TOUR: BEYONCÉ'S 'RENAISSANCE' TOUR IS EXPECTED TO EARN HER OVER $2 BILLION USD

Beyoncé is about to become a whole lot richer. According to Forbes, the Renaissance tour is slated to earn the pop star over $2 billion USD.

In a recent report, Forbes stated, “Renaissance could gross between $275 million and $2.4 billion from tickets alone by the time it ends in September. Beyoncé’s most optimistic ticket revenue estimate — $2.4 billion — is well above [Taylor Swift's] Era‘s $1.9 billion most optimistic box office.”

The outlet also explained how these numbers are being determined. “Those eye-popping estimates are based on the most optimistic assumptions of the number of fans buying tickets at their concerts and high average ticket prices of about $700,” Forbes added.

Beyoncé announced the Renaissance tour in February. She will be visiting over 40 cities across the globe, starting in Stockholm and concluding in New Orleans.

ART: Salon 94 Will Present "Caldonia: Concert and Film Posters from the Collection of Ralph DeLuca"

New York’s Salon 94 will present a new exhibition highlighting the long-forgotten poster art from a range of historic Black performers that have been slowly disappearing from public memory.

“Caldonia: Concert and Film Posters from the Collection of Ralph DeLuca” presents a rich and varied archive of designs that have rarely been seen by audiences today, including the King himself, Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, arguably the greatest American composer of the 20th Century, along with a range of notable artists and performers, such as Fats Navarro, Billie Holiday, Bessie Smith, Count Basie, and many more.

The exhibition particularly examines the vanishing memory of Black women performers, to which historian Daphne Brooks stated is at “the point at which they begin to slip out of view and into the void of cultural memory.” Fellow curators in Fredric Jameson and Thomas Cripps comment further that what’s really at stake is recognizing the importance of urban Black life and how it played an integral part in shaping 20th Century modernity. The exhibition will be on view at Salon 94 from March 11-26, 2022.

Also on view, Susumu Kamijo presents “I’ll Tell You Later” at Stems Gallery.

MUSIC: D'Angelo Announces VERZUZ Battle With Friends

D’Angelo is set to hit the stage — literally this time — for his upcoming VERZUZbattle.

Unlike the other matchups in the past, this battle will see the R&B star playing hits live from Harlem’s Apollo Theater and against an unrevealed opponent. He’ll also be joined by certain friends, but these special guest appearances are yet to be announced.

The latest VERZUZ episodese has seen exciting battles between the likes of Gucci Mane and Jeezy, E-40 and Too $hort and Brandy and Monica. Co-creator Swizz Beatz revealed in November 2020 that fans can expect a matchup between OutKast and A Tribe Called Quest, and that he and Timbaland are looking for a way to host a posthumous battle between 2Pac and Biggie Smalls.

D’Angelo V. Friends is set to go down on February 27 and will be live on VERZUZ TV and Apple Music.

STYLE: AXES

After teasing a custom-fabricated kitchen knife — resembling a Zaku‘s Heat Hawk blade from the Gundam series anime — last year, Amenoma has now released the batch of colorful kitchen blades.

Made from forged steel in Miki City, located in Japan’s Hyogo Prefecture, the blades boasts superior durability and can double as an outdoor tool. There are three versions including the standard model in green, down to the premium version which sees a special 8-layer laminated steel blade that has been dyed black on a crimson body. While this is not an officially licensed product, it would make for the perfect gift for the chef who’s also a Gundam fanatic.

The Amenoma GUSTAV KG-06 series of kitchen knives are priced between ¥39,000 JPY and ¥48,000 JPY (approximately $360 USD and $445 USD) and can be found over at miki-japan.com.

The Prince Estate expands on the availability of Prince’s coveted “Cloud” guitar with the release of both a blue and white version on prince.com. In the past, Prince’s signature guitar was only available to Paisley Park visitors, but now the Schecter replica can now be purchased online.

Prince stumbled on a uniquely-shaped bass guitar in the late ’70s while browsing for a guitar with his friend, and first bassist, André Cymone. The special shape along with the classical details led him to ask luthier Dave Rusan to create his own guitar version of the bass — in which only four copies of the white “Cloud” guitar were ever made. As Schecter was the guitar company Prince would call to repair, modify and replicate his guitar in-between touring and recording, it was only natural that the guitar maker and the Prince Estate decided to offer up such an iconic instrument to the fans.

Available in a blue or white version, the guitar features a mahogany body and a 3pc maple neck with Prince’s Love Symbols as inlays. The guitar also runs an EMG 81 bridge pickup and an EMG SA neck pickup. Priced at $1,750 USD, both “Cloud” guitars are available for order now where it comes with a custom purple hard case with a custom purple plush interior. Expect the guitars to ship later this year in November.
