on Starr's website in the near future; click here for the complete tour dates.

Watch: It's Always Halloween For Daft Punk, KISS, CeeLo Green, Bootsy Collins & The Blue Man Group

Happy Halloween! Check out this epic reel of some of the most Oct. 31st-ready looks from across the years at the GRAMMYs

Today may officially be Halloween, but the artists in the below video prove you can rock your spookiest and most outlandish outfits anywhere, including on the GRAMMY and Latin GRAMMYs red carpet and stage. If you're still in need of a last-minute Halloween costume, this video will provide plenty of inspiration.

In the video you'll spot Lady Gaga's famous golden egg, which she was carried in across the 53rd GRAMMY Awards red carpet, giving birth to a fabulous "Born This Way" performance later that evening. You'll also find Sia rocking one of her iconic giant face-obscuring wigs and Daft Punk and the Blue Man Group (at the 2012 Latin GRAMMYs) just being themselves as they walk the carpet. 

KISS, Daft Punk & CeeLo Green: GRAMMYs' Fun 'Fits

There are so many electric and eccentric looks packed into the one-minute video, so let's review a few more. The chrome and gold versions of the elusive French electronic duo's helmets were the ones they looked sleek in on the carpet at the 56th GRAMMY Awards in 2014. Evidently, being a robot is probably harder than we think, and they later changed into white helmets and suits for their funk-filled performance with Stevie Wonder, Nile Rogers and Pharrell Williams. This dynamic crew later took home Album Of The Year and Best Dance/Electronica Album, among other wins, for Random Access Memories.

Near the end of this video, you'll find Williams donning his infamous sky-high tan hat with a red Adidas track jacket, his GRAMMY look that year. In this reel, you'll also see CeeLo Green being CeeLo, on stage in a Carnival-meets-Knights-at-the-Roundtable ensemble during his performance of "Forget You" at the 53rd GRAMMY Awards, which also featured the Muppets and Gwyneth Paltrow.

The one and only Madonna channels a matador and Marie Antoinette at the 57th GRAMMYs, while Kanye West and Jamie Foxx suit up for the marching band during their performance of Ye's GRAMMY-winning hit "Gold Digger" at the 48th GRAMMY Awards in 2006. You'll also see funk legend Bootsy Collins posing with metal guitar slayer—and KFC bucket wearing—Buckethead, as well as fellow mask-concealing hard rockers Slipknot, who pose with their gramophones for Best Metal Performance in 2006. Finally, it would be sacrilegious on this day to not pay tribute to Nicki Minaj serving up Little Red Riding Hood couture in her 2012 Versace gown, alongside a Pope look-alike.

Happy Halloween!

The vibey quartet's most recent prior release was their 2018 Lover Chanting EP. Earlier this year, they were featured on Flying Lotus' "Spontaneous." The band's last full-length album was 2017's Season High, which followed their GRAMMY-nominated Nabuma Rubberband, released in 2014.
