It’s a known fact among fangirls that NKOTB are notoriously bad at keeping secrets. Last week when they teased a huge announcement was going to be made on the TODAY show, it took Blockheads about 5 minutes to figure it out. But if there is anyone worse at keeping a secret, it’s Paula Abdul. After finishing her set at the Mixtape Festival over the Summer, she quickly told the crowd “I’m going on tour with NKOTB & Boyz II Men next year bye!” Which left us with so many questions for Paula. When does it start? What venues? When do pre-sales start?
Luckily for us, that day has come! On the TODAY show this morning, NKOTB officially announced the “Total Package Tour” with Boyz II Men and Paula Abdul will kick off in May in Columbus, OH! Tickets go on sale to the public on Saturday, November 19th. Pre-sales for Blockhead members and Amex cardholders start TOMORROW, Wednesday, November 16th.
NKOTB are the absolute best at giving you all the on-sale info you could ever need. Head over to NKOTB.com for all the info on pre-sales, VIP packages, and more. There is even a very detailed plan of the stage to help plan your ticket buying! And if you struggle with figuring out what “local venue time” means, they have a handy time zone converter. (Dear NKOTB team, please teach other artists how to do on-sales, thank you.)
The tour is hitting major arenas across the US, along with stops at Fenway Park (which should be another epic show) and Hollywood Bowl. This is Paula Abdul’s first tour in over 25 years. She CRUSHED IT at Mixtape Festival! And NKOTB and Boyz II Men always BRING IT each and every night. This is one tour you do not want to miss. Check out all of the tour dates below!

We saw Cam for the first time in 2014 when she opened for Dan + Shay on their first headlining tour at Highline Ballroom in NYC. Her set was so much fun (one of our favorite openers ever!) and we knew we’d be hearing much more from her in the future. Since that show, Cam signed with Sony, released her debut album “Untamed,” and had her first #1 single, “Burning House.” Cam came full circle last week when she came back to Highline Ballroom on her first headlining tour, the “Burning House” Tour.
Cam played every track from “Untamed” during her set. The enthusiastic crowd sang along from start to finish. We love that Cam took the time to introduce every track, telling the crowd anecdotes and the inspiration for writing each song. She has a knack for storytelling, evident in both her songwriting and her on stage banter. Every story was heartfelt or hilarious, or a little bit of both. She reminded us of another blonde country star: Dolly Parton!
Cam had one of the coolest sets we had ever seen, turning the stage into a beautiful house in the woods complete with forest creatures and flashing stars. It got even cooler when a blacklight made it seem to glow in the dark about halfway through the set.
Cam played some new material during the show, including the head-banging “Man Hunt,” which showed that Cam can totally rock. She closed her set with the hilarious “Fireball Whiskey,” which Cam had actually pitched to the company. She said they declined since the track “does not promote responsible drinking.”
The night ended with Cam’s breakout single, “Burning House,” which turned into a very loud singalong. The “Burning House” Tour runs through December. Click here for tour dates! Don’t miss your chance to see this rising star.
Shiffley just dropped a brand new single called “Sleepless Nights.” The synth heavy track is a preview of the sound and direction of their upcoming debut album. The song is “a story about a robot who falls so deeply in love with a human that it is willing to take on the full emotional spectrum to be with her.”
We are so excited for new music from one of our top artists to watch! Listen to “Sleepless Nights” on Spotify below.

2016 has been a great year for the next generation of young American players. Reilly Opelka just won his first pro title over the weekend at the ATP Challenger event in Charlottesville, VA. Opelka joins fellow American teens Taylor Fritz and Frances Tiafoe, who also won challenger titles this year. USA! USA!
Juan Monaco Trends Worldwide on Twitter
We were surprised to see Juan Monaco, AKA Pico, trending worldwide on Twitter on Sunday night. Turns out he was a guest on a talk show in Argentina (hello, off season!) In case anyone needs advice on “selling tennis to the millennials,” we suggest going this route instead of trying to find ways to re-invent and shorten the game.
Today is gonna be a good day because DNCE just announced dates for a massive Winter tour for 2017! The band are hitting a bunch of cities around the States playing mid-size venues so you can bet these shows will still be just as rambunctious as their club shows are.

New York pop duo Fly By Midnight just released their latest single and it’s a TUUNEEE!! “Vinyl” was one of our favorites that we heard at their show in NYC in September, but we can’t get enough of these guys. Justin Bryte and Justin “Slavo” Slaven have cracked the pop code to create songs that make you want to groove like they used to!
The new single dreams of a time when we used to meet at bars without swiping right first, exchanging numbers on napkins instead of snapchats, and dancing to your favorite records because we all know vinyl sounds better! Watch the official lyric video for “Vinyl” below.
