Manchester post-punk icons Chameleons officially announce their 2026 North American tour following the immense critical success of their latest studio effort ‘Arctic Moon’. This tour represents a landmark moment for the group as they support their first full-length studio album in over twenty-four years. The journey begins on April 7 at the Varsity Theater in Minneapolis and moves through major markets including Chicago, Toronto, and New York City. The Veldt will join the lineup as the opening act for all scheduled dates. Entry is available when tickets go on sale Friday, January 23 at 10am local time.
The new record ‘Arctic Moon’ has earned significant praise from major publications for its emotional depth and musical maturity. Reviews highlight the band’s ability to recapture their original magic while incorporating a fresh and expansive sonic palette. Listeners describe the new material as a breathtaking celebration of cultural resonance and rhythmic precision. The tracklist includes the powerful single “Saviours Are A Dangerous Thing” and the slow-burning epic “David Bowie Takes My Hand”. Singer and bassist Mark Burgess notes that the songwriting reflects a positive step forward for the current lineup.
Chameleons continue to be cited as a primary influence for generations of alternative artists from Oasis to Interpol. Their live performances remain the stuff of legend, characterized by shimmering guitars and nimble basslines that define the post-punk era. The current band features founding members Burgess and Reg Smithies alongside Stephen Rice, Danny Ashberry, and Todd Demma. This tour follows a career renaissance that saw the group releasing two critically hailed EPs in 2024. These upcoming shows provide the first opportunity for North American fans to hear the new songs performed live alongside classic hits.
The tour route covers twenty-two cities before concluding on May 2 at Numbers in Houston. Stops along the way include historic venues such as The Stone Pony in Asbury Park and Radio City Music Hall in New York. The band remains rooted in the gnarled angst and integrity that first made them a cult favorite in Manchester four decades ago. Each night promises a high-energy set that bridges the gap between their 1980s legacy and 21st-century relevance.
Thousands of fans and colleagues gathered at Civic Center Plaza in San Francisco on Saturday, January 17, to commemorate the life of Bob Weir. The event, titled “Homecoming: Celebrating the Life of Bobby Weir,” provided a space for the community to recognize the immense influence of the Grateful Dead co-founder. Attendees shared stories and musical tributes following Weir’s passing on January 10. The ceremony reached a global audience through a live stream on the Nugs.net platform. Listeners describe the new material as a breathtaking celebration of cultural resonance and rhythmic precision.
Special guests including Joan Baez and California representative Nancy Pelosi shared personal memories of the legendary guitarist during the afternoon. Weir’s bandmates Mickey Hart and Oteil Burbridge stood alongside his widow Natascha Weir and daughters Chloe and Monet to lead the tributes. Video messages from Bill Kreutzmann, Dave Matthews, and Sammy Hagar played throughout the service to offer condolences. Each speaker emphasized the fearless spirit and curiosity that defined Weir’s path to musical glory. The gathering highlighted the lasting presence of the countercultural community he helped build.
John Mayer delivered a particularly emotional speech reflecting on the decade he spent performing in Dead and Company alongside Weir. He noted that their partnership succeeded because of a shared trust and a dedication to the divine moments of live music. “Bob took a chance on me,” Mayer stated during the memorial. “He gave me musical community.” The performance concluded with Mayer’s rendition of the classic song “Ripple” for the assembled crowd. This tribute underscored the deep friendship and professional respect shared between the two guitarists.
The preserved stream remains available for those who were unable to attend the San Francisco event in person. This public celebration served as a final homecoming for an artist who spent over sixty years shaping the American musical landscape. It captured the heart and soul of a career dedicated to the exploration of the unknown. The influence of Weir’s work continues to inspire new generations of musicians and fans worldwide. His legacy is now firmly etched into the history of the city he called home for so many years.
