Concerts and Tours

Gunna got duped into performing at an X Games concert by shady concert promoters who lured him to Colorado with promises of a huge payday that never came ... this according to a new lawsuit.

In the suit, obtained by TMZ, Gunna's touring company claims it agreed to have the rapper perform at an X Games event in Aspen back in January ... and signed a contract guaranteeing him $500,000 the night of the gig.

The company claims the agreement called for an additional $250,000 payment if he didn't get the $500K by the first deadline ... but it claims Gunna hasn't seen a dime and has been getting the runaround ... despite the fact Gunna did his part and performed at the X Games event. And there are even more concerns about the promoters ...

Jennifer Lopez almost landed on her "Booty" during her Las Vegas residency ... just barely catching herself after slipping onstage.

The singer-songwriter took the stage at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace for her "Jennifer Lopez: The JLo Show Live" Friday night ... when she was ironically belting out "On The Floor" -- which she almost ended up on herself.

Check out the clip -- posted to social media by reporter John Pascarella -- during a quick turn onstage, J Lo momentarily loses her footing.

Looks like the people at Live Nation -- the company that owns Ticketmaster -- aren’t just taking all your money … they’re also laughing at you while they do it.

Two LN employees were caught bragging about hiking up fees in a series of Slack messages, according to newly released court docs from the company’s federal antitrust trial.

In one exchange, then-regional ticketing directors Ben Baker and Jeff Weinhold were gloating about spiking parking fees … joking about charging “$50 to park in the grass” and “$60 for closer grass.”

Martin Short and Steve Martin are set to resume their popular two-man show ... after taking a hiatus following the tragic death of Katherine Short.

A source with knowledge tells TMZ ... the comedy icons will do their scheduled April 11 show at the Johnny Mercer Theatre in Savannah, Georgia.

This is a major update ... because the tour was paused after Short's daughter died on February 23. Multiple shows scheduled in March were rescheduled for September.

Kanye West -- who now goes by Ye -- is coming back to Los Angeles.

In his first live performance since his Mexico City shows in January -- and his first live Los Angeles show since 2021 -- Ye will be hitting the stage at SoFi Stadium April 3.

Promotional art for the new concerts show Ye's wife Bianca Censori is back ... while the rapper dons a Jason Voorhees mask.

Remember, the last time Ye rocked a live crowd in L.A., he did it alongside Drake at the Free Larry Hoover benefit concert, which was livestreamed on Prime Video.

Cardi B's "Little Miss Drama" show in Houston Wednesday night had quite the dramatic guest list -- including Nicki Minaj's younger sister and Stefon Diggs' mom!

That's right ... the mother of Cardi B's baby daddy, Stephanie, was there groovin' to her show despite Cardi and Stefon calling it quits last month. Technically, they're all still family ... 'cause Stephanie is the grandmother of Cardi and Stefon's baby boy they welcomed last November.

Adding to the drama, Nicki's half-sister Ming Luanli seemed to have a blast at the show as well and even defended her appearance on social media, saying she's not picking sides in the Nicki-Cardi beef because none of it will matter in the future.

Barry Manilow is rushing back to the stage after undergoing surgery for lung cancer but he says his doctor is advising him to reschedule his first batch of scheduled arena shows.

The singer posted the health update on Friday and said he's just not able to make it through a 90-minute concert at this time ... and is rescheduling all his shows scheduled between Feb. 27 and March 17.

Barry went under the knife a little over a month ago, and he says he's been running on the treadmill three times a day. He says he can sing only three songs before needing to stop.

Your move Jimi Hendrix! Cardi B went to a place no guitarist has gone before ... when she played with her privates like she was shredding a solo during a concert over the weekend.

It's unclear if she intended it to look like she was playing air guitar on her crotch -- maybe she was just really enjoying the music -- but the crowd went nuts!

Watch the video ... while a guitar solo blasts in the background, Cardi goes to town on herself in front of the screaming sold-out crowd.

The "B" in Cardi B might stand for "bruise" after she took a serious tumble off a chair during her "Little Miss Drama" tour in Las Vegas Friday night.

