The Museum at Bethel Woods Unveils 2025 Special Exhibit: How Bazaar: Arts, Crafts, & Camping at Woodstock

– Interactive installation explores the lesser-known elements of Woodstock’s historic site, from the festival’s marketplace to its revolutionary camping experience –

March 10, 2025 (BETHEL, NY) – The Museum at Bethel Woods, located on the historic site of the 1969 Woodstock Music and Art Fair, is excited to announce the opening of its 2025 Special Exhibit, How Bazaar: Arts, Crafts, & Camping at Woodstock. This exhibit explores two integral pieces of the Woodstock experience: the Bindy Bazaar marketplace and the festival’s pioneering approach to on-site camping. Drawing on over five years of extensive research, oral histories, and archaeological investigations, this exhibit invites visitors to explore the rich and often overlooked elements that contributed to Woodstock’s legacy.

Woodstock was one of the first major music festivals to offer on-site camping, allowing attendees to remain immersed in the experience without ever leaving the grounds. This communal atmosphere fostered a unique sense of togetherness that became central to Woodstock’s cultural significance. Vast stretches of farmland east and west of the festival site transformed into vibrant tent cities, providing festival-goers with a peaceful escape in nature as they enjoyed three days of peace, love, and music.

Another key feature of the festival was the Bindy Bazaar, a wooded marketplace that was meant to serve as the festival’s main entrance. Featuring winding trails and vendor booths nestled among the trees, the Bindy Bazaar was designed to bridge the gap between the real world and the festival experience. Attendees strolled through trails like Gentle Path, Groovy Way, and High Way, where artisans and vendors sold crafts, clothing, and handmade goods. Over the years, extensive research and preservation efforts have uncovered new insights into this area, leading to the restoration of the Bindy Bazaar trails and a deeper understanding of its role in the Woodstock story.

The launch of this exhibit coincides with a new era for Bethel Woods, as the historic site now offers camping opportunities for concert attendees, allowing modern visitors to experience the same landscape that welcomed 450,000 people during the iconic 1969 festival.

“This exhibition is the culmination of years of dedicated research, storytelling, and archaeological exploration to uncover a deeper understanding of the Woodstock experience and the nature of our historic site,” said Museum Director and Senior Curator, Dr. Neal V Hitch. “As we continue to activate and preserve new areas of the historic site, we are excited to offer visitors the opportunity to connect with the festival’s legacy in a meaningful way and see how its spirit still inspires us today.”

The exhibition will showcase a selection of artifacts collected over several years in preparation for this event. Many of these connections with donors were fostered through the Museum’s ongoing Oral History Initiative, which launched in 2020 and has since preserved over 1,000 stories.

Photographs captured by David Shelburne, and generously donated by his wife, Ellen Shelburne, will bring the Woodstock experience to life as large-scale murals of the Bindy Bazaar Woods and Best Road campgrounds. Ellen, who was interviewed for the Museum’s oral history project in 2023, returned to the festival site in 2024 for the first time to experience Bethel Woods’ new glamping offering and revisit her Woodstock memories—a journey that was highlighted in an AP article.

Camping equipment, sleeping bags, blankets, and clothing worn at the festival will come together to form a diorama of a festival campsite. Also featured are a camp stove and lantern donated by Carl and Wayne Kieper, who were interviewed by the Museum in 2023 and 2024. Their 2024 return to the site, where they saw Woodstock alumni Santana, was recently featured in a Toronto Sun article.

Kenneth Bray, a silversmith who had a booth at the festival in 1969 has recreated some of his iconic Woodstock designs for display. His jewelry will be for sale through the Museum Store.

Archaeological artifacts collected by the Museum during professional surveys of the site will also be displayed, showcasing the types of food items and cooking equipment that were brought to Woodstock by attendees prepared to camp.

How Bazaar: Arts, Crafts, & Camping at Woodstock will be open to the public from April 1 through December 31, 2025. Admission to the Special Exhibit is included with a ticket to The Museum at Bethel Woods or available separately for $5. Tickets are on sale now at www.BethelWoodsCenter.org.

Stay Where Music is the Destination
Campground at Bethel Woods Expands Booking Dates and Offerings
– Original site of Woodstock’s campsite now available beyond show days –

March 19, 2025 (BETHEL, NY) – A historical pillar of the American music scene, Bethel Woods Center for the Arts—a non-profit performance venue and original site of the 1969 Woodstock festival—is excited to announce that bookings for its second season of camping are officially open. Following an incredibly successful first season, the one-of-a-kind campground will now be open with new features and accommodations.

