Posted in Concert, JAY-Z on the July 29, 2009
With the announcement of the Beastie Boys taking a bit of a break to allow for member Adam Yauch to receive treatment for a cancerous tumor in his salivary gland, it leaves their upcoming engagements with no headliner. Fear not though as rapper Jay-Z was recently announced to be replacing the band at All Points West Music & Arts Festival in New Jersey. The event will actually mark Jay-Z’s music festival debut. He better do amazing. He’s taking the place of the Beastie Boys after all. Those are some big shoes to fill, no doubt. I wonder if Jay-Z will have any guests join him on stage.
Posted in Concert, Kelly Clarkson, Leona Lewis, Miley Cyrus Hannah Montana, VH1 on the July 29, 2009
The legendary live concert event, VH1 Divas, is returning after a four-year hiatus and will feature some of today’s big voices including the likes of Adele, Kelly Clarkson, Leona Lewis and Miley Cyrus. I get the first three singers but what the heck is Miley doing on that list? The show’s producer said “Adele, Kelly, Leona and Miley have all captured the world’s attention with their talent and have earned their designation as VH1 Divas this year. Don’t let some of their young ages fool you - these women are among the best entertainers in the world and will continue to thrill music fans for a long time to come.” The VH1 Divas concert will air at 9PM ET/PT on September 17 on VH1.
