Reacting to this, he said, “This is such a big moment. And not just for me, but for Amar Singh Chamkila, an artist from Punjab who is being celebrated on the global stage. I feel truly honoured that Amar Singh Chamkila, an artist from Punjab, is being recognised and talked about at a global level on such a prestigious stage like the International Emmys. This nomination is not just for me, but for the entire legacy of Chamkila. I am grateful to Imtiaz Ali Sir for choosing me for the Role.”

Rush announces 2026 reunion tour with 2 Canadian dates in Toronto

by jummy84 October 6, 2025
written by jummy84

Original Rush band members Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson announced that they’re planning a reunion tour for the iconic Canadian band in 2026.

It’s the band’s first shows since the R40 tour in 2015 and drummer Neil Peart’s death in 2020.

The tour, called the Fifty Something Tour, will celebrate Rush’s music and legacy as well as Peart’s life, according to the band.

“It’s been over 10 years since Alex and I have performed the music of Rush alongside our fallen bandmate and friend Neil,” said Lee. “A lifetime’s worth of songs that we had put our cumulative hearts and souls into writing, recording and playing together onstage. And so, after all that has gone down since that last show, Alex and I have done some serious soul searching and come to the decision that we f–king miss it, and that it’s time for a celebration.

“So in 2026 my BFF Lerxst (Lifeson) and I are going to hit the road once again to pay tribute to our past and to Neil by performing a vast selection of Rush songs in a handful of cities. No small task, because as we all know Neil was irreplaceable.”

Lee said that Peart’s place behind the kit will be filled on tour by “incredible” German drummer Anika Nilles.

“We are thrilled to support the Fifty Something tour, celebrating a band whose music has resonated and inspired fans for generations, and to honour Neil’s extraordinary legacy as both a drummer and lyricist,” Carrie Nuttall-Peart and Olivia Peart, Peart’s widow and daughter, said in a joint statement.


“As the band enters this new chapter, it promises to be truly unforgettable. We are excited to see how their new vision unfolds, and to hear this legendary music played live once again.”

Rush will perform multiple shows in seven cities across Canada, the United States and Mexico, beginning June 7, 2026 at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles.

Rush Announces Reunion Tour To Celebrate Life Of Drummer Neil Peart

by jummy84 October 6, 2025
written by jummy84

Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson, co-founders of the classic rock band Rush, have announced the band’s first tour in 11 years. The 2026 “Fifty Something” tour will, in the words of the band, celebrate Rush’s “music, legacy and the life of late drummer and lyricist Neil Peart.”

The tour, with German musician Anika Nilles taking drum duties, launches Sunday June 7 at Los Angeles’ Kia Forum, the first of two nights there.

See below for full tour itinerary.

In a lengthy statement (read it in full below), Lee said, “It’s been over 10 years since Alex and I have performed the music of RUSH alongside our fallen bandmate and friend Neil. A lifetime’s worth of songs that we had put our cumulative hearts and souls into writing, recording and playing together onstage. And so, after all that has gone down since that last show, Alex and I have done some serious soul searching and come to the decision that we fucking miss it, and that it’s time for a celebration of 50-something years of RUSH music. So in 2026, my BFF Lerxst (aka Alex Lifeson) and I are going to hit the road once again to pay tribute to our past and to Neil by performing a vast selection of RUSH songs in a handful of cities. No small task, because as we all know Neil was irreplaceable.”

Peart died in January 2020 of glioblastoma.

The 2026 tour is being undertaken with the full support of Peart’s widow Carrie Nuttall-Peart and daughter Olivia Peart, who said in a statement, “We are thrilled to support the Fifty Something tour, celebrating a band whose music has resonated and inspired fans for generations, and to honor Neil’s extraordinary legacy as both a drummer and lyricist.”

After the two dates in Los Angeles, the Fifty Something tour will then go to Mexico City for one show, followed by two-night stands in Fort Worth, Chicago, New York and Toronto. The tour ends on September 17 with a single concert in Cleveland.

