“We live in a world of illusion these days. The world at times doesn’t even seem real. If you don’t want to play the game everyone looks at you like you’re crazy,” says alt-metal group FIRE FROM THE GODS vocalist AJ CHANNER.

FIRE FROM THE GODS’ thought-provoking track “Double Edged Sword” tackles modern day society’s self-righteousness and insincere leanings. The Austin,TX-based band has collaborated with vocalist JAYDEN PANESSO of NYC metalcore outfit SYLAR to add further vigor to “Double Edged Sword” and have today (May 3) shared a lyric video for the collaborative track which is included on their forthcoming digital deluxe version of 2022’s SOUL REVOLUTION, SOUL REVOLUTION DELUXE – THE COLLABS. Watch the lyric video for “Double Edged Sword (feat. Jayden Panesso of Sylar)” streaming below or directly via YouTube HERE. Stream it across digital platforms HERE.

“We are viewing our world through a very narrow scope,” says CHANNER. “We are out of touch with reality or what real life looks like. Some don’t understand it nor want any part of it. When you don’t want to join the proverbial party you get treated like a pariah. Then everyone comes up with a cheeky buzzword to describe you which causes further division. Double Edged sword.”

Due May 31 via BETTER NOISE MUSIC, SOUL REVOLUTION DELUXE – THE COLLABS version will include five new tracks: a cover of Rage Against The Machine’s “Guerilla Radio” and four refreshed fan-favorite tracks with featured guests including Nate Vickers, Corey Glover (Living Colour), Yung Mo$h, and the above-mentioned Jayden Panesso (Sylar). SOUL REVOLUTION’s songs explored themes of self-realization and discovery amidst personal revolution, motherhood, and resilience. It was co-produced by Erik Ron (Godsmack, Motionless In White, Panic! At The Disco) and FIRE FROM THE GODS drummer RICHARD WICANDER. Pre-order’s for SOUL REVOLUTION DELUXE – THE COLLABS can be found on all digital platforms now at https://fftg.ffm.to/soulrevolutiondeluxe.

FIRE FROM THE GODS have relentlessly toured the nation with acts such as Sevendust, Of Mice & Men, Five Finger Death Punch, Megadeth and Norma Jean, as well as appearing on festival stages including Vans Warped Tour, Rock On The Range and Shiprocked. Catch them live this month at Welcome To Rockville (5/11) and Sonic Temple (5/16).

SOLENCE—one of PANDORA’s “Rising Rock Artists To Watch In 2023”–deliver high energy and endless optimism on their new track “F**k The Bad Vibes,” out today, Friday, May 3. The song denotes the Sweden-formed,LA-based band’s signing with BETTER NOISE MUSIC who will release their new album later this fall. Stream/download “F**k The Bad Vibes” now HERE.

“We are excited to welcome Solence to the Better Noise family,” exclaims BETTER NOISE MUSIC President / COO STEVE KLINE. “Their unique and eclectic sound is a perfect compliment to our existing roster and their refreshing blend of pop hooks, electro beats, and metal intensity are poised to have the band make a significant mark on the rock scene. We are eager to help bring Solence’s music to a wider audience.”

“Octane first played Solence back in 2020 and we saw the spark of a new era in rock,” remarks Vincent Usuriello (Senior Director, Music Programming SiriusXM / Octane). “Their sound is a dynamic fusion of rock, metal, and pop elements, with powerful vocals, electrifying guitar riffs, and infectious melodies, creating an immersive sonic experience. Their breakthrough on Octane ignited their journey and they are certainly a band to watch!

“F**ck The Bad Vibes” combines big pop hooks with a dancefloor electro savvy and the heavy-yet-melodic intensity of these metal trailblazers. The result is a distinctive international sound equal parts hypnotic and uplifting. Coinciding with its digital release, SOLENCE have unveiled a witty music video for “F**k The Bad Vibes” that parodies “Ghostbusters,” making sure no “bad vibes” will ever be safe again. Co-directed by Michael Lombardi (Papa Roach, “The Retaliators”) and Myles Erfurth (Dead Sara, Ice Nine Kills), watch it streaming below or directly via YouTube HERE.

