SUMMARY:The Offspring & Sum 41
DESCRIPTION:THE OFFSPRING and SUM 41 have announced a Canadian tour with special guests DINOSAUR PILE-UP that will kick off November 12 at the Scotiabank Centre in Halifax\, NS.

The band has been recording with Grammy-winning producer Bob Rock in between extensive tours on a yet-to-be-titled album – their first since 2012’s ‘Days Go By’ and their third consecutive release with Rock\, who also produced 2008’s ‘Rise and Fall\, Rage and Grace.’  2019 marks two important milestones for the Southern California-based group\, including the 35th anniversary of their formation and the 25th anniversary of 1994’s landmark album\, ‘Smash.’ Since its debut\, ‘Smash’ has sold over 10 million copies and remains the highest-selling indie album of all time. The band\, who is currently touring overseas\, just wrapped a North American run that included Vans Warped Tour 25thAnniversary shows. Their high-octane performance at the recent Atlantic City date drew praise from Brooklyn Vegan\, who wrote\, “they’ve really got a lot of hits and they still have the energy\, the attitude and the nasally sneer needed to deliver. The Offspring’s classics are embedded into punk’s DNA at this point. If you care about this kind of music\, they’ve probably impacted you either directly or indirectly. And they still bring it.” \nSum 41 are celebrating the chart success of their most recent release\, Order In Decline (Hopeless Records) and have locked in spots at #2 on the Top 200\, #1 Rock and #1 Hard Music on the Canadian album charts. The success continued worldwide with #2 spots on both the US Current Rock and Hard Music Album Charts\, #3 on the US Alternative Charts\, #8 on the US Top Current Albums charts\, as well as a #2 spot on the UK Rock & Metal Charts. Order In Decline is available to stream and purchase via Hopeless Records at http://smarturl.it/OrderInDecline. The lead single from the album\, “Out For Blood\,” landed the band in the Top 10 of the Canadian Active Rock Radio share and currently holds the #7 spot.  The single peaked at #1 on Sirius XM Octane and has been added to numerous streaming playlists. \nABOUT THE OFFSPRING\nOver the course of their remarkable career\, The Offspring have performed over a thousand shows to packed-house crowds across the globe.  They’ve hit the Top 5 of the Billboard Top 200 Albums Chart 4 times and their last single\, Coming For You\, marked the 27th Billboard Alternative Songs entry for The Offspring\, tying them with R.E.M. for sixth place among acts with the most visits since the chart began in 1988. They join an elite group led by U2\, Pearl Jam\, Green Day\, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Foo Fighters. The Offspring have written and recorded a plethora of blockbuster radio hits\,  including “Self Esteem” (176 million Spotify streams and 36 million YouTube views) “The Kids Aren’t Alright” (232 million Spotify\, 63 million YouTube)\, “Pretty Fly (For A White Guy)” (153 million Spotify\, 12 million YouTube) and “You’re Gonna Go Far\, Kid” (281 million Spotify\, 34 million YouTube)\, among many others. Along the way\, they’ve sold over 40 million albums (including more than 11 million copies of 2005’s ‘Americana’) and have racked up billions of streams. \nABOUT SUM 41\nSum 41 consists of five members including Deryck Whibley\, lead guitarist/backing vocalist Dave Brownsound\, co-lead guitarist/backing vocalist Tom Thacker\, bassist/backing vocalist Cone McCaslin and drummer Frank Zummo. After selling more than 15 million records worldwide\, a Grammy Award nomination\, 2 Juno Awards (and 7 nominations)\, a Kerrang! Award in 2002\, as well as multiple Alternative Press Music Awards\, Sum 41 is quite simply a rock band – uncompromising and honest with no intention of slowing down.

