The Beaches are announcing another NXNE surprise.

After the last girls have left the party for their special DJ set on June 12, The Beaches will play a special concert at a well-known Toronto venue on June 15.


It's a big summer for the breakout Canadian band, with a recent festival set at Coachella and another big one this summer at Osheaga in Montreal. Their new album No Hard Feelings comes out August 29 on AWAL, and its early singles are already rock radio staples. Their latest, "Did I Say Too Much" is coming soon.

The June 15 concert, in partnership with Billboard Canada and NXNE, will be a special intimate all-ages event. The only way to get in is with an NXNE wristband (for a lucky 100 festival-goers) or by winning tickets. To enter, comment on the below Instagram post and RSVP at this link. Winners will be drawn and notified on June 9, with the venue to be revealed later this week.

Tim Leiweke to Step Down as OVG’s CEO After Being Criminally Indicted for Bid-Rigging

The government accuses Leiweke of orchestrating a "conspiracy to rig the bidding process" to win a contract to build and operate the Moody Center in Austin.

Tim Leiweke, one of the most accomplished CEOs in the live entertainment and facilities business, announced today that he is stepping down as CEO of Oak View Group (OVG) after being indicted by the Department of Justice’s Antitrust Division for bid-rigging related to the company’s 2017 contract to build the Moody Center Arena in Austin.

On Wednesday (July 9), a federal grand jury in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas returned an indictment against Leiweke, alleging he orchestrated a “conspiracy to rig the bidding process for an arena at a public university in Austin, Texas.” Authorities say Leiweke conspired with the chief executive of Legends Hospitality to rig the bidding for the construction and management of Austin’s $338 million, 19,000-seat Moody Center.