“We feel like heavy music nowadays has the same dark message and almost the same sound, which is fine, but we wanted to bring back some fun and a different energy to the scene,” says frontman MARKUS VIDESÄTER. “With ‘F**k The Bad Vibes,’ we tried to make it direct and fun, while still keeping our musical integrity intact. We love this song and are so proud of it. The message comes straight from the heart—it’s not easy going through life but sometimes you just gotta remind yourself that you’re in charge and it’s fully possible to ‘F**k The Bad Vibes.’ This is our reminder to ourselves, and hopefully to you as well.”

With over 300 million cumulative streams and 856,000 monthly Spotify listeners, SOLENCE have engaged global audiences with their authentic positive vibes and energetic audience participatory performances on tours opening for bands including Five Finger Death Punch, Ice Nine Kills, and We Came As Romans, in addition to festival appearances at Aftershock, Louder Than Life, Blue Ridge Rock Fest, and more. Their first jaunt in North America was a direct support slot for German group Electric Callboy on their sold-out tour.

Formed in Stockholm by vocalist Videsäter, SOLENCE is rounded out by guitarist David Strääf, keyboardist Johan Swärd, and drummer David “Viking” Vikingsson. The quartet started out releasing heavy renditions of well-known pop hits by Imagine Dragons, Fall Out Boy, Ed Sheeran, Britney Spears, and Queen before breaking out with their 2019 debut album BROTHERS. It was quickly followed by their sophomore album, DIRECTION, which saw them achieve their first Active Rock radio charting with “Animal In Me” which became SiriusXM Octane’s most-played track in 2020. In 2021 SOLENCE released a third album, Deafening, which showed their range of inspirations from music to anime, gaming, sci-fi, and even philosophy. Their latest album Hope Is A Cult was released in 2023. The band are managed by Mike Mowery and Anna Greenhall of 10th Street Entertainment. Amidst writing new material for SOLENCE, Videsäter and Vikingsson have honed in on their songwriting skills writing for pop acts including Jason Derulo and Bebe Rexha.

SOLENCE will be revealing details about their next album in the coming weeks as they prepare to take the stage at several of Europe’s largest music festivals including Rock For People Festival (CZ), Graspop Metal Meeting (BE), Resurrection Fest (ES), Tuska Festival (FI), and Nova Rock Festival (AT).

Mongolian rock sensation THE HU have engaged audiences worldwide with their unique brand of “hunnu rock’ since their formation in 2016. The unparalleled group combine traditional Mongolian throat singing and ancient native instrumentation with contemporary western hard rock. THE HU have dominated the charts, including two #1 spots on Billboard’s World Album and Top New Artist Albums charts, sold-out headlining tours across the globe (including U.S., Europe and U.K), and appearances at some of the world’s biggest music festivals such as Download, Coachella, Lollapalooza, and Glastonbury.

THE HU have announced the digital and CD release of their live album, THE HU LIVE AT GLASTONBURY, recorded from their groundbreaking performance at the legendary Glastonbury festival in Somerset, U.K. in 2023. Due June 7 via BETTER NOISE MUSIC, THE HU LIVE AT GLASTONBURY features 11 songs, including the band’s RIAA Gold-certified hit “Wolf Totem,” which to date has received 98 million video views, as well as popular tracks from their 2019 breakthrough debut The Gereg and its follow-up album Rumble Of Thunder (2022). It also includes the track “Eseerin Vasahina,” which THE HU wrote for EA’s Star Wars Jedi: Survivor game. A limited-edition vinyl release of THE HU LIVE AT GLASTONBURY was released exclusively via Record Store Day (April 20) which included seven songs from the upcoming full-length live album. Pre-order/save THE HU LIVE AT GLASTONBURY on CD and digitally now at https://thehu.ffm.to/liveatglastonbury.

