By Anubhav Chaudhry

Fans are keen to discover where Taylor Swift is playing tonight, July 9 . Her monumental Eras Tour, which started in March 2023, has mesmerized audiences across the globe and is now in its European phase. Following three memorable shows in Amsterdam last week, Swift is ready to delight fans with hits from all her albums.

Where is Taylor Swift playing tonight, July 9?

Taylor Swift will perform at Letzigrund Stadium in Zurich tonight, July 9, 2024. This marks her first time performing in Switzerland as part of her Eras Tour.

The Letzigrund Stadium, located at Badenerstrasse 500, 8048 Zurich, is home to the football clubs FC Zürich and Grasshopper Club Zürich, as well as the athletics club LC Zürich. The stadium has a capacity of 30,930. Last week, Swift delivered three unforgettable shows in Amsterdam and is now continuing her European tour. According to her official website , she has two shows planned in Zurich, with tonight being the first.

Swift’s much-anticipated Eras Tour in Zurich is sold out. It attracts over 30,000 fans each night at Letzigrund Stadium. The shows run for 3 hours and 15 minutes and feature 45 songs. These include tracks from her latest album, The Tortured Poets Department, and beloved classics like “Love Story,” “Bad Blood,” “Shake It Off,” “Blank Space,” and “Wildest Dreams.” The American rock band Paramore, led by Hayley Williams, supports the European and UK leg of the tour.

The tour, set to conclude in December 2024 in Vancouver, has already broken numerous records and is the highest-grossing tour ever. Swift is bringing her iconic tour to Switzerland for the first time, and fans in Zurich can look forward to an evening of spectacular music and entertainment.

The sun might be shining strong above Vancouver this weekend, but once it heads past the horizon on Tuesday night (July 9) it's time for one of the city's favourite free summer traditions: Free outdoor movies in Stanley Park .

This year's stellar line-up of family-friendly flicks kicks off with the fan-favourite Pixar classic Toy Story.

Movie lovers will be flocking to the Evo Summer Cinema  in Stanley Park on Tuesday nights from this week and all summer through August 27. Pack a picnic, blanket, and grab your pals and join in the fun of catching a film on the big screen. The screen is set up in the grassy area by the Second Beach Pool.

Roast your chestnuts on Jinkx Monsoon, BenDeLaCreme's full list of Jinkx & DeLa Holiday Show 2024 tour dates

EW can exclusively reveal the "RuPaul's Drag Race" icons' 2024 holiday concert dates for November and December.

Jinkx Monsoon and BenDeLaCreme — drag’s hottest Yuletide ho, ho, hoes — are hitching their sleighs once again this Christmas season, and Entertainment Weekly can exclusively reveal the festive friends’ Jinkx & DeLa Holiday Show 2024 tour dates.

Directed and produced by DeLa, the longtime collaborators and RuPaul’s Drag Race alums’ seventh collaborative holiday production will hit 33 cities for 38 shows across North America, beginning in November and running through December.

Plot details for this year’s show (which both DeLa and Jinkx co-wrote for DeLa’s BenDeLaCreme Presents production company) are still wrapped under the tree, though fans can expect lots of camp, over-the-top spectacle, visual gags, dance numbers, and new songs from the performers.

Jacob Ritts

“As another year defiantly slaps the, 'Well, at least it can’t get any worse' out of our mouths, we need ways not just to cope, but to gather strength. Are there any tools greater than comedy, sequins, and song? Yeah, absolutely. But those are the gifts Jinkx and I have to share, and we hope you’ll share them with us," DeLa tells EW in a statement. "All the lights and songs and trappings of the holidays were created to help get us through the coldest darkest part of the year. To keep our spirits bright as we steel ourselves for the winter to come and remember that spring will return once again. In a world that feels increasingly dark, please come make some light with us. We will gladly share our warmth."

Adds Jinkx: “I seriously can’t believe it’s the holidays again already. Who has time to plan festivities when the world is bananas? What are we supposed to do when everything feels so chaotic? Well, what DeLa and I do is put on a show. The holidays are upon us whether we like it or not, but the Jinkx and DeLa team are well equipped to bring you the holiday cheer and warm feeling of community we all need in the harsh winter months. So, vote and get your tickets when it’s time to do each of those things!"

After winning fans over on RuPaul’s Drag Race seasons 5 and 7, respectively, Jinkx and DeLa mounted a multi-year creative partnership, also including past tours and a joint appearance on Hulu’s  Drag Me to Dinner competition series. They also co-starred in Clea DuVall's Kristen Stewart-starring holiday rom-com  Happiest Season — after DuVall attended one of their holiday shows — as well as their   Jinkx & DeLa Holiday Special  movie .

