A Zedd & JoJo Collaboration Could Be In The Works

If you somehow had a song by Zedd and JoJo on your 2021 bingo card, congratulations are in order after the two teased a collaborative track in the works.

After JoJo reached out to Zedd to let him know she wants to sing on one of his tracks, the Grammy-winning electronic producer responded no less than a half-hour later with a succinct yet emphatic confirmation. “Let’s make it happen,” he tweeted

Perhaps best known for her debut single, the generational pop anthem “Leave (Get Out),” JoJo is responsible for some of the most popular mainstream records of the aughts. After that track entrenched her as the youngest solo artist in history to top the US Billboard Pop chart, she became one of the best-selling artists in the world, releasing two studio albums that went on to be certified Platinum and Gold, respectively.

If anything JoJo’s effort to work with Zedd only reinforces his significant influence in the pop music landscape after years of prolific work in the EDM space, which took a detour following the explosive success of his global hit “The Middle.” Collaborative releases with the likes of Kehlani, Griff, Jasmine Thompson, Elley Duhé, and Shawn Mendes, among others, have garnered him a reputation as as one of the contemporary crossover scene’s most coveted music producers.

At the time of this article’s publication, neither Zedd nor JoJo have shared any additional details about the song in question.

DON DIABLO TO ADDRESS UNITED NATIONS ALONGSIDE POPE FRANCIS FOR WORLD ENVIRONMENT DAY

Don Diablo’s undeniable success has landed him on the biggest stage of his career, as today he’ll be addressing the United Nations in partnership with Justdiggit to help combat climate change alongside a handful of world leaders.

The United Nations recently stated that their focus during this decade is ecosystem restoration. Diablo, Justdiggit, and the United Nations Environmental Programme are launching a campaign to begin restoration efforts starting at the United Nations Virtual Launch Gala.

Joining Diablo and Justdiggit will be Pope Francis, Pakistan’s Prime Minister Imran Khan, Germany’s Chancellor Angela Merkel, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, UN Messenger of Peace Jane Goodall, and UNEP Ambassador Gisele Bündchen.

“During the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration, it will be World Environment Day every day for the next 10 years. By bringing back nature from the peaks of mountains to the depths of the sea,” said Tim Christopherson, UNEP Coordinator of the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration, in a press statement. “But it also includes the many small actions everyone can take, every day: growing trees, regreening our cities, rewilding our gardens or cleaning up trash alongside rivers and coasts. Is it too much to ask? By listening to our favorite music, we can get inspired to regreen mother nature with #GenerationRestoration.”

You watch the UN Virtual Launch Gala here at 3PM CET.

Festiwal Open’er przniesiony na przyszły rok

Organizatorzy festiwalu Open’er poinformowali, że zmuszeni są przenieść imprezę na 2022 rok. Nowa data to 29 czerwca-2 lipca. “Mimo wszystko nie wyobrażamy sobie lata bez Was, mamy dobrą wiadomość. W tym roku również spotkamy się w Gdyni” – przekazano, zapowiadając “Open’er Park”.

2020 r. postawił organizatorów wydarzeń muzycznych w sytuacji bez wyjścia. Konieczne było odwołanie koncertów bądź przeniesienie ich na późniejszy termin. Wizja masowych szczepień i lockdown dawały nadzieję na normalność w kolejnym sezonie. Jednak następujące po sobie fale pandemii skutecznie ostudziły zapał branży

Przez ostatnie tygodnie ważyły się także losy Open’era. Mimo, że zapewniano o pomysłach na “zorganizowanie wydarzenia w każdej opcji”, poza koncertami online zdecydowano o przesunięciu edycji na kolejny rok.

“To dla nas trudny moment. Kolejny w trakcie pandemii. Przez ostatnie kilka miesięcy walczyliśmy i zrobiliśmy bardzo dużo, żeby tegoroczna edycja Open’er Festival się odbyła. Chociaż jesteśmy przekonani, że powrót świata festiwali jest już bardzo blisko, to akurat ten wyścig z czasem przegrywamy” – czytamy w najnowszym oświadczeniu.

Organizator koncertu zapewnia, że chce, aby “powrót na Open’era był doświadczeniem pełnym”. “Żeby to był czas wypełniony muzyką, kulturą, sztuką, rozrywką i zabawą w miejscu, formule i przestrzeni, które dobrze znacie. W skali i o sile, którą wspólnie zbudowaliśmy przez ostatnie 20 lat” – podkreślono

TOMORROWLAND IS PLANNING ANOTHER VIRTUAL FESTIVAL FOR SUMMER 2021

As the dates of its 2021 festival hang in the balance due to the uncertainty of COVID-19, the organizers of Tomorrowland have confirmed a virtual event.

Back in July the fabled festival brand aired its first-ever digital edition, Tomorrowland Around The World, tapping David Guetta, Martin Garrix, Eric Prydz, Charlotte de Witte, and many more for performances and attracting over 1 million viewers from an exhaustive list of countries.

Organizers then followed with a momentous virtual fest on New Year’s Eve, broadcasting an expansive slate of performances from elite DJs performing on the brand’s curated 3D stages. The event brought together fans from a staggering 151 countries.

A new report by Billboard has uncovered plans for a second edition of Tomorrowland Around The World, the dates of which are yet to be revealed.

In March the physical version of Tomorrowland was rescheduled, citing the impact of COVID-19. Both weekends of the iconic music festival’s 2021 edition were moved, with Weekend 1 pushed to August 27-29 and Weekend 2 to September 3-5. Fans can expect more information on safety measures and guidelines from Tomorrowland organizers on Tuesday, May 11th.

“We’re still positive, although we realize we’re in a very complex situation,” Tomorrowland co-founder Michiel Beers told Billboard.

As of April 2021 14% of Belgium’s adult population has received at least one dose of a vaccine, according to The Brussels Times. The number of new COVID-19 cases has dropped 19% over the past seven days, reports Euronews, and Prime Minister Alexander De Croo sai