Here’s some praise from critics of their Glastonbury 2023 performance:

“There aren’t many bands causing excitement in the metal world right now that are anything quite like The HU…Within seconds of the band lurching into ‘The Gereg,’ heads across the field are banging, smiles are spreading across faces and it becomes immediately clear that Glasto is set to be the latest territory to fall under the Hu’s spell.”
–METAL HAMMER (6/26/23)

“This band are powerful…one of the most creative and exciting sets for heavy music lovers in 2023.”
– KERRANG! (6/26/23)

“The Hu are an Ulaanbaatar-based eight-piece – some of them in ceremonial dress, some in leather dusters – who play a mixture of modern and traditional instruments, guitars rubbing up against tovshuur horsehead fiddles. Their songs follow suit, resembling Black Album-era Metallica if James Hetfield had more of a penchant for Tuvan throat singing.”
– The Guardian (6/25/23)

THE HU have today shared the live shot performance video of their marching, chant-inducing single “Tatar Warrior” filmed during their recent U.S. co-headlining tour with British rockers Asking Alexandria. Watch “Tatar Warrior” streaming below or directly via YouTube HERE.

“During our performance at the Glastonbury festival in 2023, the crowds were extra lively and energetic, so in turn we were bursting with energy,” collectively states THE HU. “We are delighted to be sharing that live performance recording with you. Check out the track ‘Tatar Warrior’ that caused a massive crowd surf and got everyone chanting.”

THE HU will bring their awe-inspiring live performance to audiences across North America this fall as direct support to heavy metal legends IRON MAIDEN from October 4 to November 17.

FRANKY & THE ALL NIGHTERS To Launch Las Vegas Residency, “Hot Vegas Nights,” on June 7

DATE: MAY 2, 2024

FRANKY & THE ALL NIGHTERS
ANNOUNCE “HOT VEGAS NIGHTS”
MONTHLY RESIDENCY IN LAS VEGAS
LAUNCHING FRIDAY, JUNE 7
AT RED ROCK CASINO RESORT

FRANKY PEREZ AND HIS BAND
HAVE ALSO RELEASED NEW SONG AND VIDEO,
“HOT VEGAS NIGHTS”

LISTEN HERE / WATCH HERE

Note: FRANKY is pictured front and center

This year stands to set a new record for high temperatures with the sizzling heat FRANKY & THE ALL NIGHTERS plan to generate with their “Hot Vegas Nights” artist residency in Las Vegas. They’ve also released a new single and video, “Hot Vegas Nights.” Listen to it HERE and watch the video HERE.

FRANKY PEREZ—singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and Vegas native—will perform with his stellar band one show every month between June and October at Red Rock Casino Resort. The shows, all taking place on Friday nights, are as follows:

Red Rock Casino Resort: 6/7, 7/12, 8/9, 9/13, 10/18

To celebrate the Vegas residency, FRANKY & THE ALL NIGHTERS will release a teaser live EP recorded in Red Rocks Casino Resort, with a studio bonus track, out May 29 on all streaming platforms (more details TBA).

FRANKY PEREZ is a dynamic and engaging artist that can take any genre and make it his own. He was born to entertain, whether he’s performing one of his critically acclaimed originals, a moving ballad from the American songbook, or the latest in-demand pop hit. He delivers it all with an authenticity that will captivate any audience. Life should be celebrated. And any great celebration demands a hot spot and a stage dripping with unparalleled entertainment.

In the “Hot Vegas Nights” show, FRANKY is backed by his band THE ALL NIGHTERS—which includes a blistering horn section and some of Las Vegas’ sexiest and most talented dancer/showgirls. No Vegas show would be complete without a variety of entertainment, so FRANKY is bringing along a revolving cast of up-and-coming comedians, specialty acts, and a burlesque troupe to warm up the audience. This show will be unrivaled and unlike anything on or off The Strip.