Bethel Woods is expanding its camping options beyond show nights. From May through October, guests can now enjoy a variety of camping experiences in the days surrounding concerts and festivals. This change comes after Bethel Woods surveyed first-season campers and found a strong demand for extended accommodations. The survey also highlighted that nine out of ten guests reported being very or extremely satisfied with their experience.

“Throughout our first season, we closely monitored the feedback from our guests and made the necessary changes to enhance their experience. Among their favorite perks of camping, guests told us they loved the freedom to skip post-concert traffic and unwind under the stars of our historic campground.” said Eric Frances, CEO, Bethel Woods Center for the Arts. “An original festival advertisement read, ‘walk around... without seeing a skyscraper or a traffic light,’ highlighting that the iconic weekend was about much more than just music; it was an escape from reality. We are thrilled to continue offering that sense of retreat today.”

The Campground offers two camping locations. Pavilion Camping features in-venue glamping and premier tent sites, steps away from the main stage; and Historic Camping, on the original 1969 camping sites, with spaces for RVs and cars—a legendary location with modern amenities. Guests will now be able to choose their exact campsite while booking, making it easier to stay next to friends. Other new amenities to the campground include a camp store and food service, additional picnic tables, fire pits, and community game areas, including a Woodstock historically-focused disc golf course. Plus, with Lake Superior State Park located just around the corner, the site is perfect for a day trip to the lake for boating and swimming.

“The Campground at Bethel Woods was a dream of ours for years, and seeing it come to life for the community has been surreal. We are excited to continue expanding and evolving the campground for years to come,” added Frances.

ABOUT DEF LEPPARD:

With more than 110 million albums sold worldwide and two prestigious Diamond Awards in the U.S., 2019 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame® inductees Def Leppard - Joe Elliott (vocals), Phil Collen (guitar), Rick Savage (bass), Vivian Campbell (guitar) and Rick Allen (drums) — continue to be one of the most important forces in rock music. Over the course of their career, the band has produced a series of classic ground-breaking albums that set the bar for generations of music fans and artists alike. The group’s spectacular live shows and arsenal of hits have become synonymous with their name, leading Def Leppard to be heralded as the world’s greatest live rock band. Def Leppard’s influential career includes numerous hit singles and ground-breaking multi-platinum albums, including two of the best-selling albums of all time, Pyromania and Hysteria, capturing the group’s legendary tracks such as “Rock of Ages”, Pour Some Sugar on Me” and “Foolin.” In January of 2018, Def Leppard debuted their full recording catalog worldwide via streaming and download platforms. As they did with the original release of their records, Def Leppard dominated the worldwide charts again, which found their albums charting in the iTunes Top 10 in more than 30 countries, including Hysteria at #3 in the US, and #5 in the UK (36 years after the album had charted at #1 in the Billboard charts). Def Leppard also had the #1, #2 and #3 records on the US catalog albums chart. The band have gone on to amass a staggering 5.5 billion streams since 2018, reaching a younger 18-44 demographic that now represents 58% of their fanbase. Additionally, the band have garnered an impressive 18 million followers across their social media platforms. In May 2022, Def Leppard released their critically and commercially acclaimed twelfth studio album Diamond Star Halos. The album debuted at #1 on the Apple and Amazon Music charts, scored a Top 10 debut on Billboard’s Top 200 Albums chart, marking the band’s eighth Top 10 album of their career, and garnered a #1 debut on Billboard’s Hard Rock chart. Globally, Diamond Star Halos notched numerous Top 10 chart entries including a Top 5 debut in the UK. Following this success, the band released their 13th studio album Drastic Symphonies with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in 2023. The album charted at #4 in the UK album charts – their highest UK chart entry in over 32 years—and spent an impressive 15 weeks at #1 on the Billboard Current Classical chart. In early 2023, the band scored a U.K. #1 Netflix film with their cameo in the acclaimed movie Bank Of Dave, and returned for the film’s highly anticipated sequel, Bank of Dave 2, released in January of this year. Following the close of their historic 2018 co-headline stadium and arena run in North America, Def Leppard sold more than 1,000,000 tickets, a massive feat in today’s touring world. Def Leppard & Mötley Crüe topped that number yet again with another sold out stadium run in 2022 & 2023 selling over 2.1 million tickets across the globe while performing in 27 countries and on five continents. As always, the group continues to push the boundaries with their electrifying live shows and filled stadiums across North America again with Journey this past summer on their Summer Stadium Tour. Most recently, the band teamed up with legendary guitarist Tom Morello for their single “Just Like 73”, which soared to #1 on the Mediabase Classic Rock chart.