Outside of their work together, Jinkx became the first drag artist to play the role of Mama Morton in the Broadway production of Chicago in 2023, shortly after becoming the first-ever queen to win RuPaul’s Drag Race twice when she triumphed over All Stars 7 , the show’s first all-winner edition, in 2022. She later booked a major role as a villain on the most recent season of Doctor Who .

Sign up for  Entertainment Weekly 's free daily newsletter   to get breaking TV news, exclusive first looks, recaps, reviews, interviews with your favorite stars, and more.

DeLa has also fronted successful solo tours, including shows for Terminally Delightful and Ready to Be Committed, and recently directed fellow Drag Race alum Monét X Change’s Life Be Lifin’ one-woman show. After the 2024 Jinkx & DeLa Holiday Show , she’ll helm Jinkx’s Live at Carnegie Hall show in February 2025.

Presale tickets for The Jinkx & DeLa Holiday Show go on sale July 9 at 1 p.m. ET/10 a.m. PT with the code HOHOHO, with general sales beginning July 12 at 1 p.m. ET/10 a.m. PT on the tour’s website . VIP packages include a photo opportunity and a Q&A with both Jinkx and DeLa.

Hallmark Announces 40 New Christmas Movies and Finding Mr. Christmas Competition to Name the Next Holiday Hunk

The series marks the network's first reality competition and will be hosted by Jonathan Bennett

  • Hallmark announced at the TCA Summer Press Tour on Thursday, July 11, that it will debut 40 new holiday movies later this year
  • The network's Hallmark Movies Now streaming service will be replaced by Hallmark+ in September
  • Jonathan Bennett will host Hallmark’s first reality competition, Finding Mr. Christmas, to name a new holiday hunk

Oh what fun!

Hallmark announced at the TCA Summer Press Tour on Thursday, July 11, that Jonathan Bennett will host the network’s first reality competition series, titled Finding Mr. Christmas . The show will see 10 aspiring actors face off in a variety of challenges — with a Hallmark twist — to be crowned the network’s next leading man and take home the title of Mr. Christmas. The winner will receive a leading role in one of this year’s Countdown to Christmas movies on Hallmark Channel.

Melissa Peterman will serve as the lead judge and special guest judges will join her and Bennett, who is also the show’s co-creator and executive producer, throughout the series.

"There are two types of people in the world. There are people that watch Hallmark movies and then there are liars," Bennett, 43, said at the TCA event. "The idea for Finding Mr. Christmas ... was sparked out of something that's really happening in real life where people want to join the network, they want to be part of the family because they see how successful the brand is and how much people love the brand and they want to be in on the party. And so we thought, why not make a journey that people can watch on TV?"

Bennett said that the competition will include LGBTQ+ contestants because "I'm a Hallmark holiday hunk and I'm pretty freaking gay."

"I call it the Kelly Clarkson effect," Bennett continued. "Why would we fall in love with Kelly Clarkson? Well, we watched her journey on American Idol for the first time to fall in love with her. So here we're actually building our next star because you're going to be able to fall in love with our different contestants and watch their journey along the way."

Hallmark also announced that it will premiere 40 new Christmas movies this year between its flagship and Hallmark Mystery channels, and revealed that a new streaming platform, Hallmark+, will roll out in September. Hallmark+ will feature new and exclusive content — including Finding Mr. Christmas and limited series Holidazed and Mistletoe Murders — membership benefits and rewards, exclusive access to Hallmark experiences and events, and gifts throughout the year. This marks a move away from the network's current streaming service, Hallmark Movies Now.

Hallmark+ will launch with the first movie trilogy told from a male point of view, The Groomsmen , similar to its The Wedding Veil movie series. The Groomsmen will star Bennett, Tyler Hynes and B.J. Britt.

Kim Nunneley/Hallmark Media

Finding Mr. Christmas won’t be Peterman’s first time being part of Hallmark’s holiday programming, either. The Reba alum, 53, starred in Haul Out the Holly and its 2023 sequel, Haul Out the Holly: Lit Up , as well as A Gingerbread Romance .

"I think what Hallmark does so well is, you get to know ... you feel like you know the characters, you can relate to them and it feels comforting," Peterman said on the Hallmark Happenings podcast . "You can watch it with everybody in the room, which I think is always a great thing. And it feels good. Like, you finish watching and you just feel better. It took you to a place, it told you a story, which is what I think, what TV can do the ... what TV does best is when it tells you a story and you want to be part ... you want to be in that story, you want to know those people.”

