The first phase of construction has officially begun on a new concert venue on the Ohio River in Newport, Kentucky. It was first announced in May by concert promoter PromoWest and its partner AEG Presents that construction would begin after 10 years of planning. In addition to the venue, a two-story parking garage will be constructed, which construction crews have already begun working on. Since the Ovation venue was announced, it took six weeks to get all the site plan approved and permits needed for Corporex Cos, the managing director Tom Banta told Cincinnati.com . “The City of Newport has been great to work with, and the entitlement and approval process has been very smooth,” Banta said. “We are doing a staged design, permit and construction process that will allow us to fast track the project to completion.” After the first phase of construction is completed in 2020, more construction will begin for residential and commercial spaces near the venue, up to 5 million square feet. The development will be raised on top of elevated garages, creating a perfect view of downtown Newport and the Ohio River. When complete, the project will be take up about a quarter of the 120-acre Banks development and feature parks, plazas, and trails, Cincinnati.com reports. The concert venue has already sparked interest, as Banta already said he has been receiving calls from people after the announcement was made. Another competing venue, set to be placed across the Ohio River at The Banks in Cincinnati, is still up-in-the-air.

A fan is suing hip-hop star Drake after she was injuring during a show in 2016 at New York City’s Madison Square Garden. According to court documents, which were obtained by The Blast , Amanda Giovacco was “violently struck by a beer bottle that was thrown while attending the Drake concert,” and was “maliciously and without just cause or provocation, subjected to a battery.” Joseph Picco, an employee of MSG, as well as Live Nation Worldwide, are also named in the suit. Giovacco claims that Drake and the co-defenders are held responsible for being unable to stop “aggressive and/or violent behavior at the concert” and cited that “they knew Drake has history of violence at his concerts.” The suit also points out that the Garden was overcrowded and too much liquor was provided to fans, which in turn, caused inadequate “monitoring and surveillance of the premises during the concert as to prevent aggressive behavior from escalating.” After being struck by the bottle, Giovacco endured serious injuries, including a traumatic brain injury and seizures, which ultimately halted her from attending medical school. Giovacco’s legal team notes that her future “is now precarious,” and believe that someone should be held responsible for the injuries she suffered. The concert in question took place on August 8, 2016 as a part of Drake & Future’s Summer Sixteen Tour. The post Drake Sued By Fan Who Was Injured During 2016 Gig appeared first on TicketNews .

The metalheads of As I Lay Dying are hitting the road for a headlining tour this fall following their return to the music scene last year. The Shaped By Fire Tour will kick-off in Las Vegas, Nevada at the House of Blues on November 15, followed by gigs in New Orleans, Boston, Minneapolis, Chicago, and Denver. They’ll make stops at venues like The Complex in Salt Lake City, The Fillmore Charlotte, and Ace of Spades in Sacramento before wrapping-up at SOMA in San Diego mid-December. Throughout the outing, they’ll be joined by After The Burial and Emmure. In 2018, As I Lay Dying returned after a five-year break, following frontman Tim Lambesis’ six-year prison sentence for conducting a murder-for-hire plot against his now estranged ex-wife. He served two and half years in prison before being released early. Since his return, Lambesis penned a letter, apologizing for his “appalling actions” and admitted to letting down his fans and anyone who had looked up to him in the industry. The group released their first single in almost five years, “My Own Grave,” and began to tour again. Earlier this year, they crossed North America, making stops in New Haven, Detroit, Tampa, and Pensacola, among other cities. However, the band has still received harsh backlash from some music fans, denoting Lambesis’ actions as deplorable. One venue in Memphis, Tennessee cancelled the group’s show after the public demanded for the show to be shut down. This April, As I Lay Dying released another single “Redefined.” It is unclear whether or not this track, along with “My Own Grave,” will be a part of a forthcoming record. If so, this will be their first LP since 2012’s Awakened. Check out the group’s full list of upcoming tour dates below.

