Concerts and Tours

Noah Kahan has A #1 rule for #2s at his stadium tour ... if nature calls, head for the restroom, don't leave a stool sample at your seat.

The singer took to X after a viral video appeared to show alleged feces left near seats following his concert Friday night at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia, the opening stop of his "The Great Divide" tour.

Trying to make light of the crappy situation, Kahan admitted "I've pooped my pants as much as the next 29 year old."

Ariana Grande wrote some songs about Ricky ... and now he's at her show!

That's right -- the pop star's ex Ricky Alvarez attended her "Eternal Sunshine" tour Friday night in Austin, Texas ... after we told you they still hang out as friends. Check out the pic -- he looks thrilled to be supporting her from the floor for her birthday show.

Ariana turned 33 on Friday, and her backup dancers took the opportunity to surprise her with a cake on stage last night.

Lionel Richie was rushed to a hospital after falling ill onstage Wednesday night in the middle of his concert ... TMZ has learned.

Richie cut his performance short at the Grand Casino Arena in St. Paul, Minnesota after saying he felt "dizzy" and "strange" ... so much so, he actually took a seat on one of the stage platforms while singing "Dancing on the Ceiling."

It's a high-energy moment in Lionel's setlist, and not one he'd normally sit through.

Sources connected to Richie tell us paramedics met him backstage, and he was taken by ambulance to a hospital ... but we're also told it was a precautionary measure. We're still trying to find out his current condition.

A$AP Rocky had some 'F***in' Problems' with his crowd Tuesday ... telling them he would want to get freaky between the sheets with some of them -- before he got tied down.

The rapper played in Phoenix earlier this week on his "Don't Be Dumb" tour ... seemingly overcome by the energy in the building and looking back on his days as a player.

He said, "Thank god y’all didn’t know me when I was single ‘cause I would have f***ed the s*** out of you if you was pretty."

Lionel Richie had a rough night onstage, cutting short his Minnesota concert after falling ill onstage in front of a packed crowd.

The legendary singer was performing "Dancing on the Ceiling" at Grand Casino Arena in St. Paul on Wednesday night, when he started feeling dizzy and was forced to sit down.

Videos posted on social media show Richie belting out the song as he walks around the stage before parking his butt on a platform. 

Bailey Zimmerman is speaking out over the criminal charges he's facing in New Mexico for allegedly destroying his hotel room.

The country star shared a public apology with TMZ on Tuesday to both the Pueblo of Sandia and his fans, who missed out on a concert after his New Mexico performance was canceled due to Bailey's belligerent behavior during a sound check, which ultimately led to his removal from Sandia Resort & Casino.

Bailey says, "First things first, I want to apologize to the Pueblo of Sandia and to everyone at Sandia Resort & Casino. I never meant for any of this to come across as disrespectful. I am deeply sorry for my actions that transpired. I respect your community and the hospitality and appreciate the opportunity that was given to me to perform on Native Land. I take full accountability for everything that happened and I am sorry to anyone who feels hurt or disrespected."

It sounds like it's going down in Jessica Simpson's DMs ... she says she welcomes direct messages from her admirers ... but there's one big string attached.

We got Jessica at LAX Monday ... and our photog asked her if she's open to people sliding into her DMs.

The short answer -- yes.

It seems like some people have already made a move ... but if they were lacking in one area, they didn't get far.

Jennifer Lopez kept things cool Saturday night while attending Ariana Grande's "Eternal Sunshine" concert in L.A. ... but even a low-key night out didn’t stop fans from spotting her among the crowd.

TMZ obtained video of JLo inside the crowd, fully in vibe mode as she enjoyed the show from her V.I.P. seat. However JLo wasn’t drawing attention to herself -- no big entrance, no theatrics -- just blending in and taking in the performance like everyone else.

At moments in the clip, she appears relaxed and engaged with the music, keeping her profile low while still clearly enjoying the set. But of course, once a star of her caliber is in the building, it doesn’t take long before nearby fans start doing double-takes.

Rod Stewart had a rough show in Utah last night ... doubling over in discomfort during the set -- and needing puffs from an oxygen tank onstage.

The singer-songwriter hit the stage at Utah First Credit Union Amphitheatre in West Valley City, UT last night ... and he wasn't moving around the stage as much as usual.

Check out the video, obtained by TMZ ... Stewart's supporting himself on musical instruments, barriers and even a pole at the side of the stage.

Ariana Grande's concert on her "Eternal Sunshine" tour is bringing out tons of winners ... because a couple of "Victorious" cast members came out to show their love for the star.

The pop star rocked the Kia Forum in Inglewood, California Wednesday night ... and standing in the VIP section were a pair of her former costars on the hit Nickelodeon show ... Elizabeth Gillies and Matt Bennett.

Check out the clip ... the Hollywood Arts High alumni are rocking out to one of Ariana's tracks ... belting out the lyrics along with their longtime pal.

Post Malone got emotional remembering Oliver Tree ... dedicating his concert to the late musician after a fatal helicopter crash ... and pouring out some beer for a fallen friend.

Posty took a moment during his Tuesday show in Toronto to honor his late pal, speaking directly to the crowd about Oliver's impact before pouring out some Bud Light.

It was a heartfelt tribute, with Post praising Oliver's art, heart, and soul before addressing him directly ... saying he wanted Oliver to know just how loved he was.

Machine Gun Kelly's Tuesday night concert in Michigan was a washout due to bad weather -- and it ultimately got canceled halfway through his performance!  

The singer hit the stage at the outdoor Pine Knob Music Theatre near Detroit -- and cranked out about 4 songs before the rain and thunder rolled in.

We're told security ushered MGK off stage for his own safety and told the packed crowd to shelter in place under the amphitheater's large overhang or in their cars parked nearby.

Singer Jelly Roll isn't letting his split from Bunnie XO mess with his money ... and he took the stage in Canada for his tour with Post Malone -- only a day after his divorce went public.

Jelly took the stage in Toronto at Rogers Stadium on Tuesday night.

The tour was initially scheduled to start on May 13, but was pushed back because Post claimed he needed extra time to finish new music. Jelly and Post are scheduled to perform shows until October.

Need a timeline cleanser? We've got just the thing ... because "Wicked" star Cesily Collette Taylor was spotted at an Ariana Grande concert ... and she looked like she was having the absolute time of her life!

Check out this adorable clip ... Cesily, who plays Young Nessarose in the hit movie musical, couldn't contain her excitement as Ariana belted out "Break Free" ... waving her hands in the air and soaking up every second of the performance.

Honestly, it's enough to melt even the coldest heart. The video was shared on social media with the caption, "@arianagrande the part you made us all break free!!!! What a dream!!!!"

Ariana Grande does have tears left to cry after all ... and she let them out onstage during her tour.

The pop star was about to perform "Hampstead" at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles Sunday night when she got so overwhelmed by her fans' support she broke down in tears before introducing the song.

Wiping away tears, Ariana explained feeling overwhelmed "in the most beautiful way ever."

Kim Kardashian turned a night at Ariana Grande’s "Eternal Sunshine" concert into a viral moment ... showing up to support her ex-boyfriend's ex-fiancée.

The SKIMS founder was seen in the audience alongside former 'American Horror Story' co-star Emma Roberts, with the pair blending into the crowd as Ariana took the stage for a packed performance.

Despite the attempt to keep things low-key, fans quickly noticed Kim, who was also seen alongside Ari's mom Joan, in the venue and began sharing clips online showing her vibing at the show.
