- Bryan Adams will perform a socially distanced concert on September 4th at Dusseldorf, Germany's Merkur Spiel-Arena. Although Germany has banned all large-scale events through October — the government is allowing select events to take place if they meet “stringent guidelines.” According to NME, the multi-act “Give Live A Chance” concert will see 12,000 fans seated about five feet apart and spread across the 54,600-seat stadium. Alcohol won’t be allowed in or around the building, and concert-goers won’t have to take COVID-19 tests to enter. (NME)
- Bryan Adams posted on Instagram: “I’ve been invited to perform at the first large social distancing concert in Germany at the Merkur Spiel-Arena in Dusseldorf on 4th September. I’m playing acoustically — on my own / no band.”
- Ringo Starr, Slash, Cheap Trick, Sean Lennon, Billy Gibbons, John Oates, and more will be among the artists participating in the “(DE)Tour Music Festival” on Saturday, August 15th.

- Sheryl Crow has posted a video for the recording of her 2012 song, “Woman In The White House.” As Joe Biden winds down his pick for a female Vice Presidential candidate, Crow's new video “features footage from the women’s suffrage movement interspersed with scenes from the current political climate — from Black Lives Matter protests to Greta Thunberg.” The track will be available as a 45 r.p.m. single pressed as a limited run of 500 copies with a B-side still to be announced. The single will be bundled with a red, white, and blue tie-dye t-shirt.
- A portion of the proceeds from each bundle sale will go to She Should Run, a nonprofit organization that provides women who are curious about public office with a starting place to explore their options. For more info, log on to shop.sherylcrow.com. (Rolling Stone)
