Hunter Hayes just released the music video for his latest single, “21.” The video is just as fun as the song, mixing Hunter’s performance with people dancing along like they just turned 21. Hunter’s dog Cole even makes an appearance! You might also recognize the amazing set made out of light-up amps that Hunter uses on the Wheels Up Tour with Lady Antebellum. Watch the video below!

Kelsea Ballerini just hit #1 on the country charts with her hit “Love Me Like You Mean It.” She is the first female to hit #1 on country radio with a debut single since Carrie Underwood in 2006. Needless to say, it’s been a great year for Kelsea, who released her debut album “The First Time” in May. She just announced her first headlining show in NYC at Gramercy Theatre in July. Tickets are on sale now!

After months of counting down, it’s real y’all! FarmBorough Festival is here! We’ve already previewed days 1 and 2 of the festival, now it’s time to look at which artists are a must-see on Sunday.
1. The Railers – Next From Nashville Stage – 3:40pm
We’ve been lucky to catch The Railers at a couple of shows with Hunter Hayes. They are one of our top artists to watch, with their gift for musicianship and chilling harmonies. Their live show is not to be missed!
2. Lindsey Ell – Main Stage – 3:30pm
She’s often referred to as “the female Keith Urban” and we’ve heard nothing but high praise for her guitar skills.
3. Logan Mize – Next From Nashville Stage – 5:35pm
You won’t be able to get away from a Good Time during Logan’s set!
4. Cassadee Pope – Main Stage – 4:40pm
Make sure you stick around for this set from the former Voice champion and see how she blends a little pop punk with her southern roots!
5. Luke Bryan – Main Stage – 9:10pm
What better way to end the festival than shaking it in the city with Luke Bryan? Shake it for the big rats running down deep on the tracks / For the pigeons and the bankers and the squirrels / Shake it to the Bronx, shake it for me girl / City girl shake it for me now
Hunter Hayes promised us new music this Summer, and he just delivered another new track, “Young And In Love.” The track is his 3rd new release to debut exclusively on Spotify. We heard this song for the first time when we caught Hunter on the Wheels Up Tour With Lady Antebellum, and we were in love at first listen. Check it out below! Visit HunterHayes.com for upcoming tour dates.

There ain’t no party like a Block Party! New Kids On The Block’s Summer Tour, aptly titled, “The Main Event,” stopped at Nassau Coliseum in Long Island over the weekend. As with any NKOTB event, it was a nonstop party from start to finish! It was everything we expected from this tour, and more. NKOTB know how to BRING IT each and every night on stage. Our review started as a fangirl keysmash but we managed to recover enough to write actual words.
Round 1: Nelly
Nelly got the party started with hits like “Country Grammar,” “Ride Wit Me” and “Hot in Herre,” making everyone feel like they were back in high school.
Round 2: TLC
T-Boz and Chilli win for best outfits of the night. Their holographic jumpsuits and their dancers’ “TLC” printed overalls made us feel like we were back in 1999. The highlight of the set was a singalong to their hit “Waterfalls,” as the crowd held up lights in memory of Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes.
Round 3: New Kids On The Block
The New Kids just get better and better with age. NKOTB know how to put on a SHOW. They also know how to make every fan in the arena feel like a part of the action. Their stage setup is one of the coolest we’ve ever seen, with moving risers and multiple runways, so everyone has a chance to be close to the band. And they know exactly what the fangirls want. Change cam? Check. Tuxedos? Check. Dance Moves? Check.
Their set was a mix of old favorites and recent ones, and the year of each song’s release was written on the big screen – from 1984 to 2013. After singing “Please Don’t Go Girl,” Joey McIntyre said he’d been singing that song for 27 years, and asked the crowd if he could sing for 27 more, generating lots of screams from the audience (YES, PLEASE!)
Jordan Knight came out for a solo segment, his white shirt billowing open thanks to a couple of wind machines. Joey McIntyre followed, but decided to take things one step further and abandoned his shirt entirely. Donnie Wahlberg, once known for his tank top ripping and getting extremely um, close to fans in the front row, is happily married now to Jenny McCarthy, who was also in attendance. Instead of his old antics, Donnie led the crowd in a singalong of “Lean On Me,” while hundreds of #SelfiesForDonnie rotated on the big screen.
A highlight of the show was when the band dispersed into the crowd during “Tonight,” getting even closer to some lucky fans. Joey’s adorable son Griffin kicked off the song, singing from on top of the piano. He even did a spinning headstand. Trust us, this kid is going to be playing arenas with (we hope) his own boyband one day!
NKOTB are kicking off the 1st of 2 nights at Madison Square Garden tonight. There’s just a few more stops left on The Main Event Tour, but if you can get to a show, it’s a MUST.

We’ve been counting down the days since FarmBorough Festival was announced in October, but we’re finally just one week away from the big day! Last week we took a look at what artists to catch on opening day. Here are our must-see acts for Day 2, Saturday, June 27th when NYC goes Country!
1) Mickey Guyton – Main Stage – 3:00 PM
Mickey is one of country’s hottest young stars, and has been compared to LeAnn Rimes. She just released her first EP to rave reviews, and is currently on tour with Brad Paisley.
2) Brandy Clark – Main Stage – 3:50 PM
Brandy has written hits for nearly all of the big names in Nashville, including “Mama’s Broken Heart” with Kacey Musgraves. She was nominated for Best New Artist at the 2015 Grammy Awards for her stellar solo debut.
3) Striking Matches – Next From Nashville Stage – 4:15 PM
We were first struck by Striking Matches’ talent when they opened for Hunter Hayes a couple of years ago. We’re glad the duo is finding success after the release of their debut album earlier this year and can’t wait to see them again!
4) Charlie Worsham – Main Stage – 5:00 PM
Charlie has been working on his second album, a follow up to 2013’s “Rubberband.” We hope to hear some of what he’s been working on at the Festival!
5) Sturgill Simpson – Next From Nashville Stage – 7 PM
Sturgill has been making the festival rounds this year, already playing at Coachella, Stagecoach, Bonnaroo and Governor’s Ball, he knows how to win over any crowd.
Pop’s new prince Shawn Mendes just released a special new song that he worked on for Disney’s “Descendants” movie, which premieres July 31st only on Disney Channel. We can’t wait to watch the movie, which follows the children of some of your favorite classic Disney movie villains! And naturally we’ll be listening for Shawn’s song, too.

The Weekend Riot are all about fun, quirky videos and it’s no surprise their brand new video for “25 Minutes” has little Easter eggs scattered throughout it!

You might recognize some familiar scenes from some of the cover videos the band has done. And did you spot producer Ace Enders?
