Stagecoach has also continued to help lead the charge when it comes to diversifying the genre itself. The festival has remained true to its roots with a consistent Americana country nod, while also embracing the “Country Curious” and innovative new artists with examples such as Diplo, Lil Nas X, Post Malone and many others.  Again, while the festival still attracts traditional country fans with top headliners this year like Willie Nelson, Luke Grimes, Miranda Lambert, Morgan Wallen and others, the festival’s leadership team has also been equally intentional about curating increasingly diverse, non-traditional programming for “country curious” fans making it that much more of a unique experience with artists like Wiz Khalifa, Beach Boys, Leon Bridges, Nickelback, Diplo + Crew and others playing at Stagecoach this year.

Anti Social Camp, the world’s largest songwriting camp, is excited to announce the arrival of Anti Social Camp, Vol. 1. This is the first official compilation album of songs created at Anti Social Camp, set to be fully released on March 20, 2024 via Amuse. The tracklist will roll out gradually over the course of this month, with the first drop going live today. This initial wave of music consists of four previously-unreleased new tracks created at Anti Social Camp 2023. TT The Artist, BRUX, and Stalking Gia kick off the album with an electro-hip hop banger; indie artist Calica moves things along with an infectious guitar shoegazer; singer-songwriter AJ Smith goes big with an arena-sized pop anthem, and Caroline Bryne closes it out with her alternative dance textures. Altogether these artists paint a diverse spectrum of sounds, styles, and genres explored at Anti Social Camp.

The lack of transparency, ridiculous prices, and high fees are outrageous. No one wants to feel ripped off for something they love. Today's model has become all about inflating the market to the highest price possible and to charge fees as much as 45%. Toss another $18.00 for shipping. DAMN. That hurts. Then you receive the tickets from who? IDK. Some random broker or scalper?

With the start of each new year comes a fresh chance to shine a light on important issues and that is exactly what rock veterans Papa Roach are doing. I’d love to set up an interview with the band to chat about their “Leave A Light On (Talk Away The Dark)” campaign in support of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. The band launched the campaign late last year while on tour with Shinedown, when they pledged a portion of ticket sales from each show directly to the AFSP. These donations were made in support of their "Talk Away The Dark" initiative, which teaches people how to look for the warning signs for suicide and how to have a conversation that could save a life. Papa Roach concluded the tour with the release of “Leave A Light On (Talk Away the Dark)” - including a moving live video comprised of clips from throughout the tour - and a staggering $155k donation to the AFSP.
