Posted on by

jimmy-eat-worldJimmy Eat World are taking Bleed American back on the road.

The band announced a North American and U.K. tour celebrating the album’s 25th anniversary, kicking off June 9 at Red Rocks in Colorado and running through November, with a stop at Vans Warped Tour in Orlando. It marks their return to Warped after 25 years.

The run includes headline dates across the U.S. and Canada, plus three U.K. shows in August, culminating in what’s being billed as their biggest U.K. headlining gig yet at London’s Gunnersbury Park.

On this tour, the band plans to play Bleed American in full, along with additional material. Released in 2001, the album became their breakthrough, driven by “The Middle,” which has since crossed a billion streams on Spotify. The record helped define early-2000s alternative rock and has remained a touchstone for bands that followed.

Select dates will feature support from Rise Against, Sunny Day Real Estate, Thrice, Motion City Soundtrack, The Get Up Kids, PUP, and others.

Presales begin February 11, with general tickets on sale February 13.

Dear Lara World Premieres at Santa Barbara International Film Festival

Posted on by

dear-lara-posterThe documentary Dear Lara makes its world premiere tonight, February 6, at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival.

The film is directed by violinist Lara St. John and centers on her decision to publicly speak in 2019 about being sexually assaulted as a teenager while studying at the Curtis Institute of Music. After her account was published in The Philadelphia Inquirer, St. John received messages from musicians around the world who shared similar experiences.

The documentary follows St. John as she meets with some of those individuals across North America and Europe. The film focuses on personal accounts from musicians who describe abuse, institutional inaction, and the professional consequences of speaking out within the classical music world.

Dear Lara is St. John’s first feature as a director. She also serves as a cinematographer on the film alongside Patrick Hamm, who produced the project. The film includes original music by St. John and is edited by Christie Herring. Blood Sweat Honey is handling sales.

Following the screening, St. John will participate in a panel discussion alongside several of the documentary’s featured subjects. The film is supported by partnerships with advocacy organizations, including Child USA, and is intended for future screenings at festivals, universities, and music institutions.

ZAYN Is Taking KONNAKOL on the Road

Posted on by

zayn-tourThe singer just announced The KONNAKOL Tour, a 31-date run that will take him across the UK, North America, South America, and Mexico. It’s his largest solo tour to date and the first time he’s headlining arenas and stadiums on this scale.

The tour kicks off May 12 in Manchester and stretches through November, wrapping in Miami. Stops include London, Los Angeles, Mexico City, and São Paulo, among others. It follows his recent Las Vegas residency, where he quietly tested out unreleased material from KONNAKOL and reminded people how strong his live presence still is.

The timing isn’t accidental. ZAYN’s fifth studio album, KONNAKOL, arrives April 17, and its lead single, “Die For Me,” drops tomorrow. The project leans into broader cultural influences while circling back to the melodic instincts that defined Mind of Mine. It feels less like a reset and more like a sharpening. This tour also lands after a steady run over the past year. Room Under the Stairs earned strong reviews, and his collaboration with BLACKPINK’s Jisoo, “Eyes Closed,” performed well globally and picked up a 2026 iHeartRadio Music Award nomination.

Tickets go on sale February 13, with presales starting earlier in the week. See here for more information.

SFFILM Will Close Its 69th Festival With The Empire Strikes Back at the Castro

Posted on by

luke-skywalker-and-darth-vaderSFFILM already has its Closing Night set, and it lands right on May the Fourth.

The 69th San Francisco International Film Festival will wrap on Monday, May 4 with a screening of Star Wars: Episode V, The Empire Strikes Back at the newly renovated Castro Theatre. The event is being presented with Lucasfilm and Another Planet Entertainment, and it doubles as a high-profile moment for the Castro as it reopens its doors to major public screenings.

After the film, Anthony Daniels, best known as C-3PO, will take the stage for a conversation with longtime Lucasfilm executive Howard Roffman, who spent decades helping shape the franchise’s reach well beyond the movies themselves.

It’s an on-the-nose choice in the best way. Empire remains the most emotionally grounded film in the series, and San Francisco’s connection to Star Wars runs deeper than most cities, with Lucasfilm’s history rooted just across the bay. Putting it in the Castro, freshly restored and unapologetically theatrical, feels right.

Closing Night begins at 7:00 pm, with tickets available first to SFFILM members on February 4, followed by a general onsale on February 6. The full festival lineup will be announced April 1.

Lou Ferrigno Returns to the Screen in Backwoods Horror The Hermit

Posted on by

the-hermitLou Ferrigno is back on screen and stepping into new territory. The legendary actor best known for The Incredible Hulk makes his first-ever horror appearance in The Hermit, a backwoods thriller that leans dark, strange, and unapologetically grim.

Released by Uncork’d Entertainment, The Hermit arrives on Digital and On Demand March 3, following a Los Angeles premiere on March 2. Ferrigno stars as a reclusive pig farmer with a gruesome secret, selling jerky made from human flesh. It’s his first creature-style role in decades, and easily his most unsettling.

The film also stars Malina Weissman (A Series of Unfortunate Events) and Anthony Turpel (Love, Victor) as two teenagers whose vacation into the woods turns into a fight for survival. What starts as an uncomfortable trip quickly spirals into something far worse.

Directed by Salvatore Sclafani, The Hermit marks the filmmaker’s first English-language feature after his earlier work on Tyger Tyger. The tone walks a fine line between horror and dark absurdity, embracing its B-movie roots while pushing into more disturbing territory.

“I’ve always been a big fan of scary movies,” Ferrigno said in a statement. “I hope this one ends up on everyone’s must-watch list.”

The Hermit premieres March 3 on Digital and On Demand.
