Just as her critically acclaimed, sold out THAT BASS TOUR comes to a close this week, GRAMMY® Award-nominated multi-platinum international superstar Meghan Trainor reveals dates for her headline summer jaunt — THE MTRAIN TOUR — supporting her #1 debut album TITLE [Epic Records].
THE MTRAIN TOUR kicks off Friday July 3 at Borgata in Atlantic City, New Jersey and will make stops in nearly 30 major markets across the country this summer.
Fans continue to recognize her as pop culture trailblazer and dynamic presence. She’s nominated for “Favorite New Artist” and “Song of the Year” for “All About That Bass” at 2015 Kids’ Choice Awards, airing March 28 on Nickelodeon. The next day Sunday, March 29, she will perform at the iHeartRadio Music Awards in Los Angeles, broadcast live on NBC from The Shrine Auditorium. At the ceremony, she’s also nominated in three top categories including “Best New Artist,” “Renegade,“ and “Song of the Year” for “All About That Bass.“
Continuing this incredible streak of success, “All About That Bass” now is six-times Platinum and its follow-up “Lips Are Movin'” went double Platinum, while the THAT BASS TOUR has been receiving unanimous critical praise. This was Trainor‘s very first tour, and each date actually sold out well in advance, proving her status as a live phenomenon.
“All About That Bass” is a juggernaut in and of itself. Meghan’s phenomenal two-time Grammy®-nominated debut single spent eight weeks at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, and has been certified 6-times RIAA platinum in the U.S. alone.
Globally, “All About That Bass” has hit #1 in 58 countries, generated more than 10 million downloads, over 275 million streams, and nearly 700 million YouTube views to date. The follow-up single “Lips Are Movin” has been certified RIAA double platinum, has reached the top five on the Billboard Hot 100, top five at top 40 radio, and has over 180 million video views.

The Globetrotters have played games on ice rinks, in dusty bullrings, haylofts, rooftops, empty swimming pools, on board aircraft carriers, on top of desks put together, and even during a rainstorm. The world famous Harlem Globetrotters, featuring some of the greatest athletes and entertainers on the planet, were at Staples Center in their famous tour “Washington Generals Revenge Tour.”In this show these great trotters played a portion of each game with a camouflage basketball as a sign of respect to all who protect our freedom. Big stars such as Big Easy Lofton, Ant Atkinson, Hi-Lite Bruton, Thunder Law, Bull Bullard, Firefly Fisher and Moose Weekes, plus female stars TNT Maddox, T-Time Brawner and Sweet J Ekworomadu* were received as heroes in LA.
In general terms this show is very enjoyable and exceptional. Even the half time show was entertaining and fun. This was definitely a family event and well worth the money. The players are very talented and this show includes comedy, dance, and amazing basketball. The guys keep the fans entertained. Also before the game started they had entertainment on the floor then after the game they had a free autograph session with the players. They were really nice and even posed for a few pictures with the kids. I would definitely recommend this show.

The Professional Bull Riders (PBR) will surprise for three nights of dirt-flying, heart-pounding, bull-stomping action featuring the PBR’s finest athletes going head-to-head 8 seconds at a time. This event will take place Feb. 6-8 at Honda Center, Anaheim over 750 tons of dirt — 1.5 million pounds — will be needed to produce the nearly 8-inch base on the arena floor required for the three-day event. Some of “The Dirt Guys” will head this show but Professional Bull Riders Reese Cates and Robson Palermo talked to GalaTView exclusively to explain the ins and outs of the toughest sport on dirt.