“I’m a huge fan of comedy and have always loved it when bands bring comics on the road with them or vice versa,” says FRANKY. “Mostly I want the audience to be engaged the entire night and experience something that hasn’t been done in years. A real Vegas variety show. That’s why we also decided to bring along one of the sexiest burlesque troops I’ve ever seen. Music, comics, showgirls, dancers, and burlesque! What’s more entertaining than that!?”

More Quotes from FRANKY PEREZ
About “Hot Vegas Nights”

What inspired you to form Franky & The All Nighters and call your show “Hot Vegas Nights”?
FRANKY: I was born and raised in Vegas and cut my teeth on the stages of this town. I learned how to entertain audiences from the greats that have graced those same stages before me. I’ve performed all over the world, but I am yet to find anything that compares to the perfect hot Vegas night, figuratively or literally. To answer your question, I don’t know about you but when I find something good…I want it to last ALL NIGHT!

Which songs will you perform? From which eras?
Along with some of my fan favorite originals I will be performing music from the ‘50s all the way to the current day. When I choose songs for sets, I make sure that I believe wholeheartedly in each one. It makes for an honest set and a memorable evening. I will say that I plan on keeping the energy at a high-level and the band sweating all night long.

TOMMY EMMANUEL
TO RELEASE ‘ENDLESS ROAD: 20TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION’
ON MAY 17

THE NEWLY REMASTERED CLASSIC ALBUM
BY THE GRAMMY® AWARD WINNER WILL FEATURE
THREE NEVER-BEFORE-RELEASED LIVE BONUS TRACKS
INCLUDING “MORNING AIRE (LIVE)”

WATCH THE VIDEO FOR “MORNING AIRE (LIVE)” HERE

On May 17, to mark the 20th Anniversary of Grammy® Award winner TOMMY EMMANUEL’s landmark album Endless Road, the acoustic guitarist extraordinaire, composer, and global touring artist will release a newly remastered 20th anniversary edition of the album on digital outlets.

ENDLESS ROAD: 20^TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION will include three never-before released live bonus tracks: “Mona Lisa (Live),” “Mr. Guitar (Live),” and “Morning Aire (Live),” the latter of which was unveiled today (May 2). Watch the video HERE. TOMMY will also release the original remastered album for the first time ever on vinyl.

TOMMY views Endless Road as a “wonderful album in my life and in my career. It has a lot of songs that I get asked to play, like ‘The Endless Road,’ ‘Angelina,’ ‘(The Man With The) Green Thumb,’ and ‘Mona Lisa.’” He adds that these songs “are dear to my heart and dear to my fans and friends out there.” Watch the album announcement trailer HERE.

ENDLESS ROAD: 20^TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION also includes his covers of “Windy & Warm” and “Somewhere Over The Rainbow.” In addition, the remastered album will feature a live version of “Mr. Guitar.” (The studio version of the song, by TOMMY and Michael Cleveland, was released this past March as first single from the new multi-artist album WE STILL CAN’T SAY GOODBYE – A Musicians’ Tribute to Chet Atkins.) TOMMY recently wrote “Mr. Guitar” in honor of his idol and music icon Chet Atkins, who called TOMMY “one of the best guitar players I’ve ever seen.” In fact, TOMMY is one of five people ever named a CPG (Certified Guitar Player) by Chet Atkins, the innovator, songwriter, producer, record company executive, and visionary.

Meanwhile, TOMMY was honored this past February when he and guitar trio The String Revolution won the Grammy® Award in the “Best Arrangement, Instrumental or A Cappella” category for their unique reimagining of Johnny Cash’s classic “Folsom Prison Blues.” Sharing the Grammy Award with them was The Man in Black’s son John Carter Cash, who produced the single.