BARENAKED LADIES ANNOUNCE LAST SUMMER ON EARTH 2025 TOUR

TORONTO ON. (February 10, 2025) — Today, MULTI-PLATINUM-selling Rock band Barenaked Ladies announce the return of their legendary Last Summer On Earth 2025 Tour. Kicking off in June, the 38-date headline run will bring the globally beloved band’s powerhouse live show to major venues across North America. As part of the tour’s stacked lineup, Guster and Sugar Ray are also joining as direct support in June and July respectively, and all dates will feature Alt-Rock heavy-hitters Fastball.

The public on-sale for the Last Summer On Earth 2025 Tour will begin this Friday, February 14 at 10 am local time — go here and see below for the full tour itinerary. VIP Silver packages for Barenaked Ladies will be available which include premium seats and merch packages. The Gold packages will also include pre-show soundcheck parties, a meet-and-greet and a photo opportunity with the band.

Barenaked Bytes, the official Barenaked Ladies app just relaunched their premium membership program. Fans who purchase the ‘GygaBytes’ membership will have first access to tickets and VIP packages on Tuesday, February 11 at 10 am local. There is also a ‘MegaBytes’ option, which is complimentary, and those tickets and VIP packages are available on Wednesday, February 12 at 10 am local time.

“This is going to be a fantastic last summer on earth,” says Ed Robertson of Barenaked Ladies. “A great night, chock-full of hits! We’ve got our old pals Guster out with us once again, the amazing Sugar Ray joining mid-summer, and our good friends Fastball on the whole tour. If we’re not coming to a city near you, then you should be coming to a city near us!”

Beginning on June 3 at Atlanta’s Cadence Bank Amphitheatre at Chastain Park, the eighth edition of the Last Summer On Earth 2025 Tour will include stops at famed venues like Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado, the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles, The Rooftop at Pier 17 in New York City, Chicago Theatre in Chicago and a hometown show at Budweiser Stage in Toronto, ON, and many more. With the tour finale taking place on August 2 at Pine Knob Music Theatre in Clarkston, MI, each show will find the eight-time JUNO winners tearing through a jam-packed setlist of all-time fan favorites and radio-dominating smash hits, including “One Week” which skyrocketed to #1 in the U.S., Top 20 singles like “Pinch Me,” and “If I Had $1,000,000,” and arguably one of their best known songs, “Big Bang Theory Theme.” The TV show is one of the top scripted comedy shows of all time and is still streamed in over 70 countries worldwide, more than a decade after its final episode aired.

Known for creating a near-magical connection with their audience, Barenaked Ladies founded the Last Summer On Earth Tour in 2012 — the same year the Mayan calendar predicted the end of the world. Thanks to their deep commitment to delivering an unforgettable live show, the two-time GRAMMY-nominated band have earned massive praise from the likes of Billboard (“Barenaked Ladies’ energy was contagious and set the stage for what would be a high-energy evening of sing-alongs and throwback hits”), Forbes (“[Barenaked Ladies are] known for a freestyle, go-where-the-music-takes-you approach in their live shows they tend to enjoy as much as the fans”), and The Atlanta Journal-Constitution (“The big hits still hit big”).

Barenaked Ladies is proud to continue to partner with REVERB for Last Summer On Earth 2025 to make the tour more sustainable. Since 2004, Barenaked Ladies has worked with REVERB to reduce the environmental impact of touring while also giving back to local communities across the U.S. and Canada.

With Alt-Rock mainstays Guster returning for the second time to the bill from June 3 to 28, and Pop hitmakers Sugar Ray as direct support from July 8 to August 2, and Fastball on all shows, the Last Summer On Earth 2025 Tour is sure to be a must-see from start to finish. Over the years, the Last Summer On Earth has previously included support from some of Barenaked Ladies’ most esteemed musical peers, including Cracker, Big Head Todd & the Monsters, Blues Traveler, Ben Folds Five, Violent Femmes, Colin Hay, OMD, Howard Jones, Better Than Ezra, KT Tunstall, Semisonic, Five for Fighting, and Del Amitri.

