The Marías’ María Zardoya unveiled her solo project Not For Radio last October with the release of the album Melt. Following a sold-out tour in the United States and the release of the Bloom EP, the singer headed to Europe and the UK for the “In The Forest Tour,” concluding with two nights at Le Casino de Paris.
The singer described the project as "another flower in the garden," an alternative reality in which she welcomed us all in.
The intricate stage design, with its mossy platform, many candlelights and flowing feathers, combined with the dreamy sounds of the artist, delivered an ethereal experience like none other, immersing the audience for one night in a magical forest inspired by Swan Lake. Divided into three acts of five songs each, Not For Radio performed songs off Melt and Bloom alike, as well as a new version of The Marías’ “No One Noticed.” Near the end of the night, María walked along the seats during “Ache,” sharing an intimate moment with her fans.
Tour might be over for Not For Radio, but they will be performing at a few festivals in North America over the summer.

Puscifer, the Los Angeles rock band led by Maynard James Keenan (Tool/A Perfect Circle) and which features long-time collaborators Carina Round and Mat Mitchell, brought their Normal Isn’t Tour to The Louisville Palace on April 21st, with comedian/actor/musician Dave Hill opening the show. The project is considered by Keenan be his creative subconscious, with each tour allowing the fans to dive into the world he creates with each album. This tour celebrates the band’s latest album Normal Isn’t, which was released on Februaury 6th. The album sees Keenan appear as his goth alter ego Bellendia Black and Round as Fannie Grey, with both performing in their costumes and make-up and playing out a tension between the two on stage, with each of them mid-set shooting at each other with toy guns. There were a few moments like this throughout the set, with Keenan and Round engaging in humorous antics, with the crowd loving every moment. The very start of the set saw a video play with Keenan and Round, acting as their alter-egos, telling the crowd to keep their phones put away and that taking photos or video was strictly prohibited. In a bit of cheeky humor, with which the fans were good sports about, they asked the crowd three times to repeat “We understand” in response to the rule. And from what I could tell, no one violated the rule throughout the evening. It’s a rare occurance, but a refreshing one, to attend a concert where no one has their phones out and are fully engaged with the performance!
The stage was set up with two platforms at the back, one on each side, and a set of stairs running down the middle, allowing Round and Kennan to alternate between standing on the platforms and moving about the front of the stage. The lighting was really nice, with the different colors and tones almost matching the tension of the performance. Sometimes the lighting was deeper and had harsher tones and sometimes it was a bit brighter or softer. Throughout the set, the screen behind the stage was lit up with different colorful representations of the Puscifer logo, as well as a pre-recorded video skit which played into the theme and alter-egos of the tour. It also alerted the crowd when it was time for a brief intermission. The extensive 18-song set was heavy on songs from the new album, as well as some older favorites such as “Bullet Train to Iowa”, “The Arsonist”, “Conditions Of My Parole”, “Momma Sed”. The band ended the night with “A Public Stoning”, which saw Dave Hill return to the stage to join in. Puscifer always puts on a great show with an incredible and creative stage production, giving their fans an experience they won’t soon forget! And what an experience it is, getting to take a dive into Keenan’s creative subconscious for a bit!

