Billie Eilish among upcoming New Orleans concerts
Billie Eilish, Mumford & Sons and the Anderson .Paak and Knxledge duo known as NxWorries are all heading to New Orleans on upcoming tour dates.
Why it matters: Your fall plans just got busier.
Here's a quick look at when these tours land here:
Mumford & Sons stops in Woldenberg Park on Aug. 3 as part of a tour along U.S. railroads. Trombone Shorty is part of the "house band" for the concert series. (A similar tour in 2011 ended in New Orleans and was the subject of a documentary.) Tickets.
NxWorries, which is the duo of Anderson .Paak and Knxwledge, stops at the Fillmore on Oct. 6. The pair released "Why Lawd?" together last year. Tickets.
Billie Eilish's sold-out Hit Me Hard and Soft tour added two nights at the Smoothie King Center on Nov. 7 and Nov. 8. An American Express presale begins Tuesday at noon. General tickets go on sale Thursday at noon. Details.
It's not clear yet which New Orleans shows will be part of the promotion, which officially launches May 21, though some customers will get early access.

Billie Eilish's Most Recent Album Jumps 3,100% In Sales
Billie Eilish's Hit Me Hard and Soft (Isolated Vocals) surges 3,100% in U.S. sales, reentering ... More Billboard's Vinyl Albums and Top Album Sales charts at new high points.

(Photo by Gilbert Flores/Billboard via Getty Images) In November 2024, Billie Eilish joined dozens of other well-known musicians in releasing a special project for Record Store Day. The singer-songwriter unveiled the vinyl edition of Hit Me Hard and Soft (Isolated Vocals), the a cappella version of her latest full-length effort. The project quickly became a bestseller in the United States, though only for a single week. Fans rapidly purchased the several thousand available copies, after which the collection vanished. Now, months later, the title has made a remarkable comeback — and this time, it's bigger than ever. In the past tracking frame, Luminate reports that Hit Me Hard and Soft (Isolated Vocals) sold 5,100 copies throughout the U.S. In the previous period, the set managed fewer than 200. Those numbers mark a staggering growth of more than 3,100% in just a few days. The uptick in pure sales comes after Hit Me Hard and Soft (Isolated Vocals) became widely available once again. Eilish began selling the a cappella set on her website, and those dedicated supporters who missed out in late 2024 began snapping up the release in the thousands. Now, the collection has quickly become a top performer on several Billboard rankings in the U.S. Hit Me Hard and Soft (Isolated Vocals) returns to two charts this week. The project reenters the Vinyl Albums tally at No. 5, where it is one of Eilish's half-dozen top 10s on that list. It also nearly breaks into the top 10 on the Top Album Sales chart, settling at No. 12. Both of those two placements represent new high points for Hit Me Hard and Soft (Isolated Vocals). It's also worth noting that the set has now spent just two weeks on each of those rosters. While Hit Me Hard and Soft (Isolated Vocals) surges, the standard version of the album is largely declining this week. It drops on four of the six Billboard tallies on which it appears, though it does manage to once again lead both the Top Rock & Alternative Albums and Top Alternative Albums charts.

My Least Favorite Trend to Come Out of Pride This Year? Old-School Biphobia
Like any member of the LGBTQ+ community, I love nothing more than a good gay joke. When I identified as a lesbian, my stock-in-trade was Subaru bits (hacky, yes, but I did actually own one…until I crashed it); and once I came out as bi, I found my way to comfort within my new sexual identity by trading bits with other bisexuals about wearing Doc Martens, sitting backwards in chairs, and whatever the hell else it is that we allegedly do besides, you know, being open to dating people of all genders. All this is to say that it's not easy to offend me when it comes to intra-community gay joshing. But some of the jokes—and, worse, genuine expressions of outrage—that I've seen about queer celebrities JoJo Siwa and Billie Eilish lately have been genuinely infuriating. The gay rumor mill has been churning out a lot of gossip about Siwa allegedly dumping her nonbinary partner Kath Ebbs for her Celebrity Big Brother costar Chris Hughes, and now that Eilish has been spotted making out with actor Nat Wolff, a longtime friend of hers, it seems that absolutely everyone has an opinion on what these two very young, sexually fluid celebrities should be doing with their dating lives. Look, I was as excited as the next queer she/they when Siwa came out in 2021, and I rejoiced when Eilish sang about wanting to 'eat that girl for lunch.' Do I understand why it might feel mildly disappointing to see Siwa and Eilish out and about with cishet men? Sure! I've had enough crushes on bi girls who ended up choosing guys over me to fill a whole back catalog of Chappell Roan songs. But the social media (and IRL) discourse suggesting that Siwa and Eilish are doing something wrong—instead of embracing the concept that a couple of 20-somethings might be…gasp…attracted to people of different genders—also rubs me the wrong way as someone building a life with a trans man. The narrative that the only 'real' way to fulfill one's expectations as a queer woman is by dating people who share your gender identity is not just narrow-minded; it's an act of old-fashioned bi erasure. Bisexuality can mean anything we want it to (emphasis on 'we,' as in the actual bisexual community), and I choose to interpret it as—in the words of my friend Haley Jakobson—'horny for gender expansiveness.' I might be of gay-crone age compared to Siwa and Eilish, but I've lived enough queer life to know that my coming-out process may not be over. I could find myself identifying as a lesbian again someday, or as genderqueer, or as something else entirely, and I won't be any less gay or less valid for it. All I want this Pride is for that same grace to be extended to Siwa, Eilish, and the many, many queer people whose identities can't necessarily be distilled to a single word—or an individual partner.

Billy Jones, Baby's All Right Owner and Key Player in New York Music Scene, Dead at 45
Anyone who frequented the live music scene in New York over the last decade has a favorite story about Baby's All Right, the 280-seat club in Brooklyn's Williamsburg neighborhood. There was the night Billie Eilish, then 15, played songs from her first EP and a cover of Drake's 'Hotline Bling.' The time Mac DeMarco, with the help of some wine, wrote a 'theme song' for the club. Or the night Zoë Kravitz's band Lolawolf played a set to an audience that included her dad Lenny and Anne Hathaway. All those memories, and many more, are the legacy of Billy Jones, the club co-owner who died Saturday of what a spokesperson for the venue called 'a highly aggressive case of glioblastoma,' a malignant brain tumor. Jones was 45. More from Rolling Stone Wayne Lewis, Founding Member of Atlantic Starr, Dead at 68 George Wendt's Cause of Death Revealed Jonathan Joss, 'King of the Hill' Voice Actor, Fatally Shot at 59 Jones arrived in New York in 2002 after earning a degree in media arts at Salisbury University in Maryland. As Jones and others saw, a new generation of indie and dance artists was rising up and hungry for places to play. 'Chris from Grizzly Bear worked at a cafe on Bedford, and so did Kyp from TV on the Radio,' Jones said in an interview in 2023. 'It would be like, 'Maybe that was Karen O that walked by? I'm not quite sure.' … Whatever band would come out that week was like the best band ever.' Jones himself was lead singer in his own band, Other Passengers, in the 2000s and was a DJ. Looking back at those years, and the burgeoning Brooklyn music scene, he said in the same interview, 'There was a feeling of calm before the storm.' Jones established himself as a booker at city clubs like Pianos NYC, the Dance, and Sin-é (which, in an earlier incarnation, had fostered Jeff Buckley). In 2013, he and a business partner, Zachary Mexico, opened Baby's All Right, a combination bar, dining room, and performance space. With its astrology charts and shiny lighting, the club always felt a little otherworldly but quickly became a gathering spot for the Brooklyn and New York music community. Dev Hynes played a New Year's Eve party there, and the club also hosted early shows by SZA, Beach House, and Ariel Pink. Jones himself looked the part of an indie entrepreneur; one report described him as wearing 'denim bell bottoms with the messy haircut of a 20-something.' But he was also admirably ambitious. Just before the pandemic, he was hoping to open a Los Angeles version of Baby's All Right and also owned the recently closed Billy's Record Salon, a record store near the Brooklyn space. He also recently opened two new clubs in the city's East Village neighborhood: Night Club 101 and the jazz-leaning Funny Bar. As he told Rolling Stone in 2020 as the lockdown began, ''Everyone throws around the word 'resilient' right now. But there's got to be a way to do it.'