ABOUT BARENAKED LADIES:
Over the course of 37 years, the beloved quartet has sold over 15 MILLION records worldwide and built up an arsenal of hits such as “If I Had $1,000,000,” “One Week,” “Pinch Me,” and “The Big Bang Theory Theme.” Widely acknowledged as one of the best live acts on the planet, BNL has hosted a cruise, had their own Ben & Jerry’s ice cream flavor, and participated in the first-ever “space-to-earth musical collaboration” with astronaut Chris Hadfield. To date, BNL has amassed eight JUNO Awards, garnered two GRAMMY nominations, and was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame. BNL’s 18th studio album, In Flight was released in 2023 and features 14 brand-new studio recordings. It’s available everywhere you stream music.

ABOUT GUSTER:
Throughout their three-decade-long career, Guster has landed a series of hits on the Billboard charts, worked with luminaries like Steve Lillywhite and Richard Swift, launched their own music festival, and amassed an ardent fanbase partly on the strength of their relentless touring and deeply communal live show. But despite reaching a milestone few musical acts ever come close to attaining, Guster’s latest LP Ooh La La reveals a band fully in touch with the voracious creative energy that first fueled their music back when they got their start playing in dorm rooms at Tufts University. A major leap forward for Guster, Ooh La La ultimately matches that wide-eyed spirit with a newly heightened sense of confidence and commitment to the raw sincerity that’s made them so beloved.

GUSTER PRESS PHOTO

ABOUT SUGAR RAY:
Beyond sales of 10 MILLION records, four Top 10 songs, over a BILLION streams, and MILLIONS of tickets sold, Sugar Ray — co-founded by Mark McGrath (vocals) and Rodney Sheppard (lead guitar) — embody the endless summer of popular music and culture. How many artists still pack amphitheaters a whole generation removed from their genesis? How many acts can claim sharing the stage with The Rolling Stones, KISS, and Sex Pistols, collaborating with Run-DMC, and being interpolated by Post Malone? After 1994’s Lemonade & Brownies earned cult-classic status for its frenetic and unpredictable hybrid, the band returned with the double-platinum FLOORED in 1997 and soon became a household name thanks to its immortal lead single “Fly” (feat. Super Cat). With their catalog also including the triple-platinum 14:59, Sugar Ray dropped their seventh full-length, Little Yachty, in 2019, with NPR hailing the album’s “signature uplifting and airy rock sound.” No matter how much everything changes, we’ve got Sugar Ray forever.

SUGAR RAY PRESS PHOTO

ABOUT FASTBALL:
Fastball is an Alternative Rock band, best known as the platinum-selling, GRAMMY-nominated trio from Austin, Texas. From their earliest hit songs, “The Way” and “Out of My Head,” through the years Fastball has continually honed its voice and sound, which has further evolved on its latest, critically acclaimed album, Sonic Ranch. Powered by the exuberant first single and video “Rather Be Me Than You,” following the album release, the band rolled out a music video for their newest single and album track, “Hummingbird.” Fastball has toured extensively throughout 2024 performing before sell-out crowds of loyal fans who have supported the band for over 30 years, as well as an audience of new, young fans just discovering them.

Hailing from Atlanta, GA, Collective Soul celebrated their 30^th Anniversary in 2024 with the release of their highly anticipated and critically acclaimed 12^th studio album, HERE TO ETERNITY, May 17, 2024 on their Fuzze-Flex Records label. It was written and produced by E. Roland and co-produced by Shawn Grove, and recorded at Elvis Presley’s estate in Palm Springs, CA. They’re the only other music artist to ever record at the historical landmark. Very special guest appearances include Paul McCartney guitarist Brian Ray, longtime Sheryl Crow bandleader Peter Stroud, and Mickey Thomas of Jefferson Starship. With 11 studio albums—including 1995’s self-titled COLLECTIVE SOUL album, which went triple Platinum--and 8 #1 hits under their belt, frontman and chief songwriter Ed Roland is unwaveringly driven in his desire to double down on doing more of what he does best – making music, sweet music, both in the studio and onstage. Seeing eye to eye, and ear to ear, is part of the secret sauce of why Collective Soul continues to both record and play together at an uncompromised level of high quality. They were one of only five artists to have performed at both Woodstock festivals in ’94 and ’99. With electrifying newer material that accompanies the everlasting Collective Soul classic hits like “Shine,” “December,” “The World I Know,” “Heavy,” and “Where The River Flows,” these five fiery rockers are only just getting started with the next phase of their thriving career that has moved millions of records and wow multitudes of fans across the globe.

