- Eric Clapton’s Crossroads Festival, set to take place next weekend in Chicago, already boasts a lineup that features acts ranging from B.B. King to John Mayer. Now the show — which will benefit Clapton’s rehab facility in Antigua — has added Robbie Robertson, formerly of The Band, along with Johnny Winter and emcee Bill Murray to the list of performers. Festival organizers will also release extra tickets to the previously sold-out event today via the venue’s box office and Ticketmaster.
- Iggy Pop apologized for using a racist term during an interview at Glastonbury and lashed out at the two Stooges biopics in the works, even though he already approved of Elijah Wood’s casting.
- Cheap Trick and special guests will play Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band at the Hollywood Bowl on August 10 and 11 to celebrate the album’s 40th anniversary.
- Only about half of fans who scored free tickets to this year’s Ozzfest have showed up to the tour’s California dates.
- After some release-date shuffling, Kanye West and 50 Cent will go head to head on September 11 with new albums.