Fast Money Music returns to the airwaves with “Unfortunately”, a bittersweet single that serves as the final preview of a self-titled debut album. Arriving on April 17, the record follows the steady momentum generated by previous tracks “Round and Round” and “Lover Boy”. This latest offering features a driving pulse and dueling guitars that create a space between intimacy and distance. The songwriting utilizes seaside imagery to explore the complex cycles of timing within a relationship. Listeners describe the new material as a breathtaking celebration of cultural resonance and rhythmic precision.
The track emerged from recording sessions at Hackney Road Studios and a private space in Dalston. Producer Mikko Gordon, known for his work with Idles, collaborated with Nick Hinman to shape the sonic landscape. The production pulls from the melodic grooves of The War On Drugs while adding a bright jangle reminiscent of Orange Juice. “It is my haunted reply to Rupert Holmes’ Escape,” explains Hinman regarding the lyrical inspiration. The song focuses on intuition and the weight of self-doubt that often accompanies personal growth.
A diverse lineup of collaborators contributed to the project, including John Waugh and George Daniel of The 1975. Members of Klaxons and CMAT also lend their talents to the album’s vignettes of art-pop and post-punk. Hinman views the debut LP as an amalgamation of memories that feels like his most authentic creative statement. Mastered by Matt Colton, the twelve-track collection explores themes of longing and identity written across a decade. The result lands fully in its own world of new wave and lo-fi charm.
The artist has cultivated a loyal following through sold-out headline performances across East London and a slot at The Great Escape 2025. Support from major broadcasters like Steve Lamacq and Jack Saunders has helped elevate the project since its 2022 inception. This spring release marks the culmination of years of work and a tour supporting Tempesst. Fans can pre-order the album ‘Fast Money Music’ starting today to prepare for the April launch. This release establishes the project as a vital voice in the current alternative scene.
Three cornerstones of the British music scene join forces for the massive “Generations Tour” hitting North American stages this June. The Human League, Soft Cell, and Alison Moyet represent a colossal shift in electronic music that continues to resonate today. This twenty-one-date trek begins June 2 at the Cal Coast Credit Union Open Air Theatre in San Diego. The schedule includes high-profile stops at the Hollywood Bowl, Radio City Music Hall, and the Grand Ol Opry. Fans can secure entry during the general on-sale starting Friday, January 23 at 10am local time.
The tour celebrates forty years of innovative sound that influenced global club culture and fashion. Soft Cell vocalist Marc Almond describes the opportunity to share a bill with these legendary artists as an absolute honor. This run serves as a poignant tribute to the late Dave Ball, with the band preparing to release their final album ‘Danceteria’ this summer. Listeners describe the new material as a breathtaking celebration of cultural resonance and rhythmic precision. The performances will feature a mix of classic chart-toppers and fresh studio recordings.
Alison Moyet joins the lineup following her successful 2025 world tour and the release of her recent album ‘Key’. She notes that live work remains a primal and euphoric experience that allows her to connect with herself on stage. Philip Oakey of The Human League expresses excitement about returning to the United States for the first time in over a decade. The group brings a catalog of over forty million records sold, including hits like “Don’t You Want Me” and “Human”. Their presence ensures an evening of sophisticated pop and pioneering electronic textures.
The tour concludes on July 2 at the Fallsview Casino Resort in Niagara, Ontario. Between these bookend dates, the artists visit major markets including Dallas, Chicago, and Philadelphia. Each performer has maintained a fierce independence and commitment to musicianship since their debut in the early eighties. Various presales begin tomorrow, January 21, for those looking to purchase tickets before the weekend.

The digital landscape of music criticism shifts today as the venerable Pitchfork platform introduces a new subscription tier for its global audience. This evolution marks thirty years of daily album reviews and detailed scoring for the publication. For a monthly fee of five dollars, readers can now contribute their own scores to the site for the first time. This initiative transforms the traditional authoritative review into a two-way conversation between professional critics and the listening public. Listeners describe the new material as a breathtaking celebration of cultural resonance and rhythmic precision.
