Hey, it’s Jess. 👋
I’ve lived a lot of places in my 31 years — Austin, LA, Madrid, Miami, and now Nashville. No matter where I land, I’m on a mission: find the best donut shop, the most intimate music venue, and that one quirky festival locals won’t stop talking about (looking at you, Tomato Fest). Basically, I’m a certified live event addict, an avid DoMORE member, and conveniently, I also work at DoStuff — whose whole mission is getting people out to more live events. Perfect match, right?
So here’s my gift to you: DoTell — a weekly cheat code to being the one in your group chat who always knows what’s up. Every Wednesday, I’ll drop the biggest tour and music news, the hottest happenings across DoStuff, and random-but-brag-worthy things to make you sound cool at brunch. Three minutes to read. Five if you’re ADHD like me. No judgment.
THIS WEEK IN TOURS & MUSIC NEWS 🎤
Let’s talk tours — because apparently none of us are allowed to have savings this month.
First up, Andrea Bocelli just announced a 2026 North American tour celebrating the 30th anniversary of Romanza. The man’s voice still sounds like heaven, and if you’ve ever seen his son Matteo, you know musical talent (and jawlines) run in the family (I may just have a huge crush on him…).
Then there’s No Doubt, officially reuniting for a six-night run at the Vegas Sphere next year. Gwen Stefani said it “feels like going back in time,” which is also what my eyeliner does every time I try to recreate a cute cat eye look.
TWICE fans are rejoicing after new U.S. tour dates dropped — including a second Oakland show because apparently the first one broke Ticketmaster.
Meanwhile, in music-world chaos:
- Taylor Swift just announced The Eras Tour: The Final Show concert film and a six-part docuseries (The End of an Era) hitting Disney+ on December 12. I’m already prepping for nothing else to hit my feed that day.
- Megan Moroney is teasing her new single Beautiful Things (dropping later this month) — and yes, she surprise-performed it at La La Land Café here in Nashville. I may or may not have swapped my lunch break to go, laptop in hand, finishing emails in the crowd like a true multitasking queen. No regrets.
- Kylie Jenner released her debut single “Fourth Strike,” marking her official return to her “King Kylie” era (and yes, the internet is collectively confused but intrigued).
- And in “wow, we’re officially old” news: MTV is shutting down its music channels (MTV 80s, 90s, Live, and more) after four decades. RIP to the place where we all discovered Paramore, Panic!, and our questionable fashion sense.
MEMBER’S ONLY 🔥
Confession: I’m obsessed with DoMORE. I’m like a girl eagerly awaiting that text from the boy she has a crush on and when I finally get the “🎟 Your DoMORE Ticket Drop is READY!” text it might as well be a love letter.
With my membership, I score free tickets every month: concerts, comedy, festivals, even random movie premieres. Sometimes, I even score multiple drops a month (there’s a little thing called Last Minute Drops on there too..) 😏
My favorite hack, though? Gifting the ones I can’t use. My roommate scored Bacon Brother’s tickets. I handed a new friend Gryffin tickets and instantly became their coolest contact, and I gave my gym buddy tickets to a 7 Minute Fitness class. DoMORE makes me that friend who always has hookups without maxing out my credit card.

THIS WEEK IN RANDOM, BUT AWESOME, EVENTS ✨
Silent Book Club. Yes, it’s real.Groups of strangers meet in bars, cafés, or even saunas to… read. Together. Silently. No assigned books, no awkward discussion circles—just a drink, a chair, and a whole lot of introverts thriving. It’s oddly wholesome, low-pressure, and honestly kind of the coolest thing I've joined recently.Find one near you here.
WIN SOMETHING 🎁
No DoStuff email is complete without free stuff.
We’ve given away concert tickets, festival passes, even random VIP upgrades. However, this week’s prize might just fuel your entire personality.
If you’re in Chicago, or just really into espresso, we’ve got a 3-In-1 Espresso and Drip Coffee Maker up for grabs, thanks to our friends at UMI. This will be the hottest thing in your kitchen. Perfect for those mornings when you need to feel like a functioning adult before 10 a.m.
Catch you next Wednesday with more tours, more picks, and probably another overshare. In the meantime, if anyone asks — yes, I once tricked an artist manager into giving me VIP passes after claiming the artist promised them.
Love (yes, I know it's a strong word),
Jess ✨
This is really me (well, the back of my head at least)