BONNIE RAITT CONTINUES HER HEADLINING TOUR

BONNIE RAITT CONTINUES HER HEADLINING TOUR
JOINED BY SPECIAL GUEST JIMMIE VAUGHAN & THE TILT-A-WHIRL BAND
TICKETS ON SALE FEBRUARY 7TH AT 10AM LOCAL TIME

Bonnie Raitt is heading back out for her fourth year on tour just months after being recognized for her lifetime of artistic achievements as part of the Kennedy Center's 47th Class of Honorees in Washington, DC last December. Raitt and her world-class band will headline theaters and amphitheaters around the country performing songs from her enduring catalog. Her tour has taken her across the U.S. and Canada with stops overseas in Australia, England, Ireland, Scotland and Europe since the release of her critically acclaimed, three-time GRAMMY Award-winning studio album, Just Like That… in 2022.

Raitt said, "I'm looking forward to having my longtime pal and one of my favorite artists, blues legend Jimmie Vaughan & The Tilt-A-Whirl Band be our special guests for the late Summer tour. We’ve shared many gigs and duets over the years but never as a 'double trouble' co-bill. Bound to be some good blues rockin’ going on - can’t wait to hit the road together!” Vaughan agrees, "Thrilled to play some shows with my talented friend Bonnie Raitt and her band! It’s been a long time coming! Myself and The Tilt-A-Whirl Band are excited to be part of this great tour.”

Raitt earned her 31st GRAMMY nomination in December, Best American Roots Performance, for her contribution to the track "Nothing In Rambling," a wonderful cover of Memphis Minnie’s song featuring Fabulous Thunderbirds founding member Kim Wilson, along with Bonnie, Keb' Mo', Taj Mahal and Mick Fleetwood. The track appears on the Fabulous Thunderbirds’ latest album, Struck Down, also nominated for the GRAMMY Award for Best Traditional Blues Album.

ABOUT BONNIE RAITT

Bonnie Raitt is a singer, songwriter, and guitarist whose unique style blends blues, R&B, rock, and pop. After 20 years as a cult favorite, she broke through to the top in the early 90s with her GRAMMY-award-winning albums, Nick of Time and Luck of the Draw, which featured hits, “Something To Talk About” and “I Can’t Make You Love Me” among others. The thirteen-time GRAMMY winner was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2000 and Rolling Stone named the slide guitar ace one of the “100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time” and one of the “100 Greatest Singers of All Time.”

The past few years have been very busy for Raitt. In 2022, Raitt embarked on a 75-date headlining U.S. tour; released her critically acclaimed 21st album ‘Just Like That…,’ (the third release on her independent label, Redwing Records) which was #1 on six Billboard charts the week of release and was perched at #1 on the Americana Radio Album Chart for ten consecutive weeks. The album’s first single, “Made Up Mind” remained in the top three spots on the Americana Radio Singles Chart for 17 weeks. Raitt also received the Icon Award at Billboard Women In Music Awards, the was recognized by the Recording Academy with a Lifetime Achievement Award and she saw her breakthrough album, ‘Nick of Time’ added to the Library of Congress’ National Recording Registry.

The momentum rolled into 2023 with Raitt earning three GRAMMY™ Awards at the 65^th Annual ceremony; Song Of The Year and Best American Roots Song for the title track of her most recent album “Just Like That…”, and Best Americana Performance for “Made Up Mind.” She then embarked on a busy year of touring not just in the U.S. but with stops in Australia, Canada, Ireland, and the UK. In 2024, Raitt returned to the U.S. and performed over 60 shows spanning coast to coast, and as the year came to a close, Raitt received another incredible accolade being recognized for her lifetime of artistic achievement as part of the Kennedy Center's 47th Class of Honorees in Washington, DC.

Raitt is as known for her lifelong commitment to social activism as she is for her music, and has long been involved with the environmental movement, performing concerts around oil, nuclear power, mining, water, and forest protection since the mid-‘70s. She was a founding member of MUSE (Musicians United for Safe Energy), which produced the historic concerts, album and film NO NUKES (1979,) as well as a founding member of The Rhythm and Blues Foundation, which works for royalty reform and recognition of generations of pioneer R&B artists. She continues to work on safe energy issues in addition to environmental protection, social justice, Native American and human rights, as well as artist's rights and music education.

ABOUT JIMMIE VAUGHAN

When it comes to the blues today, there are a handful of guiding lights to make sure the music stays true to its history. For Jimmie Vaughan, he’s dedicated his life to making sure the blues not only stays alive, but remains full of life and an inspiration to all who listen. It’s a spirit he holds close to him, and for almost 60 years, Vaughan isn’t about to stop now.