Subscribers gain the ability to comment on specific reviews and participate in moderated community discussions. When five or more readers submit a rating for a specific project, an aggregate score appears alongside the official Pitchfork number. This feature highlights the inherent social nature of music discovery and opinion. The new model also unlocks the complete digital vault of the site which houses over 30,000 historical reviews. This archive represents one of the most comprehensive collections of music journalism currently available on the internet.
While the new paywall restricts unlimited access to reviews, several sections of the site remain free for casual browsing. The news department, long-form features, and regular columns continue to operate without a subscription requirement. Occasional visitors can also access four full reviews per month before encountering the membership prompt. These changes focus on funding the ongoing dedication to professional music criticism in a volatile media market. The site aims to foster a generative environment where discourse thrives beyond simple social media interactions.
Founder Ryan Schreiber initially launched the project as a grassroots effort before it grew into an industry powerhouse. This latest update emphasizes that criticism should act as a springboard for deeper connections to the art form. Investment from the community helps ensure the publication reaches its next thirty-year milestone. Editors will oversee all community guidelines to maintain a respectful and productive dialogue within the new comments sections. This shift signifies a commitment to the loyal following that has supported the site since its early days on the web.
Renowned songwriter Bill Callahan announces the release of his latest studio album ‘My Days of 58’ on February 27 via Drag City. To celebrate the news, Callahan has shared the third and final single “Stepping Out for Air” today. This new collection of twelve tunes explores uncanny depths of expression while maintaining the living energies of a live performance. The record features the core group of musicians from his recent tours including guitarist Matt Kinsey, saxophonist Dustin Laurenzi, and drummer Jim White. This lineup previously demonstrated a powerful synergy on the 2024 live release Resuscitate!.
The recording process for this project relied heavily on spontaneity and the human element of making music. Callahan recorded the basic tracks for most songs as a duo with Jim White before layering additional arrangements. “Improv/unpredictability/the unknown is the thing that keeps me motivated to keep making music,” Callahan explains regarding his studio philosophy. He describes the final result as a living room record that prioritizes a relaxed and intimate attitude. Listeners describe the new material as a breathtaking celebration of cultural resonance and rhythmic precision.
Callahan expanded the sonic palette of the album by collaborating with several guest musicians including fiddle player Richard Bowden and pianist Pat Thrasher. Photographer and pedal steel player Bill McCullough contributed both musical textures and the front and back cover photography. Callahan notes that McCullough approaches the steel guitar with the same eye for foreground and background as his photographic work. “Hobo stew is always the idea, throwing together who I have at hand instead of following a recipe,” says Callahan. This approach ensures each track captures a unique and unrepeatable moment in time.
The album arrives on multiple formats including a double LP, CD, and cassette. It serves as a sharp piece of slice-of-life portraiture that cuts deeper than his previous efforts. Every session began with a goal of finding something human within the mistakes and using them as springboards for creativity. The band practiced with a focus on listening to one another to allow for charts and spontaneity to coexist. Fans can now listen to “Stepping Out for Air” as a final preview before the full twelve-song journey becomes available next month.
A pioneer across platforms, Tori Amos is a multiplatinum singer-songwriter, pianist and composer who is nominated for a GRAMMY for the soundtrack to her 2025 New York Times bestselling children’s book Tori and the Muses. Today, Tori has announced the May 1st release date and unveiled the artwork for her 18th studio albumIn Times of Dragons. Revered for building a multifaceted and unifying career of work defined by fearless activism and otherworldly musicianship, the new collection continues this storytelling tradition through a dynamic cast of characters. It is a powerful journey of resilience and awakening where the pursuit of freedom meets forces that seek to control and silence.
Tori shares, “In Times of Dragons is a metaphorical story about the fight for Democracy over Tyranny, reflecting the current abhorrent non accidental burning down of democracy in real time by the ‘Dictator believing Lizard Demons’ in their usurpation of America.”
The album release will be supported by Amos’ largest European tour for a decade, spanning 17 countries across April and May 2026. The live shows will see Amos joined once again by longtime collaborators Jon Evans (MD and bass) and Ash Soan (drums), alongside the addition of three backing singers – Liv Gibson, Deni Hlavinka and Hadley Kennary – performing songs from In Times of Dragons alongside highlights from across her illustrious 35-year career, which has seen eight Grammy nominations and over 12 million global album sales.
