Woman reportedly impaled at Dierks Bentley show in New York

Nothing like a good impalement story to give fans something to think about next time they take a seat in the audience at a concert. 

Yikes!

WKTV is reporting that during Dierks Bentley's Sunday night concert at the Utica Memorial Auditorium in New York, a chunk of metal fell from the ceiling and impaled a woman in the leg.

The unidentified lady was taken out on a stretcher and nothing else is known about her condition at this time.

First a puking on stage in Pennsylvania and now an impaling in New York. Sounds like Dierks needs to bring his Riser Tour to the west coast where things tend to stay on the boring side.

Hey Hey Hey...it's iHeart Music Festival Day!

One of the biggest festivals in all of music is taking place this weekend in Viva Las Vegas! And we've got some country starts hitting the stage! Eric Church, Zac Brown Band and newly pop Taylor Swift will be headlining, but make sure to catch Kacey Musgraves and others on the smaller stages! It's sure to be a festival to remember!

If you can't make it to the festival, you can bring the festival to you for free by livestreaming it on either Yahoo Screen or on iHeartRadio. 

So you're thinking of going to a Florida Georgia Line concert?

So, thanks to my super cool job, I had the opportunity to meet the fella's of Florida Georgina Line. After being directed by someone who reeked of Vodka to the backstage, I was slightly concerned at the experience. While not overly connected, BK at least attempted to make it work and I walked away thinking they were nice enough guys. But the concert is where they really shined. They truly gave 110%. If you can get past the bro country lyrics and beat and the party atmosphere, you actually find some seriously amazing entertainers. What impressed me the most was when they sang their cover of Alabama's I'm In A Hurry and the sold out stadium went crazy and sang along. Also... I really think BK's vocals are seriously compromised in most of their set.

Now I don't think I will be running for president of their fan club, but I can say this...I left with a little more of an understanding of why people would find them exciting. 

WE Fest concert falls victim to violence...

WE Fest 2014, which has an impressive line up of Brad Paisley and Jason Aldean, saw some unfortunate behavior this past weekend. Actually unfortunate isn't the word. It was straight up scary. A stabbing.

The accused stabber, Aaron Williams, 32, was intoxicated when the incident occurred, according to the Becky County Sheriff’s Department. The stabbing took place early in the morning at a campground across the street from WE Fest, and luckily, the wounds were not life-threatening. Williams was using a handheld taser to shock a few people, and when confronted, “He took out a knife and started slashing them, and three of them received cuts on the arm,” says Sheriff Kelly Shannon. Police were called in at 1:45AM, and the victims, all three Canadian, were taken to the hospital for stitches. They were later released. Williams was arrested and was arraigned in court on Friday.

Well geezus! And according to those affliated with the festival, that while the stabbing was alarming, they are happy to see the over all atmosphere is calmer than years before...way to focus on the positive!

Your favorite CMA Fest: Country's Night To Rock Performance?

 

There were some seriously awesome moments from last night's concert. Defnitely have to pay mention to the influence of rock music with all the collaborations. One of the most talked about performances(who am I kidding, they were ALL talked about) would be Miranda Lambert and Carrie Underwood's 'Somethin Bad' as they really tried to capture the girl power theme. But my favorite goes to Little Big Town's 'Day Drinkin'

Chhhheck it out below:

Over the weekend, Luke Bryan performed for the largest country concert ever at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh. Unfortunately, the evening was marred by trash, arrests, and drunken fools. 

This poor drunk fella above was shown on a news report and now he's received the WWE treatment. 

Like I said, it shouldn't be funny but I guess when you act a fool you deserve to be laughed at. 

Oh, and don't worry too much about head-banger, the news report says that he was eventually taken to the hospital for his own safety.
