Welcome to the glorious capital of Russia, Moscow! You’ll be met by your driver at the airport and taken to your centrally located hotel.

The unmissable addition to Disneyland’s Star Tours ride? Space whales

• Show more sharing options
• Copy Link URL Copied!

Disneyland’s Star Tours: The Adventures Continue has proved to be one of the theme park’s most versatile attractions.

Though perhaps no longer the groundbreaking technological marvel that it was when it debuted in 1987, the flight simulator ride has shifted with the franchise, withstanding cultural trends and aligning with whichever version of “Star Wars” is popular at the moment — or in need of a marketing boost.

The latest update to Star Tours brings the ride into the Disney+ era, with nods to series such as “The Mandalorian,” “Ahsoka” and “Andor.” More noteworthy, at least for Disneyland guests, is that the centerpiece of the latest upgrades is a scene that provides a slight tonal shift for the attraction, one focused, albeit briefly, on slowing down and giving so-called starspeeder riders a look at one of “Star Wars’” more majestic creatures. Star Tours will now rocket guests straight to a moment that boasts a close-up with the purrgil, essentially large, mysterious space whales that move with a galactic grace.

Travel & Experiences

Want to see Disneyland’s most advanced animatronics? Visit Tiana’s Bayou Adventure

With new droids at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge and some of the most lifelike characters ever created at Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, Disney is looking to wow guests.

April 4, 2024

For the 3-D attraction, its a moment that provides a breather. The motion simulator lingers for a few seconds, and our makeshift animatronic captain, the golden droid C-3PO, turns to face riders. C-3PO shifts into tour guide mode, appearing in awe of the purrgil and commenting on how serene the animals are.

“This will be different from other sequences, to have a moment,” said Tom Fitzgerald, a senior creative executive with Walt Disney Imagineering, the company’s secretive arm devoted to theme park attractions, when asked about taking a patient approach to the scene. “You don’t get many moments. It’s so compact. But it’s a moment to let people look at the beauty of this, and the 3-D gives you the scale of those creatures.”

The additions to Star Tours are arguably the centerpiece of Disneyland’s all-things-”Star Wars” promotion Season of the Force , which debuted this past weekend and runs through June 2. The “Star Wars” festival also sees new droids making their way to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge through the duration of the event, as well as the return of Space Mountain overlay Hyperspace Mountain and a new free scavenger hunt that aims to get players to pay close attention to the minute details of Galaxy’s Edge.

Fitzgerald has been with Star Tours since the ride’s beginning, and oversaw the latest Star Tours additions, which further deviate the attraction from any strict “Star Wars” timeline and instead focus it on being a sort of “greatest hits” for the brand. The purrgil scene also features Rosario Dawson’s Ahsoka Tano and the character’s svelte, fast-rotating starship above the planet of Seatos. Tano’s ship inspired Imagineers to see if they could add some new tricks to the attraction, mainly in the way the simulator can move. When Tano’s vessel twists and spins, for instance, the starspeeder attempts to mimic it, endeavoring to create the feeling of a 360-barrel roll. At other times, the starspeeder glides among the purrgil.

Key to Star Tours’ longevity, and what makes it the rare motion simulator that doesn’t feel rooted in the 1980s, is its ability to create new sensations via its movements. The ride now has more than 250 storyline variations, and when adding to the attraction, Imagineers are looking for ways to heighten the contrast among its various scenes, both tonally and in its maneuvers. Though Star Tours is typically randomized — for the foreseeable future, and definitely throughout Disneyland’s spring Season of the Force promotion — all riders are guaranteed to visit the new location and receive an early-flight transmission from one of the recently added characters.

“How do we make each of the places we go have a different color palette?” says Fitzgerald, who then recalls different “Star Wars” planets that can be featured in the attraction’s random programming. “Mustafar is all lava. Kashyyyk is all green jungle. So they feel very different when you get the combos. And then motion-based. Could we do a barrel roll? That’s the fun of doing it, and programming it and trying it. And we needed something else. What have we not done? So with the purrgils, what if we do skiing through the tentacles? We had never done that. So those are the two big motion changes.”

