Al Di Meola, Dorthaan Kirk, Karrin Allison, Houston Person, And Noriko Ueda Will Form The Jury Of Savage Ticket’s New How I Fell In Love With Jazz Video Contest
Savage Ticket is a company that recently launched a new industry-changing concept under the form of a platform mandated with a mission to redefine the way music and entertainment are presented, shared and enjoyed. The founders of Savage ticket firmly believe in the essential role played by music in the world, and the power it holds to unite and heal all of us.
In parallel to the launch of the platform, Savage Ticket has made a $50,000 donation to the Jazz Foundation of America’s COVID-19 Musicians’ Relief Fund, in order to help struggling musicians who lost their opportunity for income during the lockdown triggered by the Covid-19 pandemic. The donation was made through the Kent and Martha Savage Family Charitable Fund, encouraging all those who can to donate as well, and participate in helping save artists and musicians.
Savage Ticket is an innovative platform that delivers unique concepts to both artists and audiences, and one of their new projects is the How I Fell In Love With Jazz Video Contest. All that is requested to participate in this contest is to send the platform a 60-second video detailing how you fell in love with Jazz music, and is open to participation both to fans and performers. The first prize will receive $2500, the second $1000, and an additional hundred endearments will receive $100. The most exclusive panel of judges will determine the winners, among which no less than Al Di Meola, Dorthaan Kirk, Karrin Allison, Houston Person, and Noriko Ueda.
While we are going through one of the most uncertain phases in the world, and one that has and will affect the music industry with full-impact, it is torchbearers of new concepts like the Savage Ticket platform that gives us a little hope, that after all, tomorrow’s world will find a way to keep music at the heart of our lives.

The Jonas Brothers Just Played Halftime At The NFL’s First-Ever Game In Australia
The NFL played its first-ever regular season game on Australian soil Friday, and the league handed the halftime slot to a band that knows a thing or two about stadium-sized nostalgia: the Jonas Brothers. At the Melbourne Cricket Ground, with the Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers on the field, the trio ran through a medley built for a crowd that grew up on them — “Burnin’ Up,” “Sucker,” “Year 3000,” and their new one, “Listen When Sad.”
They also did something no one was expecting: a cover of John Farnham’s “You’re the Voice,” the 1986 Australian anthem that’s basically a second national song at this point. It’s the kind of move that plays a lot better live in Melbourne than it would’ve on paper. “Playing at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground in front of such passionate Australian fans is an incredible honor,” the group said in a statement ahead of the show. “We can’t wait to be part of this historic moment and celebrate with everyone in the stadium and watching around the world.”
The game itself wasn’t close — the 49ers took it 27-7 — but the real story was everything happening around the field. Cody Simpson opened the day singing “Advance Australia Fair,” and the whole event doubled as a launchpad for the Jonas Brothers’ next act: “The Burning Up Tour All Over Again,” kicking off Sept. 25 and running through Dec. 22, a nod to the original Burnin’ Up Tour from nearly two decades back.
That throwback framing isn’t just marketing. “Listen When Sad,” which the band debuted live at Madison Square Garden before Melbourne, pulls from a very specific corner of their teenage years. “We’ve tapped back into a sound that was kind of the sound of the early 2000s,” Nick told the MSG crowd. “Bands like Switchfoot, Taking Back Sunday, Dashboard Confessional.” They’ve even re-teamed with the producer behind “A Little Bit Longer” and “Lines, Vines and Trying Times” to get it right. No album’s been announced yet, but between the halftime show and the tour, it’s clear they’re not easing into this one quietly.

Harry Styles Is Extending His Tour Into 2027 — And Finally Playing U.S. Stadiums Solo
Harry Styles just told fans that “Together, Together” isn’t done yet. He’s tacking on 25 more stadium dates through 2027 — and this time he’s finally doing something he’s never done before as a solo artist: headlining stadiums in the U.S. and Canada.
The new leg kicks off in Phoenix on April 2 and rolls through Dallas, Los Angeles, Toronto, Atlanta and Chicago before jumping to Europe for stops in Berlin, Paris, Madrid, Rome and Dublin, wrapping with three nights at Wembley Stadium on Aug. 28. Tickets run $60 to $300, but Styles is also rolling out something new: “Unpredictable Fun Tickets,” a batch of $20 seats (£20 or €20, depending on the market) meant to keep the tour accessible, alongside a returning partnership with EARNT that lets fans earn tickets by volunteering in their communities.
Styles broke the news the old-fashioned way, in a newsletter to fans, confirming these are the tour’s “final cities.” “After that, I don’t know what comes next for me,” he wrote, “but I know that I’m excited to find out.” Every stop gets its own opening act, and the lineup is genuinely wild — Kylie Minogue in LA, Tears For Fears in London, LCD Soundsystem in Rome, Lainey Wilson in Toronto, and Caroline Polachek in Paris, among others.
This caps a run that’s already made history: Styles picked up a Guinness World Record in June for the longest residency by a musician at Wembley Stadium, beating out Coldplay’s old mark. The tour is behind his fourth album, “Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally.,” which debuted at No. 1 on both the Billboard 200 and the UK Albums Chart. If this really is the last lap, he’s making sure it’s the biggest one yet.