The band also announced today a 50-track super deluxe anthology, RUSH 50, available in five distinct configurations, including the (1) Super Deluxe Edition, (2) RUSH Store Exclusive Super Deluxe Edition, (3) 7-LP Deluxe Edition, (4) 4-CD Deluxe Edition, and (5) Digital Edition. The career-spanning anthology includes the first-ever reissue of their 1973 debut single and concludes with a live recording the final song Lee, Lifeson, and Peart played together during the 2015 R40 Tour closer at The Forum.

Among the band’s many hits are “Tom Sawyer,” “Fly By Night” and “New World Man.”

Here is Lee’s full statement:

“It’s been over 10 years since Alex and I have performed the music of RUSH alongside our fallen bandmate and friend Neil. A lifetime’s worth of songs that we had put our cumulative hearts and souls into writing, recording and playing together onstage. And so, after all that has gone down since that last show, Alex and I have done some serious soul searching and come to the decision that we fucking miss it, and that it’s time for a celebration of 50-something years of RUSH music. So in 2026, my BFF Lerxst (aka Alex Lifeson) and I are going to hit the road once again to pay tribute to our past and to Neil by performing a vast selection of RUSH songs in a handful of cities. No small task, because as we all know Neil was irreplaceable.

“Yet life is full of surprises, and we have been introduced to another remarkable person; an incredible drummer and musician who is adding another chapter to our story while continuing her own fascinating musical journey. Her name is Anika Nilles, and we could not be more excited to introduce her to our loyal and dedicated RUSH fanbase, whom, we know, will give her every chance to live up to that near impossible role. Before we hit the stage, we also hope to add another musician or two to expand our sound a wee bit and free up Alex and I, in order to show off some of our new fancy dance steps.

Lerxst, Anika and myself, along with many of our longstanding crew members have been hard at work rehearsing and designing the kind of RUSH show you’ve grown accustomed to expect from us. We dearly hope you will come along and help us celebrate our history together.”

And here is the Carrie Nuttall-Peart and Olivia Peart statement:

“We are thrilled to support the Fifty Something tour, celebrating a band whose music has resonated and inspired fans for generations, and to honor Neil’s extraordinary legacy as both a drummer and lyricist.

“Neil’s musicianship was singular. Compositions of intricacy and power that expanded what rhythm itself could express. As both drummer and lyricist, he was irreplaceable. Inimitable in his artistry, and unmatched in the depth and imagination he brought to the lyrics that inspired and moved so many, he profoundly shaped how fans connected with him and the band, giving voice and meaning to their own lives.

“As the band enters this new chapter, it promises to be truly unforgettable. We are excited to see how their new vision unfolds, and to hear this legendary music played live once again.”

written by jummy84

India is becoming increasingly the focus for international music, and 2025 looks set to be an annus mirabilis for fans. Following hot on the heels of news that John Mayer will be touring India, global EDM phenomenon Calvin Harris has been confirmed to play his eagerly awaited debut in India.

The Grammy-winning Scottish DJ and producer will play in two key cities under a special tour tie-up with Sunburn. Calvin Harris will make his debut live performances in India at Mumbai on November 8 and Bengaluru on November 9, 2025. Tickets will go on a limited pre-sale for chosen credit card members beginning October 6 at 12 PM IST, followed by general ticket sales from October 8 at 12 PM IST, only on BookMyShow.

Harris, with his energetic performances and international hits, is likely to deliver an experience never to be forgotten to Indian audiences. Fans await his performances of hit songs like “We Found Love,” “One Kiss,” “Outside,” “Summer,” “Blame,” “This Is What You Came For,” and his recent hit “Blessings.” These concerts are likely to attract huge fan bases as Harris displays his skills as a DJ and songwriter that have earned him a place among the most prominent voices in the international EDM industry.

Calvin Harris started off in music with his debut album I Created Disco in 2007 and has since been churning out hits and collaborations in galore. His high-energy style and worldwide popularity make him an ideal addition to India’s fast-growing list of international acts.