The attraction is also livened up by appearances from Dawnson’s Tano, Diego Luna’s Cassian Andor and a masked Din Djarin from “The Mandalorian.” While the latter is played and portrayed by Pedro Pascal on the Disney+ series, many have noted that the Djarin on “Star Tours” features a slightly different vocal cadence than Pascal, and an Imagineering spokesperson says the company is not revealing its voice actors for the attraction. Nevertheless, “The Mandalorian” moment features some comic relief — and clever 3-D usage — courtesy of Grogu, colloquially refered to as “baby Yoda,” and his penchant to use Force powers to toy with and eat frogs.

Here are 5 takeaways from the Themed Entertainment Assn.’s annual gathering in Hollywood.

March 20, 2024

The three appear as transmissions that help define the suddenly urgent narrative of Star Tours. “Each one is different,” Fitzgerald says. “Mando and Grogu we played for comedy. And Andor is mysterious. You don’t see his face. You see this thing coming toward you. Is that a friend or foe? And then he pulls his hood and the music changes.” Tano, meanwhile, arrives like an old friend who knows C-3PO and fellow droid R2D2. Riders are advised to pay close attention to the opening cinematic in a ship’s hangar, as there is a new randomized opening that features Tano in a lightsaber battle with Stormtroopers.

As for why the new additions perhaps lean a bit more heavily on “Ahsoka,” as it is that series that features the planet of Seatos and the purrgil, Fitzgerald had a simple answer: yes, it’s the space whales.

With access to early scripts from Lucasfilm, Fitzgerald says he singled out the purrgil scenes. “Reading about that, not knowing what they looked like initially, I was going, that’s going to be really cool.” And, at least for a few seconds, relatively calming.

‘Is She Sure?’ How the Breeders Joined Olivia Rodrigo’s Guts Tour.

The ’90s alt-rock icons hit the Madison Square Garden stage for the first time Friday night, after the 21-year-old pop star invited them to join her on the road.

By Jenn Pelly

Olivia Rodrigo remembers her life in two parts: before she heard the Breeders’ “Cannonball,” and after, she told the crowd at Madison Square Garden on Friday night, when her Guts World Tour arrived in New York.

And that is how the ’90s alt-rock idols came to play the New York arena for the first time last week, 31 years after that song from their platinum 1993 album, “Last Splash,” charted on Billboard’s Hot 100.

Rodrigo’s camp initially approached the Breeders in September about opening some dates on the tour supporting her second album, “Guts .” “My first reaction was, Wow, that seems kind of odd,” the band’s bassist, Josephine Wiggs, said in an interview. “But after I’d thought about it for a while, I thought, ‘That’s actually really genius.’”

Kim Deal, the singer-guitarist who leads the band with her twin sister, Kelley, said she was surprised when they got the invite. “I’d heard ‘Drivers License,’ and I liked that a lot,” she said, referring to Rodrigo’s breakout 2021 smash.

Kelley wondered if it might be a mistake. “I thought, ‘Is she sure? Do they really mean us?’”

But Rodrigo made her enthusiasm clear when the shows were confirmed, reaching out personally to share her excitement. “She texted each one of us individually,” Kelley recalled.

“And said, ‘Really happy to hear that you’re going to do this,’” Wiggs added. “Very classy.”

Aside from Kim, who played Madison Square Garden in 1992 when her earlier band, Pixies, opened for U2, no one in the group had ever performed at the venue before. Kim hadn’t been back since, and said she had no memory of that previous gig: “I usually remember the bad shows, so it’s a good thing that I really don’t remember that one.”

With the first date in the books, the Breeders spent part of Saturday afternoon glimpsing Rodrigo’s soundcheck — she was belting “Ballad of a Homeschooled Girl” to an empty arena — and then briefly chatting with her. “So easy to talk to!” Kim reported as the Breeders headed up to the stage to adjust their own amps and pedals. The lights were up; two men vacuumed the previous night’s pink and purple star-shaped confetti.

“How about we do a piece of ‘Cannonball,’ like when everything comes in?” Kim asked the band, which also includes the drummer Jim Macpherson. They had already tested the distorted ahh-ooohh-ahh vocalizations that open the song. Kim blew a whistle to emulate the record’s microphone feedback.

