Despite getting the FIFA’s made-up “Peace Prize” to pleased Donald Trump\, it is not going well for the World Cup this Summer.  There is an ongoing boycott on the World Cup from people around the globe who feels that “the US is not safe to visit.”\n\n\nAll eyes are on Bad Bunny at the upcoming NFL’s Super Bowl LX on February 8th. It’s going to be a doozy to watch\, especially after his Grammy winning.\n\nThe far-right\,  pro-MAGA\, pro-ICE musicians\, led by Kid Rock\, with a bunch of people you’ve never heard of\, will be playing their own “All-American Halftime Show”.\n\n\nMeanwhile\, Midwest-emo icons American Football announced a 2026 World Tour.  Their tour will kick off in May\, and ending in Minneapolis\, in August.  Hopefully\, ICE will be out of the state by then.  We can always hope.\n\nThe band will be donating to immigration charities:\n\n\nIn response to the deadly violence and intimidation around the country provoked by ICE\, American Football will be partnering with PLUS1 to donate $£1/€1 from every ticket sold across the tour to Safe Passage International & The Illinois Coalition for Immigration & Refugee Rights; two essential organizations defending immigrant rights and supporting deportees\, migrants\, and refugees. \n\n \nTour Dates\n\n05/15 – Denver\, CO @ Summit Music Hall *\n05/17 – Salt Lake City\, UT @ Kilby Block Party\n05/18 – Boise\, ID @ Treefort Music Hall *\n05/19 – Seattle\, WA @ Moore Theater *\n05/20 – Portland\, OR @ Crystal Ballroom *\n05/22 – San Francisco\, CA @ Regency Ballroom *\n05/23 – Los Angeles\, CA @ The Wiltern *\n05/24 – San Diego\, CA @ The Observatory North Park *\n06/19 – Milan\, Italy @ Alcatraz !\n06/20 – Stuttgart\, Germany @ Im Wizeman !\n06/21 – Cologne\, Germany @ Die Kantine !\n06/23 – Brussels\, Belgium @ La Madeleine !\n06/24 – Amsterdam\, NL @ Paradiso !\n06/26 – Leeds\, UK @ O2 Academy !\n06/27 – London\, UK @ O2 Kentish Forum !\n07/08 – Boston\, MA @ Royale #\n07/09 – New York\, NY @ Brooklyn Paramount #\n07/10 – Philadelphia\, PA @ Union Transfer #\n07/11 – Washington\, DC @ 9:30 Club #\n07/14 – Richmond\, VA @ The National #\n07/15 – Asheville\, NC @ Orange Peel #\n07/16 – Atlanta\, GA @ Variety Playhouse #\n08/07 – Cleveland\, OH @ House of Blues ^\n08/08 – Toronto\, ON @ The Concert Hall ^\n08/09 – Pittsburgh\, PA @ Roxian Theatre ^\n08/10 – Columbus\, OH @ Newport Music Hall ^\n08/12 – Nashville\, TN @ Marathon Music Works ^\n08/13 – Indianapolis\, IN @ Deluxe at Old National Centre ^\n08/14 – Chicago\, IL @ The Salt Shed ^\n08/15 – Milwaukee\, WI @ Turner Hall Ballroom ^\n08/16 – Minneapolis\, MN @ First Avenue ^\n* Mei Semones: 5/15 – 5/24!