Cardi B fans are itching to see the rap star headline a tour of her own, but the singer explained why that probably won’t happen anytime soon. In an Instagram post that has since been deleted, Cardi B lashed out on people “who are not fans,” explaining to them why she doesn’t tour. “Let’s say if I go on tour and I do 600K a night right… sounds good but let’s get in the touring business shall we?” she wrote. “Stage production gotta be massive since the fans pay massive so just on stage and production I will have to put about 450K maybe more a night since you know BardiGang deserve everything. Don’t forget outfit, makeup, hair, I’ll be left with like 150K a night.” While this seems like a good payout, it’s inevitable that she’ll make more money at a festival or one-off show rather than a single stop on tour. According to a chart she shared with the Instagram post, she makes at least $300,000 per festival appearance. This past June, she earned $300,000 playing a gig at Las Vegas’ Palms Resort & Casino, $400,000 playing Bonnaroo Music Festival in Tennessee, and $500,000 when she performed at Los Angeles’ STAPLES Center. Then, she topped those earnings by making $750,000 playing Longitude Festival in Ireland and Wireless in Germany and the UK, as well as a whopping $900,000 playing Openair Frauenfeld in Switzerland. From June to August, she’s expected to bring in around $10 million. “Now why would I do that now when I can go on tour on my second album while I got festival and independent Cardi concerts money?” she continued in the post. “Mhhhmmm.. You see ya might think I’m dumb cause my attitude or the way I think but one thing bout Bardi I loveee money and I know how to make it… I hope I answer ya question…Thank you. Just stop it already.” It’s no secret that Cardi B has quickly risen to fame – from her days as an exotic dancer to living frivolously after the release of her debut breakthrough LP Invasion of Privacy . It’s also no secret that she loves a good paycheck — just listen to the lyrics behind any of her hits like “Bodak Yellow,” “Get Up 10,” “Money Bag,” and “Money.” While fans will likely have to wait to see Cardi B on tour when she releases a new record, she’s also slated to appear at a few shows this year. She’ll perform at the Mid City State Fair in Paso Robles, California this weekend, followed by appearances in Tulsa, Wichita, Lincoln, Minneapolis, Indianapolis, and Charlottesville before appearing at Veld Music Festival in Toronto. This fall, she’ll continue with sets at the Real Street Festival in Anaheim, Made In America Festival in Philly, Austin City Limits in Texas, and Music Midtown Festival in Atlanta.

CNBC is reporting that e-commerce giant eBay is exploring a potential sale of StubHub, with “multiple” parties interested in the potential acquisition of the ticket resale marketplace. Company stock (NASDAQ: EBAY) jumped more than 2% on Monday with the news. The rumors of the sale follow the announcement of a strategic portfolio review in March, brought on at least in part by activist pressure from investors, most notably Elliot Management and Starboard Value LP. The New York-based companies began pushing for eBay to consider shedding both StubHub and its classifieds business to focus on its core marketplace in January. “Elliott believes that eBay is worth far more – but change is urgently needed to address both public perceptions and real business issues,” Jesse Cohn, a partner at Elliott, wrote in a letter to eBay reported by the Mercury News. He called these issues “prolonged, self-inflicted misexecution” which caused eBay’s Marketplace to be “deeply undervalued.” “Despite its remarkable history as one of the world’s largest e-commerce platforms, eBay as a public-company investment has underperformed both its peers and the market for a prolonged period of time,” the letter said. Elliot Management reportedly owns a stake of more than four percent of eBay. Starboard has a smaller, but still significant, stake in the California-based company. It is unclear who the potential interested parties might be. StubHub has long been a market leader in secondary ticketing, and has a considerable market share, as well as integrations with several teams and leagues, most notably Major League Baseball and the NFL.

Woodstock 50, a festival commemorating the 1969 event, has faced numerous hardships over the past few months, and now, their proposal to hold the festival in the town of Vernon, New York has been denied. Organizers released a statement last night sharing the news: “Woodstock 50 is disappointed that the Town of Vernon has passed up the opportunity to hold the historic 50 th Anniversary Festival by denying our robust and thoughtful proposal. We regret that those in Vernon who supported Woodstock have been deprived of the once-in-a-lifetime chance to be part of the rebirth of a cultural peace movement that changed the world in 1969 and is what the world needs now. We want to thank the artists who stood by us. We are grateful for the support of Vernon Downs and its generous owner Jeffrey Gural.” Following the decision Tuesday night, festival organizer and co-founder of the original Woodstock, Michael Lang, was questioned about the festival. According to the Poughkeepsie Journal , he was asked if this is now the end of the road for Woodstock 50, to which he replied “I don’t know…We need to regroup and figure it out.” “I’m disappointed,” he said. “I knew this wasn’t going to be easy and I knew that the town supervisor, frankly, was really behind this position. We just hoped there was a sense of fairness that these people would be adhering to and it doesn’t seem to be the case.” The festival has officially hit its lowest point. Not only did they lose a headlining act , their financial backer , and all the money put aside for the fest , but now, there is no venue. While the event was originally set to be held at Watkins Glen International Speedway , organizers failed to make the final payment. Now, there’s 30 days left to go and all these downfalls don’t seem particularly reassuring. For months, Lang has been reassuring fans that these setbacks were normal and almost felt like déjà vu, since the original festival didn’t have a venue until a month beforehand. Nonetheless, organizers are cutting it close. The billed-festival, which is supposed to be held from August 16 to 18, would include performances from headlining artists like Miley Cyrus, Jay-Z, and Halsey, should they still choose to take the stage.
