As we previously reported, Pearl Jam was due to make a special announcement today. And they certainly did. The band, which had planned to play a couple of shows later this month, has confirmed a full North American tour, which will begin in October.

Ahead of his forthcoming album, Kiss Land, The Weeknd (aka Abel Tesfaye) has announced a U.S. tour which will begin in September. Australian electronic dance singer Anna Lunoe and L.A.-based singer-songwriter Banks will support Tesfaye on the new tour.

Ahead of their forthcoming debut album, Manchester art-pop quartet The 1975 has announced plans for their fall headlining tour in North America. The band is coming off a string of sold out shows in the U.S and the U.K., support dates with The Neighbourhood, a great showing at SXSW and success on both U.S. and U.K. charts as their singles "Chocolate" and "The City" continue to climb.
