Nick Jonas on Broadway
@LifeofaRockstar

If you are heading to New York, make sure you catch the huge sensation on Broadway starring Nick Jonas, “How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying”

About the show:
“Now, in its second smash year, Broadway’s musical comedy hit welcomes a bright new star—music sensation and Broadway alum, NICK JONAS (Les Misérables, Beauty and the Beast, Annie Get Your Gun)! You’ll delight to his riotous rise up the corporate ladder as he struggles to juggle the promotion, the corner office and—of course—the girl.

Joining him are Emmy Award® winner BEAU BRIDGES, (Brothers and Sisters, The Fabulous Baker Boys), MICHAEL URIE (Ugly Betty), TAMMY BLANCHARD (Life with Judy Garland) and ROSE HEMINGWAY in this charming production that The New Yorker calls “a first-rate, high-stepping musical! This show is luminous!”

Along with Beau Bridges, Nick Jonas knocks it out of the park with his performance. Catch a clip on youtube:


Make sure you hang around after the show to grab a photo and an autograph from Nick!

@LifeofaRockstar

Black Sabbath Headlines Lollapalooza in Chicago August 3rd-5th
Via Rolling Stone: “Joining Sabbath on the Lolla lineup is a cavalcade of color-named bands, including the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Jack White and the Black Keys. Rounding out the bill are the reunited At the Drive-In, Florence and the Machine, Miike Snow, Bloc Party, Franz Ferdinand, Delta Spirit, Metric, Gaslight Anthem, Sigur Rós, the Shins, Kaskade, Bassnectar, J. Cole, Childish Gambino, and another big reunion in the Afghan Whigs. As of now, the Whigs' Lolla gig is their first U.S. reunion show; the band is slated for an already-announced apperance at All Tomorrow's Parties in New Jersey this September. (All other announced gigs are in Europe.)”

Highlights of Lollapalooza over the years:

Over 20 years ago, Jane’s Addiction front man Perry Farrell launched Lollapalooza--the travelling show--in 1991. Along with Jane’s Addiction, Nine Inch Nails, Siouxsie & The Banshees, Living Colour, Ice-T, Butthole Surfers and the Rollins Band played. Alternative music was just gaining momentum back then and Lollapalooza gave it a forum.

In 1992, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Soundgarden, Ice Cube, and Pearl Jam headlined bringing the concert serious attention.

In 1993, Rage Against the Machine protested naked for fourteen minutes against the parents music resource. Arrested Development and Alice in Chains played.

In 1994, headliner band Nirvana pulled out and Kurt Cobain was found dead the next day. The Smashing Pumpkins, Beastie Boys and Greenday played.

1995 saw Sonic Youth, Hole, Cypress Hill, Sinead O’Conner and Beck.

1996 was headlined by Metallica taking the show a new direction.

Electronica came through Lollapalooza in 1997 along with ambient techno, big beat, trip-hop, rock and rap. Snoop Dog, Tool and Korn headlined.

From 1998 to 2002 Lollapalooza sat dormant on haitus. There was no traveling show in those years. It came back in 2003 with Janes Addiction, Audioslave and Incubus, but was cancelled due to low ticket sales again in 2004.

By 2005 the decision was made to make the show a one location stop in Grant Park, Chicago. M83, Liz Phair, Cake, Billy Idol, The Killers, The Black Keys, and Weezer were among the bands to headline. In 2005, the concert began occurring annually only at Grant Park--no longer a traveling show--calling Chicago its’ permanent new home.

In 2006, the Red Hot Chili Peppers were back and Kanye West lit up the show. Death Cab for Cutie and The Flaming Lips also headlined.

Lady Gaga was at the bottom of the daytime line-up in 2007.
