The Who‘s North American tour has taken them to Cincinnati, Ohio, for their first performance in the city for nearly 45 years.The midwest US city was the centre of an infamous tragedy during the band’s tour in December of 1979.

Spotify for the first time in over two years, the streaming service has confirmed.In early 2020, Spotify announced that it was pausing all political ad sales in the US ahead of the 2020 presidential election between Donald Trump and Joe Biden, saying in a statement that the advertisements were too hard to “validate and review.”Now, as reported by Protocol, Spotify has said that ads of this nature are slowly set to return to the service.“Following our pause of political ads in early 2020, we have spent the past two years strengthening and enhancing our processes, systems and tools to responsibly validate and review this content,” Spotify said in a statement.“We are now beginning to sell select political advertisements in opted-in third-party podcasts via the Spotify Audience Network in the U.S.”According to Pitchfork, political ads will not play between songs for users on Spotify’s free tier, and that the service will only work with known candidates.“At this point in time, we do not yet have the necessary level of robustness in our process, systems and tools to responsibly validate and review this content,” Spotify said in a statement to Ad Age at the time of removing political ads at the start of 2020.
