Concerts and Tours

One of Mario's fans may have taken "Let Me Love You" way too literally during a recent show ... reaching in and rubbing his crotch mid-performance -- and the R&B star clearly wasn't having it.

The incident reportedly went down Saturday during Mario’s tour stop in Detroit at the Masonic Jack White Theatre ... and in a now-viral clip, he's seen passionately serenading the crowd, inching toward the edge of the stage when a front-row fan suddenly slides their hand right onto his crotch.

The fan lingers for a moment -- fully cupping his private area -- until Mario shoos them off and appears to gently scold them.

Rolling Loud Australia is officially roaring back Down Under for the first time since 2019 with some heavy hitters -- like Gunna, Ken Carson, Sexyy Red -- leading the charge!!!

Sydney’s Centennial Park is first up to bat on Saturday, March 7, and Melbourne’s Flemington Racecourse shuts everything down on Sunday, March 8.

Veteran rapper Talib Kweli was involved in a hellfire-heated exchange with security guards backstage at his Black Star concert last Saturday -- and TMZ Hip Hop has the explosive exchange all on tape!!!

The scene opens with Kweli barking at the top of his lungs at a group of men behind the curtain, demanding they tell him "Who the f*** they think they are!!!"

According to the sounds of the argument, Kweli was royally pissed off that security guards had walked onto the stage 1 minute past the 11PM curfew to stop the show, and was upping the bass in his voice towards anyone who tried to calm him down!!!

KISS took the stage for the first time since Ace Frehley's untimely death Friday ... and the legendary guitarist was sorely missed.

Paul Stanley said, "We certainly had differences but that's what family is about."

Yungblud is pumping the brakes on the rest of his 2025 tour ... announcing he's canceling all remaining shows after doctors flagged concerning results in his blood and vocal tests.

The British rocker broke the news on his Instagram Stories Saturday ... revealing he went in for routine testing after getting home from the road, but the results "raised some concerns." He didn't reveal specifics, but said the issues were significant enough that his doctors insist he stop touring immediately.

"I'm so sorry to do this," he wrote ... telling fans his upcoming shows in Philadelphia, Cleveland, Washington, Mexico City, and across Latin America are officially canceled. Refunds are already being issued, and he even shared a link for fans to sign up for a special gift as a thank you for their support.

The Jonas Brothers were starstruck on "The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon" Thursday ... no, it wasn't a celeb who had their jaws on the floor -- it was the man whose résumé was being examined in the crowd at their show!

Here's the deal ... a video started blowing up on TikTok earlier this week when someone filmed a concertgoer reviewing Scott's CV at the JoBros show.

Several celebs -- including Nick Jonas and even Paddington Bear's official TikTok -- commented on the video, praising Scott ... and Jimmy Fallon surprised the brothers with him on the show.

Cardi B's wasting no time getting ready for her upcoming tour ... just days after having her fourth child, TMZ's exclusive video shows she's already back working on her fitness!

We got the clip of her Thursday morning in a New Jersey gym, rocking just a sports bra and leggings as she went through a workout sesh ... you can see she wasn't shy about showing her midsection. The whole scene made us think Cardi might have had the baby, and now that she's confirmed the birth, it all makes sense.

Eyewitnesses tell us she hit the gym with a couple trainers, and -- other than taking short breaks -- she was intensely focused on exercising.

Cardi B is out and about, and her trip to a New Jersey gym has us wondering ... is there a new baby boy in her life?

In the short video -- shot Thursday in Tenafly, NJ -- Cardi's engrossed on her phone while sitting on a bench. Eyewitnesses tell us she was taking a break from her workout.

Interestingly .... she was wearing a sports bra and leggings ... not hiding her midsection.

We're told she hit the gym with two trainers -- one lady and one dude -- and she was in grind mode.

Brandy and Monica took full advantage of the Hollywood access lanes during their 2nd L.A. stop for their "Boy Is Mine" tour ... rolling out the red carpet for O.T. Genasis, Mario, Blxst, and the one and only LL Cool J!!!

The festivities went down inside the KIA Forum, and TMZ Hip Hop obtained plenty of video ... O.T. popped out to perform his hit record "Cut It" while LL had the crowd "Doin It" wild.