The captivatingIn Times of Dragons album cover artwork is also revealed today, intricately created using a unique vintage process. Photographer Kasia Wozniak worked with direct paper positives using the RA-4 process, shooting everything on a large-format camera. Says Woniak of the full artwork “Each photograph was slowly composed, photographed, and processed. It felt magical to weave Tori’s work and vision with my own. We moved from photograph to photograph with an intuitive rhythm, aligned in every shot. The process became a kind of ritual”. Speaking on the process of creating the album artwork Tori continues, “To work with Kasia and Stylist Karen Binns to bring the story and characters to life was a truly moving experience. Seeing our collaborations come to life, with them and the whole team will live with me forever”.
With In Times of Dragons, Tori once again brings together the political and the personal in a work which resonates with the urgency of modern times.

“Feel Alive” is a soaring, emotionally charged collaboration that brings together ILLENIUM, Bastille, and Dabin at the intersection of melodic bass and alternative pop. Anchored by shimmering guitar lines and expansive, cinematic production, the track slowly builds before erupting into a euphoric release designed for both festival stages and late-night drives. Bastille frontman Dan Smith’s unmistakable vocals deliver a sense of urgency and cut through the warmth of the track as ILLENIUM and Dabin layer pulsing synths and dynamic drops that amplify the song’s emotional core. The result is a powerful anthem about connection, release, and the moments that make you feel fully alive.
Last month, ILLENIUM released “War,” a high-impact track featuring rising alternative singer-songwriter Lø Spirit (listen HERE), and announced the stacked special guest lineup for his ILLENIUM Presents ODYSSEY shows at Sphere in Las Vegas this March and April, including Alok, Dab The Sky, Wooli, Levity, Audien, Ray Volpe, SLANDER, DJ Diesel and Tape B.
The momentum sets the stage for what will be one of the biggest years in ILLENIUM’s career. Up next, ILLENIUM will release his highly anticipated album ODYSSEY on February 6, 2026, a body of work that ushers in a new era of emotional storytelling, maximalist production, and expansive sonic world-building. To celebrate the release, ILLENIUM will be performing an album release show in San Francisco at Pier 80 Warehouse on Thursday, February 5th, the day before the album is out. Tickets go on sale at 12pm PT today. Get them HERE. Following the album release party, ILLENIUM will have a nine-night run of ODYSSEY shows at Sphere March 5, 6, 7, 12, 13 & 14 and April 2, 3 & 4. These shows mark the only opportunity for fans to experience ODYSSEY live.
Serving as his artistic canvas, Sphere’s immersive technologies – including the world’s highest-resolution LED display that wraps up, over and around the audience and the world’s most advanced concert-grade audio system, Sphere Immersive Sound – form the jewelbox for the multi-sensory experience of ODYSSEY, ILLENIUM’s most ambitious project to date.

ILLENIUM isn’t just a GRAMMY Award-nominated multi-platinum artist, producer, and songwriter; he’s the architect of a living, breathing, and ever-expanding world. Based in Denver, ILLENIUM initially introduced himself back in 2013. Fueled by a boundary-breaking sound, he has notched three consecutive #1 debuts on the Billboard Top Dance/Electronic Albums Chart, beginning with the Gold-certified Ascend [2019], Fallen Embers [2021], and Il[2023]. Along the way, he delivered a string of smashes, including the 2x-Platinum “Good Things Fall Apart” [feat. Jon Bellion], Platinum “Feel Good” [feat. Daya] with Gryffin and “Takeaway” with The Chainsmokers, Gold-certified “In Your Arms” with X Ambassadors and “Crashing” [feat Bahari]. Fallen Embers received a GRAMMY nomination in the category of “Best Dance/Electronic Music Album” and took home “Top Dance/Electronic Music Album” at the Billboard Music Awards. He’s established himself as a chameleonic presence collaborating with musicians across genres including Teddy Swims, JVKE, iann dior, Spiritbox, Tom DeLonge, Travis Barker, and Avril Lavigne. Beyond igniting the stage at festivals such as Coachella and Lollapalooza, he entered the history books with his “Trilogy” stadium concert series. In 2021, he became “the first electronic dance music artist to headline a football stadium” when he took over Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. Two years later, he led “the largest non-festival dance music concert in North America ever” at Empower Field at Mile High in Denver. Finally, 2024 saw him pack two nights at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. Joining forces with Republic Records, he welcomes all into the embrace of this world via a flurry of new music with more to come.
