Andrew McMahon tour news

Veteran indie-pop singer-songwriter-pianist Andrew McMahon has announced the return of Three Pianos: An Evening with Something Corporate, Jack's Mannequin, and Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness, taking the special career-spanning event to three cities this August.

Camp Wilderness fan club presale started today (February 17th) at 12pm ET/9am PT with various presales available Wednesday, February 18th and Thursday, February 19th starting at 10am local time. The public on-sale will commence on Friday, February 20th at 10am local time. PRESS HERE to sign up for fan club access, ticketing details, and to purchase. $1 from every ticket sold will be donated to the Dear Jack Foundation, McMahon’s nonprofit charity assisting adolescents and young adults diagnosed with cancer.

Additionally, McMahon has announced two intimate “An Evening With Andrew McMahon” shows for Philadelphia on August 6th and Chicago on August 12th. Tickets for these shows will be available first for Camp Wilderness fan club members starting today (February 17th) at 12pm ET/9am PT.

Any remaining tickets will go on sale for the public on Friday, February 20th at 10am local time. See below for all upcoming show dates. Andrew McMahon uses Ticketmaster’s Face Value Exchange to help fans get tickets at the original price. Tickets will be non-transferable and can only be resold on Ticketmaster at face value. In Illinois where laws prevent resale restrictions, tickets can be transferred but Ticketmaster will still honor McMahon’s terms by keeping resale prices at face value on its site.

“Last summer’s Three Pianos show was life changing,” shares McMahon. “Nothing could have prepared me for the magic I felt that night. Sharing the stage with the members of all three of my bands and getting to weave a lifetime’s worth of songs and memories into a single show is something I’d wanted to do for years but was too scared to try. Having done it once, I couldn’t shake the feeling that this was a moment deserving of a few more stages and a few more nights with my friends and collaborators and the fans that gave our music a home.”

Before their shows together this August, McMahon will gather with all of his bandmates for his Holiday From Real Cruise. The 2nd annual experience, produced by Sixthman, sails from February 28-March 4 from Miami to the Dominican Republic and features performances from Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness, Jack’s Mannequin, Something Corporate, The Maine, The Starting Line, The Rocket Summer, and more.

Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band to tour U.S. this spring

Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band will launch their Land Of Hope And Dreams American Tour across the country this spring, kicking off in Minneapolis in late March.

Springsteen offered the following comments about the goals of the tour:

"We are living through dark, disturbing and dangerous times, but do not despair — the cavalry is coming! Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band will be taking the stage this spring from Minneapolis to California to Texas to Washington, D.C. for the Land of Hope And Dreams American Tour. We will be rocking your town in celebration and in defense of America — American democracy, American freedom, our American Constitution and our sacred American dream — all of which are under attack by our wannabe king and his rogue government in Washington, D.C. Everyone, regardless of where you stand or what you believe in, is welcome — so come on out and join the United Free Republic of E Street Nation for an American spring of Rock 'n' Rebellion! I’ll see you there!" — Bruce Springsteen

In the spring of 2025, Springsteen and The E Street Band brought their Land Of Hope And Dreams Tour to more than 700,000 fans across Europe and released the “Land Of Hope And Dreams” EP from opening night in Manchester, England. Their return to the United States will mark Springsteen and The E Street Band’s first shows in North America since 2024.

For ticketing information, please visit BruceSpringsteen.net/Tour and follow Springsteen on Instagram, Facebook and Bluesky for tour updates.

The E Street Band's members are Roy Bittan (piano, synthesizer), Nils Lofgren (guitar, vocals), Patti Scialfa (guitar, vocals), Garry Tallent (bass guitar), Stevie Van Zandt (guitar, vocals) and Max Weinberg (drums); with Soozie Tyrell (violin, guitar, vocals), Jake Clemons (saxophone) and Charlie Giordano (organ, keyboards, accordion).

They will be joined again by The E Street Horns (Barry Danielian, Eddie Manion, Ozzie Melendez, Curt Ramm), The E Street Choir (Lisa Lowell, Michelle Moore, Ada Dyer, Curtis King) and Anthony Almonte (percussion, vocals).

Jimmy Eat World to launch summer North American tour

photo: Christoper Wray-McCann

Arizona alt-rock band Jimmy Eat World will kick off the celebration for the 25th anniversary of their album Bleed American with a tour that starts in June in Denver. 

The trek marks the band's return to the Vans Warped Tour stage, in all five cities, after a 25-year absence. 