Fred Hayes/Hallmark Media

Peterman’s Haul Out the Holly costar Lacey Chabert has her own upcoming Hallmark series, too. Chabert, 41, will host Celebrations with Lacey Chabert , an unscripted series in which she’ll surprise children, families and adults who have made positive impacts in their communities with once-in-a-lifetime parties. Celebrations with Lacey Chabert will premiere on Hallmark+ later this year.

"I learned as much as I could about the person and their story, and honestly, most of it is live and on the job because you end up talking to their family members or coworkers or people that they've affected their lives for the better and they tell you so much about them and then you find out so much about this person," Chabert said at the July 11 TCA presentation. "And then finally, with the help of these incredible party planners, Lisa, Marissa, we throw them a huge surprise celebration at the end. And then I finally get to meet the person that I've learned so much about in preparation for the party. And it's every time, it's just such a rewarding experience and so joyful and I can't wait for people to watch the show."

Hallmark stars Wes Brown , Luke Macfarlane and Ashley Williams will host shows on Hallmark+ as well. Brown's Ready, Set, Glow! will follow the actor, 42, as he travels to some of the most impressive and festive holiday light setups to meet the people behind the displays. Macfarlane, 44, will help families renovate a room in their home in Home Is Where the Heart Is , and Williams, 45, will assist parents in setting up their adult children in Small Town Setup.

"Getting to tell these stories of real love — I am a Hallmark actress, but even more than that, I am a wife and a mother," Williams said. "And what brings me the most joy in my life is that so getting people are, they're going to fall in love on our show. I want to officiate weddings, I want to get their babies. So getting to tell a story like that in a way that really, properly represents our audience by bringing them onto the screen is one of the most exciting things that I can even imagine."

Additionally, Hallmark previously announced that it will be filming a docuseries aboard its Hallmark Channel Christmas Cruise when it sets sail out of Miami on the Norwegian Gem in November. The network said in a statement that the show will capture “the magic of the cruise through the eyes of the most passionate fans as they embark on the adventure of a lifetime” to give viewers “an exclusive look at the immersive Christmas-themed experience that only Hallmark can provide, sharing in the joy and unparalleled excitement of the fan community.”

Along with the cruise, Hallmark and Hallmark Media will be hosting an immersive event this holiday season at the Crown Center in Kansas City, Mo., home of the brand’s headquarters. Every weekend from Nov. 29 through Dec. 23, fans will have the opportunity to meet Hallmark movie stars from their favorite holiday films. Bennett, Brown, Chabert, Hynes, 38, and Williams will be among the special guests participating in the experience, as well as  Nikki DeLoach ,  Andie MacDowell ,  Rachel Boston ,  Aimee Garcia , Pascale Hutton, Benjamin Ayres,  Paul Campbell , Taylor Cole, Crystal Lowe, Brendan Penny and Kavan Smith.

In terms of new scripted programming, Hallmark will adapt KJ Dell’Antonia’s New York Times best-selling novel  The Chicken Sisters  into an eight-episode series starring Genevieve Angelson, Schuyler Fisk, Wendie Malick and Lea Thompson . The show is expected to air in September on Hallmark+.

The Rolling Stones to rock Vancouver Friday in only Canada tour stop

Mick Jagger, of the Rolling Stones, performs during the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival on Thursday, May 2nd, 2024, at the Fair Grounds Race Course in New Orleans.

By Hana Mae Nassar

Posted July 5, 2024 12:56 pm.

Friday’s a big day for Stones fans in Vancouver, as the iconic English rock and roll band gears up to play the only Canadian stop of its latest tour .

The Rolling Stones are set to play BC Place as part of the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer’s tour of the new Hackney Diamonds album.

Fans are being reminded to prepare ahead of the show, with many rules to take note of.

Here's everything you need to know ahead of tomorrow's concert! Details: https://t.co/C6XOChA361 pic.twitter.com/QKccH7EEUt — BC Place (@bcplace) July 4, 2024

BC Place says it has “implemented a restricted bag policy,” which is part of what it calls its “integrated security plan.”

Many items are also prohibited at the concert, including studded jewelry, long wallet chains, and spurs. Fans are also asked to leave signs and posters, professional cameras, and umbrellas at home.

“Bottles of any kind are prohibited on the Floor Level,” BC Place adds. “Soft-sided bottles or containers up to 1 litre capacity are permitted onto Levels 2, 3, and 4 only.”

Friday’s show also comes as temperatures rise amid a heatwave in Metro Vancouver. With BC Place an open-air stadium, officials say concert-goers should “dress accordingly” for seasonal outdoor temperatures.

