As seemingly everyone in the world is caught up in the trend of sharing their selfies from 2016, Toronto pop-punk legends PUP are gearing up for the celebration of their 2016 classic The Dream is Over.

Recorded with Dave Schiffman in Toronto, the record came about after singer Stefan Babcock was diagnosed with vocal cord problems and was told by his doctor that he would no longer be able to perform as a vocalist. (Obviously, she was wrong.)

Three records and many world tours later, the band is taking over the RBC Amphitheater (formerly the Budweiser Stage) on August 23rd. To celebrate, PUP will be joined by American emo veterans Jimmy Eat World, who will be celebrating the 25 year anniversary of Bleed American, widely recognized as one of the most classic records of the genre.

According to PUP's Instagram post, both bands will be playing their records 'in full', as well as other hits from their respective repertoires. Tickets for the Toronto show go on sale this Friday, Jan. 23rd, and more dates might be added.

Live Nation and DOJ reach settlement in antitrust trial

Live Nation has reached a settlement with the U.S. Department of Justice that could significantly reshape the live music business, ending a closely watched antitrust trial less than a week after it began. According to Politico, the agreement is expected to be announced Monday and includes both financial penalties and structural changes to the company’s ticketing and venue operations.

The company will pay roughly $200 million in damages to the states that joined the lawsuit. More consequential for the industry, however, are the changes aimed at loosening Ticketmaster’s grip on the ticketing ecosystem.