SUMMARY:Cheech & Chong
DESCRIPTION:Iconic comedy duo Cheech & Chong defined an era with their hilariously irreverent\, satirical\, counter-culture comedy routines. Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong have been entertaining fans for more than four decades and are ready to celebrate recent updates to Canadian legislation with their new O Cannabis Tour which will hit 14 markets across the country this fall\, including Penticton on October 9th. \nWith nine albums released from 1972 through 1985\, Cheech and Chong were nominated for four Grammy Awards\, winning the Grammy Award for Best Comedy Album with their third album\, Los Cochinos\, released in 1973. Big Bambu\, their second album\, was the biggest selling comedy record of all time in 1972 and remained so for many years. Their stunningly successful comedy streak transitioned to film in 1978 with their first movie\, “Up In Smoke\,” the highest grossing comedy of 1978\, topping $100 million at the box office. Cheech and Chong co-wrote and starred in a total of eight feature films together\, all directed by Chong. \nCheech Marin is a paradox in the world of entertainment. Cheech is an actor\, director\, writer\, musician\, art collector\, and humanitarian\, a man who has enough talent\, humor\, and intelligence to do just about anything. He is truly a multi-generational star\, having starred in films like Born In East L.A. and Tin Cup\, and on televisions shows like Nash Bridges and Jane The Virgin. \nTommy Chong began his entertainment career as a musician in a Canadian-based rhythm and blues band. Eventually\, he landed a gig with the “Vancouvers” and co-wrote the band’s 1960s hit\, “Does Your Mama Know About Me.” Chong then turned towards the life of an actor and appeared in several films including National Lampoon’s Senior Trip. Chong has also starred\, most notably\, on “That 70’s Show\,” and guest starred on “Dharma & Greg” and “The George Lopez Show.” \nTickets for the O Cannabis Tour  are $55.00\, $69.50\, $85.00 and $125.00* and will go on sale Friday\, April 26 at 10:00AM PST. Tickets can be purchased in person at the Valley First Box Office\, over the phone at 1-877-763-2849 or online HERE.

SUMMARY:Ghost with Nothing More
DESCRIPTION:With “Dance Macabre” becoming the band’s third #1 single at rock radio\, Grammy award-winning artist Ghost announces a six-week North American headline tour that will see the Swedish rock band’s elaborate rock theatre presentation metamorphose into a full-on arena production. \nProduced by Live Nation and billed as the “Ultimate Tour Named Death\,” the outing is due to hit Penticton on Saturday\, September 21st at the South Okanagan Events Centre.  Tickets for the “Ultimate Tour Named Death” are $39.50\, $49.50\, $69.50 and $75.00* and will go on sale to the general public beginning this Friday\, April 5 at 10:00AM. Tickets can be purchased in person at the Valley First Box Office (at the SOEC)\, over the phone at 1-877-763-2849 or online at ValleyFirstTix.com. \nSan Antonio’s three-time Grammy-nominated alt/rock band Nothing More\, who earned three Top 10 singles from their most recent album The Stories We Tell Ourselves\, will provide support for the tour.* \nGhost’s widely acclaimed live performances are known for raising an ungodly ruckus\, and that will only be amplified as the band brings its stage production to arenas.  Cardinal Copia and the seven Nameless Ghouls will perform for more than two hours on a striking stage set resembling a medieval cathedral with a backdrop of illuminated stained-glass windows that pay tribute to the three now-departed Papas.  In addition to rich costumes\, special effects\, and a spectacular light show tailored-made for arenas\, the Cardinal and the band will take advantage of a series of multi-level platforms and walkways to prowl around on while performing some of Ghost’s fan-favorite songs from the band’s albums and EPs catalogues.  The set list will include favorites “Square Hammer\,” “Cirice\,” “Ashes\,” “He Is\,” “Year Zero\,” “Rats\,” “Mummy Dust\,” “Life Eternal\,” “Dance Macabre\,” and many more. \nTwenty-eighteen proved to be a transformative year for Ghost.  The band’s album Prequelle debuted at #3 on Billboard’s 200 chart\, was named Revolver’s #1 Album of the Year\, earned a Grammy nomination in the category of “Best Rock Album\,” and accumulated 400\,000 album sales and 200-million streams since its June release.  Prequelle’s first radio single\, “Rats\,” held the #1 spot on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Songs chart for a record-setting eight consecutive weeks and received a “Best Rock Song” Grammy nomination\, and the most recent radio track\, “Dance Macabre\,” became the band’s third #1 song at rock radio\, a position it held for three weeks.  In addition\, Loudwire named Ghost its “Artist of the Year.” \n*Additional fees apply. \nWhile costumes are encouraged for this event\, please note all patrons must be identified at the entrance.

SUMMARY:STYX with Loverboy
DESCRIPTION:Classic rock legends\, STYX\, are set to perform in Penticton at the South Okanagan Events Centre on Wednesday\, September 4 with Canadian icons\, LOVERBOY. \nVIP and Meet & Greet Packages will be available and can be purchased starting Thursday\, June 6 at 10am PST and can only be purchased online at www.valleyfirsttix.com. \nGeneral tickets are $69.50\, $79.50\, $89.50 and $109.50* and go on sale Friday\, June 7 at 10am PST and can be purchased at www.valleyfirsttix.com\, in person at the Valley First Box Office at the SOEC\, or charge by phone at 1.877.763.2849. \nThe six men comprising STYX have committed to rocking the Paradise together with audiences far and wide by averaging over 100 shows a year every year since (yes) 1999\, and each one of them is committed to making the next show better than the last. Founded in Chicago in 1972\, STYX has the unique distinction of being the first band in rock history to have four consecutive certified multimillion-selling albums in a row: 1977’s The Grand Illusion\, 1978’s Pieces of Eight\, 1979’s Cornerstone\, and 1981’s Paradise Theatre. \nSTYX draws from over four decades of barn burning chart hits\, joyous sing-alongs\, and hard-driving deep cuts. Like a symphony that builds to a satisfying crescendo\, a STYX set covers a wide range of stylistic cornerstones. From the progressively sweeping splendor that is “The Grand Illusion” to the hunker-down fortitude of all that is the “Blue Collar Man\,” from the majestic spiritual love for a special “Lady” to the poignant rumination on the fleeting nature of fame in “Miss America\,” from an individual yearning for true connection as a “Man in the Wilderness” to a soul-deep quest to achieve what’s at the heart of one’s personal vision in “Crystal Ball\,” from the regal reach-for-the-stars bravado of “Come Sail Away” to the grainy all-in gallop of that rugged “Renegade” who had it made\, STYX draws on an unlimited cache of ways to immerse one’s mind and body in their signature sound.\n\nFor more than 30 years\, LOVERBOY has been “Working for the Weekend”(and on weekends)\, delighting audiences around the world since forming in 1978\, when vocalist and Penticton native\, Mike Reno\, was introduced to guitar hot shot\, Paul Dean – both veterans of several bands on the Canadian scene. After being rejected by all the major U.S. record companies\, LOVERBOY signed with Columbia Records Canada to record their self-titled debut album\, which went on to sell more than 700k records in Canada. Soon the band found themselves playing on mega tours with Journey\, Bob Seger\, Cheap Trick\, ZZ Top\, Kansas and Def Leppard\, to name a few. They quickly became MTV darlings\, being one of the first bands ever featured on the music channel. \nWith their trademarked leather pants\, bandannas\, big rock sound and high-energy live shows\, LOVERBOY has sold more than 10 million albums\, earning four multi-platinum plaques\, including the four-million-selling Get Lucky\, and a trio of double-platinum releases in their self-titled 1980 debut\, 1983’s Keep It Up and 1985’s Lovin’ Every Minute of It. Their string of hits includes\, in addition to the anthem “Working for the Weekend\,” such arena rock staples as “Lovin’ Every Minute of It\,” “This Could Be the Night\,” “Hot Girls in Love\,” “The Kid is Hot Tonite\,”“Notorious”\, “Turn Me Loose\,” “When It’s Over\,” “Heaven In Your Eyes” and “Queen of the Broken Hearts.” LOVERBOY went on to win a still-record six Juno awards in 1982\, and until a three-year sabbatical in 1989\, were one of the Top 5 grossing touring acts in the world\, performing in over 100 cities across the U.S. and Canada. Their success made them the first Canadian group ever to earn Columbia Records’ exclusive Crystal Globe Award\, celebrating the sale of over five million albums outside their native country. \nAlong with Reno and Dean\, LOVERBOY still includes original members Doug Johnson on keyboards and Matt Frenette on drums\, with Ken “Spider” Sinnaeve (a former member of Dean and Frenette’s pre-LOVERBOY band Streetheart)\, replacing the late Scott Smith on bass\, and continues a healthy touring schedule around the world. \n*additional fees apply.