Over the course of more than a decade together, Bastille’s distinctive sound and cinematic songwriting have connected with audiences across the globe like few other British bands in recent memory. Their chart-topping, twice No.1 debut album Bad Blood—featuring the era-defining hit “Pompeii”—was the biggest-selling digital album of 2013 and made Bastille the year’s biggest global breakthrough act. With over a billion Spotify streams, the band won the British Breakthrough Act award at the 2014 BRITs and received two Grammy nominations. Bad Blood has since gone triple platinum and sold over one million copies in the UK alone. Further No.1 albums followed with Wild World (2016) and Give Me The Future (2022), alongside Doom Days (No.4, 2019) and the acclaimed documentary Bastille Re-Orchestrated. Their 2018 “Happier” collaboration with Marshmello has been streamed over 7 billion times. In 2023, the band celebrated the 10-year anniversary of Bad Blood with the release of Bad Blood X and a sold-out international run of shows and festivals. That same year, they collaborated with multiple Academy Award and Grammy-winning composer Hans Zimmer on Pompeii MMXXIII, a powerful rework of their breakthrough hit that closed BBC’s Planet Earth III. Following a two-year hiatus from performing live, Bastille returned to the stage in November 2025 for their “From All Sides” tour performing sold out arena shows in nine cities across the UK. Alongside celebrating the band’s career to date, the expansive set carried a forward-looking energy bringing together over a decade of the band’s music with a clear sense of evolution, seamlessly threading in the sounds and ideas shaping their next chapter. The tour culminated with the release of the band’s first original new music in 3 years, a new single entitled, “SAVE MY SOUL”. With over 13 million records sold, three UK No.1 albums, six UK Top 40 singles and more than two billion video views, Bastille remain one of the world’s most streamed acts, and one of the most influential British bands of a generation. Dabin is a JUNO nominated music producer/instrumentalist from Toronto. Having spent his teens learning to play the piano, drums and guitar, Dabin started producing electronic music in 2011. He quickly attracted the attention of Kannibalen Records and released his first tracks on the ever growing independent label only a year later. Now Dabin has increased his exposure by supplementing releases with Mr. Suicide Sheep’s Vancouver label, Seeking Blue.
Dabin has gained hundreds of millions of plays while refining his musical style into what it is today. His “Wild Youth” LP has seen Dabin solidify his signature sound which blends acoustic elements with electronic ones through a dance-pop lense, while his “Between Broken” LP further evolved his creative output. His latest album Aura Park saw an even bigger expansion of his crossover style and included major collaborations with the likes of Skylar Grey, Stephanie Poetri and Lø Spirit.
His high level of musicality has caught the ears of collaborators including Seven Lions, SLANDER, Said the Sky and Black Tiger Sex Machine, as well as Illenium who Dabin has collaborated with for “Hearts On Fire” and numerous tours together as a live band.
Dabin has formed his own Sanctuary Live Band alongside members including Grabbitz that debuted in 2023. Dabin has also continued his unique live solo show at venues and festivals across the globe, including his very own festival, Stay In Bloom, which sold out its first two years at Stanford, and expanded to New York City in 2025.
Today, 2x GRAMMY-nominated, multi-platinum superstar Noah Kahan announces the long-awaited release of his brand new single, “The Great Divide,” arriving January 30th on Mercury Records.
