TODAY Show Announces 2017 Summer Concert Series

Leave a comment

The TODAY Show just announced their annual Summer concert series performers and this year they’ve got some HUGE names coming to the plaza to perform all Summer long!  They’re no strangers to getting the biggest names in music to perform and this year is no different.  Past artists include 5SOS, Dierks Bentley, Shawn Mendes, Celine Dion, Charlie Puth, Fifth Harmony, Fall Out Boy, Nicki Minaj, Hunter Hayes, Jason Aldean, Puff Daddy, and Meghan Trainor.

All concerts take place live from Rockefeller Plaza outside of the TODAY show studios in NYC.  If you plan on attending, we suggest showing up no later than 5am  as there is usually a crowd and entry is not guaranteed even with a Fan Pass. All concerts take place between 7am and 9am and most of the time, you’ll get to see the artists soundcheck as well!

TODAY Show fan passes are available by signing up for the TodayShow newsletter and are the best way to experience these early morning sing alongs.  These passes get you closer to your favorite artists and let’s face it, you’ll always remember that morning when Niall/Harry/Thomas Rhett/Joe Jonas/Halsey serenaded you – not that Wednesday or Friday that you were so well rested for work/school.

Sign up for fan passes HERE and we’ll see you out on the plaza!!  Check out the full line up below.

5SOS, Boys We Like, Music

5SOS Rock The Today Show!

Leave a comment

Tuesday was an awesome day to be a 5SOS fan:  the Aussie band’s debut album FINALLY got released in the US!   AND they had a rockin’ performance on The Today Show!  Ashton, Michael, Luke, and Calum were full of energy and they definitely showed the Today Show that they’re not just a teen sensation – they are talented musicians.  Rockefeller Center was packed with 5SOS fans in one of the largests Today Show crowds we’ve ever seen!  Someone even brought out a giant Will Smith face for the occasion that didn’t go unnoticed by the guys.

5 Seconds Of Summer performed three fan favorites on the TODAY Show!  Watch the videos for each below!

The band’s US album debut is something that is going to bring back the pop-punk to the youth of America.  It’s exactly the right blend of  Maryland’s own All Time Low and Good Charlotte, and the UK’s McFly and Busted.

If you’re reading this, you probably don’t need to be reminded but you can get 5SOS’s debut album on iTunes now!  Or head to Target and get their exclusive edition in your favorite color (Or all 4.  We don’t judge).

Leave a comment

After months of anticipation, we finally have a confirmed release date for AJR‘s debut album!  “Living Room” will be released on September 30th by Warner Brothers Records & AJR Productions.   Why “Living Room?”  Brothers Adam, Jack and Ryan Met wrote, produced, mixed, and recorded the entire album from their living room in Chelsea.

The band shared the news on Twitter, so their fans would be the first to know.

We’re hoping it includes crowd favorites like “Alice By The Hudson,” “The Green and The Town,” and “Married On a Hill.”  And of course we can’t wait to hear some new tracks!

**UPDATE: “Living Room” has been pushed back to 2015, but AJR are releasing the “Infinity” EP in the meantime, out 9/23!  Check out a message from the guys below:
