Shaboozey Hits The Road This Fall For The Great American Roadshow Tour
The month-long trek begins in Indianapolis toward the end of September and will hit major cities such as Detroit, Philadelphia, New Orleans, and Houston before finishing up in Orlando on Oct. 16. There is currently no opener announced, but the tour is sponsored by Jack Daniels and Coors Light.
The artist pre-sale began on Tuesday (April 29) and tickets will be available for the general public on Friday (May 2) at 10 a.m. Check out the tour announcement below to see if the Virginia-born artist will hit a city near you.
The Great American Roadshow Tour is in support of Shaboozey's 2024 album, Where I've Been, Isn't Where I'm Going. Of course, it boasts the Billboard Hot 100 record-breaking chart topper 'A Bar Song (Tipsy),' which sampled J-Kwon's 'Tipsy.' Earlier this month, he shared a deluxe version of the album featuring Jelly Roll, Myles Smith, and Sierra Ferrell, headlined by his latest single 'Good News.'
The young star racked up five Grammy nominations, one of which was for his appearance on Beyoncé's 'Spaghetti.' That track, and his feature on 'Sweet / Honey / Buckin' both appeared on her country-inspired album Cowboy Carter and were major in helping Shaboozey's breakthrough. 'A Bar Song (Tipsy)' was nominated for Song Of The Year, Best Country Song, and Best Country Solo Performance, plus he was also in the mix for Best New Artist.
His newfound stardom landed him sets at Coachella and Stagecoach this month, and he will also perform at CMA Fest in Nashville in June and at the Osheaga Music and Arts Festival in Montreal in August. Listen to the deluxe version of Where I've Been, Isn't Where I'm Going below.

Michael Peregrine: 60 years ago, the Beatles invaded Comiskey Park
Before Beyoncé and Taylor Swift were John, Paul, George and Ringo. The Fab Four. The spearhead of the British Invasion. Then, and probably still now, the most popular rock 'n' roll band in the world. Wednesday is the 60th anniversary of the Beatles' performance at Comiskey Park. You read that right — the Lads from Liverpool played at the Baseball Palace of the World in Bridgeport, not at the future national historical landmark at Clark and Addison streets. With the band's popularity at global proportions, the event at the time was one of the most anticipated musical performances in Chicago history. The actual performance was the rock 'n' roll equivalent of a day-night doubleheader. The band appeared in the afternoon before a crowd of 25,000 people and again in the evening before 37,000. Note that the White Sox were then averaging only about 14,000 fans per game. The Beatles had arrived in Chicago red-hot, in the middle of a wildly popular national tour that began with the famous concert in New York's Shea Stadium. They were riding the crest of popularity from multiple No. 1 hits, and the release, only a few days earlier, of their second movie, 'Help!' Their journey to the Comiskey concert was typical of the bedlam that accompanied their performances. Band members were flying into Chicago from Houston, the site of their most recent concert. According to news reports, they were not allowed to land at O'Hare airport due to the authorities' concern that their presence, and the associated fan attention, might play havoc on airport operations. They were diverted to Midway and had to make an arduous cross-town drive to their accommodations at the Sahara Inn North at 3939 Mannheim Road, next to O'Hare, where they had stayed during an initial 1964 visit to Chicago. According to news reports, band management had avoided prime downtown hotels for security purposes. Yet their plan was reportedly betrayed by leaks from the hotel staff, which quickly led to pandemonium. Throngs of young fans swarmed the hotel, forcing the band to leave through a back corridor, an ongoing occupational hazard for the Beatles. According to the Beatles' recorded history, the Comiskey Park set list was a familiar one to fans of the band's early years: a short version of 'Twist and Shout,' followed by 'She's a Woman,' 'I Feel Fine.' 'Dizzy Miss Lizzy,' 'Ticket To Ride,' 'Everybody's Trying To Be My Baby,' 'Can't Buy Me Love,' 'Baby's in Black,' 'Act Naturally,' 'A Hard Day's Night,' 'Help!' and 'I'm Down.' It's a fair bet that a large percentage of Chicago baby boomers could sing the lyrics to each of those songs on a moment's notice. In many ways, the summer of 1965 represented the height of Beatlemania and the hair-pulling, foot-stomping, stage-crashing euphoria that it typified. The band would, of course, go on to greater commercial and artistic success and acclaim. But it was changing, the times were changing and the music was changing, too. 'Rubber Soul' and 'Revolver' arrived in late 1965 and early 1966, respectively. 'Sgt. Pepper' and 'Magical Mystery Tour' followed in 1967. The Beatles stopped touring at the end of 1966 and disbanded in 1970, which makes the Comiskey Park concert a unique moment in time. Every generation is entitled to its own form of musical rapture. For the baby boomers, it was — and remains — Beatlemania. And it lives on though films such as Martin Scorsese's 'Beatles '64' and Disney's 'Let it Be'; through documentaries such as 'McCartney 3,2,1'; through two new books about Ringo Starr; and through Ringo and Paul McCartney's constant touring. And the indefatigable McCartney is expected to pack the United Center for his Nov. 24 and 25 concerts. Old Comiskey Park is of course gone now; they paved that paradise and put up a parking lot. But the location of home plate has been preserved in a faithfully created marble marker, inlaid in the surface of the lot just north of the new Rate Field, by Gate 5 in Lot B at the northeast corner of 35th Street and Shields Avenue. So the next time you're at a Sox game, go over and stand in at the home plate marker. Look to the northeast toward an imaginary second base, where the Beatles' stage was once set up and where the band stood in its classic formation. Then close your eyes for a second and believe in yesterday. When you were just 17. You know what I mean.

Alex Warren's 'Ordinary' actually is the song of the summer — but nobody wants to admit it
According to the charts, Alex Warren's hit single "Ordinary" is the undisputed song of the summer. The song has reigned at No. 1 on the Hot 100 for nine weeks, but fans and critics remain unenthused. The love song has taken off on pop radio and is perfect fodder for relationship montages on TikTok. Where is this year's song of the summer? It's the question that's haunted road trippers and pool partiers for months now. But like so many low-stakes mysteries, the answer has been hiding in plain sight (or, in this case, earshot) all along. If we're going with cold, hard facts — Billboard chart data — there's one song that's dominated the airwaves as the weather has warmed. It's just that a soaring love ballad a 24-year-old TikToker wrote about his wife is not exactly the ideal soundtrack for your day at the beach. Released in February, Alex Warren's "Ordinary" took a few months to take off, becoming a bona fide commercial juggernaut by June, when it ascended to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. It's remained atop the all-genre chart for nine weeks so far, and continues to dominate Billboard's Songs of the Summer chart, where it hasn't budged from its No. 1 position since Memorial Day. Though it makes every attempt to sound momentous, "Ordinary" is a love song that's true to its name. Dedicated to Warren's wife, Kouvr Annon, the song uses vaguely spiritual lyrics to describe their connection. His vocals backed by hymnal echoes and a pounding drum line, Warren insists "the angels up in the clouds are jealous" of his marital bliss and compares his wife to a sanctuary, a vineyard, and a sculptor. If the song's theme of divine love wasn't clear enough, the couple also costars in the music video, and Warren later released a "wedding version" of the song paired with footage from their real-life nuptials. That the song is generically gooey has worked to its advantage in the airplay department. "Ordinary" owes much of its longevity to companies like iHeartMedia, America's biggest radio network, which allocates tens of thousands of spins to the song each week. In its most recent week atop the Hot 100, "Ordinary" tallied over 73 million radio airplay audience impressions, according to Billboard, compared to only 12.4 million streams and 6,000 copies sold. The song's lack of specificity also makes it a broadly appealing soundtrack for lovey-dovey moments on TikTok, where both versions of "Ordinary" have been used in millions of videos with billions of cumulative views. Annon's own uses of the song, usually featuring sweet moments with Warren, frequently collect over 1 million likes. Call it the home court advantage: As a former YouTuber who joined Hype House, a flashy collective for big-name TikTokers, in 2020, Warren learned and then perfected the art of getting engagement. He and Annon briefly lived in the Los Angeles mansion together, constantly creating content, orchestrating David Dobrik-style pranks, and sharing glimpses of their lives together; Warren described the experience as "college, but for social media." "It helped me learn how to create content that resonates with an audience and can captivate people," he told Variety. Warren's self-conscious positioning as America's top new "wife guy" offers the media a tidy narrative to push while reporting on the song's success — and helps cement "Ordinary" as a favorite song choice for romantic montages and relationship content across the internet. But the differential between the song's commercial utility and its artistic value has perplexed critics and fans alike. "Genuinely WHO is listening to this," reads a recent tweet with over 27,000 likes. Even r/popheads, a Reddit community for recreational pop scholars whose self-appointed mission is to take the merits of the genre seriously, is full of cold contempt for the song's dominance. "I don't think you can deeply hate the song by itself," one commenter wrote, "because it's so fucking boring." Rolling Stone's Larisha Paul coined the phrase "'The Voice' Audition Core" to characterize the musical formula that "Ordinary" follows: ideal for soundtracking a throwaway emotional moment on reality TV, but devoid of any real personality. Indeed, Warren performed the song on the "Love Is Blind" season eight reunion special, slotting easily into a generic vision of happily ever after literally accompanied by a montage of couples. Still, there's no denying that "Ordinary" is the summer's defining hit. Remaining atop the Hot 100 for over two months is no small feat, and even as late-season challengers have emerged — most recently in the form of a fictional K-pop group from a Netflix film — there isn't enough time before the autumnal equinox for another song to challenge Warren's reign. It's just a shame that many excellent summertime jams actually have been released this year, they just lacked the radio push or market power to challenge "Ordinary" at the top of the charts. Addison Rae is Warren's fellow former TikToker-turned-singer, but the similarities end there; her cool-girl collaborators and creative curiosity resulted in a debut album, "Addison," that toes the line between nostalgic and eccentric. (The appropriately named "Summer Forever" is a standout.) Lorde's latest album, "Virgin," includes gems like "Shapeshifter" and "Favorite Daughter," which wrap arresting lyrics in melodic, highly accessible packages, the ghost of last year's "Brat summer" hovering on the margins. Care for something a little less personal, a little more irreverent? Tinashe and Disco Lines have you covered with the freshly remixed "No Broke Boys." And forget song of the summer, Haim's "Relationships" may be the song of the year. Danielle Haim and her sisters manage to spin the agony of indecision into flippant, funky magic. As the season winds down, a new Taylor Swift album draws closer, and the charts begin to change shape, may "Ordinary" serve as a reminder that summer trends may disappoint or underwhelm — but they never last forever.

Memoir from Oct. 7 hostage Eli Sharabi will reveal shocking abuse — and unimaginable news he learned after his release
The harrowing memoir of Eli Sharabi, who endured 491 days in Hamas captivity, will be released in English on October 7 — the second anniversary of the terror group's brutal 2023 attack on Israel. 'Hostage,' first published in Hebrew earlier this year, has become the fastest-selling book in Israeli history, offering a powerful firsthand account of Sharabi's kidnapping from Kibbutz Be'eri and the discovery that his wife and children had been killed. He endured starvation, isolation, beatings and psychological abuse at the hands of his captors. The Post can exclusively reveal the cover of the book, published by Harper Influence, an imprint of HarperCollins. Advertisement Until his release in February, Sharabi was fueled by the desire to be reunited with his British-born wife, Lianne, and daughters, Noiya, 16, and Yahel, 13 — only to discover they had been killed by Hamas terrorists, and that his brother Yossi died in captivity. 7 Sharabi was held hostage by Hamas for almost 500 days. AP 7 Sharabi's captors shot his dog and killed his wife, Lianne (right), and teenage daughters Yahel (second from left) and Noiya. Instagram / @eli_is_home_bring_yossi_back Advertisement 'When I came back and hear that they were murdered five minutes after I was kidnapped, I can't understand the situation and I demand answers,' he told N12 in June. 'I want to see them, I want to hug them, I want to draw strength from them, I want to show them that I'm okay, that I'm no longer a poster.' 7 The publisher said the cover photo 'reveals the eyes of a man who has seen the darkest depths of hell, but refuses to give up.' Sharabi has said his time in Gaza was spent enduring Hamas' cruelty while 164 feet underground, his body wrapped in 'chains so tight, they ripped my skin,' alongside fellow hostages Alon Ohel and Or Levy. Advertisement He was emaciated and weighed a mere 97 pounds at the time of his release. Speaking before the UN Security Council in New York in March, Sharabi told world leaders that Hamas has ransacked the aid meant for hostages and Gaza's civilian population, enjoying the spoils while everyone around them suffers. 7 Sharabi was taken from his home at Kibbutz Be'eri, much of which was destroyed in the attacks. Getty Images 'Hamas eats like kings, while hostages starve,' said Sharabi, whose appearance shocked the world when he was released back in February. Advertisement Sharabi said Hamas would only give him 'a piece of pita' bread to eat, along with 'a sip of tea.' As he endured brutal beatings and relentless mockery from the terrorists, Sharabi said his will was nearly broken when Hamas terrorists laughed just before his release as they broke the news that his brother, Yossi, had been killed in captivity. 7 In front of the UN Security Council, Sharabi described being chained, beaten and starved by his captors. Getty Images 'It was like they brought a massive hammer down on me,' Sharabi told the UN. He was ultimately released as part of the first phase of a cease-fire deal that saw 29 other hostages and the bodies of eight Israelis returned to the country. 'I wrote the book to reach people, to give back, to show that no matter how difficult it is, you can always choose, no matter what cards life deals you, it is in your hands, always, in every moment, the choice to die, and the choice to live,' he previously said, according to the Jerusalem Post. 7 Sharabi (center, with his brother Sharon and a sister) was released in February along with two other hostages. He weighed less than 100 pounds. Israel Gpo/UPI/Shutterstock Advertisement 7 US President Trump compared Sharabi (second from left) and other former hostages to 'Holocaust survivors' after the trio was freed. Instagram / @ Harper Influencer publisher and SVP Lisa Sharkey said the picture on the front cover of the English version 'reveals the eyes of a man who has seen the darkest depths of hell, but refuses to give up. 'They say a picture is worth a thousand words. This photo of Eli Sharabi, moments before his release, looking frail, gaunt, starved, and deeply afraid, this picture shows the 491 days of heartbreak he spent in captivity, after being kidnapped by the Hamas terrorists who murdered his family on October 7,' she said.