Rodrigo was born a decade after the release of “Cannonball,” but the 21-year-old heard it as a teenager and remembers “instantly falling in love with the Breeders,” she wrote in an email. “I thought Kim was the coolest girl in the world,” Rodrigo said. “I’m very inspired by them and everything they stand for. They are absolutely iconic, and playing these shows with them has been a surreal honor.” (The Breeders have joined the tour for four shows at the Garden that wrap on Tuesday, and four more at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles later this summer.)

Mischief, wryness, confidence and camaraderie feel encoded into the poised riffs and bass line of “Cannonball,” and it’s easy to imagine girls gently headbanging along to it for eternity. Rodrigo went louder and crunchier on “Guts,” long inspired by artists who are “not trying to recreate a version of rock music that guys make,” as she told The New York Times last year.

Soundcheck proceeded like a supercut. “Should we do half of ‘Do You Love Me Now’?” Kim asked before crashing the song open and letting its twin harmonies ring out. “A little piece of ‘Drivin’ on 9’?” signaling the aching country tune. “Should we throw in ‘Gigantic’?” Kim asked before unleashing the titanic anthem she co-wrote and sang as a member of Pixies. (She dedicated its “big, big love” to Rodrigo during the show.)

Earlier, the band sat in a green room processing its Guts experience so far. Kelley had been impressed by the emotional arc of Rodrigo’s songs the previous night. “I was texting somebody, ‘I’m so empowered right now!’” She later reached out to praise Rodrigo’s voice as “really special,” observing, “Her tone and control are spectacular!”

“She performs with a really good sense of humor,” Kim added.

Wiggs said she could hear some Breeders commonalties in a Rodrigo chord progression, while Macpherson detected a bit of the band in “Jealousy, Jealousy,” from her first album, “Sour.” “The bass riff was almost like a ‘Hag,’ ‘Hellbound’ -ish kind of thing,” he said.

The Breeders expressed shock at how young Rodrigo’s fans were, and the collective decibel of their screams on Friday night. “You’re going to be surprised by how loud it was,” Kelley said. Weren’t their own amps loud, too? “Not louder than 30,000 tweens,” she said.

Kim roasted her bandmates for withholding stage banter the night before. “Looking out at the sea of 7- and 8-year-olds, I had no idea what to say,” Wiggs said, deadpan. “I could just about manage to say something to people who are obviously teenagers. I was like, OK, maybe I’ll try to make eye contact with the dads.”

The Deal sisters are no strangers to parental accompaniment at gigs. “My dad used to have Ray Charles in his headphones, watching us play, when he drove us around in the r.v. with Nirvana,” Kim said, referring to the band’s 1992 tour with what was then the biggest band on Earth. “He’d have his cassette Walkman,” Kelley added. “He was a big supporter, but he’d heard us a million times.”

In Kurt Cobain’s liner notes to Nirvana’s 1992 compilation “Incesticide,” he detailed the recent life experiences that had meant the most to him since “becoming an untouchable boy genius,” including “playing with the Breeders” on the list. “Nirvana and Foo Fighters would really curate their opening bands, which is I think what Olivia is doing in a way, curating new music that she wants fans to get to know,” Kelley said.

Most of the young people watching from the front rows on Saturday were not familiar with the Breeders — who are all in their 50s and 60s — though there were exceptions. “My parents know who they are!” exclaimed an 18-year-old fan named Mack. “My dad said they had some jams back when he was younger. He didn’t know if I would like them, but I trust Olivia.”

Another fan, Elle, 16, was with her father, who saw the Breeders at Lollapalooza alongside Smashing Pumpkins and the Beastie Boys. “For me, this was really cool,” he said. “I don’t know the tour’s other openers as well, but I’ve loved the Breeders since ’94 when I saw them last.”

Rodrigo’s fans were decked out in sparkling skirts, purple bows and platform boots in honor of their heroine, who took the stage in a series of short, glittering skirts. The Breeders are known for more understated sartorial choices. Had they given any thought about to what to wear?

“I sent out a ‘help’ text to a friend of mine,” Kelley admitted. “I said, I’m trying to upgrade my look from my T-shirt and jeans that I typically wear, but staying in my comfort zone. He said, ‘I find glitter or sequins to always be the answer.’ I just waited for him to laugh or something. That was no help to me at all. So I went with a T-shirt and jeans.”

