Bonnaroo 2026 Drops Its Full Schedule With Skrillex, The Strokes, RÜFÜS DU SOL, and Noah Kahan Leading the Charge

Bonnaroo has released its full 2026 performance schedule, and the four-day lineup running June 11 to 14 on the Farm in Manchester, Tennessee, is stacked from Thursday night through Sunday’s final set. Skrillex opens the weekend, The Strokes and RÜFÜS DU SOL headline Friday and Saturday respectively, and Noah Kahan closes it all out on Sunday, with Alabama Shakes, Tedeschi Trucks Band, Clipse, Modest Mouse, Japanese Breakfast, Trombone Shorty, Teddy Swims, Turnstile, Major Lazer, and dozens more filling out one of the most genre-spanning lineups the festival has assembled in years.

New this year, Bonnaroo is offering 1-Day and 2-Day tickets in addition to the full four-day pass, giving more fans a path to the Farm regardless of schedule or budget. The Where Stage relocates for the first time into Centeroo, hosting late-night sets from Big Gigantic, Clozee, Eazybaked, and others well into the early hours. The After Hours programming is equally deep, with Ganja White Night, Gorgon City sunrise sets, Chase and Status, Freddie Gibbs and The Alchemist, Weird Al Yankovic’s late-night Roovue, and more running alongside the main stage action.

Among the most distinctive additions is Camp Busyhead, created in partnership with Noah Kahan’s The Busyhead Project, offering morning yoga, a self-care package, and community programming, with a portion of every pass donated to mental health advocacy. Kesha, meanwhile, leads the 2026 SuperJam under the full title “KESHA PRESENTS: SUPERJÂM ESOTERÍCA: THE ALCHEMY OF POP,” which says everything and nothing at once and will almost certainly be unmissable. Infrastructure upgrades include improved drainage, miles of new roadways, 135 acres of new turf, and the long-awaited return of Bonnaroo Radio.

Tickets are on sale now at bonnaroo.com.

New Jersey Indie Rockers The Melancholy Kings Conjure Film Noir Magic on Cinematic New Single “New Girl”

New Jersey Indie Rockers The Melancholy Kings Conjure Film Noir Magic on Cinematic New Single “New Girl”

The Melancholy Kings have released “New Girl,” the fourth single from their album ‘Her Favorite Disguise’, and it’s the kind of track that rewards close listening. Built around Mike Potenza’s hushed vocals and delicate acoustic foundations, the song is an ode to a film noir ingenue frozen in celluloid, with sparse drums from Paul Andrew, atmospheric electric guitar from Peter Horvath, and Scott Selig bowing harmonics on upright bass creating a slow-burn cinematic soundscape that cellist Carolyn Jeselsohn deepens considerably with elegant, timeless lines running through the mix.

The accompanying video, also created by Selig, manipulates footage into a shape-shifting abstraction of film noir ambiance that reinforces what the lyrics are already doing: deconstructing the boundary between what’s real and what’s reel. It’s a bittersweet, hypnotic tribute to the strange intimacy of loving someone who exists only in black-and-white frames, and the whole thing lands with the atmospheric depth the subject demands.

‘Her Favorite Disguise’ was produced and recorded by Ray Ketchem at Magic Door Recording in Montclair, NJ, and draws an unapologetic line back to the rough-hewn alt-rock of the pre-grunge ’80s. The New Jersey indie rockers have already released “Bitcoin Elegy,” “Victoria,” and the quasi-psychedelic “UV,” the latter featuring trumpeter Mac Gollehon, whose credits include David Bowie, Duran Duran, and Mick Jagger. The full album is out now on limited edition 12″ vinyl and across all digital platforms.

Order of Canada Artist Tom Wilson Tehohàhake Joins Toronto’s Nicholas Metivier Gallery

Tom Wilson Tehohàhake, the Hamilton-based painter, writer, and musician appointed to the Order of Canada in 2023, has joined Nicholas Metivier Gallery, with new paintings debuting at the Dallas Art Fair April 16 to 19. Wilson has been painting for over 30 years, but his work took on an entirely new dimension after 2015, when he discovered he was adopted and that his birth mother was Mohawk from the Kahnawake reserve outside Montreal. Since then, his canvases have become the primary space where he reconciles his two lives, layering vibrant, intensely detailed imagery drawn from childhood dreams and what he describes as “blood memory,” the inherited wisdom, experience, and trauma passed down through generations. “The dotted details in these paintings are a tribute to Kahnawake beadwork, to the colour and intricacy delivered by the hands of my ancestors,” Wilson says. His bestselling 2017 autobiography ‘Beautiful Scars’ established him as a compelling literary voice, and excerpts from his writing frequently appear within the paintings themselves, making each work simultaneously visual art and personal testimony.

Twisted Sister With Sebastian Bach and Tyler Henry Are Headed to Fallsview Casino This Fall

Twisted Sister With Sebastian Bach and Tyler Henry Are Headed to Fallsview Casino This Fall

Fallsview Casino Resort has announced two very different but equally compelling fall shows at the OLG Stage. On October 8, Twisted Sister featuring Sebastian Bach on lead vocals brings a full-throttle evening of hard rock firepower to Niagara Falls, with Adam and the Metal Hawks along as special guests. Then on November 14, clairvoyant medium Tyler Henry returns with his “Evening of Hope and Healing” show, fresh off his live Netflix series ‘Live from the Other Side’. Tickets for both go on sale Friday, April 10 at 10:00am through ticketmaster.ca.

