BARENAKED LADIES will make a stop at Mohegan Sun Arena on July 7 as part of the band’s Last Summer on Earth Tour.
Of course, this erroneously named tour began in 2012 — based on the idea that the ancient Mayan calendar predicted that year to be the end of the world.
The band has replicated the tour, which is now in its seventh incarnation. But that won’t stop fans from going to see the two-time Grammy nominees, who will be supported by both Five For Fighting and Del Amitri.
Tickets are $33.50 and are on sale via ticketmaster. com. Tickets are also available at the Mohegan Sun Box Office, subject to availability.
Liner notes
• Michael Franti & Spearhead will play the Pines Theater at Look Park in Northampton on June 22.
The show was recently announced as part of Franti’s Big Big Love 2023 Tour. The tour will stop in more than 50 venues from May to August. The tour will also stop in Boston at Leader Bank Pavilion.
“I believe that we all need ‘big big love’ in our lives, especially today. To me, that’s holding space for those we love closely, those we may have differences with and for the world as a whole,” Franti said on his website.
Tank & The Bangas will open the show.
• Comedian Tape Face will play MGM Springfield’s ARIA Ballroom on April 21 at 8 p.m.
Tape Face is a character created by performer Sam Wills, who was a finalist on “America’s Got Talent.” Willis spans a wide array of popular culture in his act, including silent film, vaudeville, mime puppetry, Motown and even the films of Patrick Swayze. Simon Cowell compared him to a modern Charlie Chaplin. Tickets go on sale today at MGMSpringfield.com
• There have been rumors that Dolly Parton endorses a certain brand of CBD and keto gummy products bearing her name.
But although Parton likes sweets as much as anyone, she’s “more the cake, cookie, and cornbread type,” according to a post on her Instagram account. Advertisements for these gummies have been appearing online, with photos of Parton as well as claims that the formula can “reverse dementia.” However, a post on Instagram insisted she has never endorsed these products.
“Dolly Parton is not affiliated with, has not endorsed and is not associated with any keto or CBD gummy product,” a representative going by the moniker “Team Dolly” wrote.
Parton is currently promoting a line of baking products for Duncan Hines.