If you haven’t been to a Hives show, you’re missing out. And if you have, you already know that once is never enough. That much was clear Monday night, when a packed crowd at The Fillmore Philadelphia braved rain and even a tornado watch just to be in the room.
Our favorite Swedes, The Hives, arrived impeccably dressed in support of their latest album, The Hives Forever Forever The Hives. Clad in suits lined with white LED strips, they quite literally lit up the stage, glowing against a backdrop of massive inflatable balls spelling out H-I-V-E-S… because subtlety has never been their thing.
A Hives show is equal parts explosive rock ‘n’ roll and razor-sharp banter, and the balance is exactly what makes it work. Frontman Pelle Almqvist is nothing short of magnetic, repeatedly insisting it was actually Saturday night (because in Philly, a Monday can feel like one). Between songs, he doubled down on the band’s long-standing, tongue-in-cheek claim: that The Hives are the greatest band in the world – and will be forever. While Pelle Almqvist commanded center stage, he regularly leapt beyond the barrier to mingle with lucky front-row fans, turning the performance into something far more personal. The rest of The Hives matched that energy without hesitation. Guitarists Niklas Almqvist and Vigilante Carlstroem delivered a relentless stream of sharp, electrifying riffs, all while urging the crowd to move, shout, and somehow get even louder. While stage-named The Johan and Only and Chris The Dangerous held things down from the back, their tight, driving rhythm anchored the chaos – effortlessly pulling everything together into a raucous, electrifying evening.
As the crowd danced, thrashed, and jumped along, The Hives tore through their catalog with relentless intensity. Fittingly, they closed the night with ‘The Hives Forever Forever The Hives’, a final, triumphant burst of energy.
And even as fans spilt back out onto the rain-soaked streets, the chant of “The Hives Forever!” echoed on, lingering well beyond the final note.

Ruel returned stateside in support of his latest album, Kicking My Feet. After a rescheduled show due to a large snowstorm the evening before, the show went on as expected, with a packed house at the Theatre of Living Arts in Philly on Tuesday night. UK’s Arthur Hill warmed up the stage with his unique pop-infused tunes. Once Ruel emerged from his portal to the stage, the crowd lit up with excitement. Despite Ruel mentioning being sick and the energy not being 100%, he still delivered a vocally flawless show that spanned his catalogue. The set included a collection of solo tracks dedicated to his mom and a new earworm, “Don’t Say That”, which the crowd already seemed to know all the words to after it’s made its way across the internet.

British singer Holly Humberstone brought her Cruel World European Tour to a close at Les Etoiles in Paris, France.
Just two months before the release of her second album, titled Cruel World, Holly Humberstone travelled Europe on a sold-out tour. Rather than bringing her entire band with her, the singer chose to perform more intimate shows, with solely Seth Tackberry accompanying her on the keyboard.
Opening the show with her latest single, “To Love Somebody,” Holly created a setlist delightfully mixing older fan favorites, like “Scarlett” and “Deep End,” and unreleased songs from her upcoming album. She wrote most of the latter on a small writers’ retreat in London with her opening act, Woody. Amongst those were “Beauty Pageant," "Lucy"—dedicated to her sister—and the eponymous “Cruel World”. Holly then went on to introduce the last unreleased song, “White Noise,” which she wrote in Nashville and described as a pop song with an infusion of country. The live version was a lot calmer than the studio one, given the lack of a band, and one thing’s for sure: fans can’t wait to hear it and dance to it.
Before closing the show with “Dive,” Holly teased another tour in Europe in the following fall, with a full band this time.
Holly Humberstone will next go on a small, intimate tour in the UK before heading to the US for a two-month-long tour, starting off with a bang at Coachella. Her second album, Cruel World, will be released on the 10th of April.

Canadian band The Beaches took over the beautiful Élysée-Montmartre in Paris for their No Hard Feelings tour.
Almost three years since their last concert in France, The Beaches finally came back to the capital, going from a small 300 capacity venue to 1400 people, with fans travelling from all over the world. The energy from the crowd was through the roof before the band even came onstage, with a pre-show playlist turning the venue into a massive sing-along.
Mixing songs from their latest album with older hits such as “Everything is Boring” or “Blame Brett”, The Beaches performed for more than an hour to the cheers of the fans. Their crowd work is impeccable, from bringing a fan onstage to share a story as a way of introducing their song “Did I Say Too Much”, or lead singer Jordan Miller getting in the crowd to dedicate “Jocelyn” to a lucky fan.
The No Hard Feelings tour is far from being over, as The Beaches will next head onto the UK leg of the trip before going to Australia; if you have the opportunity to see them live, it is clear you should not miss it.