On the personal front, Harris wed British TV and radio host Vick Hope in 2023. The couple had their first child, a boy, in August 2025, bringing a new chapter in his life after music.

With this tour, Indian fans are going to get to see one of the largest names in EDM perform live for the very first time.

Fest Rio Announces China Focus in 2026, Premieres CMG’s ‘Shenzhou 13’

by jummy84 October 4, 2025
written by jummy84

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil — The Rio International Film Fest will feature China as its country focus in next year’s edition, as part of the 2026 China-Brazil Cultural Year, said Walkiria Barbosa, Rio Fest’s executive director and int’l marketing.

The governments of the two countries announced in Nov. 2024, during a visit of China’s president Xi Jinping to Brazil, that the  2026 China-Brazil Cultural Year will feature a broad programming element, currently in preparation.

“China is the largest film market in the world. Our intention is to have in the 2026 edition of Rio Fest the main Chinese film production companies, streamers and exhibitors for a big business meeting and screening of Chinese films,” Barbosa told Variety.

The China Media Group (CMG) made a presentation Oct. 3 in RioMarket, the business section of Rio Fest, with the presence of the company’s Latin America chief bureau Zhu Boying, as well as of China’s consul in Rio, Tian Min.

Following the presentation, CMG premiered the feature “Shenzhou 13,” the country’s first 8K film shot in space, which was theatrically released nationwide in China Sept. 5.

The film depicts the routine of astronauts Zhai Zhigang, Wang Yaping, and Ye Guangfu on the Shenzhou-13 mission, which was launched Oct. 16, 2021. The crew spent a total of 183 days in orbit, setting a new record for the longest continuous spaceflight by Chinese astronauts.

The film reveals awe-inspiring cosmic vistas and glimpses of daily life in orbit, captured with 8K ultra-high-definition cameras. Most of the footage was filmed by astronauts, with Wang’s perspective guiding the story.

The main Brazil-China co-production now in course is produced by Rio-based LC Barreto and CCTV Animation, a subsidiary of CMG. They are developing a TV animation series and an animation feature, both with Panda HoHo, a well-known character starring in other CMG productions.

“Hoho & The Tropical Sound Clash” is a 3D animated series aimed at preschoolers. The series is due to have four seasons, each with 13 episodes running 10 minutes in length.

Series showrunner Joao Amorim told Variety the first season is expected to open in the second half of 2026 on free-to-air TV channels TV Cultura in Brazil and CCTV Animation in China. Zhang Fan is the series’ animation director.

In the series, Panda HoHo will form part of a trio of Brazilian animals, with a Golden Lion Tamarin, a symbol of Brazilian biodiversity, and Capy, an adventurous capybara. In each episode, the trio will embark on adventures across Brazil, discovering unique biomes, cultural traditions and important lessons about environmental preservation and the power of collaboration.

The second LC Barreto-CCTV project, “Amazonika – The Origin” is a 3D animated feature about the recreation of the Amazon Rainforest, presented as an ancient link between Asian and Brazil’s Indigenous cultures. Panda HoHo will help Zo, a young man who can communicate with nature, and Nika, a bold princess warrior, to restore harmony in a world on the edge of collapse.

“We are working with two Indigenous Brazilians as consultants for the projects. Benki Piyãko is of the Asháninka original people and Zezinho Yube is of the Huni Kuin people,” Amorim said.

Lola Young announces indefinite hiatus following collapse

by jummy84 October 1, 2025
written by jummy84

1 October 2025

Lola Young has cancelled all of her planned appearances “for the foreseeable future” after recently collapsing on stage.

Lola Young has cancelled upcoming gigs

The 24-year-old star collapsed during a performance in New York and she’s now taken to social media to announce an indefinite hiatus from the stage.

Lola wrote on Instagram: “I’m going away for a while. It pains me to say I have to cancel everything for the foreseeable future. Thank you for all the love and support. I’m so sorry to let anyone down who has bought a ticket to see me, it hurts me more than you know.