ABOUT TOMMY EMMANUEL:
TOMMY EMMANUEL has achieved enough musical milestones to satisfy several lifetimes. At the age of six, the Grammy® Award winner was touring regional Australia with his family band. By 30, he was a rock n’ roll lead guitarist burning up stadiums in Europe. At 44, he became one of five people ever named a CPG (Certified Guitar Player) by his idol, music icon Chet Atkins. Today, he plays hundreds of sold-out shows every year from Nashville to Sydney to London. He’s piled up numerous accolades, including two Grammy Award nominations, two ARIA Awards from the Australian Recording Industry Association (the Aussie equivalent of the Recording Academy); repeated honors in the Guitar Player magazine reader’s poll including a cover story for their August 2017 issue; a cover feature for Vintage Guitar’s July 2020 issue; and was Music Radar’s reader’s poll #1 winner of the Ten Best Acoustic Guitarists in The World (December 2019). A noted fingerstyle guitarist, EMMANUEL frequently threads three different parts simultaneously into his material, operating as a one-man band who handles the melody, the supporting chords and the bass all at once. His talents, which translate in any language, carry him to the far corners of the globe, but EMMANUEL never plays the same show twice, and he improvises big chunks of every date. That leaves him open to those technical imperfections, though they also provide some of the humanity to an other-worldly talent.

ABOUT THE FUNERAL PORTRAIT:
THE FUNERAL PORTRAIT—LEE JENNINGS (vocals), CODY WEISSINGER (guitar), CALEB FREIHAUT (guitar/auxiliary), ROBERT WESTON (bass), and HOMER UMBANHOWER (drums)—have relentlessly toured across the country built an unwavering fanbase opening for acts including Shinedown, Ice Nine Kills, Underoath, Skillet, From Ashes To New, Starset, Pvris and ISSUES. The band’s intention for their music is to represent ‘outcasts’ from all walks of life–the weird, the misunderstood, the marginalized—which they showcase through their live performances which include extravagant theatrics, stage décor, costumed actors, and more.

THE FUNERAL PORTRAIT released the SOUNDS FROM BEYOND THE ABYSS (VOL. 1) EP via Better Noise Music last October (2023). The four-track EP features four occult-driven tracks which cater to the band’s potent blend of modern rock anthems molded with emo and pop-punk theatrics. Of the four tracks, two are covers of iconic songs from artists that have inspired THE FUNERAL PORTRAIT’s vibrant sound: Radiohead’s “Creep” (released in partnership with The Hot Topic Foundation to support non-profit music, art, LGBTQ+ and mental health organizations for youth and teens) and Tears For Fears’ “Mad World.” Stream and/or download SOUNDS FROM BEYOND THE ABYSS (VOL 1) now at https://thefuneralportrait.ffm.to/sfbtavol1. Stay tuned for news on their forthcoming debut album later this year.

ABOUT THE BLACK MOODS:
The Black Moods play raw, amplified rock & roll. A classic power trio for the modern world, they turn the genre’s timeless ingredient—electric guitar, anthemic hooks, and percussive punch—into a sound that’s both contemporary and climactic.

Born in the Arizona desert and reared on stages across North America, The Black Moods began building a national audience thanks to their relentless touring schedule, which found the Phoenix-based group sharing shows with Shinedown, Janes Addiction, 311, Godsmack, and Collective Soul to name a few. That audience rose to new heights with 2020’s Sunshine, an album whose combination of guitar-driven muscle and melody helped The Black Moods send four hit singles into the Top 40 on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock charts.

Their journey continued with 2022’s Into The Night, recorded with Grammy-nomindated producer Johnny Karkazis (Disturbed, 3 Doors Down, Pop Evil)—who also produced Sunshine– which saw them achieve a fourth Top 40 Mainstream Rock Billboard hit single with “Saturday Night.” Along the way, The Black Moods appeared on festival stages including Aftershock and KUPD’s UFest, and even found time to cut a track with legendary producer/engineer Eddie Kramer (Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones) and collaborate with The Doors’ guitarist Robby Krieger on a rendition of The Doors’ classic track “Roadhouse Blues” with guest vocals from rock singer-songwriter Diamante recorded at Krieger’s L.A. studio. The track and a music video featuring footage from the recording session were released in November 2023.

Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame 2022 inductee DAVID MALLOY, today (April 30,) shares “Mason’s Wallet,” the third single and video from his debut album MIRROR, released Friday, April 26 via Nashville-based indie label Creative People with distribution by CmfShft. The album is a moving journal of MALLOY’s life, his love and loss. Listen to the song HERE and watch the video HERE.

The artistic triumph of “Mason’s Wallet,” and its compelling and beautifully shot video, is how MALLOY makes the personal “universal.” It reminds all of us about how those we’ve lost can live on in our hearts and minds. The video was directed and edited by Andrew Rozario, with cinematographer, Mike Stryker for Casting Life Films, and Ian Buchanan, created visual effects for Ian B. Designs.

“Writing ‘Mason’s Wallet’ was the start of the body of work that has become this album, says MALLOY, relating the story leading up to his writing this song about the loss of his son. “My stepbrother’s friend is a very successful spirit medium in Tucson Az. We were all having dinner one-night, pre-Covid. My father, Jim Malloy, had just passed away a few months prior and she kept saying she wanted to do a free reading for me, and my father was asking her to do this. My dad had been my mentor and best pal my whole life, so I was not surprised that he would ask for this if you believe in afterlife connections. I never get readings of any kind because I don’t want someone’s words about me or my future to be planted in my head, but this one time I caved in and said ‘OK.’ He continues, ‘During this session with this medium, she said, ‘your son wants to talk to you and wants to know why you’ve stopped writing songs, and if you would start back writing that he wants to help you.’

“Flash forward three years post-Covid, my wife Kathy and I decided to move out of downtown and live by a golf course. I’ve been playing golf since the age of 10. I had heard that the artist Luke Bryan was also a member of the course, and I didn’t know much about him, so I decided to watch a three-part documentary about his life. I did not know that he had gone through the loss of his brother and shortly after that, he lost his sister. They were all very close and of course this hit Luke extremely hard. Watching him speak about this, I found closure after 18 years of inwardly grieving over the loss of my own son, Mason. ‘I put Mason’s wallet in my right front pocket 18 years ago.’ These words are the opening line of the song ‘Mason’s Wallet.’ I’ve listed Mason as my co-writer on the song and he’s been with me in spirit throughout this project. I felt I was driven/pushed to write and create this music. God bless you Mason David Malloy.”

MIRROR is producer and hit songwriter DAVID MALLOY’s debut endeavor as a recording artist. “Something in my spirit was driving me to write these songs and record them.” Malloy continues, “So why now? Answer is, I wasn’t ready. Sounds ridiculous looking at my track record through the years, but that’s how I’ve felt, like I was a late bloomer. God isn’t done with me, there’s still more for me to do. I’ve survived kidney cancer, the downtown Nashville Christmas bombing and the worst…. the soul-crushing loss of my only son, Mason. Now here I am with 14 new self-penned songs and an album, except for the lyrics of the second verse of an older song called “Vital Signs” that Kris Burgenes co-wrote. The album’s first single and official music video “I Play Gimme Shelter” was released January 11. Listen to the song HERE, watch the YouTube video HERE and read the press release HERE. The second single “A Brand New Day” was released March 13. Listen to the song HERE and watch the YouTube video HERE. Read the press release HERE.

