Iggy Pop

“right at home alongside classics such as ‘The Passenger.’”—THE CURRENT

“Channeling Pop’s high point as a solo artist… the classic ’70s albums The Idiot and Lust For Life, ‘Sunday‘…  unabashedly recalls that era with its skeletal yet punchy drumming, sculpted guitar and avant-garage edge.”—NPR

“Homme’s steady, signature riffing casts a brilliant rhythm while Iggy Pop’s classic voice exudes David Bowie in this song… A truly fantastic track, that stands by itself as a tremendous piece of work”—POPMATTERS

“scorching”—ROLLING STONE

Having recently wrapped up a unanimously acclaimed North American tour, Iggy Pop and Joshua Homme proudly release the video for “Sunday,” the standout third single from Iggy’s critically acclaimed and career-high-charting Post Pop Depression (Rekords Rekords/Loma Vista/Caroline International).

Directed by Andreas Neumann, produced by Joshua Homme and Neumann, and edited by Tony Hays, the video gives fans an inside look at Post Pop Depression from its creation at Rancho De Luna up until the band’s first public performance at the Teragram Ballroom in Los Angeles. Featuring behind-the-scenes footage from early rehearsals, the inaugural live show and sweeping ariel shots of lush, tropical Miami greenery juxtaposed with blistering scenes of the Joshua Tree desert, it strikingly embodies the two worlds of these unstoppable forces of nature that have brought us “one of the most vital and engaged works” (TIME) of Iggy Pop’s career.

Second Washington DC Show Added Due to Overwhelming Demand

Due to overwhelming demand, Paul McCartney has confirmed he will add a second and final show to his Washington D.C. engagement at Verizon Center on Wednesday, August 10th.

As with the launch of every new Paul McCartney tour, One On One promises to unveil a dazzling re-designed set, dozens of classics from the most beloved catalog in popular music, spanning Paul’s entire career—as a solo artist, member of Wings and of course as a Beatle—and no shortage of surprises.

One On One is the first new Paul McCartney tour since the juggernaut that was Out There came to its stunning conclusion on October 22, 2015 with Paul’s first ever concert in Buffalo, NY. Out There’s finale capped off an incredible 2015, in which the tour played 27 shows in 22 cities throughout the world, with
highlights including Paul’s historic debut in South Korea—where the crowd at Seoul Olympic Stadium’s refusal to stop singing the refrain to “Hey Jude” literally forced Paul to reprise the song in the first encore, playing that signature bassline live for the first time—three nights at the Tokyo Dome and one at Budokan, a sold out stand at Paris’ majestic Stade de France, more than a dozen packed arena shows across the U.S., UK and Europe, and triumphant headlines at festivals such as Firefly, Roskilde, and Lollapalooza in Chicago—the latter a tour de force performance for a 100,000-strong crowd featuring a guest appearance from Alabama Shakes’ Brittany Howard on “Get Back.”

The Paul McCartney live experience is everything any music lover could ever want from a rock show—and so much more: Nearly three hours worth of the greatest moments from the last 50 years of music, dozens of songs that have formed the soundtracks of our lives. Paul and his band have played an unparalleled range of venues and locations: outside the Coliseum in Rome, Moscow’s Red Square, Buckingham Palace, The White House, a free show in Mexico for over 400,000 people, the last ever show at San Francisco’s Candlestick Park where The Beatles played their final concert 1966, and even one performance broadcast live into Space! Featuring Paul’s band of the last 10+ years – Paul “Wix” Wickens (keyboards), Brian Ray (bass/guitar), Rusty Anderson (guitar) and Abe Laboriel Jr (drums) – the show is never anything short of life-changing.

The One On One Tour will debut a brand new production, as always utilizing state of the art audio and  video technology and to ensure an unforgettable experience from every seat in the house. Employing  massive screens, lasers, fireworks and, of course, a staggering selection of the best songs ever written or
performed, every Paul McCartney show promises a once in a lifetime evening that transcends and elevates the potential of live music.

Tickets will go on sale beginning Friday, May 6 at 10:00am ET.

American Express® Card Members can purchase tickets before the general public beginningWednesday, May 4 at 10:00am ET through Thursday, May 5 at 10:00pm ET.

History met history last night backstage at the Verizon Arena in Little Rock, AR as Paul McCartney met Mrs. Thelma Mothershed Wair and Ms. Elizabeth Eckford of the Little Rock Nine.

As young students who struggled against segregation, enrolling in the previously all-white Little Rock Central High School in 1957, the Little Rock Nine introduced a young Paul to the civil rights movement and inspired the lyrics of “Blackbird.”