“Obviously you will be entitled to a full refund.

“I really hope you’ll give me a second chance once I’ve had some time to work on myself and come back stronger. Love you all, Lola x. (sic)”

Lola previously cancelled a gig in Washington, D.C. a day after collapsing onstage in New York.

The singer suffered a medical issue while singing Conceited at the All Things Go Music Festival at Forest Hills Stadium, New York City, on Saturday (27.09.25) and was taken backstage by medical staff, but she later reassured fans she was fine.

In a statement posted on Instagram, she wrote: “I’m sorry to confirm that I won’t be playing All Things Go in DC today.

“I love this job and I never take my commitments and audience for granted so I’m sorry to those who will be disappointed by this.

“I hope you’ll all give me another chance in the future. Thank you to all those who listen and care. To all the people that love to be mean online, pls give me a day off. (sic)”

After her collapse in New York, Lola told fans she was “doing OK”, writing in a social media update: “Hi, for anyone who saw my set at All Things Go today, I am doing OK now. Thank you for all of your support, Lola xxx. (sic)”

Speaking before the medical incident, Lola told the crowd in New York that she’d had a tough couple of days.

She said: “Sometimes life can really make you feel like you can’t continue, but you know what, today I woke up and I made the decision to come here, and I wanted to be cool … and sometimes life can throw you lemons, and you just gotta make lemonade.”

Reach announces University of Greenwich as 2026 university partner and DRPG named as second-time donor

by jummy84 September 30, 2025
written by jummy84

The Reach (Race, Ethnicity And Cultural Heritage) Events Scholarship Initiative has confirmed the University of Greenwich as its 2026 university partner, aligning the programme with one of the UK’s most diverse student communities and a leading centre for events and hospitality education.

Mary Ivers, Associate Director of External Engagement, University of Greenwich, said: “We’re delighted to partner with REACH Events Management Scholarship to create meaningful opportunities for students from diverse backgrounds in the events and hospitality industry. This collaboration reflects our commitment to inclusive education and ensuring all our students have the support and connections they need to build successful careers in their chosen fields.”

Robert Kenward, co-founder of Reach, said: “Confirming the University of Greenwich as our 2026 partner is a brilliant next step for Reach and for the students we exist to support. As we enter our fourth year, we’re moving from good intentions to durable impact. This is about longevity and legacy: a community-led programme that keeps widening who gets to thrive in our sector.”

DRPG has confirmed it will again sponsor the programme for the 2026 intake of students having been one of the first to support the programme since its inception. Dale Parmenter, CEO, added: “Breaking into the events industry shouldn’t depend on where you’re from or who you are. It should be about what value you can bring to the industry and how someone’s natural talent can be nurtured and grown. Talent is everywhere, but opportunity isn’t necessarily. That’s why we’re backing the REACH Scholarship again for 2026, this time with the University of Greenwich. This programme isn’t about ticking boxes, it’s about making real, lasting change. Creating an industry that’s truly representative and inclusive for the good of everyone. We just need to step up and make room at the table. It’s that simple.”

This announcement follows the launch last month of ‘Reach 2.0’ – a legacy-driven restructure that formalises governance, strengthens delivery, and sets a clear path to scale scholarships from three to five per year. The refreshed model introduces an Advisory Board to steer strategy, operations and decision-making, supported by active working parties across social, PR, coaching & alumni, events and fundraising.

About the Reach Events Scholarship

Launched in 2022, Reach provides students with £5,000 per year for three years to support Black, Asian and underrepresented minority ethnic students on events management degree programmes.

Scholarships are funded by industry donors who pledge £5,000 per year for three years. Beyond funding, Reach integrates students into the working world through work experience, internships, networking and employment opportunities facilitated by its partner network.

To date, Reach has partnered with Manchester Metropolitan University and the University of Hertfordshire; the University of Greenwich now joins as the confirmed 2026 partner.
