Glaive and Kurtains Take ‘God Save The Three’ on a Massive Global Tour This Fall
Glaive and kurtains have announced the God Save The Three Tour, a global run launching September 25 in support of their new collaborative album ‘God Save The Three’, out now to acclaim from The Line of Best Fit, Stereogum, and Clash. Underground producer prodigy kurtains joins all dates, with Tiffany Day supporting select North American stops.
The 2 have history that runs deep. When they were still in school, glaive and kurtains helped fuel an internet-driven sound that pushed the boundaries of electronic pop and captured a genuine cultural moment. ‘God Save The Three’ builds on that shared creative language, while glaive’s previous album ‘Y’ALL’, produced entirely by kurtains, traced the story of a teenager returning home to North Carolina at 20, a radically changed person in an unchanged place.
Glaive arrives at this tour as one of the most critically documented artists of his generation. Works including ‘cypress grove’, ‘all dogs go to heaven’, and ‘then i’ll be happy’ earned him recognition from The New York Times, Vulture, GQ, and The FADER. His second studio album ‘May It Never Falter’, recorded in the remote landscapes of Iceland and Wales and listed among the best albums of 2024 by Vogue, established his independent chapter with force.
The North American leg runs through October, hitting Philadelphia’s Union Transfer, Boston’s Paradise Rock Club, and Houston’s White Oak Music Hall before the European run takes over in November with stops in Cologne, Berlin, Paris, Milan, and more. Tickets go on sale Friday May 15 at 10 am local, with presales running this week.

Souvenirs: 80 Years of John Prine Brings a Community of Artists to Chicago This October
October 8, 2026 would have been John Prine’s 80th birthday. The Prine Family and the Hello in There Foundation are marking the occasion with Souvenirs: 80 Years of John Prine, a tribute concert at The Chicago Theatre bringing together a wide community of artists to perform their favorite Prine songs, backed by his longtime live band.
Host and performer John C. Reilly leads a lineup that already includes Alynda Segarra of Hurray for the Riff Raff, Amos Lee, Andrew Sa, Briscoe, Jon Langford, Josh Ritter, Joy Oladokun, Kathleen Edwards, Margo Price, Noeline Hofmann, Ratboys, Shemekia Copeland, Steve Earle, The Cactus Blossoms, and The Sullivan Sisters, with more names still to be announced.
Additional events are planned across October 8–11, with full details coming in the weeks ahead. Proceeds benefit the Hello in There Foundation’s ongoing grantmaking, which since 2021 has distributed nearly $1.4 million in community grants to more than 100 organizations addressing food insecurity, housing, mental health, immigrant and refugee justice, addiction recovery, and more.
The foundation’s mission mirrors what Prine embodied across 5 decades: the belief that every life is worth singing about, and that music, at its best, is an act of community.
Adrien Nunez Is Headed to the Grand Ole Opry for His Long-Overdue Debut
Adrien Nunez makes his Grand Ole Opry debut on Wednesday, June 17, 2026, and the announcement came with the kind of surprise moment that makes country music tick. Russell Dickerson called it from the stage of Nashville’s Ascend Amphitheater on May 8, catching Nunez completely off guard in front of the crowd.
Nunez will perform select songs and fan favorites from his 2026 EP ‘Don’t Wanna Go Home’, out now via Warner Records Nashville. The Opry appearance adds another landmark moment to a year that’s already been moving fast for the rising singer.
Earlier in 2026, Nunez lit up Stagecoach Festival with 4 high-energy sets including a Mane Stage appearance and a surprise late-night slot with Diplo, where the 2 debuted the first-ever live performance of “Two Steppin’,” their new collaboration available now via Atlantic Outpost.
A debut album for Warner Records is currently in the final stages, with a release expected in the months ahead.

The Waterboys Release New Single “Don’t Even Have To Say His Name” Ahead of Arena Tour and New Album
The Waterboys have released “Don’t Even Have To Say His Name,” a new single out now on Chrysalis Records, written by Mike Scott as a direct response to the current political climate in the United States. “I hate bullies, and this song reflects my feelings about the political leadership of a country I love,” Scott says. “This song is part of our small contribution to that process. May it serve its purpose.” Produced by Puck Fingers and Famous James, the track features Scott on vocals and guitar alongside Famous James on piano and organ, Aongus Ralston on bass, and Crash Barclay on drums.
The single arrives ahead of ‘Atlantic Rain’, a 3-disc set of previously unheard music from the classic Fisherman’s Blues era, due July 17, and a run of summer arena dates under the banner The Fisherman’s Blues Revue. The ensemble is a serious one. Americana singer-songwriter Steve Earle joins to perform his own songs while contributing vocals, guitar, and mandolin to Waterboys material. Legendary Waterboys fiddler Steve Wickham and Fisherman’s Blues flautist Colin Blakey are also on board, alongside Brother Paul on organ, Famous James on piano, Aongus Ralston on bass, Eamon Ferris on drums, and Norwegian lap steel ace Roar Øien.
The Waterboys 2026 Eire and UK Dates:
Aug 29 – Glasgow, UK @ OVO Hydro
Sep 5 – Dublin, Ireland @ 3Arena