As a bandleader, singer and guitarist, the four time Grammy Award winner, Jimmie Vaughan is a master of how everything is captured for posterity. “Playing what you feel has always been my main goal,” Vaughan says. Considering the Texas guitarist and singer has had the kind of career that

makes him a living legacy, those are no idle words. His first group when he was 13 years old played Dallas’ Hob Nob Lounge six nights a week, learning the kind of lessons that can’t be taught, they have to be lived.

Getting the chance to open for Jimi Hendrix when he was 16 years old along with being heavily influenced by B.B. King, Muddy Waters, Albert King, Freddie King and so many more, convinced the young Vaughan it was time to find a way to play the music he felt the strongest about: the blues.

That took him to hitchhiking to Austin in the early 70’s and carving out a new crew of blues players who shared his musical excitement. He formed The Fabulous Thunderbirds and their debut album “Girls Go Wild” on Takoma Records was released in 1979. After worldwide success with The Fabulous Thunderbirds during the 80’s, it came time to leave the band and build his own path in exploring different approaches to the blues. He and his brother Stevie Ray Vaughan collaborated and released “Family Style” to great acclaim and recognition in the music industry.

He then released his first solo album on Epic Records in the early 90’s and what Vaughan discovered was that he could take it anywhere; there were no boundaries. “I wanted to find out what I could really do,” he says, “and when I started singing it gave me a whole new side to explore. When I was young I didn’t really pay much attention to categories of music. I just heard what I liked and decided to explore that and that’s really what I‘m still doing.”

Jimmie is continuing his love affair with and staying spiritually connected to the American music he loves.

The cross-continent tour of outdoor amphitheaters and performing arts centers will begin July 15 and includes two nights at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles on August 29 and 30, as well as Jones Beach in Wantagh, NY on July 19.

Rogers was discovered by Justin Tranter and has previously opened for Panic! At the Disco and Kesha in addition to playing major festivals and his own headline tour.

Lauper’s international Farewell Tour - her first major headlining run in a decade - kicked off in North America last October, and included her first time ever headlining (and selling out) Madison Square Garden. Lauper’s performances have earned tremendous raves from the New York Times, Rolling Stone, Billboard, Variety, Vulture, USA Today, New York Post and many more, and surprise guests including Chaka Khan, Sam Smith, and Hayley Williams made special guest appearances along the way. The tour just visited the U.K. and Europe, and will head to Australia and Japan in April.

Lauper has also been raising money for the Girls Just Want to Have Fundamental Rights Fund at the Tides Foundation since the Farewell Tour launched last fall. So far approximately $150,000 has been raised through direct donations fans have made at her shows and through efforts like online campaigns in partnership with FanDiem.

Lauper - the GRAMMY, EMMY and TONY-winning artist celebrated for her history-making albums, music videos, advocacy and ever-evolving style - developed a unique show to connect her hits with the visual art she loves. Original collaborations featuring the work of Yayoi Kusama, Daniel Wurtzel, fashion designer Christian Siriano, and Geoffrey Mac play a key role in the concert presentation. The Girls Just Wanna Have Fun Farewell Tour is produced by Live Nation and designed in partnership with Brian Burke Creative.

It’s been a tremendous past 12 months for Lauper, including the recent news that she has been nominated for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame’s class of 2025. In addition to her tour and the release of Let The Canary Sing, a feature-length documentary film directed by Alison Elwood streaming on Paramount Plus, she has been celebrated with appearances on Graham Norton, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the TODAY Show, Watch What Happens Live and The Kelly Clarkson Show. The Empire State Building was lit in canary yellow in her honor, and she has been profiled by CBS Sunday Morning, Vulture, the New York Times and Variety among many others. She was also honored with a hand imprint ceremony at the TCL Chinese Theater in Hollywood (with an introduction by her friends Cher and Bebe Rexha), and introduced Sabrina Carpenter’s performance at the MTV VMA Awards last fall.

