When he had his release for Mixtape About Nothing and 100 Miles and Running is was insanity. I suggest you all come out to this if you’re in the area. Generally, Highline is 18 and packed with a solid crowd. I’ll post ticket info when it becomes available.

Fresh off of their West Coast Opposite of Adults tour Chiddy Bang is taking cues from Wale’s motto #nodaysoff and hitting up the East Coast with The Swelly Life Tour.

Featuring Donnis, XV, 2am Club and DJ sets by DJ Benzi, the tour kicks off on August 4th in Pittsburgh, PA and ends on September 2nd in none other than Philly, PA.

I’ve posted two Chiddy Bang show reviews (read them here) and they’ve been stellar both times I’ve seen them live. Crazy energy. Ticket info after the jump:

Over the weekend, M.I.A. had a show at HARD Fest here in NYC, which, apparently, wound up sucking horribly. A mix of rain and a terrible performance pretty much killed the show. Well, she tweeted that she would be throwing a free show to make up for the performance:

fuck it! im gonna do a free show in nyc when i get back, tho i dont have powers over rain! if u still have the hard ticket u free! if u do me a lil dance , ill let u in too! xxxo

If interested, I would stay tuned, because I’m sure if it actually goes down, there will be free tickets given out to a lot more people than just those who have HARD Fest stubs.

2011 is their year. But check um out now!

On Saturday, September 25th, the Virgin Mobile FreeFest returns, this time with a lineup that crosses indie, hip-hop, and dance boundaries. The much controversial M.I.A., NYC alt-dance outfit LCD Soundsystem, and recently reunited indie legends Pavement will headline this year’s festivities.

Also on the 2010 bill are the recently freed T.I., Ludacris, Joan Jett, Thievery Corporation, Jimmy Eat World, Yeasayer, The Temper Trap, Matt & Kim, and Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeroes.

In addition to two main stages, this year’s festival will also feature a “dance forest,” which will feature the talents of Chromeo, Sleigh Bells, Die Antwoord, Modeselektor, and Neon Indian. What’s more, New Orleans based Trombone Shorty will lead a special second line march from stage to stage.

Free tickets to the free festival will be available starting Saturday, July 24th at 10 AM EST via Ticketfly.com. Virgin Mobile customers and previous Virgin Mobile Festival ticket holders from the past four years will be invited via text and email to a private “free-sale” (much like a pre-sale, except free) to be held Friday, July 23rd.

Ticketfly is waiving all service charges when fans pick up their FreeFest tickets at Merriweather or the 9:30 Club in Washington, D.C. or print the tickets at home. Customers also have the option to have their tickets delivered by mail for a nominal fee.

I really have no idea where Pembroke Pines is in Florida, but Rick Ross will be in the house at Best Buy for 3 HOURS (props for such a long meet and greet) to sign your album, take pictures and eat your children. He’ll be there from 5-8pm. For the big boys and girls, he’ll be celebrating his album release at King of Diamonds in Miami.

I just randomly came across this, but I wanted to post it up here because it looks like all you have to do to attend one of these shows is RSVP here. Tour stops & artists include: Miami (Trina), DC (Wale), Chicago (Twista & Clipse), LA (Three 6 Mafia), San Fran (To Be Announced), NYC (To Be Announced). The tour starts next Tuesday on the 27th in Miami and the events are 21+.

Like I said, it looks like all you have to do is hit the RSVP button for your respective tour stop and just fill in your info. Other than that, I’m not positive if there’s anything else you have to do. Seems easy enough though, right? Click below to check it out:

The industry will be out tonight for the official release party for Rick Ross. If you want, head over to Amnesia on the West Side to hit up the party. Should be pretty live. Details via Club Planet

Here’s the second leg of the ATL Stargazing Tour.  Head to Midtown Tavern tomorrow to check out a GREAT show from Aleon Craft, Weapons of Audio and many more. Only $5 bucks. Why not?

I have two tickets to give away to this event, so if you email me with ‘ATL’ in the subject with your full name, I can hook you up. Congrats to the winners.

CRUCIAL! At HHU, I pride myself in promoting up & coming talent – especially before the general public catches on. If you’ve been with the site for a few years throughout all the URL changes and things that have went down, you already know how we do here.

Chip tha Ripper is one of those artists that caught my attention a little while back, with the witty word play and ear for great beats. Since then, HHU has supported whenever possible and I thank Chip’s camp at SLAB UP for recognizing that. He’s touring the country with Kid Cudi, will be on the Moon Man’s upcoming album, collaborating with some of the best up & comers, but his crew still recognizes us. That’s real right there.

With that said, HHU is one of the promoters for Chip tha Ripper’s stop in NYC next Friday, as he prepares for his first solo gig ever in the big city that I call home. Aside from chip, up & comer Nero will open up the show and music will be provided by the great Terry Urban, Dot da Genius (Cudi’s resident producer/DJ) and Double-O of Kidz in the Hall. All I can say is, don’t be surprised if some MAJOR guests stop by to support Chip on stage………………….

Who: Chip tha Ripper, Nero, Double-O (Kidz in the Hall), Terry Urban, Dot da Genius

What: Chip tha Ripper’s first solo NYC show

Where: Santos Party House

96 Lafayette Street
New York, NY 10013
(212) 584-5492

When: Friday, July 23rd (7/23). Doors open all night from 6pm on, but Chip hits the stage at 11pm.

Admission: Tickets below, 18 to get in, 21 to drink

(scroll down, hit the link for the NYC show…or you can buy tickets the night of at the door)

DJ E-V posted this info on twitter the other day, but now here are the details for next week’s “free” show in Cleveland. The ways you can get tickets are the following:

1) Win Tickets on Kiss 96.5 fm
2) Purchase a $10 ticket online for STOMP For Ohio – Ohio’s Largest College Step Show or the Lee Evans Celebrity Flag Football Game – and that ticket will grant you entry.
3) Purchase an I am Ohio T-shirt
4) Come to Tower City and purchase tickets directly from the Ohio Homecoming Cart by the fountain.

I don’t believe MIA will be in attendance, but go and get some free music, drinks and take some pics. RSVP here.

Hey Live Nation, why don’t you make ticket prices and fees a little more accessible to the masses so they would have to stop canceling tours because no one can afford to buy tickets for them. Via Pollstar:

Our Top 100 Tours for the first six months have a combined gross of $965.5 million, down $196.8 million, or 17 percent, from the same period one year ago. If you want to find a lower number you’ll have to go back to 2005 when the mid-year gross volume was $730.9 million.

Any other reasons you think tour $$ is down? What can ticket brokers and other means of touring do to help boost revenue for the second part of 2010?