Robin Trower Brings 19-Date US Tour This Fall Behind a Landmark Year of New Releases
Robin Trower has packed more into 2026 than most artists manage in several years, and now he’s hitting the road to match it. The former Procol Harum guitarist has announced a 19-date US tour launching September 15 in Fort Lauderdale and wrapping October 14 in St. Charles, Illinois, following a 5-date UK run in late August and early September.
The touring comes on the back of a remarkable run of releases. January brought ‘One Moment in Time: Live in the USA’, recorded across his 42-date 2025 American tour. April delivered an expanded edition of the classic ‘Robin Trower Live!’, including the complete 1975 Stockholm concert in full for the first time. And last month, Trower confirmed he’d just finished an entirely new studio album, the follow-up to last year’s ‘Come and Find Me’.
For a guitarist whose 1974 breakthrough ‘Bridge of Sighs’ remains a touchstone of blues-rock, this level of sustained output and live commitment speaks to an artist still fully engaged with the craft.

Lamb of God and Trivium Bring a Co-Headline Metal Juggernaut to Australia This October
Two of heavy metal’s most formidable live acts are hitting Australia together this October. Lamb of God and Trivium have announced a 5-city co-headline arena tour presented by Destroy All Lines, with Glasgow metalcore outfit Bleed From Within along for all dates as special guests.
For Lamb of God, the run marks their first full headline Australian tour in nearly a decade. The Grammy-nominated Virginia groove-metal veterans last played the country at Knotfest Australia in 2024, and they arrive this time behind ‘Into Oblivion’, their 10th studio album released earlier this year. Their catalog of “Laid to Rest,” “Redneck,” “Walk With Me in Hell,” and “Now You’ve Got Something to Die For” has cemented them as cornerstones of the genre across 3 decades.
Trivium, Grammy-nominated and multiple Billboard 200 top 20 act, last toured Australia in 2023 for the inaugural Knotfest Australia. Their most recent output includes 2021 full-length ‘In the Court of the Dragon’ and 2024’s ‘Struck Dead’ EP, with a packed summer of European festival appearances ahead before the Australian run.
Bleed From Within bring 20 years of metalcore credibility to the support slot, fresh off their seventh studio album ‘Zenith’ in 2025, having previously shared stages with Slipknot, Bullet for My Valentine, and Megadeth.
Artist early bird presale opens Friday May 15 at 9 am local. General tickets go on sale Thursday May 21 at 9 am local via destroyalllines.com.
Lamb of God and Trivium 2026 Australian Tour:
Oct 2 – Perth @ HPC
Oct 4 – Adelaide @ AEC Theatre
Oct 6 – Melbourne @ John Cain Arena
Oct 9 – Sydney @ Hordern Pavilion
Oct 11 – Brisbane @ Riverstage
Candy Whips Gives Heaven 17’s “(We Don’t Need This) Fascist Groove Thang” a Timely New Life
Wendy Stonehenge, the electro/New Wave project Candy Whips, has released a cover of Heaven 17’s “(We Don’t Need This) Fascist Groove Thang,” and the timing is no accident. Originally released 45 years ago, the song’s political lyrics have lost none of their edge, and Stonehenge recognized it immediately. “This song was originally released 45 years ago, and it’s more relevant than ever,” he says. “I decided it needed to be given a new life.”
The interpretation slows the tempo slightly while deepening the dance groove, stripping back the arrangement to give the lyrics room to land. “My version is much more stripped down but also even more danceable,” Stonehenge explains. “This is the first time I’ve made a straight up dance track. It was a fun challenge to work outside of my usual comfort zone.”
The new single follows ‘Moonlight’, Candy Whips’ doo-wop covers EP featuring reimagined versions of The Flamingos’ “I Only Have Eyes For You,” Marvin and Johnny’s “Cherry Pie,” and the Chordettes’ “Mr. Sandman.” Ripe with vocal effects, drum machines, and synths, ‘Moonlight’ connected classic source material to a modern production sensibility. “If I could turn young people on to this older music, that would be amazing,” Stonehenge says.
An established member of Northern California glam rock outfit Glitter Wizard, Stonehenge launched Candy Whips during the pandemic as a focused outlet for synthpop and electronic experimentation, fusing punk energy with electronic production in ways that didn’t fit the Glitter Wizard mold. Critics have placed the project alongside Devo, Gary Numan, NEU!, Trevor Horn, Oingo Boingo, Wall of Voodoo, and Sparks, and the new single adds another strong entry to a catalog that keeps finding new ground.
“(We Don’t Need This) Fascist Groove Thang” is out now via Kitten Robot on all major platforms.