Twisted Sister’s catalog of anthems, including “We’re Not Gonna Take It” and “I Wanna Rock,” has never needed an introduction, and pairing that material with Bach, the former Skid Row frontman whose vocal range and stage presence are in a class of their own, turns the October 8 show into something genuinely hard to categorize and impossible to dismiss. Tyler Henry, meanwhile, has built one of the most dedicated followings in live entertainment through his E! series ‘Hollywood Medium with Tyler Henry’ and subsequent Netflix work, offering audiences something entirely different: comfort, validation, and the kind of emotional experience that stays with people long after the show ends.

Show Dates:

Twisted Sister Featuring Sebastian Bach on Lead Vocals Thursday, October 8, 2026 | 8:00pm | OLG Stage at Fallsview Casino

Tyler Henry – The Hollywood Medium: An Evening of Hope and Healing Saturday, November 14, 2026 | 8:00pm | OLG Stage at Fallsview Casino

Victory Kid Channel Late-Night Anxiety Into Anthemic New Single “You’re Alright”

Victory Kid Channel Late-Night Anxiety Into Anthemic New Single “You’re Alright”

Victory Kid have released “You’re Alright,” the latest single from their upcoming sophomore album ‘Catalyst’, arriving May 24. Built on the hook-heavy energy of early 2000s pop punk, the track pairs bright, driving guitars with some of the band’s most vulnerable writing yet, capturing the push and pull between internal panic and outward reassurance with the kind of anthemic lift that makes difficult subject matter feel survivable rather than suffocating.

‘Catalyst’ has a origin story worth knowing. Frontman Harrison Nida wrote the album’s foundational material during what he describes as his “reality at the bottom,” working through depression, weed dependency, and a decade-long relationship unraveling in real time, while drummer and co-founder Carlo Ribaux had relocated to Zurich, leaving the band’s future genuinely uncertain. What emerged from that period was 19 songs mapping mental health, political disillusionment, and the slow grind of self-realization. The album was ultimately recorded at Capitol Studios’ legendary Studio B, with producer Michael Pepe (Taking Back Sunday, Silverstein) bringing in Andrew Remley on bass and lead guitar, Matt Appleton on horns, and Stevie Blacke on strings to expand the sonic palette well beyond the band’s punk foundation.

“Victory Kid approached this record with poise, grace and the vision to execute a rock album that would stand the test of trends for years to come,” says Pepe. Ribaux tracked drums on the custom Masters of Maple kit built specifically for Studio B, and the room did exactly what Capitol Studios rooms do. “I’ve never played a bigger drum kit in my life,” he says. “And that’s exactly how it sounded.” The result is Victory Kid at their most expansive, balancing pit-ready anthems with moments of genuine restraint and reflection.

A European run is confirmed for summer and fall, including major festival appearances.

BTS Are About to Take on the Hottest Wings in the Game on a Record-Breaking ‘Hot Ones’ Finale

All seven members of BTS are headed to the Hot Ones table for the season finale, and host Sean Evans has already confirmed what that means: 80 wings, seven chairs, and the largest table the studio has ever seen, a record before a single sauce has been opened. The episode drops April 9 at 11 a.m. ET, and Evans is already teasing the carnage with a wink: “It’s gonna be dynamite. Smooth like butter.”

Public Enemy’s Chuck D and The Doors’ John Densmore Unite as doPE With the 2026 RSD Song of the Year

Public Enemy’s Chuck D and The Doors’ John Densmore Unite as doPE With the 2026 RSD Song of the Year

It started with a chance meeting at a Record Store Day panel in 2014 and an email a year later that read: “You’ve got the beats, I’ve got the rhymes, let’s make doPE.” Twelve years on, Public Enemy’s Chuck D and The Doors’ John Densmore have delivered exactly that. Their debut single “every tick tick tick” has been named the 2026 RSD Song of the Year, and their album ‘no country for old men’ arrives April 18 via Org Music as a limited-edition oxblood transparent high-melt vinyl in a deluxe gatefold package featuring original illustrations by Chuck D.

The project is called doPE, a name Chuck D stylized by combining the first two letters of The Doors’ iconic logo with the last two from Public Enemy’s unmistakable icon. Produced by David “C-Doc” Snyder, John Densmore, and JP Hesser, the album blends spoken word, hip-hop urgency, and raw social commentary into something that neither artist could have made alone. “John Densmore’s beat isn’t just rhythm, it’s history talking,” says Chuck D. “This collaboration is about locking generations together and pushing sound forward.”

The philosophical anchor of the record came early. When Chuck D began sending verses, Densmore responded with a line that became the project’s cornerstone: “Everybody gets older, but not everybody gets elder.” That idea of responsibility, legacy, and generational connection runs through ‘no country for old men’ from start to finish. Record Store Day co-founder Michael Kurtz put it plainly: “‘every tick tick tick’ captures that moment, as well as the times we’re living in.”

Both artists bring Hall of Fame credentials and GRAMMY Lifetime Achievement Awards to this project, along with decades of music that changed culture. The fact that ‘no country for old men’ was recorded specifically for Record Store Day brings everything full circle in a way that feels genuinely earned.

‘no country for old men’ arrives April 18 via Org Music. Record Store Day 2026 is the same day.

Finnish Rock Outfit Plastic Tears Give “Bad Ballerina” the Visual Treatment It Deserves

Plastic Tears have released a music video for “Bad Ballerina,” and it delivers exactly what the song calls for. The Finnish melodic rockers originally unveiled the track in late 2024, and the video now gives it a visual dimension built around a character who’s tough, self-possessed, and not interested in being anyone’s victim. Director Eco Inkinen layers subtle visual details against the band’s intense performance to build an atmosphere that’s both compelling and genuinely sharp, expanding the song’s story without overexplaining it.