Throughout his career, DAVID MALLOY has been lauded for his technique of “becoming” the artist he was writing for or producing, similar to an actor getting into character. Many agree that this was a key to his success. He is credited with creating the crossover-influenced sound of country music that defined the genre in the 80’s and 90’s. He’s produced artists Dolly Parton, Kenny Rogers, Mindy McCready, Reba McEntire, Rodney Crowell, Rosanne Cash, J.D. Souther and more. As a songwriter, David Malloy was inducted into the 2022 Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame along with Shania Twain, Steve Wariner, Hillary Lindsey and Gary Nicholson and has co-penned numerous songs with Even Stevens and recording artist Eddie Rabbitt throughout Eddie’s career (whom MALLOY produced.) He has had his songs recorded by artists in multi-genres of music such as Badfinger, Bettye LaVette, Billy Burnette, Dr. Hook, Fleetwood Mac, Gregg Allman Band, Julianne Hough, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Tim McGraw, Roy Orbison and many more.

If you know Rita D’Albert—the visionary creator, promoter, and performer—then you’re aware that she creates events and experiences like no one else. And Miss Rita is pulling out every stop to ensure that the upcoming Miss Rita’s Lucha VaVOOM “Cinco Unchained” show goes off the rails in the best possible way. Watch a preview HERE.

It’s set to explode the night before Cinco De Mayo on Saturday, May 4 in Los Angeles at Don Quixote, located at 2811 E Olympic Blvd. Miss Rita promises to set everyone free with an unforgettable evening of Mexican masked wrestling and red-hot performances. She says to expect nothing less than “Anarchy in the 213”! The doors are at 8:00pm and the show is at 9:00pm (around two hours of pure madness), to be followed by a late-night dance party with DJ Your Muther.

Tickets for this not-to-be-missed event are on sale now, here. Ticket price/tiers include General Admission (Floor at $55) and General Admission (Mezzanine at $85).

“I wanted this first show to be a tribute to the East LA roots of Cinco de Mayo as a day of celebration,” says Miss Rita. “This is going back to our roots and acknowledging L.A. as the place where so much culture originates!” The evening will include mariachis, low riders, folklorico, minis, tamales, musica, mezcal, and tequila.

Miss Rita has much more to say, so listen up:

“The world is on fire and here we come with some MATCHES. LUCHA matches and Red HOT dancers and everything else we can throw into the fire.”
“I’m a notorious L.A. proponent. I love the culture and Los Angeles in particular is full of hidden treasures—well here’s a new one: DON QUIXOTE. If you’ve seen Lucha VaVOOM at the Mayan, it was wonderful., and we did it a lot. We pushed the boundaries of the venue and the audience. THIS YEAR, we are celebrating Cinco at a slightly more intimate venue with all kinds of places for performers to come out into the crowd & jump off balconies and just go wild. We want to play WITH you, not AT you!”
“Getting there is EASY, there is ample parking, FOOD, cocktails for the non-drivers in the crowd and we get to turn Don Quixote into a big fun dance party with all of us having fun together. Different venue, but the same crazy LVV madness you know and love!!”
“This Cinco we’re SHAKING IT UP and bringing the celebration back to where it all started… CINCO UNCHAINED with:
METALIK vs BESTIA666
JAZMIN ALLURE: AEW, ROH, WOW & DULCE TORMENTA: AEW, ROH former THE CRASH women’s world champ(!) vs LAS COCHINAS: WOW Superstars (all-girl match for the ages)

Born in Los Angeles, Lucha VaVOOM thrashed, thrived and thrilled audiences in 2002. Miss Rita’s Lucha VaVOOM was born on June 3, 2023 on the streets of Paris, playing for over 35,000 screaming fans of all ages. With Luchadores from Mexico and performers from Los Angeles, Miss Rita took Paris by storm. Her vision for the rebirth of Lucha VaVOOM is even more bonkers, crazy and unpredictable. Miss Rita’s Lucha VaVOOM—an explosion of highly entertaining expertise and absurdity—is coming to your town to shake the foundations with thundering Luchadores, electrifying performers, and the energy that only an anything-can-happen happening can bring. “We are unapologetic in our mission to bring FUN back to civilization,” exclaims Miss Rita, “and we’ll stop at nothing till we’ve conquered the known universe!”
