History-making British rapper Central Cee has announced a mammoth 39-date world tour for 2025.

Produced by Live Nation, the outing kicks off on 1 April in Norway at Oslo’s Spektrum Arena making stops at renowned venues in Europe and North America before wrapping up on 2 July in Perth, Australia.

The Can’t Rush Greatness tour comes hot on the heels of his long-awaited debut album of the same name.

The project has already been hailed as having the biggest streaming day of all-time for a UK rapper, globally. This achievement comes on top of three Brit Award nominations for Best UK Artist, Best Song for “Band4Band” and “Best Hip Hop & Grime,” and a cinematic black and white visual for the album track “Limitless”.

The West London native previously made history as the first-ever British rapper to reach over one billion Spotify streams in a single year.

The Can’t Rush Greatness tour comes hot on the heels of his long-awaited debut album of the same name

Central Cee (born Oakley Neil Caesar-Su) released his first tracks in 2014, following them up with a long series of EPs and singles over the following years.

He released his first full mixtape, Wild West, in 2021, which was the top-selling British debut project of the year.

His 2022 single Doja has racked up more than 450 million streams on Spotify alone and debuted at No. 2 on the official UK charts, while his 23 mixtape debuted at No. 1 on the country’s albums chart.

2023’s Sprinter, a collaboration with fellow English rapper Dave, debuted at No.1 on the UK singles chart with over 13 million streams in just one week, the most for any UK rap single in history. The track remained at No.1 for 10 consecutive weeks, making it the longest-running No.1 rap single in UK chart history.

Central Cee is represented worldwide by Wasserman Music agents Brent Smith, Lauren Marker, Tom Schroeder and Jesse Fayne.

Linkin Park have returned with new members, a new album and a world tour, seven years after they pressed pause following the death of singer Chester Bennington.

The US rock band yesterday (5 September) held a live stream concert showcasing new co-vocalist Emily Armstrong (the veteran leader of power-rock outfit Dead Sara) and drummer Colin Brittain (Sueco, All Time Low). Brittain replaces founding member and drummer Rob Bourdon, who has left the band.

The new recruits join returning members Mike Shinoda (co-vocalist), Brad Delson (guitar), Dave Farrell aka Phoenix (bass) and Joe Hahn (DJ) in Linkin Park’s new lineup.

The livestream event was broadcast at London’s Shoreditch High Street Station and New York’s Times Square. Fans who were invited to attend were made to sign a waiver beforehand to ensure that the details weren’t shared until the event kicked off.

Linkin Park also announced a new album From Zero (due 15 November), which is their first record since 2017’s One More Light – the last to feature Bennington. The album is previewed by one single, The Emptiness Machine, which is on streaming platforms now.

“Linkin Park is one of the biggest touring rock bands of our time”

The six-piece will showcase the new album on a world tour consisting of six arena shows between September and November this year.

The Live Nation-produced tour will kick off on 11 September at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles and conclude exactly two months later at Coliseo Medplus in Bogota.

Other stops include Barclays Center in New York (US), Barclays Arena in Hamburg (DE), The O2 in London (UK) and Inspire Arena in Seoul (KR). American singer-songwriter Grandson will support the band on various dates.

One of the biggest rock groups of the 21st century, Linkin Park has grossed over $120 million during their career, according to Billboard Boxscore.

“Linkin Park is one of the biggest touring rock bands of our time,” John Marx, partner and agent at WME, which the band quietly joined earlier this year, told the publication. “The excitement their fans will have, being able to see and celebrate them after seven years, will be massive.”

Linkin Park are not the first band to continue after the death of their lead singer. Other notable acts to do so include The Doors (Jim Morrison), Queen (Freddie Mercury), AC/DC (Bon Scott), Stone Temple Pilots (Scott Weiland), Lynyrd Skynyrd (Ronnie Van Zant), Alice in Chains (Layne Staley), INXS (Michael Hutchence) and Thin Lizzy (Phil Lynott).

American rapper Kid Cudi has cancelled his Insano: Engage the Rage World Tour after breaking his foot during a last-minute Coachella performance on Sunday (21 April).

During his set at the Goldenvoice-promoted festival’s Sahara Tent, the 40-year-old singer jumped off the front of the stage, breaking one of his heel bones and cutting his set short. He joined the lineup two days before the second weekend kicked off on 19 April.

The recovery time for a severe calcaneus fracture can be up to two years, according to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, with those with labour-intensive jobs “unable to return to their job” post-injury.

“We have to cancel the tour so I can focus on getting better to be out there in top shape with you all,” he wrote on social media. “There’s just no way I can bounce back in time to give 100%. The injury is much more serious than I thought.”

Cudi (real name Scott Ramon Seguro Mescudi) underwent surgery for the broken bone today (25 April), telling fans on X that he was “feelin’ good”. Most surgery patients need to wait three months post-surgery before putting weight onto the foot, with walking aids likely during the healing process, per the AAOS.

“I’ll make it up to you and be back better than ever very soon”

The AEG-promoted tour was set to begin on 28 June at Texas’s Moody Center (15,000), with stops at New York City’s Madison Square Garden (19,500), Toronto’s Scotiabank Arena (19,800), and Seattle’s Climate Pledge Arena (18,300), before wrapping up the North American leg at Los Angeles’s Crypto.com Arena (20,000) at the end of August.

The European leg was due to start next February at Oslo’s Spektrum Arena (10,300) and set to end at London’s O2 Arena (20,000) on 18 March 2025.

Rapper Pusha T was due to support the 43-date tour, alongside rapper-actor Jaden and hip-hop duo EARTHGANG. Ticketholders will be notified and refunded, and new tour dates will be announced as soon as possible.

German singer Kim Petras has also cancelled forthcoming festival dates because of “health issues”. The Grammy-award-winning pop star was set to appear at Barcelona’s Primavera Sound, London’s Mighty Hoopla, Porto’s Primavera, and Seattle’s Capitol Hill Block Party this summer.

“I’ll make it up to you and be back better than ever very soon,” she wrote on social media.

Petras concluded her Feed the Beast World Tour in March, her third headlining venture, which kicked off last August in California. She played venues across the US, Canada, Brazil, and Europe before closing it out at Milan’s Fabrique (3,100).

Italian rock band Måneskin have announced their biggest live run to date, the 2023 RUSH! World Tour.

The mammoth trek will see the group headline arenas in North America, South America, Japan and Europe, in addition to their first ever shows in Australia.

Måneskin embarked on their first headline tour of North America last year, selling 100,00 tickets across 25 shows, and will return to headline arenas across the US and Canada, including a landmark show at New York’s Madison Square Garden on 21 September.

The Rome quartet are also heading back to South America, where they will debut in Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Colombia, and will also headline arenas in Japan for the first time.

Måneskin will see play to more than 500,000 fans on their ongoing LOUD KIDS World Tour 

The RUSH! World Tour will follow on from Måneskin’s ongoing LOUD KIDS World Tour, which will see them play to more than 500,000 fans. The run has over 20 sold-out European shows still to come, plus festival slots at Glastonbury and Primavera Sound.

The band, who performed to 70,000 fans at Rome’s Circus Maximus in 2022, have already sold more than 220,000 tickets for five special stadium shows in their native Italy in July. Their full list of 2023 tour dates is below.