Mario showed the crowd in real time why he's confident in critiquing his fellow singers with a slam-dunk rendition of his billion-streamer "Let Me Love You" ... and Blxst repped hard his and Brandy's World Series-winning hometown, ripping through his double-platinum classic "Chosen."

Oh, celebs ... they're just like us! The Jonas Brothers revealed a secret to maintaining their close relationship that will probably sound familiar to anyone with a sibling ... they pick on each other.

The Jo Bros. were interviewed by Super Bowl LII winner Jason Kelce on "Good Morning America" Monday. Seeing as how Jason works with his own famous brother, Travis Kelce, he was curious how Kevin, Joe, and Nick handle the countless tours they've done together.

According to Joe, "It's just a healthy amount of bullying."

Travis Scott gave a crowd in Tokyo "goosebumps" last night ... bringing out Kanye West and Stormi Webster to rock the stage in front of thousands of screaming fans.

The rapper took over Tokorozawa’s Belluna Dome -- a massive stadium in the Saitama prefecture -- Saturday night in the country ... when Kanye pulled off his mask, revealing his face to the crowd.

A fair few cheers course through the crowd before Travis and Kanye start bouncing around the stage in the video ... bringing the energy to the packed audience.

Another day, another fan who doesn’t know boundaries ... this time, one shameless concertgoer took things way too far by reaching up to grab Halsey’s butt -- mid-performance!

As you can see, Halsey was performing "Is There Somewhere" in Washington, D.C., earlier this week when the unidentified fan in the crowd reached dangerously close to her thigh ... then brazenly slid a hand under her leather skirt, copping a quick feel in front of everyone.

The disturbing up-close clip -- shot from right behind the creep -- shows a gloved hand, presumably security, finally stepping in to swat away the paw ... but TBH, it takes way too long to happen.

The much-talked-about *NSYNC biopic never got off the ground ... 'cause TMZ has learned the guys just weren't sold on the pitch or the producer behind it.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... the project never even made it to the screenwriter stage. The idea was brought to the band by Justin Timberlake's manager after "Fast & Furious" producer Neal H. Moritz started shopping it around, but the band's collective teams were unified that Neal might not be the right fit for this project.

Our sources say the guys, along with their teams, had a group conversation about the potential film and agreed they should explore meetings with other producers in addition to Neal. We're told that would only happen if the band decided to embark on the much-wanted reunion tour ... something Justin wasn't ready to commit to.

New Edition is celebrating their newly minted hometown street sign in a major way ... through "The New Edition Way" Tour ... boosted by Boyz II Men and Toni Braxton!!!

Ronnie, Bobby, Ricky, Mike, Ralph and Johnny made the grand announcement Friday with a virtual tour visualizer ... with Mike, who was Boyz II Men's first manager, Facetiming the legendary trio before everyone deciding Toni would be the perfect queen for the 30-city tour.

"The New Edition Way" Tour was put together by Black Promoters Collective, and has a combined 150-million-plus records sold ... which includes the NE and Bell Biv DeVoe hits.

Gigi Hadid got cuffed by none other than Sabrina Carpenter ... and let’s just say, the pop star was burning up over the supermodel.

Check out the clip -- Sabrina had her sights set on Gigi during her "Short n' Sweet" tour in Pittsburgh Thursday evening, playfully asking the model in the crowd where she's from ... and when Gigi said Bucks County, Sabrina fired back with a flirty, "Wow, maybe we're soulmates!"

Sabrina confessed she was "hot and flustered" over Gigi before slapping her with some furry pink handcuffs ... bold doesn’t even cover it!

Brandy says a medical incident drove her offstage in Chicago Saturday night ... revealing a sudden wave of dehydration threatened to make her faint.

The singer-songwriter explained her sudden departure from her United Center show in an Instagram post Sunday morning ... telling her fans that -- after weeks of nonstop rehearsals -- she experienced feelings of dehydration during the show.

Brandy says she did return to the stage after initially leaving it ... but adds she couldn't connect to the tunes sonically -- and acknowledges it wasn't her best show by any stretch of imagination.