As members prepare for tour, they are approaching songs from the album with a perspective they lacked in the blur of 2001: intentional gratitude. For drummer Zach Lind, this tour feels like a second chance to show appreciation to the fans who provided their livelihood for the past 25 years. 

Lead vocalist and guitarist Jim Adkins echoes this sentiment: “I feel like at this time in our lives, especially for me, it’s important to get back to a place that you can savor. This tour is designed to be an elevated version of our show, a heightened experience with production that reflects 25 years of learning how to stretch artistically in the live environment.” Fans can expect to hear the entirety of Bleed American, along with others. 

Along the tour, Jimmy Eat World will be joined by very special guests on select dates.

Originally released July 24, 2001 via DreamWorks Records, Bleed American has been certified platinum in the U.S. and gold in the U.K., with the single “The Middle” recently joining the Spotify Billion Streams Club. 

Adkins says: “When we printed the last mix of Bleed American, we felt like we had achieved something great for ourselves. There was no barometer of how it would connect with people outside of the studio, and we are still in awe with the life the record and songs have had since their original release. Bleed American is as much yours as it is ours, so we want to celebrate it with you all in a very special way.”

For the North America dates, general on sale tickets are available Friday, February 13 at 10 a.m. local time.

For Information on tickets and more, visit: JimmyEatWorld.com.

The band’s most recent release is last year's Something(s) Loud EP.

Soundtrack to Paul McCartney & Wings documentary 'Man on the Run' arrives Feb. 27

Ahead of the release of Paul McCartney: Man on the Run, the new documentary by Oscar, Emmy, and Grammy Award-winning director Morgan Neville, exploring Paul McCartney’s career after The Beatles’ breakup, Capitol Records, MPL Communications and UMG have announced details of a companion album titled, Man on the Run - Music from the Motion Picture Soundtrack.

The album includes hits and various tracks from across Paul McCartney and Wings’ catalog. “Arrow Through Me (Rough Mix),” a previously unreleased rough mix from the 1979 album sessions for Back to the Egg, and “Live And Let Die (Rockshow),” from the 1980 concert film Rockshow, can both be heard exclusively via Amazon Music here, ahead of release. The album will feature a third previously unreleased track in “Gotta Sing Gotta Dance,” originally featured in the 1973 The James Paul McCartney TV Special.

Both the soundtrack album and documentary will be released on February 27, with Man on the Run - Music from the Motion Picture Soundtrack arriving in a variety of formats, including a limited edition New York Taxi Yellow Vinyl LP by Jack White's Third Man Pressing plant (pre-order here), a limited edition Tangerine Peel Orange Vinyl LP Amazon Exclusive, and Black Vinyl LP, through to a 1CD edition and digital release. Each vinyl edition will also come with a Man on the Run poster.

The artwork had creative direction by Paul McCartney and Aubrey ‘Po’ Powell of Hipgnosis - the iconic design studio that worked with Paul for eight Wings albums, including Band on the Run, Venus and Mars, Wings Over America, Wings Greatest, and the 2025 anthology, WINGS. The artwork was designed by Peter Curzon of Storm Studios.

Fans can shop the Amazon exclusive soundtrack vinyl here today and find more merch on Paul McCartney’s official store on Amazon.com and in the Amazon Music app.

Speaking about his approach to the film and soundtrack, director Morgan Neville said:

“When people talk about the biggest acts of the 1970s, the list rarely includes Paul McCartney. Not because he wasn’t big - he was undeniably one of the biggest acts of the decade - but because of what he’d already done. Paul had been in the biggest band in the world, which in turn had created itself its own gravitational force.

In my film, Man on the Run, I wanted to look at Paul’s impossible run from that long shadow of The Beatles.

It was a journey full of unlikely choices - a van tour! Bruce McMouse! Nigeria! Thrillington! A Scottish anthem! - but looked at together, the madness of those choices actually started to seem sane. How else could one deal with the weight of such expectations than by doing the unexpected?

I also saw that throughout the decade, Paul stopped running away from something and started running towards something else - his own voice, his own family, his own life. This was a story of somebody finding themselves.

This soundtrack is a snapshot of that journey told through his music. Each of these songs is a result of some creative impulse of who Paul was at that moment in time. It was through song that Paul spoke, not only to the world, but to himself. We’re lucky enough to be able to listen along.”

Paul McCartney: Man on the Run will be available on Prime Video from February 27. The film will also be released in cinemas for one night only by Trafalgar Releasing on February 19. Tickets to see the film first, in select cinemas worldwide, are available at manontherun.film.  Each theatrical screening also includes a bonus conversation between Paul McCartney and director Morgan Neville, exclusive to cinemas.
