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.

There’s little that Morgan Freeman hasn’t done throughout his seven decades in show business. He’s won Oscars and Golden Globe Awards, starred in countless movies and Broadway plays, narrated documentaries, championed environmental causes, and lended his star power to political campaigns. And now just one year short of his 90th birthday, he’s broadening out into music with the release of his upcoming album, Morgan Freeman’s Symphonic Blues Experience.

The 12-song LP is a journey through 100 years of blues music, and features guest appearances by Taj Mahal, Keb’ Mo’, Shemekia Copeland, Anthony Big A Sherrod, Lady Adrena, and many others. It comes out Aug. 7, but right now you can hear Freeman and Taj Mahal team up for the Son House classic “Death Letter Blues.”