“Like she’s been dressing since seventh grade,” Kim said.

Aerosmith announces rescheduled dates for farewell tour

TEXAS — Aerosmith has announced new dates for previously rescheduled dates on their farewell “Peace Out” tour. The extensive North American tour will make stops in Austin, Dallas and San Antonio.

The original dates for the tour were cancelled after only three shows after Steven Tyler sustained a vocal injury that lead the band to postpone their farewell tour to 2024. The tour comes to Texas in the fall, starting with San Antonio on Nov 3, followed by Austin and Dallas on Nov. 6 and Nov. 9., respectively.

The Black Crowes will also return as Aerosmith’s special guests on the tour.

All previously purchased tickets will be honored for the new dates, according to the band, but if you’re looking to snag a fresh pair of seats for the show, tickets go on sale Friday, April 12.

Aerosmith announces rescheduled 2024-25 farewell tour dates. Get tickets

No need to “Dream On” much longer.

Aerosmith has finally announced the rescheduled dates of their ‘Peace Out’ farewell tour with special guests The Black Crowes and Teddy Swims on select dates.

The 40-concert jaunt will take the Rock and Roll Hall of Famers to arenas all over North America from September 2024 up until February 2025.

Notable shows include stops at Newark, NJ’s Prudential Center on Saturday, Dec. 28 and New York’s Madison Square Garden on Feb. 23, 2025.

Their last gig is scheduled for Feb. 26, 2025 at Buffalo’s KeyBank Center .

This upcoming trek will be the second attempt at rescheduling the tour; Steven Tyler sustained vocal cord damage at a Sept. 9, 2023 concert in Long Island — just three shows into their run — and the band had to postpone indefinitely.

“All previously purchased tickets will be honored for the rescheduled shows,” Aerosmith shared on Instagram .

If you haven’t gotten tickets yet and want to sing along to “Sweet Emotion,” “Walk This Way,” “Don’t Want To Miss A Thing” and so many more hits one last time, tickets can be scooped up for all ‘Peace Out’ concerts as soon as today.

Although inventory isn’t available on Ticketmaster until Friday, April 12, fans who want to ensure they have tickets ahead of time can purchase on sites like Vivid Seats before tickets are officially on sale.

Vivid Seats is a secondary market ticketing platform, and prices may be higher or lower than face value, depending on demand.

They have a 100% buyer guarantee that states your transaction will be safe and secure and will be delivered before the event.

A complete calendar including all rescheduled ‘Peace Out’ tour dates, venues, and links to buy tickets can be found below.

The original Aerosmtih lineup won’t be fully intact on this run of concerts.

Yes, lead singer Steven Tyler, guitarist Joe Perry, bassist Tom Hamilton and rhythm guitarist Brad Whitford are slated to perform at all shows.

However, drummer Joey Kramer will be sitting this run of shows out to “focus his attention on his family and health” according to  AP News .

Kramer, 72, will be replaced by John Douglas who has drummed with the band since 2019.

Aerosmith got three shows deep into their ‘Peace Out’ Farewell Tour before postponing.

For a closer look, here’s what they played at a recent live show courtesy of  Set List FM :

01.) “Back in the Saddle”

02.) “Same Old Song and Dance”

03.) “Rag Doll”

04.) “Livin’ on the Edge”

05.) “Janie’s Got a Gun”

06.) “No More No More”

On all dates except their opener when they’ll perform with Teddy Swims, Aerosmith will be joined by  The Black Crowes aka Rolling Stone’s “best new band of 1990.”

The band, known for mega hits “Hard To Handle” and “She Talks To Angels,” is also conducting a solo tour of their own this year including a show at New York’s Radio City Music Hall on April 27.

In 1973, the 25-year-old Tyler was given guardianship of 16-year-old Julia Holcomb so the two could live together.

After a tumultuous three-year relationship, the two broke up.

Nearly 50 years later, Holcomb — who now goes by Julia Misley — filed a lawsuit in December 2022. In the suit, she claimed Tyler sexually assaulted her, forced her to abort their child, and convinced her to drink and take drugs after he promised to serve as her guardian.

In the trial, Tyler alleged the relationship was consensual and had immunity because of his guardian status.

Legal experts have since said “caregiver immunity” does not exist if you sexually abuse the person you’ve taken in.