Check out the clip -- the "I Like It" singer is in the middle of showing off some sexy moves while performing her "Thotiana" remix when the chair slips out from under her, sending her slamming onto the ground on her behind. The pro she is, Cardi doesn't miss a beat and continues performing while thrusting her hips high into the air.

She doesn't fully ignore the blunder, though -- she cracks a joke, blaming the government! Remember, just a few days ago, she dissed ICE at her opening show -- and the feds clapped back by shading her stripping past.

Cardi B was NOT the drama on the opening night of her new tour ... but her fans were!

A parking lot brawl broke out after the show, which ended with an innocent bystander's car getting a hot dog splattered on it.

You gotta see this video ... it's completely unclear why these women were fighting, but it's also totally irrelevant. What's important is, in the middle of the tussle, someone drops a fully-loaded hot dog on the hood of a pristine white car.

Hilary Duff's going professionally globetrotting for the first time in nearly two decades ... embarking on her first global world tour since 2008!

The actress and singer shared a fun announcement clip to her Instagram Thursday morning ... tearing through her closet looking for outfits to wear as she plays venues all over the world.

The presale and general sale for tickets begins next week ... but, fans can already scope out where they want to see the talent -- her tour begins June 22 in West Palm Beach, Florida.

Cardi B is pulling no punches when it comes to ICE ... telling fans they’d better be ready to throw down if agents pop up at her shows.

The rapper didn't mince words Wednesday during the opening night of her "Little Miss Drama Tour" in Palm Desert, California. At one point, she climbed onto an elevated platform while singing “La Cucaracha" ... then scanned the crowd and asked if there were any Guatemalans or Mexicans in the audience.

Moments later, she fired off her warning ... "Bitch, If ICE comes in here, we gon’ jump they asses,” drawing booming cheers from the crowd.

Bad news for some Lovatics ... Demi Lovato just pulled the plug on a whopping five dates from her "It’s Not That Deep" tour.

In a lengthy IG Stories post Tuesday, Demi revealed she’s also pushing back the tour kickoff -- moving it from April 8 in Charlotte, NC to April 13 in Orlando, FL -- saying the call is all about protecting her health.

Demi explained once rehearsals got underway, it became clear she’d overextended herself. Bottom line: she needs more time to "rest and rehearse" so she can actually make it through the entire run.

The Seattle Seahawks didn't just hoist the Lombardi Trophy -- they capped their Super Bowl victory with a private T-Pain and Ludacris show.

TMZ Sports obtained exclusive footage of the newly crowned champs keeping the celebration rolling after their dominant 29-13 win over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LX ... turning their after-party into a full-blown concert.

We're told T-Pain, Ludacris, and DJ Infamous performed for players, coaches, and fans staying at the team hotel -- delivering a high-energy set as Seattle soaked in its second title in franchise history.

If you thought Hilary Duff's "Small Rooms, Big Nerves" tour just wasn't long enough, you're in luck ... because she just teased a world tour!

The former Disney Channel star dropped the hint about her future plans halfway through her show in Los Angeles on Thursday night in a seriously creative way ... by having three people wear shirts reading "World Tour Loading..."

They spun around on her mark and showed off the message to the rest of the crowd ... who went completely wild!

Granted, the "Small Rooms, Big Nerves" tour ain't over yet, though ... Hilary's still got six dates in Las Vegas -- three in February, three in May -- planned out.

Still, Hilary shared a photo of the shirt reveal on Instagram and wrote there was "more to come" in her post's caption ... which was about as subtle as a brick.

Hilary's tour wasn't her only big project of 2026 -- she's got her first album in 11 years, "Luck... or Something," set for release next month.

Ariana Grande got to work getting tickets into the hands of her real fans after she got fed up over insanely high prices for her tour tickets.

Sources connected to Ariana tell TMZ ... her team worked with Live Nation to correct the secondary sellers.

Ariana took to social media to say she was "bothered" by her 'Eternal Sunshine' tour selling out within minutes, only for scalpers to try and resell the tickets at jacked-up prices.