ABOUT CYNDI LAUPER

Cyndi Lauper is a Grammy, Emmy, and Tony Award-winning songwriter and performing artist with global record sales in excess of 50 million. Her iconic voice, influential punk glamor, and infectious live shows have catapulted her to stardom. Lauper won the Grammy Award for Best New Artist with her first album, She's So Unusual, and became the first woman in history to have four top-five singles from a debut album including her anthem “Girls Just Want To Have Fun.” Lauper has released ten additional studio albums, featuring classics like “Time After Time” and “True Colors,” and is a Songwriters Hall of Fame inductee and NY Times best-selling author. In 2013, Lauper became the first solo woman to win Best Original Score (music and lyrics) for Kinky Boots. Lauper is also tireless in her advocacy work. She has been an activist since day one, always fighting for the underdog - especially women, the LGBTQ community, and youth experiencing homelessness. She has co-founded many efforts, worked with countless organizations, spoken at The White House, testified in the U.S. Senate, and raised millions of dollars in support of these causes. In the fall of 2022, in response to the overturning of Roe v. Wade, Lauper launched the Girls Just Want to Have Fundamental Rights Fund at the Tides Foundation, which supports efforts that advance the civil rights and health of women and girls around the globe.

ABOUT JAKE WESLEY ROGERS

Discovered by songwriter Justin Tranter in 2020, Rogers began his path to stardom the following year when Apple Music’s Zane Lowe premiered “Middle of Love,” calling him “wildly talented,” and Elton John praised him on his Rocket Hour radio show. About Jake, Elton gushed, “I love him because he reminds me of when I was starting out” and praised Jake’s songwriting: “What I love as a songwriter is that [his] songs are so beautifully formed.”

That opinion was soon shared by countless tastemakers including People, Billboard, Rolling Stone, American Songwriter,PAPER, and Vogue. He then made a whole new army of fans with the release of 2021’s Pluto EP, a run of North American tour dates supporting Panic! at the Disco, and unforgettable performances on Good Morning America, The Late Late Show with James Corden, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, and Late Night with Seth Meyers.

In 2022, Rogers shared his Love EP, which included numerous standout tracks such as “Lavender Forever,” “Hindsight,” and “Dark Bird.” In 2023, he hit the road to support Kesha on her North American tour, releasing the healing anthem “Window” around that time. Now, Jake is gearing up for a record 2025 with the release of his debut album In The Key Of Love, arriving May 9. With recent singles “God Bless” and “Loser,” and an entire album’s worth of new music on the horizon, Rogers returns to his mission of sharing a message of love, defiance, and — most importantly — hope.

THE BLACK KEYS ANNOUNCE SECOND US LEG OF “NO RAIN, NO FLOWERS” TOUR FOLLOWING SOLD OUT SHOWS

THE BLACK KEYS ANNOUNCE SECOND US LEG OF “NO RAIN, NO FLOWERS” TOUR FOLLOWING SOLD OUT SHOWS

FOUR-TIME GRAMMY AWARD-WINNING ARTIST

GARY CLARK JR. TO SUPPORT

LEG TWO KICKS OFF AUGUST 9 IN ATLANTIC CITY, NJ

TICKETS FOR NEW SHOWS ON SALE MARCH 21

PURCHASE HERE

Nashville, TN (March 17, 2025) – Today, Grammy-winning rock duo The Black Keys announced the second US leg of their “No Rain, No Flowers Tour” kicking off on August 9th in New Jersey and continuing through major cities and iconic venues including Forest Hills Stadium in New York and Blossom Music Center in the band’s home state of Ohio. Four-time GRAMMY award-winning American guitarist Gary Clark Jr. is set to support with The Heavy Heavy returning for select dates as well. The leg two announcement follows the incredible demand from fans, which saw multiple shows sell out within the first week of on sale for leg one.

Tickets for the new tour dates will go on sale on Friday, March 21st at 10AM local. All other previously announced shows are available now. Purchase tickets here. New dates have been added in San Diego and Hamburg, with the band also announced to play sets at RockLand Art Fest in Spain on July 20th and Shaky Knees Music Festival in Atlanta on September 20th. See full and updated tour routing below.

Along with the first leg tour announcement last month, The Black Keys released the light and groovy new track “The Night Before” via Easy Eye Sound/Warner Records – listen here and watch the official music video here. The single had an explosive start at radio both in the US and internationally, being #1 most added at Alternative and Triple A radio formats and currently sitting within Top 10 of both charts.

“The Night Before” is the first single released from The Black Keys’ 13th studio album, No Rain, No Flowers, coming later this year via Easy Eye Sound/Warner Records. No Rain, No Flowers is an especially personal project for the Black Keys, and sees the band craft its most ambitious and adventurous album yet, braiding together the pair’s sprawling, eclectic musical influences. They’ll continue to bring their revitalized energy to their tour where they pull from their critically acclaimed two-decade deep catalog.