“The lawsuit came in the final days of California’s Child Victims Act, which temporarily lifted the statute of limitations for survivors of childhood sexual abuse to come forward with their allegations,” Consequence of Sound reported.

Jeanne Bellino, another minor that was sexually abused by Tyler in the 1970s, also filed a lawsuit against him; US District Judge Lewis Kaplan threw the case out this February because she “had waited too long to sue Tyler under a New York City law protecting victims of gender-motivated violence,” Reuters wrote.

“(Kaplan) said Bellino did not qualify for a two-year window to pursue claims that would otherwise extend beyond statutes of limitations, because she did not allege that Tyler’s conduct posed a “serious risk of physical injury.”

Many of the biggest acts that defined the sound of the ’70s and ’80s are back on the road this year for another spin.

Maynard James Keenan's Sessanta tour in Phoenix: Here's what - and who - you'll see on stage

Maynard James Keenan is bringing a tour celebrating his 60th birthday to Talking Stick Resort Amphitheatre in Phoenix for two nights, the second of which is his actual 60th birthday — Wednesday, April 17.

The tour is called Sessanta because it’s Italian for 60.

The concerts feature members of A Perfect Circle, Puscifer and Primus not only sharing a stage, but joining each other's performances as the night unfolds with all three bands onstage for the duration of the concert.

It's a sequel of sorts to Cinquanta (Italian for 50), a 50th birthday celebration Keenan threw himself at the Greek Theatre in Griffith Park, Los Angeles, with members of A Perfect Circle, Puscifer and Failure.

We caught up with Keenan, who rose to fame as the singer for Tool in the '90s and became a celebrated winemaker after leaving L.A. for Jerome, Arizona, to talk about the tour before he'd sorted out the details at rehearsal or released the three-song tour EP, “Sessanta E.P.P.P.”

This is what he had to say.

Maynard James Keenan on life as a rock star turning 60

How does it feel to be turning 60?

My ribs hurt.

Yeah, I pulled my ribs somehow yesterday. But yeah, (expletive) like that. You stand up from bed and your knee pops out. And you're like, "I didn't really do anything. Why is that?"

Does it feel like your relationship to what you do has changed much as you've gotten older?

I think it's a better relationship, just figuring out more efficient ways to go about writing, to go about sharing, to go about recording, especially with things progressing with technology. It's just better all around.

In that the technology makes different ways of collaborating possible?

Absolutely. Just in general, being able to get your ideas out. It used to be you'd spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to go to a studio. And you're kind of writing in a rehearsal space that smells like wet socks and beer. Now I can write in the hotel room.

I can see where that would be a better situation. And this tour is a bit of an extension of what you did with the 50th birthday concerts?

Yeah, absolutely. The rotation where one band will play a few songs and then the next band plays a few songs. It's gonna be fun.

The logistics of A Perfect Circle, Puscifer and Primus sharing a stage

And how does the sharing of band members work?

Well, it depends on the song. That's what we're going to rehearsals now to determine, having other special guests on a song or guesting on each other's songs. That will just come down to logistics and what makes sense while we're rehearsing.

You're obviously in A Perfect Circle and Puscifer. Will you be sitting in with Primus, too?

It's hard to say. Once we get into rehearsals, we'll figure out what songs they're actually doing. I don't even know.

There's that poster that says all three bands on stage at the same time. That's not for the length of the concert, is it?

So if there's a song going on that you're not taking part in, are you just hanging out on stage at that point?

Yeah, there's couches. We might be sharing cake. We're all on stage.

Oh, nice. I saw a quote from Les Claypool where he said, 'What a glorious notion of combining three bands that all start with the letter P.' Was that at all a factor in having Primus on there, that they start with a P as well?

No, it just ended up being accidental, honestly. We had tried to approach a couple other bands. It basically comes down to logistics. Who's touring? Who's writing? Who's even willing to do a thing like this?

Who are the other bands that you approached?

Pixies but they were touring right at the same time. A couple others. The names escape me at the moment.

I was thinking Primus might have been a choice because you have a relationship with Tim Alexander. Is that how they became involved?

