Concerts and Tours

Food poisoning 1, Rosalía zero ... the singer tried to soldier on through a concert in Milan on Wednesday, but a horrible stomach illness made her throw in the towel.

Despite vomiting backstage, the "Con Altura" singer stood heroically in front of fans at Italy's Unipol Forum, revealing she was battling "severe food poisoning."

She said, "I really want to give the best show, and I'm basically on the floor trying my best. I can try to continue, but at some point I might have to stop. I'm extremely sick, and I'm really trying. I'll push as much as I can, but if we have to stop, we might have to if I physically can’t continue. I'm in pain."

Nicki Minaj is being dragged to court for allegedly failing to reimburse a company that claims it fronted more than $275K to cover production and other costs for two concerts ... TMZ has learned.

According to court docs obtained by TMZ, a company named 24/7 Productions is suing Nicki and her company, Pink Friday Productions ... 24/7 said it first worked with Nicki on the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards, where it provided live entertainment production services.

In late 2023, the company says, Nicki asked them to help with her concerts at Jingle Ball and her album launch for "Pink Friday 2."

Jenna Dewan says she had wild, crazy, and insanely amazing times clubbing with Janet Jackson when she was barely legal.

In a guest appearance on the "Chicks in The Office" podcast, Jenna recalled her crazy club-hopping days as a backup dancer on Janet's world tour ... saying Janet would sneak her into clubs, because she was only 18 years old when the tour started.

As the youngest backup dancer by far -- the next youngest was at least 6 years older -- Jenna says she was "the baby" on tour and was thrust into an entirely different world than she was used to in college.

Even when arrested for a serious DWI charge ... Justin Timberlake was able to crack a joke with police -- namely, about his race!

Check out the body cam footage from the pop superstar's 2024 arrest in Sag Harbor, NY -- he acts confused that police labeled him as "white" when they handed him paperwork to review. He got some laughs when he told officers he was just playin' around.

The rest of the footage isn't a laughing matter -- you can see JT is shocked when he's told he must remain in his jail cell all night ... and totally disappointed -- even dropping his head -- when police confirm he's in custody for driving while intoxicated.

David Beckham's son Cruz didn't follow him into soccer ... but, it might be better that he's picking up music like Victoria -- because David says he crushed a recent rock show!

The former Manchester United star pulled up to Cruz's show in Paris ... arriving with a large entourage, though he seemed to duck his head to avoid making a scene.

DB posted up in the back and watched Cruz and co. crush a few songs ... before he was spotted by photogs leaving the joint. He stopped for a selfie with a fan and told the gathered group he thought Cruz's show was just "amazing."

Jay-Z is ready to run this town ... announcing Wednesday he'll be playing some massive shows in NYC this summer.

Roc Nation posted on X that the rap legend will be taking over Yankee Stadium for two nights at the end of July.

Jay's sets will celebrate some major milestones -- the 30th anniversary of his debut album "Reasonable Doubt" and the 25th anniversary of "The Blueprint."

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.