About Gary Clark Jr.:

Clark achieved global impact following his first Grammy Award in 2014, winning Best Traditional R&B Performance for the track “Please Come Home” from his Warner Records debut album Blak And Blu, and seemingly never left the road. 2015’s The Story Of Sonny Boy Slim wrought hard-won international acclaim as a critical force to be reckoned with. In 2019, Clark ascended to greater heights with the release of his third full-length studio album This Land, winning him three more Grammy Awards, including Best Contemporary Blues Album as well as Best Rock Performance and Best Rock Song for title track “This Land.” Clark’s domestic tours became instant sell-outs and his international profile found him topping bills at legendary festivals and venues around the world. Clark has just completed his fourth and most compelling body of work to date, titled JPEG RAW, out now via Warner Records. Gary Clark Jr. by Mike Miller HERE

Weird Al” Yankovic Announces 2025 Tour

“Weird Al” Yankovic Announces 2025 Tour

“BIGGER & WEIRDER” Tour

To Hit 65 Cities Across North America

“ … less like a traditional concert than a Broadway musical crossed with comedy film festival crossed with a tent revival… the single best performance I had ever seen in my life. “Weird Al” Yankovic was a full-on rock star, a legitimate performance monster.” - New York Times

“Chalk it up to smarts or good timing,

but ‘Weird Al’ Yankovic arrived at a time where the counterculture met the monoculture,

beginning his career as an outsider and winding up as a beloved institution.” - Pitchfork

“He’s a living pop culture legend” - Consequence

“There has never been a better time

to be a hardcore fan of ‘Weird Al’ Yankovic than right now.” - Rolling Stone

“Weird Al” Yankovic is bringing his full-production multimedia comedy rock show back to the concert stage with the BIGGER & WEIRDER 2025 Tour. After two world tours in smaller venues with scaled-down, intimate shows featuring his original songs, Weird Al now returns to the big stage for the first time in six years, playing his iconic hits as well as some fan favorites which have never been performed live. With his giant video wall, multiple costume changes, and an amazing eight-piece ensemble featuring Al’s original band, Weird Al ups the ante on his already legendary show with a new super-sized concert experience.

“This is kind of a ‘best of both worlds’ tour,” explains Yankovic. “We’ll be doing all the big crowd-pleasing parodies as well as some deep cuts for the hardcore fans – but with twice as many players on stage, everything is going to sound twice as good!”

The tour will be supported by special guest Puddles Pity Party, the 7-foot sad clown whose golden voice is “comparable to any Grammy winner” (Los Angeles Times) and has performed sold out shows around the globe including San Francisco’s Palace of Fine Arts, London’s Soho Theatre and a residency at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas.

BIGGER & WEIRDER kicks off Friday, June 13 with a week of shows at The Venetian in Las Vegas, and runs across North America through September 21. Tour dates and tickets for all shows are available here, with public onsale beginning at 10am local time on Friday, September 27.

Earlier this year, in celebration of his #1 album Mandatory Fun’s 10th anniversary, Weird Al released his new single and video “Polkamania!,” a medley of some of the biggest and most memorable songs of the last decade by artists like Miley Cyrus, Billie Eilish, Adele and Taylor Swift. He recently celebrated the 35th anniversary of his cult classic film UHF with a new 4K/UHD/Blu-Ray release with bonus features.

"Weird Al" Yankovic is the biggest-selling comedy recording artist in history. A pop culture icon, he is known around the world for his parodies of mega hits by artists of the last four decades including Madonna, Taylor Swift, Michael Jackson, Usher, Nirvana, Eminem, Queen, Lady Gaga, and many more. His numerous hits include “Amish Paradise,” “Eat It,” “Like a Surgeon,” “Smells Like Nirvana,” “Word Crimes,” and the platinum-selling “White & Nerdy.” He has received 5 Grammy awards and 17 career nominations, and is one of only three artists to chart in the Top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100 in the previous four consecutive decades (the others being Madonna and Michael Jackson). His last album Mandatory Fun is the only comedy album in history to debut at #1 on the Billboard Top 200. Also an accomplished actor, writer, director and producer, Yankovic was awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2018, and an Emmy Award for the 2022 release WEIRD: The Al Yankovic Story (starring Daniel Radcliffe as Yankovic). Yankovic’s live shows have entertained audiences across the globe for generations, including appearances at such iconic venues as Radio City Music Hall, The Hollywood Bowl, Red Rocks, Wolf Trap, The Kennedy Center and Carnegie Hall.