Fans rolling into Vancouver to catch rock legends

Many out-of-town fans have flown into Vancouver to see the legends take the stage, hoping to get some Satisfaction as the band promotes its first album of original material in 18 years on the road.

Campbell River Mayor Kermit Dahl is among those who travelled to catch the show.

“I had decided that my wife and I would go to the next Stones concert regardless of where it was. But a 20-minute flight from Campbell River to YVR? We’re going to spend two days here. It’s good to check this off the bucket list,” he told CityNews Friday morning.

“I’ve been waiting a long time for this day. Since I was a kid.”

Dahl’s hoping to hear Satisfaction from the award-winning group, fronted by 80-year-old Mick Jagger.

Doors at BC Place open at 6 p.m.

Festival season is in full swing , as are the mega tours that were put on hold during COVID-19. Metro Vancouver is going to be packed with choice performances in July.

Why these are the top Vancouver concerts to see in a busy July Back to video

Obviously, there is always a draw for those legacy acts from long ago times, with such ’60s legends as the Rolling Stones in town. (Neil Young was also supposed to perform here this month, but had to cancel due to illness .) But there is also plenty of talent from more recent decades gracing stages this month as well.

Plus, with the weather improving, there are some great outdoor EDM-focused events to attend, too.

Here are five shows to see in July and why:

The Rolling Stones Hackney Diamonds Tour ’24

When: July 5, 8 p.m. Where: B.C. Place Tickets and info: From $197.50 at ticketmaster.ca

When almost all of their peers are retired or expired, core Rolling Stones members Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood keep on rocking. Hackney Diamonds, the quintet’s latest release, is getting some of the best reviews for any new music from the group in decades and has garnered at least one hit with the track Angry. That tune and classics from the combo’s incredibly deep back catalogue are popping up in set lists for the new tour, including many fan-voted songs such as Doo Doo Doo Doo (Heartbreaker) and Monkey Man, and Keith is singing up to four tunes nightly.

FVDED in the Park Summer Music Festival

When: July 5-8 Where: Holland Park, Surrey Tickets and info: fvdedinthepark.com

One of the most-anticipated events on the summer festival calendar for EDM fans, FVDED in the Park never fails to showcase a deep dive into acts from across the genre. This year’s headliners include long-lived crew Swedish House Mafia, Diplo and the super-duo KX5, featuring Deamau5 and Kaskade. With local, national and international artists gracing the several stages in the event’s Surrey park setting, this is a dance-a-thonic good time. NOTE: 90 per cent sold.

Art Bergmann Songs of the Underclass 10th Anniversary

When: July 26, 8 p.m. Where: Rickshaw Theatre Tickets and info: Rickshawtheatre.com

This performance from 2020 Order of Canada recipient and acclaimed singer/songwriter punk legend Art Bergmann will focus on his Songs of the Underclass. Released by indie label weewerk , this four-song EP represented Bergmann’s return to recording after a lengthy break. Many would say his writing has never been better than on this record and the ones that followed.

SWOLLENFEST with Swollen Members and guests

When: July 27, 5 p.m. Where: Hollywood Theatre, 3123 West Broadway Tickets and info: hollywoodtheatre.ca

Back in the day, Swollen Members were the West Coast rulers in the Canadian hip-hop scene. The group of rappers Madchild and Prevail with DJ Rob the Viking, as well as former members Moka Only, Easy Roc and Zodak scored four Juno Awards and were the best-selling Canadian hip-hop group in Canada. Singles like Lady Venom and Fuel Injected had plenty of radio love as well. The group last dropped new music in 2021 with the single Tetris, before Madchild returned to focusing on solo releases and Prevail and Rob the Viking pursued projects such as XL The Band. For SWOLLENFEST, the core trio reunites with additional guest turns from legendary Brooklyn artist Talib Kweli, Hieroglyphics crew’s Casual, pub shows by Junk, Naduh, Sirreal, Teon Gibbs, and Lowkita, and a special appearance by Moka Only. DJs Neil Armstrong, Flipout and Science will spin all night too.

Norah Jones: Visions tour

When: July 30, 7:30 p.m. Where: Queen Elizabeth Theatre Tickets and info: livenation.com

Norah Jones is one of the most awarded adult pop acts on the circuit. Not only does she have nine Grammy Awards to her credit, she also has global sales of more than 50 million albums. That number will be going up with the new album Visions, which shifts the slick easy-listening style of her massive debut Come Away With Me into somewhat looser territory in the spirit of her side band, the Little Willies. While the album is more of a soul sounding release, the performance is sure to pack in material from the singer/pianist’s many other albums. It would be hard to find a more perfect date night gig for rekindling romance than this Gen X star.