Absolutely. I was gonna try to get him down anyway. And Les and (Primus guitarist) Larry (LaLonde) and Tim are all very open-minded. They've jammed with a lot of different people. Les' relationship with Mr. (Sean) Lennon makes sense. Some of his other projects. It just seemed to fit right.

I saw an Instagram post where you said, 'We may even play new songs.' Have you written new songs with these concerts in mind? Or do you plan on writing new songs?

There's an EP. We basically each did a song I had been working on in Logic, just kind of getting songs in the folder, getting my head around the process of using Logic, and I ended up with 60 things in the folder. I started developing them further and realized, 'Oh, this kind of sounds like a Primus song. This kind of sounds like a Puscifer song. This sounds like A Perfect Circle song.'

So we each recorded them individually and they're all gonna be on the same EP available at the concert. I think there's only, like, a handful at each show that are available. And then we're gonna probably sell them online on the actual tour website.

You're also releasing recordings of that 50th birthday concert. Did putting these concerts together inspire you to circle back to those recordings?

They're coming out now because it just took forever to get our (expletive) together. They've been bumbling around and we kind of mixed them, then we forgot about them. Then, we come back around to them and other things happened. COVID. My other three bands released albums. We just kind of lost track of it. Then last year, it was ready to go but we were like, "We might as well just wait 'til the 60th birthday party."

What's next for Keenan's bands A Perfect Circle, Puscifer and Tool?

These are A Perfect Circle's first live shows since 2018. How does it feel to be getting back together with those guys?

I think it's gonna be fun. It was in the past. Like I said, rehearsals are starting pretty soon. So we're blowing the dust off.

With all those song ideas you got together to arrive at these new songs you did for this EP, have you given any thought to getting either A Perfect Circle or Puscifer back into the studio or wherever you'd like to record?

I mean, that's always happening. There's always folders of stuff we're working on. It's just a matter of setting aside the time to do it, to finish it off. But all those things are on the table. Always. That's what we do.

There's obviously been a lot of talk surrounding Tool recording a new album. How are things going on that front?

As you know, I wait for them to tell me that there's something to discuss. Then I'm all ears.

So it hasn't gotten to the point where you're adding to the creative process yet?

I'm not even gonna say a word about it. Because if I even mention a syllable, that's the whole article and my 60th birthday party gets a sidenote, right?

Why Keenan opened a fried chicken restaurant in Arizona

I hear you just opened a new fried chicken place in Cottonwood.

What can you tell me about that?

That it's delicious and you should drive north and check it out. It's a little Southwestern twist on hot chicken .

Keenan's chicken: This Arizona rock star makes killer fried chicken. Now he's selling it with wine pairings

What inspired you to open a chicken place?

Mead, to be honest. I was making mead right around COVID lockdown. I'd had a bunch of honey wines and people kind of overdo them. They age them in a whiskey barrel. They add cherries and blueberries and a bunch of garbage. I just wanted to try an actual honey wine to see what it was like. So I dove in. We made the first one. It was delicious. I ended up carbonating it and putting in a Puscifer can, so it's a Puscifer Queen Bee Mead.

Then once we tried it, the first thought that I had was that it would pair perfectly with my fried chicken recipe. So I started experimenting with that, kind of pairing them together to see if that worked and it was delicious. So that's why we're doing the chicken actually, because of the mead.

Sessanta will have special guests and birthday cake for Maynard

Is there anything else about the birthday concerts that you think people should know?

I think it's just strap in because it's probably not something you're used to. You're used to an opening band, maybe another opener. And then the headliners. It's not laid out like that. It's much more festive. And the rotation, if we do it right. We pulled it off on Sinquanta. It was pretty flawless. So hopefully we can do it this time. It's a different setup a little bit from last time, but it's gonna be fun.

When you talked about sofas and cake and being on stage with the other bands even when you're not performing, is the idea to make it feel more like a party than a concert up there?

Both. I think you can have both, right? A concert party. Party concert.

Sure. It sounds like a great time.

It's gonna be fun. We'll have special guests and people you didn't expect to be up there. Can't really nail anybody down. Because if I say it out loud, then they'll have a dentist appointment and they won't show up. Musicians are flaky like that. So I can't really announce special guests.

But you anticipate there there could be special guests in assorted cities on the tour.

Oh, yeah, absolutely. That's the plan.
