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.

Tour time, Are you ready? Presale starts tonight and tickets will go fast. To get your unique pre-sale code and beat the bots, head to https://t.co/7XtARREjFc and get any item on the site starting as low as $12.99 see you soon pic.twitter.com/aQSgoYJUu9

— Juice WRLD 9 9 9 (@JuiceWorlddd) February 21, 2019

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.

While many of us were recovering from a Thanksgiving carb-fest by shopping "huge deals" online in our stretchiest pants, Stormzy revealed his plans for world domination with his 55-date Heavy Is The Head – The World Tour 2020. The British rap king's big trek runs from Feb. 10 with dates across the globe until Oct. 10 and is in support of his forthcoming sophomore album, Heavy Is The Head, due out Dec. 13.

— HEAVY IS THE HEAD (@stormzy) November 29, 2019

The world tour's first two legs has Stormzy trekking through Europe and Asia in February and March, kicking things off in Brussels on Feb. 10 and closing March out in Seoul on the 29th. The "Vossi Bop" artist will then bring the heat to New Zealand, Australia and North America in May and June, including dates in Oakland, Calif., Los Angeles, Toronto, Brooklyn, N.Y. and Chicago on May 26, May 27, June 2, June 4 and June 9, respectively. The last U.S. date is set for June 13 in Dallas.

After a short tour break, the U.K. grime heavy-hitter will start things up again on Sep. 3 in London, with dates across his native U.K. and Ireland for the rest of the month. Finally, the H.I.T.H. World Tour will wrap up with four dates in Africa, including a stop in Accra, Ghana (his mother hails from Ghana) on Oct. 9 and a final show in Lagos, Nigeria on Oct. 10.

Visit stormzy.com for complete tour dates, along with info on how to sign up for the pre-sale. Pre-orders of Heavy Is The Head and merch bundles from his online store come with pre-sale access codes.

Ahead of the album's forthcoming release, Stormzy has dropped the singles "Vossi Bop," "Crown," "Wiley Flow" and, most recently, "Own It," featuring Burna Boy and Ed Sheeran. He was also featured on Sheeran's "Take Me Back To London," from the currently GRAMMY-nominated, collab-heavy No.6 Collaborations Project.

As noted by Pitchfork, last week, in addition to the tour announcement, the rapper shared a message with his fellow Brits, encouraging them to vote and revealing his support for Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn. His stand against conservatism saw a spike in voter registration in the country and a regrettable response from a leading Conservative MP Michael Gove.

This summer, during his headline set at the iconic Glastonbury festival, Stormzy wore a Banksy-designed bulletproof vest emblazoned with the Union Jack flag and stab marks, as a statement on the chaotic state of the union in his home country. While The Guardian and others celebrated the emblematic fashion choice—which was on display in Bansky's "Gross Domestic Product" installation and is featured on the H.I.T.C. album art—Gove found offense in its powerful statement.

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!

New music Friday is always a good day, especially when your favorite artist drops a hot new bop you can't stop playing.

Well, K-pop heartthrobs BTS are always ones to warm their fans' hearts, and today they did just that, with a smooth new song, "All Night," featuring rising Chicago rapper Juice WRLD. The song features just RM and Suga of BTS, two of the group's rappers, and was produced by RM and Powers Pleasant.

The new single is the third release from the band's forthcoming BTS World Soundtrack, the musical accompaniment to their new mobile game of the same name. Both the soundtrack and game, where you can play the role of young Jin, V, Jungkook, Jimin, J-Hope, Suga and RM's manager, back when they formed the fab 7 squad, are due out next week. The game will be available to download in the U.S. on June 25 and the soundtrack drops June 28.

"All Night" marks the third week of releases for BTS, following last week's Mura Masa-produced summer-ready jam, "A Brand New Day," led by J-Hope and V, along with Swedish pop songstress Zara Larsson. The group tapped British alt-pop queen Charli XCX for the first BTS World song, the anthemic "Dream Glow," released June 7.

BTS have had a big year so far, taking over their first GRAMMYs, being named one of the "100 most influential people" by Time, channeling the Beatles on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, launching a crowd-sourced database dedicated to their fans, continually breaking records, and more.
