Country musician Dallas Smith has created a hotel concert series to raise money for his non-profit organization Lifted, “committed to ensuring that mental health services are accessible to anyone and everyone in need.”


The inaugural shows for the Lifted Hotel Festival will be held in Vancouver at The Westin Bayshore, Sept. 17-18, and viewed from the hotel's balconies.

Only 200 tickets will be sold per day, starting at $699 for the room (for four people) and concert. The on-sale begins at 10 a.m. (PT) on July 13 on the Showpass website.

"With lush and serene Stanley Park at its doorstep, water lapping the Coal Harbour Shores, snow-capped North Shore mountains in sight, and the vibrant city centre just around the corner, The Westin Bayshore, Vancouver is in perfect balance with its breathtaking surroundings," it reads on the hotel's overview page.

Drake Responds to Old Rumor That T.I. Associate Urinated On Him: ‘That Story Was For the Net’

Drake responded to an old rumor in a comment on his Instagram.

Drake has responded to an old rumor that a T.I. associated once urinated on the Canadian rapper.

The incident in question became a talking point back in 2015 after Meek Mill claimed in his diss track “Wanna Know” that Drizzy, “let Tip’s homie piss on [him] in a movie theater.” The rumor then gained even more traction after T.I. rapped on the 2020 L.I.B.R.A. track “We Did It Big” that an associate of his got “so drunk in LA” they started “pissin’ on Drake.”
