In the meantime, we’ve got big news in the world of music, including tour announcements from Justin Bieber, My Chemical Romance and The Strokes, and a brand-new album from Louis Tomlinson.

Beliebers, take note: the pop star will be back on the road following the upcoming release of his fifth album, Changes, due out on Valentine’s Day. Along with the announcement, Bieber premiered the first episode of his 10-part documentary series, Justin Bieber: Seasons. He also released new song “Get Me,” featuring Kehlani, who will join Bieber as a special guest (along with Jaden Smith) on the Changes tour. The North American trek will kick off in Seattle on May 14 and close out in East Rutherford, New Jersey, on September 26. Tickets go on sale the same day his album drops, on February 14.

After disbanding in 2013, My Chemical Romance officially reunited last month in Los Angeles, and their fans have been itching for more shows. Now, the Jersey alt-rock greats have announced a string of North American dates for this fall. The tour will begin in Detroit on September 9 before wrapping up in Las Vegas on October 11. We hope they drop some new music before then — they’ve already teased us with an instrumental track in a video titled “An Offering…” For now, you can grab tickets to any of their upcoming shows today.
